Colchester Town Hall ghost hunt 17th April 2015
Colchester, Essex
Area: Council Chambers
Equipment: Dowsing Rods, Pendulums, Tech Equipment
Group C – We started by using the rods & pendulums, everyone chose one and started getting movement. Once they had established their yes & no movements, they were able to ask the spirits some questions. We had male & female spirits with us. Marc (guest) whilst sitting in the mayor’s chair saw a large black shadow in one corner of the room, he placed a KII there but didn’t see any lights go on. It wasn’t until I was talking to Edward (guest) later, he had felt a coldness next to him at the same time, in the same place as Marc had seen the shadow. But when Marc had put the KII there it had disappeared. Karen (guest) wanted to go to the Upper Gallery, and whilst there had a female spirit with her. Just before I left her on her own there, I had the name Catherine given to me, asking spirit if that was her name using the Ghost Pro, it confirmed yes. I left Karen talking to the spirit with her pendulum & ghost pro and she was able to find out the spirit had been murdered here by her husband, who had also killed their children. She was an older woman with grey hair, with a hat wearing a black dress. When Karen came down, Marc & Helen went to the balcony and whilst there they were asking spirit to touch them. They started to realise both were being touched at the same time in the same place each time. They also had the spirit box with them and asked the question “how many persons were in this room” and they clearly heard the number seven – there were seven of us.
Group A – Again started by showing the guests how to use the rods & pendulums, and most had movement. Some had a male spirit, another had a small female child, possibly aged around 5 or 6. We could feel her warm energy between us, around our hip height. We both sensed she had long blond straight hair, she confirmed this by answering yes on the pendulum. When using the spirit box we had alot of words come through, but none clear enough. We were all hearing something different each time. Steve (guest) was standing by the door using rods, and was sensing a mayor with him. Asking if that was the shadow that was seen in the earlier session, the rods answered yes. The rods also pointed to where we need to look to see him again, which was the same place seen earlier. Steve had also felt a touch a moment before. We did keep looking in that area hoping to see the shadow again, but unfortunately no.
Group B – Using the rods & pendulums again to start, lots had movement, all were able to communicate with spirit, some had male, others had female. When using the equipment we did have some relavant words on the Ovilus, but had many more words on the Spirit Box: the name Bob & Stephen for the name of the spirits, no guests names said when asked but did say the number of people in the room correctly twice – ten. People were seeing shadows in various places in the room, and one guest saw a shadow behind me at the same time I felt someone shaking my chair I was sitting on.
After the last controlled session finished I stayed with another team member Louise and did some glasswork. The glass started moving, and after establishing our yes & no positions, the spirit confirmed he was the mayor from earlier. Surprisingly we felt the table shake whilst the glass was moving. This was a very large heavy table and we found it difficult to move ourselves. We did ask the spirit to take the glass to where he was standing which he did. We were also hearing noises and footsteps around us. I could also feel someone touching my hair.
The Town Hall at Colchester is an amazing building, very active with spirit, and one I cannot wait to return.
