Tesla's Spirit radio

Is this the real origin of spirit boxes, and spirit radios that we use today in paranormal investigations? If so does this answer some questions about what we are hearing??

Experiments with terror

Recently read an article on modern music manly electronic, that adopts a more ghostly or other worldly tone. I'll post the article here http://www.spookyisles.com/2012/05/music-experiments-with-terror/

My words would not do it justice, but! What if some if this music was played to a group of people about to enter on a all night haunted vigil, or a evening ghost walk?
Would it change their perception?
Would it change what they see or hear?
I'd love to try this! And record results as well as a control group for contrast. Have a listen and maybe try it for yourself..

The tale of Dorothy Matley, from the book folk tales and legends of Derbyshire.

A tale of Dorothy Matley, swallowed by the earth.

Dorothy Matley lived in Ashover during the 17th century. By all accounts she was known as a local character, friends and neighbours found her good company but she had a roguish side to her. 
She had an unusual job for a women, she worked at the local mine with her tub and sieve separating ore and breaking it with a hammer, before then separating other minerals like lead, calcite and fluorspar. This job was normally reserved for men and is maybe where Dorothy picked up her foul mouth and thieving ways. 
Apparently if Dorothy was caught pilfering from pockets, as she sometimes did she would use the same expression " I would make god the earth swallow me up if it be so!" 
This would be her protest to any accusation that was sent her way when things went missing.
On March 23rd 1660, she may have regretted uttering those words.
For whilst Dorothy was busy at the mine washing ore, a young lad working not far from her removed his trousers so not to get them wet whilst he worked. The young man accused her of stealing two penny's from his trousers after he returned to them to find them missing. 
Dorothy vehemently denied having anything to do the youths money, and as usual invited god to swallow her into the earth if she was telling a lie. 
As a local writer John Bunyan later recorded, "she also used the same wicked words other times that day..." 
As the argument between her and the youth carried on and voices were raised a local man, George Hodgkinson stopped with some local children to spectate. As they stood the two children started to feel uneasy and walked away from the scene, and as the remaining crowed looked on Dorothy started to scream. She began to spin and sink into the ground along with her tub and sieve at her feet. Hodgkinson stared frozen to the spot at the chaos in front of him as Dorothy disappeared into the ground sinking ever further. Her lifeless body was dragged from a 12 ft deep pit later that day, but her tub and sieve were never found. But in her pocket was found two Pennie pieces.
In the Ashover parish register their is an entry " 1660. Dorothy Matley, supposed wife of Jon Flint of this parish, foreswore herselfe ,whereupon the ground opened and she sank on March 23rd, and being found dead, was buried on March 25th" 
Reports of sinkholes have been in the news lately, along with reports of flooding in areas of the uk. Was Dorothy victim of a sink hole, part of and unstable 17th century mining operation? Or excess underground water making the ground unstable. Strange the earth picked the very person to tempt it so, by swallowing her up. 

Where did my interest come from?


People ask me ( as well as my husband) what is so interesting about horror, death,spirits, ghost, paranormal and general macabre? I tried to go back in my mind to a point where it all might have began. Recently, my memory came back with an answer. I think I was nine years old, and one day whilst walking to school I saw a dead man, the sheet had half blown of his corpse at the crime scene, he’d been stabbed right across the road from my school. I stood and stared for a moment. But after my mind processed what I actually saw. It was, to me, a shell without something important…something that makes us living people…us. I think that’s when I bought my first book on the paranormal. ( luckily not a bible) it gave many theories from many cultures and times. It intrigued me how so many people had a belief of what happens to a person. 
After that poor man died, some mums at the school gates muttered things about still seeing him wander the grass verge. That just piqued my interest more! What did they mean they saw him?.. And so my curiosity continues to this day. I’ve met witches,mediums,believers in search of why people think they see things. I’ve had my own experiences which I’ve analysed as sensory deprivation….possibly. I have friends that are desperate to see ghosts! Friends that think they have a spirit guide. I’ve had 3 separate accounts of a small white haired old lady following me, may be Emma, my grandmother. Again I may have saw her once, but it was my wedding night, and I was missing her very much at that time, wishful thinking?? 
My search continues, and I quite enjoy doing it. Any feed back or articles etc would be welcome

