We were fascinated by this building last time out, so expectations were high as we made our way back to the museum to hold another vigil, and on the weekend of the anniversary of the outbreak of WWII it was all to play for. Even as the group arrived Lorraine S could feel that lots of lost souls seemed to wandering around the grounds, she felt that it was very busy. We were then met by curator Marc Farrance who gave us a thorough tour and lots of interesting information. He also was kind enough to open certain areas of the grounds that we hadn't seen before. This time around we decided not to set up our main camera equipment but instead went with video cameras or still cameras to save time. After supper and a quick cuppa we conducted the opening prayer, it was during this that Ed felt as if someone was walking around our circle on the outside, Clint D then seemed to struggle to talk, this has yet to be resolved. Soon enough we were underway. Clint D took a group into the main museum building, April took a group into a storage warehouse in the museum grounds and Lorraine S's group went into the derelict office building. In the main museum, there are crossroads that lead into different areas of the museum, particular feelings had been picked up on last time around, so Clint D's group thought this would be a good place to start. A presence of a female was picked up on in this area, and when asked if anyone could make contact a very audible, loud noise was heard. Almost a shuffling noise, everyone present in the group heard this noise. The group made their way down the corridors, no more noises but again female energies were being picked up on. The group in the storage warehouse were in an area that would have once served as temporary living quarters for people serving there. April's group held a vigil in one of these rooms, some light phenomena was witnessed in there as well as some audible noise that put one or two members on edge. Lorraine S's group in the offices felt very uneasy, a few dead pigeons stirred up the atmosphere but one room in particular held some interest, this would be clarified by another group who would later go there.

The vigils on the night were cut to forty minutes, so we could cover more ground. After a quick break, Lorraine S took her group into the museum, April's group took the office building and Clint D's group took the warehouse. The museum seemed to evoke similar feelings, female presences and again auditory phenomena, the group in the offices again experienced feelings of being followed and an irritable atmosphere in one particular room. The group in the warehouse caught a very interesting image by some of the weapons in storage, it seems to be figure shape and after some debunking, we were still stumped as to what we had caught. This did not appear to the naked eye or any other shots caught in that area (See below)

 The group then covered the accommodation area. The small quarters had a very confined oppressive feel to it. Clint D then picked up on the presence of a lady who would have pushed a trolley down the corridor outside the dorms, she would have had something to do with linens, maybe a chamber maid, a big bunch of keys were of some significance to her too. Further research is needed to verify any of this information. After a quick break we switched around so all areas had been covered by all groups. Clint D's group in the offices had a lot of orbs caught on still camera, some could be explained a dust, but some took on strange positions and shapes. Some orbs were captured around Ben and Clint D's head, in several photographs, again these were captured in the same room that had provoked some interest all night. The group in the warehouse and living quarters, didn't really get much apart form some noise and a loud bang that couldn't really be explained. The group in the museum got some noise and again picked up on female energies.

After a break and a chat with Marc we decided to end the night with a séance. At first we decided to start off with hold it in the middle of the crossroads area inside the museum, not much happened apart form a very loud noise emanating from another room in the museum, we couldn't decipher whether Marc had dropped something in the canteen or it had come from another room, the sound was a lot like someone stumbling, falling over and crashing into something. We checked with Marc, it wasn't him. Interesting. After about ten minutes we decided to move the séance into the magazine room, now serving as a theatre and conference hall this eerie room once would have a been a storage room for ammunition and gunpowder hence it's cool temperature. During the séance Lorraine S picked up on a man who would have accidently bled to death in the room, no details have yet emerged to confirm this. Toward the back of the room several members could again see pricks of light phenomena, April then saw some movement on the floor that was quite low down, Adel's body shape then oddly began to somehow change, as if it wasn't her, several members of the group witnessed this, it certainly spooked Adel.

Sadly time was against us after the séance, and it was time to pack up and leave. We certainly enjoyed our return to the museum, and on behalf of SPRG we would like to thank Marc for being so welcoming and for looking after us, we really appreciate it and hope to return soon. As always thank you to whoever came through to us and made contact, we send our love and respect to you. Until next time.
