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.