The Winnats Pickaxe Murder pt:2


Before long the 5 men could hear the sound of horses coming up the pass.
For Clara this setting was too similar to her dreams and she started to panic, re-assured by Allan they rode on until they were ambushed by the miners and taken to a abandoned barn. Allan handed over all the money they had saved, which amounted to £200. The miners looked on pitilessly as the couple begged for their lives. Then Allan, consumed with rage confronted the miners and started to beat them with his fists, seconds later the miners had slaughtered him with their pickaxes. Clara let out an uncontrollable scream, the last sound she would ever make as she too was murdered by the savage miners. After much debate the heartless miners buried the bodies and split the money, releasing the horses onto the moore. 
The miners may have been free of legal justice, but not free of from natural justice. John Bradshaw, was walking near the scene of the kidnap in the pass when a rock fell and crushed hid skull. Thomas Hall, became depressed and hung himself. Nicholas Cook fell from a high path near the pass and was killed. Francis Butler died a miserable death after 4 failed attempts to take his own life. James Ashton though out living the other cursed miners, found every business venture failed, and it is said every horse he bought died, on his death bed he confessed to his horrendous crimes. 
In the 1760’s miners were digging a new shaft in the pass when they discovered 2 skeletons, the remains of the young couple, that would spend the rest of eternity in the Derbyshire hills on Winnats pass.


The Winnats Pickaxe Murder


In the 18th century the Peak Forest was Derbyshire’s “Gretna Green”, where any couple might marry immediately, at any time of the day, without any interference from the authorities. In April 1758 one young couple,desperate to marry,despite their families’ objections, came to Derbyshire to fulfill their dream. Unfortunately it turned into their worst nightmare.
The young couple were Alan and Clara, whose last names were never known. Their courtship was fraught was problems. Clara’s family were totally Appleseed to the relationship and so the couple only met at night when Allan would slip out to be at his lovers side, but where on occasion Clara’s brother would catch him and threaten him never to come back.
Eventually the couple decided that enough was enough and Allan plucked up the courage to ask the father for his daughters hand in marriage. The angry father as predicted answered “No!” 
This only left the couple with one option to stay together, to elope. At an arranged day and time they stole away across the border to Derbyshire, making their journey as meandering as possible so not to be tracked down. 
The couple eventually stopped in Stoney Middleton on a public house called “The Royal Oak” . They chose such a place to keep their anonymity. The landlady brought the couple drinks, while they ate their food they had packed in their saddle bags. Whilst eating Clara had admitted she had been troubled by terrible dreams of her love Allan being murdered in front of her, and that she awoke in a cold sweat. Allan reassured her that they must continue their journey, and that she needn’t worry.
By the time they reached the Castleton inn they were hungry and tired, it was the last stop before they could finally reach the peak forest were they were to be married.
Whilst enjoying their rest a group of drunken miners started arguing and shouting and were forcibly removed by the landlord. The miners ,meanwhile, still seething from being ejected, soon started talk of the nervous young couple sat across from them and the obvious air of reasonable wealth they had. Talk soon turned to robbing the young couple. 
Taking a pick axe ,the 5 miners waited in the entrance to Winnatts pass …..

Daft Sammy of Derbyshire


Samual Eyre lived near Castleton in 1806. At an early age he went onto the lead mining industry like most local boys did, but it turned out this job wasn’t for him. His real love was the Castleton area, wether it was mines, caverns or beauty spots he loved to ramble the area.
Sam would regularly way lay strangers in order to extol the virtues of this wonder part of Derbyshire. He would share information about particular beauty spots to visit and even tit bits of local gossip and stories of times past.
Although Sam became known as “Daft Sammy” throughout the peak as time passed he was not a foolish person and became a clever business man. He soon realised that with his intimate knowledge of the Castleton area he could make money doing what he enjoyed best, and it certainly made a change from working in the lead mines.
Sammy soon became official tour guide, but he never asked his clients directly for money, he had such an enchanting way of story telling that he often received tips in his pocket and a round of applause. 
On the odd occasion when taking clients to his his favourite place which was peveril castle, his mother would tag along and heckle for laughs, he would comment that if they could spare some change for the wild old lady he would be grateful. 
However to some residence of Castleton he was becoming a nuisance over time,Sammy loved his food and realised having little money would call upon his neighbours to feed him if he gave them a song. His singing was so bad that thy would feed him just to save their ears! 
In his later years he could still be seen helping attractive rich traveling ladies with their traveling luggage up over Mam Tor slopes with a windsom grin and compliments he would earn a few Pennie’s. 
Daft Sammy died in Chapel-en-le-frith workhouse in January 1868 aged 61. He had been there for just a month after being no longer able to support himself. The people of Castleton with fond memories of dear Daft Sammy, raised enough money to erect a gravestone in the church yard.
Sacred to the memory os Samual Eyre known by the name Sammy Scutt or Daft Sammy. He supported himself in life as the the acting guide of Castleton.
….and the first know tour guide in England. 
Reminds me of someone….hmmmmmm

