A group of 12 of us descended on the Museum on Saturday. We got started at around 9pm by going into the Bond room, this is where they use to unload and load cargo for the ships in the late 1800’s. It didn’t take long before I knew we weren’t alone but the spirit decided to stay quiet and watch what we were doing, most annoying. We moved on through the first floor of the museum and decided to spread out amongst the ground floor. We kept walking as I called out to see if anyone wanted to let us know they were there. Silence!!! But again that feeling that we were being watched was strong. A few people felt touches, just light ones. We went up to the second floor and that’s where some of the fun started. About 4 or 5 of us were walking around a sea equipment display and as we walked down past it, we all looked up as we heard loud creaking above us. We thought it must be the building when we walked down past the display. So we all replayed what we had done and there was no sound above. We then knew this wasn’t the building but something else, as we all felt it sounded like someone was walking on the floor above us.

In a viewing room for the warhine ship wreck, we noticed a wooly hat that someone must of left behind, so it was put on one of the seats and we went off. Kev noticed it later and brought it towards the front of the floor and put it on the seats as you came up the steps. Later when we were in the old harbor board room, one of the staff went to shut the door to the display area and saw the hat by the door. I was surprised as I knew it had been on the seat. So asking everyone, we found no one had shifted the hat. Something or someone had moved the hat right by the door a metre and a half away from where Kev had put it. There was no way it could of fallen there.

On the floor we were on there was a cabin from a ship and most of us went in with a few others and shut the door to see what happened. I went in with Jo and Kaitlin, it wasn’t long before we felt touches, especially Jo. We felt like someone was in there with us.

The Board room is an amazing place. It seems the same way it was when it was used in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. With photos of the men that were on the board on the wall, we did do a darkness session in this room, we heard the odd tap but couldn’t conclude it not being from outside the building or building noise. Many felt touches and some cold spots. Again we did not feel alone.

We did wander around the board room and outside in the main stair well, sitting quietly in different area’s but separated as a group. Two ladies swore they saw a white apparition that looked like a lady going up the steps towards the offices on the next floor up.

We did a table tipping in the room off the board room, as the staff had never felt easy in this room. A few of us felt the same and it was like someone was right there watching us. We got started and the table did a few ripples, a few slightly larger movements but what was going on around the table was better. I experienced a spirit coming up right behind me. I then felt them touch my leg with a very solid movement. I then felt two hands starting from my shoulders running down both my arms. At one stage I felt it lift one of my fingers off the table. Finally I let out a yelp, as it was as someone gave me a karate chop on my arm and it hurt. Others around the table felt touching, cold spots and a couple of them felt like their hands were being lifted off the table. As well as they to felt as spirits were right behind them or coming in between us.

Even though there was not many noises, there was a lot of touches and interaction from the spirits of the Museum. I felt this was an active place and am looking forward to doing another ghost hunt there.

On Saturday 14th Sept approx 10.30 we got started on our ghost hunt in New Plymouth. Sorry still have to keep the location private, so if you think you recognise the place please don't say it on facebook.

There were 12 of us all up. We first did a walk thru on the ground floor.

We started our darkness sessions in our first room. We all not long after turning the lights out felt extreme cold spots. this carried on in all the rooms down stairs. We heard the occasional small noise but nothing we could actually say was a noise from the other side or not. But the cold spots were seriously cold. Kevin checked with our laser thermometer on the area's that we reported colder. In one room the cold spots actually showed the temperature rising. Prior to us going in there the temperture was around 9 to 10 degrees. Now the temperature will go up with people in a room but this was only on small area's that we felt incredible cold. A medium reported seeing a man in white doctors outfit. I saw a nurse in a white uniform carrying a large bowl filled with bloodied water and big sponges. This is the room we photographed some odd dark and white shapes. We then all broke off into small groups downstairs, again we only got very cold spots and yes we checked for drafts.

The day before I visited the place and took some photo's of the outside. I saw a man from the outside, looking from the outside top window. As i moved around the house outside, I saw the man more clearly watching me from the window, I did try and photograph him.

We went upstairs and divided up into the two rooms and three people on the landing. one of the men on the landing, soon had to leave and go into a room. He felt unwanted on the landing. Another of the guys on the landing, laid down and felt someone grab his arm, it gave him a bit of fright. In our room we felt the presence of a man. I asked him questions. There were four of us in the room, all women. I asked if the spirit was a man and right next to one of the ladies we heard a man's voice say strongly "NOPE" we tried to get more from him but he went quiet around the guys. One of the ladies reported seeing a white mist rise up from a old case.

Again some cold spots.

We went downstairs and finished with a table tipping. We had a very heavy wooden table to work with. As we started asking the spirits to move the table, finally we started feeling very small movements but they were definite movements.

Overall I was disappointed at the spirits being quite quiet, until we got the voice of a spirit. This place had many spiritually presences. But they weren't willing to communicate except for our man upstairs. I am still to review the evp recording and hope that it has picked up the NOPE.
