The Old Nick Theatre - October 2011

 

Our investigation on Saturday the 8th of October, at the old nick in Gainsborough. We started the night with a tour of the theatre so the guests could find out about the building, ‘the old nick’ used to be a police station with a court room and down stairs is were the cells were for the prisoners. There is a male side and the female side, on the female there is also a exercise yard.  Jane our medium started the night with a guided mediation to let spirits through and to protect the guests.

 
Location; Auditorium
Martin, Trev, myself and Jane;
Laser, crystal, singing bowl and the k2 meter.
Our first investigation of the night we were in the theatre hall were it use to be the court room. One of the guests Jo, who is also a medium, straight away was picking up on a male wearing wire glasses with a cane and his name sounds like ' Al ' who was not very happy, at the same time the guests are starting to feel very cold. While we was observing the guests while they did a séance, Trev was sat next to Jane when he heard breathing coming from behind Jane, at that point she did feel very cold. The guests were still feeling cold spots, the crystal on the table is starting to move and we heard a tap on a chair from the other side of the auditorium. Very spooky! Jo, was now picking up on a girl called ' Sarah ' we asked jo if he had a last name and he got ' Wharton ' jo said that Sarah is stood near the judge, the crystal was still moving on the table. Martin was having chest pains and the guests heard a female wining in the auditorium. At this point of the investigation I went next door to take notes with the other guests.
 
Location; Judge Room
Andy, Adam;
Laser, crystals, compass, planchette, k2 meter.
Andy and Adam took the guests into the judges room, where they had a range of different equipment, the guests were on the planchette. which was moving as they got a female through. Andy asked the spirit if it could move the k2 or ball, the female spirit was moving the planchette towards the k2 and the ball to move them off the table. The temperature fluctuated, while the guests were on the planchette and Andy was asking questions the k2 meter suddenly moved on its own. A female spirit they got through was from the cells, the spirit was in the cells for theft but wrongly accused, there was also a lot of tapping on the table too. At this point we decided to swap rooms with the guests and it also gave me time to take more notes of what I missed in the auditorium.
 
Trev and Martin
Location; Auditorium
A guest had the back of her chair kicked. A little girl called ' Sarah 'and a little boy called ' Alex ' dressed in Victorian clothes came through, they also got a women through who died in child birth which we believe to be Sarah's mum, there was also big taps on the table. So onto our second investigation of the night.
 
Jane, Martin, Trev, and myself
Location; Judges Room
Planchette, crystals, k2 meter, laser

Straight away the planchette started moving as we had a female spirit. Jo was also picking up on a female in a purple/pink dress who worked and died there, Jo asked this female spirit if she was connected to a man called ‘Robert’ both artists who met in the theatre. We are now getting taps on the table and taps from the corner of the room, the guests have just asked how many spirits are with us and we have 2 female spirits. While the guests are asking questions, Trev one of our investigators, has just had the feeling of someone blowing on his neck. I took a step back at this point. Back on the table the quests have got a little boy throw called ' jack ' he is 13 years old and was tapping for the guests, 2 taps for yes, and 1 tap for no. The planchette was still moving on the table which allowed a relative of one of the guests to come through, her granddad who liked a drop of whisky! While the guest was talking to her granddad the planchette started to vibrate which all the guests picked up on, there was lots of tapping too. The guest’s granddads wife has just come through at the same time, which made the air very cold, we were also getting taps on the walls. The guests asked the spirit to move the planchette around the table to see how many spirits were there, the result was 10 spirits. So after a short period we all went for a break before we headed of to our next location.
 
