Galleries of Justice 31^st October 2009 

There was a larger group of people in attendance for this halloween event at the Galleries of Justice. The walkabout concentrated on the larger areas to accommodate the large group.

Location                      Spirit/Ghost

Foyer                         The now familiar energy of a woman standing to the area

                                    of the top of the stairs (please refer to early reports for a

                                    fuller description of this woman)

                                    The residual energy of a man who from his attire led me to

                                    place him from around 1906-08. He was a small man, attired

                                    in a dark coloured suit. His hair was light grey in colour,

                                    rounded facial features and brown eyes. He came across as

                                    being quite “bah humbug” in his personality. A member of

                                    the group volunteered to stand here and reported feeling

                                    a little odd as if depressed and annoyed.

                                    Another familiar energy was that of a police man attired in

                                    a policeman’s uniform. He was a very tall man, large rounded

                                    facial features and his uniform had white and black flashes

                                    at the cuffs. A volunteer stood in this energy felt being very

                                    heavy through his legs and all down his left hand side.

                                    The last visage was also residual in nature and included one

                                    man being led towards the main entrance doorway flanked by

                                    four other men. He was in a simple garb whilst his guards were

                                    attired in blue uniforms of an older style. I was aware of the

                                    fact that people would have been hanged outside the main

                                    doorway, and felt his was a reply of such an event.

Main court                We came into the court and settled around to see what may

                                    occur. After first outlined the various lights and such which

                                    are always present in the area and can thus be ruled out as

                                    being connected to anything paranormal.

                                    The first energy was again the familiar residual energy of an

                                    elderly woman who I was seeing stood in the area of the dock.

                                    (for a fuller description of this woman, please refer to earlier

                                    Reports)

                                    The next energy was to the far right hand side of the courtroom

                                    and was what you may expect from a court room. He was

                                    attired in the manner of a barrister and to me was taking notes

                                    to the area of the judge’s seat, hence I thought him to have been

                                    a clerk of the court.

                                    We were then joined by the spirit energy of a smartly attired

                                    man by the name of George, who I was seeing standing in the

                                    upper balcony area, above the juror’s seats. He mentioned the

                                    date of August 17^th 1911 as an important case tried within the

                                    courtroom. I encouraged the group to interact with him in order

                                    that some paranormal activity may take place. There was an

                                    audible sound which came from the area in which George was

                                    stood, and heard by the entire group. As such we applauded

                                    George for his efforts in the hope that he would once more

                                    try to indicate his presence to us all. One of the female

                                    members of the group asked if anything could happen and

                                    were possibly given a second noise, which could have been

                                    attributed to a member of the group, though no one could

                                    say if it was indeed a group member.

Lower corridor         We came to stand in the corridor along the area of the

                                    burning woman exhibit. There was the spirit energy of a

                                    young man attired in a grey garb, who told me that he

                                    was a plain clothes police man. He gave me his name

                                    as Albert and was of the Edwardian period. He looked

                                    about 24 years of age, light brown hair, and was quite

                                    eager to please, in respect to climbing the ladder of

                                    his career.

                                    A volunteer came to stand in the area of the metal gate

                                    where I was aware of the residual energy of a woman

                                    attired in a black coloured dress of a heavy looking

                                    material. Her hair was dark was quite dark in colour

                                    high cheek bones, brown eyes and a stern countenance.

                                    One of the female members of the group reported feeling

                                    very sick, almost to the point of actually being so, however

                                    upon being moved from the area, this feeling quickly

                                    subsided. A second woman had to sit down as she felt

                                    very dizzy, and likened it to have been swung around

                                    this too dissipated upon leaving the area.

                                    The very audible sound of a gate squeaking was heard

                                    by all present, John my fellow colleague went to

                                    investigate along with three or four members of the group.

                                    It was that loud that the sound was picked up on my

                                    dictaphone. The restaurant nearby was ruled out as a

                                    possible cause and upon our later tour to the area of the

                                    hanging room, the black gate in this corridor was deemed

                                    to have been the cause.

Transportation        We came into the long corridor to see what if any activity

                                    may be present. A couple of the male members of the group

                                    were reporting feeling a little sick.

                                    There was the spirit energy of a man who gave me his

                                    surname as Anderson. By his attire I thought him to have

                                    been from around the early 1730’s. As I was informing the

                                    group of what I was seeing, one of the male members of the

                                    group reported having the back of his neck touched, and that

                                    the name of John came to his mind, hence we called the

                                    spirit energy John Anderson. He was attired in the manner of

                                    a sailor. He mentioned people being whipped if they were

                                    not moving quick enough or would beat people for the sake of

                                    it.

                                    A number of people in the area of this man were feeling a little

                                    clammy and seemingly on edge.

                                    A female member of the group was physically touched on her

                                    arm which caused some distress to her, at this point we decided

                                    to move further into the building.

Hanging room          We came into this area for the first of the vigils throughout the

                                    evening. The group had been divided into a smaller group in

                                    order to allow for a more personal experience. There were a

                                    couple of energies in the room with us, and I encouraged the

                                    group to interact as best they could. One of the group, a very

                                    tall woman reported being touched on the top of her head

                                    whilst a couple of men were touched on their shoulders.

                                    The light level in the room, bearing in mind that the walls

                                    are painted in a shade of white, became so dark at one point

                                    that you could not see the person stood opposite you, this

                                    was despite the light infiltrating through the two open

                                    doorways.

                                    We moved into the corridor outside the night cell were one

                                    of the group volunteered to stand on their own. This person

                                    underwent an unusual experience, as he reported “it was as

                                    if someone was holding my wrist and moving my hand

                                    up and away from my body”. The remainder of the group

                                    were mesmerised by this occurrence as the man in question

                                    seemed to have no control of the movement of his right

                                    arm.

                                    In a second vigil in this area, once again the light conditions

                                    seemed to darken quite rapidly. There was some interaction

                                    from the spirit of a large built woman who was stood to the

                                    area of the cell nearby to the bed. She wore a dress of a heavy

                                    looking material and a red/purple coloured shawl across her

                                    shoulders. Her facial features were rounded, he grin was

                                    etched all over her face, her smile though nice was filled with

                                    missing teeth. One of the female members of the group tried to

                                    interact with this woman though to no avail. I asked one of the

                                    male members of the group to try. There was interaction with

                                    this woman (spirit) and the man. The woman informed me that

                                    the man had a dental appointment coming up this week and that

                                    he had “chickened” out on a body piercing. He had indeed a

                                    dental appointment coming up, though he stated that he had

                                    changed his mind over his body piercing, namely his tongue

                                    because he thought it would cause damage to the back of his

                                    teeth. Upon him finishing stating this, there was such a loud

                                    bang as to make people jump. This sounded very much like a

                                    large wooden door being slammed shut. I took some volunteers

                                    with me in order to discover where the noise came from. The

                                    doors to the end of the corridor leading to the courtyard was

                                    deemed to far away. The large doors leading to the stairs to the

                                    upper floors did not make enough noise, and the adjoining cell

                                    doors made squeaking noises so as to rule them out also.

The galleries was once more an active location and the group were in the most part open and interactive throughout the event. I would thus like to say a big thank you to all in attendance and to my fellow colleague John.

If anyone in attendance on the night would like to share their own experience, please email me and I will include your comments into the report.
