Fort Horsted ghost hunt 28th March 2015
Chatham, Kent
Area: Hanging Room
Equipment: Ouija, Table Tipping, Writing Planchette, Dowsing Rods, Pendulums
Group C – We started with 4 guests on table tipping, and the other 4 on Ouija. The guests on the table had worked with spirit before so immediately starting getting movement. They asked spirit to move the table showing yes & no, and were able to identify the spirit with them. It was a male spirit called Ned, aged 34, had been strangled at the fort, and was Saxon. On the Ouija we didn’t get any movement, so we started using the dowsing rods & pendulums and was able to ask spirit some questions. We then swapped the guests over. The table did start moving slightly, but we also heard taps underneath the table. We then switched to the writing planchette, and stating that we only had 8 minutes left, the writing planchette started moving and drew and number 8. As we were feeling the table moving we said if this spirit was a male, surely they cannot move both, but to our surprise the planchette and table both started moving. And again we were hearing taps underneath the table. The other group were using the rods and were getting lots of movement.
Group A – With this group the table started tipping immediately, and it was still Ned with us. As only slight movement on the Ouija, everyone went on the table. After a lot of movement, the table went quiet for a short while, but as soon as I suggested we try the writing planchette, the table started moving again. They table ‘walked’ from one end of the room the other. We then asked spirit to take the table to where he was standing, and the table walked to the top of the stairs, where I and Tim (guest) were standing. We asked spirit some more questions, lifting the table towards myself and Tim for yes, away for no. Ned was from Hungary, in the 1200’s, had three sons – Thomas, Sid and Rob. The guests were asking spirit to give this information to them in their heads, and some guests were getting the same information. The table would lift yes/ no to confirm this. He also had a wife called Laura who had died in childbirth. Two guests had pain in their lower back, and spirit confirmed he had affected them. When asked to take the pain away, their backs stopped hurting. We finished the session with spirit moving the table rapidly around the room, spinning in many random movements, to the point with just three guests touching the table with their ‘pinkies’.
Group B – Again we had Ned with us again, moving the table immediately for the guests. Lots of spinning, tipping and rocking. On the Ouija we had some movement, a male spirit aged 23 with he initials EJU. He said there were 6 spirits in the room with us. We did try the writing planchette and this time had a lot of drawing. Asking spirit to draw his first initial a letter N was drawn. Asking spirit to write the number of people touching the planchette (there were five) the number 5 was drawn. After the session had finished, one guest said he had felt a tug on his trousers when I started with the circle. With all of us holding hands he felt surprised to have felt this.
In the free session I joined two girls with a KII & Ghost Pro in the tunnel in area 10. We did hear footsteps walking towards us, and felt tingles on us too. Then we joined some more guests in room 10 table tipping. The spirit that was with us was a French male that had been in this area earlier. He was able to answer some questions by lifting the table to show yes & no. He had passed over between 50 – 100 years ago, of natural causes aged over 50. He had fought in WW2. He was not connected to the fort, but his wife had worked here. He was unhappy because his wife had an affair, and had a child with this man. Although being unhappy he still felt happy to be here with us, and was able to move the table a lot. We asked if he could make a noise that we could here, and we heard a whistle in the room. We asked again and there was a whistle heard in the corridor. We asked again as some guests were still unsure if they had heard it, and everyone heard a whistle again next to us. Three female guests wanted to visit the new area above us, whilst the rest of us returned to base. When these guests returned they said as they had been leaving the tunnel in the new area they heard a very loud female scream in the tunnel. They stopped and started to return to the tunnel, but on hearing the scream again, decided not to go any further.
Would definitely like to check out that area when we return.