A Quote I live by.

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance" 
- Albert Einstein .
So next time I get a funny look or a snort from someone who thinks I have a silly pastime hunting ghosts, remember, who is the ignorant one? 
I'm only asking questions, not condemning someone's views or beliefs until I know the facts. 

Sensory deprivation 2

So, if this guy in his solitary cell is almost driven to madness by his deprivation of light and sound, can this be manipulated on a smaller scale to, for example, a seance type setting? 


It has always been believed that spirits are more likely to speak to us during night time hours, and in darkness. I've been told by many mediums different reasons for this. For example, the spirit realm opens up during the night or that spirits have more energy to commune with us after daylight has drained from the sky's. But does this go back to the Victorian times, when mediums would hold large seances and were paid by the rich people of society to contact loved ones? I think they were a little more savy than we give them credit for...

Sensory deprivation

I've read a few online medical papers and articles on this issue, as on a smaller scale I myself have observed in the many visits to underground tunnels and dark buildings the effects of sensory deprivation. I'm interested in the connection it may have with people who like myself go on ghost hunts and vigils as to how much this contributes to seeing things whilst immersed in this environment. As well as how this contributes as well as enhances a "paranormal" experience.


I found this video helpful in explaining how sensory deprivation works.
Also the gentleman who was kept in solitary confinement was clearly still quite upset about his experiences. 

Rosalia Lombardo, the most beautiful mummy in the world.

Rosalia died at the age of 2 from pneumonia, her father, a wealthy business man had her put in a glass coffin and mummified as was the tradition in Italy at the time. A video camera was left over night next to her coffin, which is now on show in a chapel, and this is what they found....

Links and pics of Newsham Park

http://projectnewshampark.org/joomla/historyoforph
For more info on the history behind Newsham Park orphanage. 

Newsham Park Orphanage, Liverpool.

Possibly the spookiest place I've visited yet along with some friends, Newsham park is THE place for fans,skeptic's and believers alike to really test their nerves! 
The building was originally built to house the orphans of Liverpool seamen and was established in 1873 and was officially opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1874. The benefactors looked after their hundreds of charges as well as any Victorian home would,with a stern hand and plenty of hard and fast rules, they even raised funds for a swimming baths to be built in 1900 to teach the children to swim, a benefit that their fathers never had. The building saw years of prosperity and kind donations by many visitors and was even evacuated in1939 for 3 years to safe guard against the eventual blitz of all the major cities and ports in the uk. Fast forward to 1950, and sadly the orphanage was forced to close as the welfare system was seeing children cared for within their own communities and parents were able to manage a family on a small donation for food. It was however a chance to then reopen the building for a short period as a mental hospital and until the late 80's it stayed that way. Sadly the beautiful building is now falling into disrepair, but is still drawing interest thanks to Simply Paranormal, with whom I booked my evening with. 
Other paranormal groups visit too, but is mostly private groups only. Torches were a must for our evening as their was no electricity and only one working toilet. We were told a few stories about tormented spirits and a lonely 5 yr old child wandering the hallways. Personally I just found the place amazing to walk around! It's such an enormous building with typicle  high Victorian ceilings and old fashioned decor. 
The grounds were very extensive boasting a chapel,baths,college block and housing for Staff as well as kitchens and a laundry room. I much appreciated the time after our seances and Ouija Board sessions to wander the building and take photos whilst absorbing the very still and cold atmosphere of the place. We got chance to spend some time with their medium too, and as we visited the chapel I must admit even for a skeptic I really felt like something did not want us there. A few of our group even refused to enter certain rooms. We all got a little spooked as ,whilst our medium was attempting to call the spirit of a middle aged gentlemen that has apparently been seen wandering the place, we heard footsteps and creaking on the old wooden stair case. It felt pretty intimidating in their, and we all soon left after uttering a prayer. 
It was an amazing visit and I certainly recommend it to anyone. Although I will warn you, the price is around £65 but you do get a full evening ( 8pm-4am) complete with free hot drinks,soup and snacks as well as guided tours and a chance to use paranormal investigative equipment. I was also pleasantly surprised to see EMF monitors, movement sensors and EVP's being used as well as the good old fashioned Ouija Boards. I think it gives a chance to really ask the question we all crave to know the answer to, is their something on the other side?

