Derby Gaol 07-10-2005
For the (K)nights of Fear this was a particularly strange night as it was the first time we would have the opportunity to have the Gaols resident Medium on duty as well as ourselves. Patricia (The Medium) gave the group, who mainly hailed from Nottinghamshire an introduction to dowsing using both pendulums and dowsing rods before conducting a séance in each of the two cells.
Pat of course was a tough act to follow and as the group had already participated in a couple of séances we decided to continue the night’s events with a bit of glass divination. After a little bit of coaxing we managed to attract a little bit movement from the glass but all in all it seemed quite sedate. However we did seem to contact one of the guest’s grandfathers who came through to say hello and that he was watching over his grandmother. We followed with an attempt at table tipping in the museum with no success and then a spirit board which seemed to confuse the spirits trying to make contact as although the planchette moved it was only slightly and very slowly. Then we held a séance of our own in the Debtors Cell, and although there was a little activity once again the spirits seemed rather subdued, however there was a lot of hilarity from the guests for unknown reasons.
After the séance we introduced the Rocking Spirit Board, firstly in the museum and then in the main corridor between the bar and the dayroom. In the former location the answers sometimes made sense whilst at others seemed a little confused. However, when the board was moved to the second location three different sets of names and initials were spelt out which something specific to one of the attendees. On this occasion though, it was a message for one of the (K)nights of Fear who happened to be supervising the session whilst not taking an active part.
Before the night’s event was drawn to a close a further séance was held in the Condemned Cell and as in the previous session thinks were remarkably quiet. It seems strange that this night was probably the total opposite of other nights where the best results obtained have been during the séances.

After talking to a few of the lads that joined me on the night - we all agreed that the experience was very enjoyble and indeed very informative.
One or two of the lads that were in attendance had unusual experiences which had an emotional effect on them to say the least.
The video footage that Antony took hasn't been watched yet so it may well show up a few surprises yet...
I thought the spiritual wheel that was brought out for us to try was the most rewarding in contacting spirits - eleanor, who was Izzy anyway?
To sum up the night,a perfect mixture of serious attempts at trying to experience the paranormal and hilarity combined.
Thanks to the team,Paul,Eleanor,Pat and not forgetting Chris-aka Jim Broadbent!
Great night thanks.
P.S you could do with some snacks for the early hours.
