Anyone into ghost hunting?
Discussion
Done a overnighter a few weeks back in Shepton Prison. Was just going on a daytime tour (before they turn into housing) but thought it might be a bit of fun to do a ghost hunt. Started as a sceptic and finished the night still as a sceptic. A couple of funny smells (not farts!!!) and a bit of creaking but nothing that convinced me otherwise. A couple of the other groups apparently experienced things ( like a woman who felt she was being hugged around the waist and the lights flashing in one of the cells) Not quite access all areas but you can get to see most of it. Done a couple of seances, table tipping, glass moving (it moved but only because people were pushing it lightly involuntarily) and a Oujia board. Plus an hour to go and explore on your own.There's a couple of firms doing the overnight tours/ghost hunting.
I saw something on tv a few years back. They took 30 ghost hunters and split them into 2 groups of 15. They stayed overnight in a very old abbey converted into a hotel.
They told group A they were staying there for the night before visiting the haunted castle the next day. They told group B the abbey was haunted, and a young girl in a white nightdress had been brutally murdered there 150 years ago.
The next morning they asked how everyone had slept. Group A slept fine, looking forward to visiting the haunted castle.
About 12 or 13 people in group B had an awful night, chilled by weird pockets of cold air, windows flying open, creaks and groans, footsteps in their room, all the way up to an appearance by the dead girl in the nightdress.
Tells you all you need to know about this nonsense.
