Most Haunted Rumours

Posted by admin as Most Haunted News

There are a lot of rumours flying about relating to Most Haunted and Antix Productions being in trouble, a Most Haunted move to channel 5 etc.

 In response to this and the emails I am receiving I must say at the moment I have seen NO facts, we are all aware from Yvettes statement there are plans for something new, and many articles are flying about including one in the DAILY STAR on the 7th July 2010 covering possible negotiations with Channel 5.

See http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/121100/Channel-hop-star-to-move-the-ghoul-posts/

The UnExplained Channel & Monster Pictures Limited

 I can confirm that MONSTER PICTURES LIMITED, the company registered to the same offices as Antix and used to form the PARANORMAL CHANNEL (Which later changed it’s name to THE UNEXPLAINED CHANNEL.)  had its Registered Office transferred over to Lines Henry Limited, an insolvency practice, on the 8th July 2010. Please note this is a SEPERATE company to Antix Productions Limited and the other companies also registered to the same address.

This follows the Unexplained Channel’s EPG slot on Sky Digital being purchased by Information TV Limited, who on 21 April 2010 moved Showcase to channel 201 and launched Showcase 2 on channel 216.

If I have any more FACTS we will publish them.

All the best

Paranormal Activity 2 : Movie

Posted by admin as Paranormal News

The first teaser trailer for the sequel to last October’s surprise low-budget blockbuster, Paranormal Activity, was released at screenings of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Shot in a similar style, this footage features the same security camera footage catching spooky images when no one is looking.

The budget is bigger this go-round since the original film, which cost only $15,000 to make, earned $193 million worldwide.

The storyline for the follow-up remains a secret and this eerie one-minute trailer gives no specific information about the plot of this supernatural tale. It shows objects moving on their own, a vanishing babe, and flying body. Apparently actors who originally played the haunted couple, Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, will return.

Complaints that the Paranormal Activity 2 trailer is too scary for young kids prompted the Cinemark theater chain in Texas to pull it, according to trade publication Variety. Some have suggested there are hidden voices and imagery. No doubt, this has increased views of the trailer online.

Supposedly tremendous word-of-mouth on the internet triggered the campaign, demanding that the first Paranormal Activity open in cities throughout the US, when it was originally scheduled for a select release.

The sequel hits North American theaters on October 22, 2010.

Most Haunted Live Halloween 2010

Posted by admin as Most Haunted News

Yvette Fielding has confirmed that Most Haunted Live! will return in the UK for their annual Halloween Investigation in October 2010. Although a statement made by Fielding on 25th June 2010, via her website ANTIX Productions, revealed that she has stepped down as presenter on the show and has decided that it is time for her to leave which therefore makes it unclear as to whether she will make her final appearance on the Halloween Live or whether she really has left for good.

THE VENUE: Morecambe’s infamous Winter Gardens Theatre

HISTORY OF THE WINTER GARDENS THEATRE
The land that the Morecambe Winter Gardens theatre we see today was once occupied by salt water swimming baths, which were surrounded by the gardens from which the name is derived. The original facilities included 3 plunge baths, 24 private baths and 2 medicated baths and soon afterwards an entertainment complex was added. In 1896 it was announced that a new theatre was to be built.
Morcambe Winter Gardens was originally built in1897 as an extension to the first Winter Gardens building (now demolished) and was first named The Oriental Ballroom & The Victoria Pavillion theatre. It is a Grade II listed building.
The 1940’s saw what many believe to be the Golden Years of the theatre’s history, with many top acts such as Laurel and Hardy, George Formby and Billy Cotton.
The last performance to be staged by this magnificent theatre took place at the end of the 1970’s after which Morcambe Winter Gardens closed its doors for the final time.
In 2006 the building was purchased by The Friends Of Winter Gardens charity and formed The Winter Gardens Preservation Trust Ltd, who now owns the theatre and currenty oversees the restoration.
Among the present patrons to the Winter Gardens are actor Paul Nicholas and comedian Ken Dodd.

The ‘Most Haunted’ team investigated the building over two nights for series 10.

GOOD SIDE – BAD SIDE
Rumour has it that the theatre has two sides to it which governs the ghostly activity; a good side and a bad side.
Will we find evidence for this on our investigation?

GHOSTS & HAUNTINGS
Morecambe Winter Gardens has seen many a face come and go throughout its history, and it appears that some of those associated with the building have not quite gone altogether. There are numerous reports of strange incidents happening at what is reputedly one of the most haunted buildings within Lancashire.

PHANTOM FOOTSTEPS
The sounds of phantom footsteps have been heard by staff and workers alike at the building, coming from areas where there is nobody present.

UNEXPLAINED NOISES
Unexplained bangs and knocks have been heard throughout the building, and upon inspection no cause could ever be found.