Dark spectres?



 Flecky sent me these photos of a ghostly shadow and a dark figure lurking at the end of a tunnel where a women was said to have committed suicide. 

Mystery figure?


Flecky beckons us!



Halloween special ghost walk

Halloween above and below, with Flecky Bennet and Jonathan Schofield 
Their is nothing better if you are like me than to do some sort of spooky activity on Halloween night, and this one was no exception!
This wasn’t the normal ghost walk that I have written about in the past, this is a very special event held by two of the best tour guides in Manchester, with a more comprehensive slant on guiding you through the city.
We all met in St Anne’s square for our 9pm slot with Jonathan to kick of on a very factual and atmospheric tour of the grounds near by St Anne’s church. We learnt about the many thousands buried beneath our feet in the cholera pits and also the grisly details of be headings of traitors to the royal crown with a dash of romantic tragedy of the fatal death of two quarrelling lovers. 
Next we were left in the hands of our spooky host Flecky beckoning us into the dark depths of the tunnels below Manchester to hear tails of the infamous John Dee and the many souls that were kept in the make shift morgues during World War Two. As well as a seance for good measure.
The two guides give a fantastic over view of Manchesters spooky history that is fun as well as not for the faint hearted at times, but non the less well worth the money to experience as a new way to look at such a fascinating and old city. 
Their new ghost tour will run through out November and Xmas too, so watch out for bookings on the web site Manchesterghostwalk.co.uk or Jonathanschofieldtuors.com
I’m beginning to realise just literally how many layers Manchester really does have!

Inside the basements at rycroft hall

Rycroft Hall continued..

Rycroft hall through the ages

Rycroft Hall Haunting's


A little while ago I bumped into a family friend in Manchester, we got chatting online and I was invited to an all night ghost hunt (8:30pm-4:00am) at Ryecroft in Audenshaw not far from Manchester and on the outskirts of Aston-Under Lyne. Rycroft Hall has been many things over the years not to mention a Red Cross hospital during the First World War, housing sick, injured and shell shocked troupes. The building dates back to 1849 and has many ghost stories and sightings of janitors, nurses and lost soldiers patrolling the corridors and steps. The areas in the cellar were commandeered for military use also and one large storage area was turned into a morgue. Our evening ghost hunt began with everyone splitting into groups of 4-6 people and being taken to use the usual tools of the trade ( Ouija boards etc) in different rooms all over the house. One of the very top rooms we were introduced by our team leader (from Simply Paranormal) to the human pendulum. Basically your body replaces the swinging chrystal. We established once a volunteer was found that tipping back was a “Yes”and forward was “No”. After a few questions we found that the female spirit was still looking for her husband who seemed to have died here after suffering shell shock. It was a pretty sad story , children were also contacted, I failed to establish if these were children of families of the wounded or did the building used to house orphans? I do have a contact that remembers the place during the 1940’s so I may conduct an interview and find out. After we were allowed to roam free through the house supplied with not only Ouija boards but also EMF readers (to my delight) we had a vigil in the the cellar/Morgue. This was a pretty unsettling place and once we spent nearly an hour down there, sensory deprivation, I think, got the better of me and I saw some strange figures in silhouette and a figure in a white coat. My imagination and possibly the power of suggestion brought on by our trusty medium maybe? Some moving shadows and strange blue lights were harder to explain and some of us were haveing strange sensory experiences and smell’s as well as feeling sick! ( I was one such person :( 
Overall the evening was very interesting as well as fun to get to catch up with old and new friends. Simply Paranormal were well equipped as not only in supplying old and new ( more scientific) tools for investigations but also plenty of snacks and drinks which were free to all involved. 
The staff were friendly and helpful and I only experienced what I would describe as hoaxing once, this was also mentioned by my friend as to lifting arms slowly up into the air during a seance. I’m not positive about this, but it’s a sceptics view and the whole reason I do this is to find out how these investigations work as well as how certain influences on your mind and body can maybe make us see or experience things just based on putting us in the right atmosphere . 
I do not mock peoples beliefs as I have as much knowledge of the after life as anyone does, I just find it prudent to gather information before coming to a conclusion.
And let’s be honest! It’s an intriguing mystery! And much more fun than sitting on your backside in your cosy home watching “Most Haunted” :) 
Look out for some spooky photos and my next ghost hunting adventure coming up soon on Hallowen night itself!