Location; Male Cells ( cell 2)
Andy, Adam, myself and Jane
k2 meter, spirit board
Our third investigation in the male cells, there is 2 male cells so first of we went into cell 2 and Martin and Trev went into cell 1. Straight away the spirit board is rocking slowly before anyone asked anything. Jane our medium had her gadget (which spirits feed in random words) it has just said ' expect glass off ' the spirit is rocking the table again. Jane's gadget has just said ' choke ' the k2 meter is going mad and the table continues to rock when the glass is placed onto it. Andy placed the glass back onto the table and it began rocking again the spirit seems not to like the glass, at the same time the k2 is going really mad we are getting lots of lights on them, because the spirit is answering ands questions throw the k2 meter by lighting up. Andy has just asked the spirit if he will move the glass to were he has just placed the k2 meter on the table the spirit seemed a bit confused. The glass is moving to the letters ' k 1 5 e ' one of the guests went out of the cell to check his flight number as it had the same letters and numbers that the spirit had just spelt out, the guest wondered if this was a warning message. The spirit did not want to really talk to us just show us lots of lights and moving the glass in a square and rectangle shape on the table. Andy asked if the spirit wanted to play with a soft toy, the spirit has just responded by through the k2 meter, so Andy placed a ball on the table but the spirit didn't want to move the ball for us instead he moved the lights on the k2 meter. We then decided to go into cell 1 as Martin and Trev’s group was in cell 2 but the spirit that came through to them took them for a walk.
In cell 1 our the k2 meter is lighting up and the glass is moving slowly on the table it has moved to the letter ' c ' we have got a male spirit through.  Andy asked the spirit his name, the spirit has just spelt out ' c I r h d d ', Jane is picking up on a man having stomach problems, born ' 1929 '  he was from Gainsborough he use to work in the police station and he is 77 yrs now, the glass on the spirit board is moving fast and the k2 meter is also lighting up with the glass  moving from side to side and up and down. We heard a noise that sounded like paint being picked of the cell wall, Andy asked the spirits name and the spirit has just spelt out ' f k ' 'f k I l ' ' g f f ' this spirit we had through is thought to be from the fire and police museum in Sheffield. Andy has asked him how he got here? two of the guests attending work at the fire and police museum and he got there by following them. The spirit doesn't  like Martin and he has just spelt ' k I l l ' Martin has just entered the cell and asked the spirit if he remembers when he pushed the table into him? which he said yes. Jane has just asked him how many spirits are in the fire and police museum and he said 9. Andy has just asked him how many spirits there is inside the theatre and he said that there is 4 spirits in the building. After a while we had another break and it gave me the opportunity to see what happened with Martin and Trev.
 
Location; cell 1
Trev, martin
table, k2 meter
Martin and Trev's group got a male prisoner throw called James who had killed a female prisoner in the exercise yard. James moved the table from the cell to the exercise yard to show them were he had killed the female, the female got sent to prison for a crime she did not do. Another female came through in the female cells who cut her wrist's while trev and martins group were communicating through table the cell door slammed shut on them at the same time the k2 meter was going mad. One of the guests in martins group had a sharp pain in her side as throw someone had pushed her.
 
After our break we all went upstairs as one big group for our forth investigation.
 
Location; costume room
Martin, Andy, Adam, myself, trev
K2 meter, table
We had just been in the costume room for a few minutes when I felt someone flick the back of my neck, we are getting little taps on the table we have got a spirit through who was wanting Martin to wear a dress!!! It was moving the table to the dresses it wants martin to wear, so martin did!!! The table has moved towards the door and the spirit is trying to lift the table out of the costume room into the hall way. We are hearing a lot of tapping coming from the hall way. Andy was asking the spirit if it wants to play with a soft toy or a teddy the spirit is answering by tapping on the table and by moving it, the spirit keeps moving the table towards the hall way so we decided to move it into the hall way, at this point Andy is almost certain that he has just seen a dress on the floor in the other room which is not there now so Andy asked the spirit if it was them and it replied ‘yes’ by tapping on the table. We have had a lot of taps and what sounded like foot steps on the hall way to the costume room. After about 45 minutes we decided to go back down stairs into the auditorium.  
 
Location; Auditorium
Trev, Martin, Andy, Jane, Adam and myself
Table, k2 meter, crystal.
On our last investigation we are getting lots of tapping on the table and it is moving. Andy has just placed the ball on to the table and the spirit is trying to get the ball off the table by tipping the table to get the ball off. We are getting lots of taps as the spirit doesnt like the k2 meter on the table, Jane asked the spirit to move the lights on the k2 meter. Andy heard a scratch sound. At this point it was time to go home so Jane thanked all the guests for coming and Jane closed everyone down. All the guests really did enjoy the event and found it a very interesting investigation.
 
*A quick note to all the guests that came tonight myself and Jane had a little debrief with the tour guide and I found out some really interesting information for you it turns out that Sarah Watson is very well known to the building and that the Watson were mill owners and that they were very high ranking in Gainsborough. Jake comes and goes all the time and is all so very well known and a lot of the finding from tonight investigations are all down on records.