Ordsall Hall Ghost Hunt


The Ghost Hunt seems to be a very fashionable thing in our modern age, made popular by TV programmes such as Most Haunted and movies like Paranormal Activity. 
When I first arrived for my pre booked ghost hunt at Ordsall Hall in Salford I was first taken aback by the beauty of this old house, slap bang in the middle of modern Salford Quays with its shopping centres theatres and bars. 
A dwelling of some shape or form has been on this sight for over 800 years, the building is a hotch porch of Tudor and Victorian architecture and as you arrive you can see the front ,brick part of the house that is Victorian. But on exploring further to the rear entrance of the building you can see the Tudor side of the house with its wooden black and white panels and wattle and dawb walls. 
On entering through the reception and gift shop area with its educational posters all directed at the younger tourist, I was met by some large and very heavy looking Tudor doors to a large hall, The Great Hall.
Here we were all seated and introduced to the team. Health and safety was read out, then we all split into groups,A,B and C. This was done for convenience as well as being able for everyone to have chance to take part in all the activities on offer that night (33 people turned up that evening) 
My group (C) were introduced to the equipment we were using that evening,personally I was disappointed to find we were only using a Ouija board, divining rods and table tipping for our ghost hunt that evening. Most people enjoyed using these traditional tools but spending more time researching this field I was expecting more of a scientific approach mixed in using EMF meters,ghost boxes and EVP recorders. I did have to remind my self though that this is not a professional investigation and is designed to introduce people with a passing interest to a atmospheric evening with the spirits. 
Once we were passed on the the next activity in the very large Tudor kitchen. We were treated to a very active spirit of a 4-6 year old girl who had died when she fell down a well that was set into the floor of the kitchen, now covered by a large piece of glass so people could view the terrifying 16 foot drop below. We had a table tipping session but alas no joy until a small twist control torch was left on a table. The small female spirit seemed to enjoy playing with it very much, switching it on and off when asked to and sometimes just illuminating it when not asked as well.
The evening consisted of vigils, seances and time to ourselves to explore alone or in groups around the many rooms in the building. I personally experienced very little activity and less luck on the Ouija as well. With the exception of a very disrespectful group of younger participants that found it funny to sabotage a few sessions and leaving a few of our other group members a little disillusioned and angry at their lack of respect for everyone around them. 
Being a skeptic and chatting to other people attending that night emphasised how much self awareness and respect you must use at these events. Two ladies I met were devoted believers,another lady claimed to be psychic, other couples had purely come for a spooky fun evening. I stayed completely impartial and kept my debunking thoughts to myself as I was fascinated by the diversity of belief systems people displayed .The team handled all of the human and spiritual activity very calmly and with full appreciation of everyone’s needs. The teen group were swiftly spoken to and soon left of their own accord once they realised they weren’t getting the rise from people that they wanted. 
After a smaller group of us affected by this incident were apologised to, we were taken to a attic room for a final table tipping session with a female team member who considered this her forte. It was nearly 3:30 in the morning and it had been a absorbing evening.
Two issues I had with our session, Our team member leading the session expressed that she felt bad at the lack of spiritual activity for us that evening which reflected in the table tipping performance as a few of the members of our group freely mentioned to me that they felt her pushing the table, influencing the movements according to the requests we were making to the spirits that may have been present. 
Secondly I felt these actions weren’t needed as we would have been satisfied with the evening as it was, and only confirmed to some of our group of her disbelief of the paranormal and the credibility of the, what I perceived as misdirected good intentions of the team member. Apart from these events the team were fantastic, warm and approachable, an enjoyable evening I would do again….. For more research and spooky happenings.

Spooky new adventures with Flecky Bennet


7th of September! It’s here finally! 
After a long working week I’ve been looking forward to a good laugh and to immerse myself in the world of the paranormal.
Flecky’s new tunnel tour is in a new area near St Anne’s Church in Manchester. It’s part Victorian cellar, place of a suicide, and part crypt where dead bodies were stored during the 2nd world war.
I entered expecting a cold damp environment, it was very the opposite. Very warm and humid! Underneath the now designer clothes shops in Deansgate, 4 layers into the ground! 
It almost felt clostrophobic when the lights went out and we started to call the spirits forth.
Orbs where witnessed and regular spirits haunting the dark tunnels replied to Flecky’s calls of their names. It was certainly a active area to be in and very beautiful Victorian architecture of arched entry ways, of which I’ve sketched an area of and was very excited to finally be able to walk the floors of.
Cold drafts were felt and investigations were fruitful, Flecky certainly gives a subtle balance between his unique brand of comedy and calming everyone for a real life converse with the spirits.
His command of his audience is effortless and everyone left feeling happy, curious?, and like they’d never forget their visit to Flecky’s underworld! 
….and more weary of the rat people!!!!!!
 More fun is to come on Flecky’s Halloween haunted adventure, October 31st, see Flecky’s website for details, tickets selling fast!!!

A spooky tour of Manchester

A spooky tour of Manchester.
Do you enjoy a good ghost story?
A lot of us do! 
So why not find someone who can tell that story in such a way,that it will almost seem like the ghosts are there playing out the scene for you! 
I recently had the pleasure of finding such a person. Flecky Bennett! With his red eyes and snarling grin as well as his strange dress sense ,he engaged our group with his unique story telling abilities.
His ghost walks either take you around the streets of Manchester or on a dark and cold underground tour of the now abandoned air raid shelters and subterranean canals of the city. 
You can book, your tour found on his website where you can also find all you need to know regarding footwear (sensible,flat,don’t mind getting them wet) torches for the underground experience and all the health and safety do’s and dont’s so to avoid you ending up with your creepy tour guide giving you mouth to mouth resuscitation! (Haha)
I’ve been on both walks, but if I had to choose it would be the tunnel tour. With its dark tunnels and spacious arch ways it certainly creates a dark and foreboding place for ghosts to roam. His calls to the spirits sometimes create some strange results and his seance is very chilling to experience. With a helping of Flecky’s sense of dark humour thrown into the mix you’ll be fully engaged in his world. 
If you prefer something less dark and terrifying though, the street walk is perfect for taking in Manchesters architecture, local haunted sites and forgotten walk ways. You’ll even find out where the dead centre of Manchester is and what it has to do with a headless dog! (Even though the tunnel tour has changed it’s location it’s still a must for those with nerves of steel!)
A skeptic though I am I still enjoyed the sensation of feeling slightly scared of the unknown and also intrigued by some of the stranger knocking sounds Flecky’s spirit friends were supposedly? making for us. It’s such an enduring mystery as to what’s on the other side, I couldn’t help but be intrigued.

My new blog

My blog
I’ve kind of set up this blog for the fun of it, and also to tell you about experiences I’ve had this year with paranormal groups and walks. It spiked my curiosity when I booked one on the off chance for a bit of fun and I now have a genuine curiosity in the subject. It’s definitely out of curiosity and scepticism, but I find it fun being spooked out and also fascinated by the historical places you get access too. You’ll see what I mean once I start typing about my adventures……maybe I should have called this, My Spooky Adventures……
Ps, I will be copying some older articles across in the next few days so bare with me x