PHYSICAL CONTACT
There have been reports that workers, staff and visitors to the building have been touched and pushed by unseen spectral hands.

POLTERGEIST ACTIVITY
Poltergeist activity would appear to be rife at the Morecambe Winter Gardens theatre – is this perhaps the bad side of the ghosts, or merely a playful spirit?

THE HAUNTED STAIRCASE
The spirit of a woman has been picked up on the main staircase. It is thought that during an argument with her partner she either fell or was pushed down the stairs where she died.

THE SINGING GHOST
During a visit to the Winter Gardens by the ‘Most Haunted’ team the sound of a woman singing was heard, as well as that of what could only be described as a growling dog.

PREVIOUS DHN VISITS
During our previous visit to the Winter Gardens Theatre, several people witnessed unexplained figures, as well as light anomalies. Noises were also heard.

OTHER REPORTED INCIDENTS:
Strange smells
Strange light anomlies
Feelings of being watched
Cold spots

Maesmawr Hall

Posted by admin as 14: Season Fourteen

The area around Maesmawr was occupied during Roman times. Due to its location near the banks of the River Severn, the Romans built a road through the area. A Welsh Long House was once located in the grounds. A listed building, it was built in the Tudor style in 1535. In the early 19th century it became a notable sporting estate for shooting game.  In the 1870s it was known to have been owned by John Pryce Davies and was owned for many years by his family, the Davies sisters in the 1900s. In August 2008 the hall was purchased by Nigel Humphryson.

Today the hall is used as a hotel with 18 bedrooms and is often hired for wedding receptions, proms and social evenings. The original rooms from the 1535 building have the original beams and uneven floors. In the Victorian period a wing was added to the hall; those rooms are larger and brighter

An old Roman road passed through the grounds of the hall and people have reported seeing Roman legionnaires.  One report was of a businessman staying at the manor who was previously a sceptic of ghosts and when staying there one night reported that when he looked out of the window he could see a road disappearing under the building with a Roman legion marching along.

Manor groundsMid Wales Paranormal (MWP) investigated at the hall and reported that, “There were light orbs and anomalies at the hall, and while investigating in a room upstairs, there was movement and the floor actually moved.”  Sightings of an Elizabethan housekeeper have been seen going through the wall in the panelled hallway and the ghost of a wicked man named Robin Drwg is said to haunt the woods on the grounds who assumes the form of a bull. A man and his dog and a servant are said to appear in the cellar and the Davies sisters who ran the hall in the 1900s have also been reported as being seen.

Nigel Humphryson, the owner since 2008, has not reported having seen anything. However, he has confessed to hearing voices and banging which he could not account for.

News Article from Country Times

MAESMAWR Hall Hotel is set to feature in the next season of Living TV’s Most Haunted.

The ghost hunting crew from the popular series visited Maesmawr, near Caersws, last week to film for the show – following up on the County Times own ghost hunt last year.

The hotel was featured in the County Times last October when deputy editor Mark Lingard and photographer Rob Davies joined forces with Newtown Paranormal to investigate the legend of Maesmawr ghosts.

Living TV has now visited the hotel to conduct its own investigation and has confirmed the show will form part of its series 14 and will most likely be televised next year.

The hotel has been on the site since the 1600s, a location which previously housed a Welsh Long House and a Roman road and fort. Legend has it that Maesmawr was inhabited by a ghost called ‘Robin Drwg’ (Wicked Robin) who was said to assume the form of a bull.

He was eventually overcome by the united efforts of seven parsons and laid in Llyn Tarw (the Bull’s Pool).

The County Times’ own investigation found several strange goings on, such as a skeletal hand caught on camera, a black mist hanging above a chair in one room and most inexplicably Mark Lingard witnessed the figure of a lady walking in the grounds.
Maesmawr Hall’s owner, Nigel Humphryson, revealed the Living TV’s crew, including Yvette Fielding and a medium, took over the hotel for three days to complete the filming.

Although unable to reveal details about the team’s findings, Nigel did confirm that they held a seance and had found some “interesting things”.

He said: “I think it all went really quite well, most of the filming is done without any of us around so we didn’t actually get to see what they found. From what I can gather it went really very well. They held a seance and picked up on a number of things.”
Nigel said there had been a number of incidents at the hotel since he took over in August last year.

He said: “Since we have been here there have been some strange happenings.

“One businessman came down in the morning to check out and said he wasn’t into ghosts and ghouls but had been woken up in the night by the sound of steps outside.

” He said that when he looked out of the window he could see a road disappearing under the building with a Roman legion marching along!”

Nigel said he has not seen any ghosts but had encountered strange happenings: “I’ve just heard voices and noises, banging doors and stuff like that, I haven’t seen anything.”

Verdley Woods Fernhurst

Posted by admin as 14: Season Fourteen

Fernhurst is a large village on the A286, Haslemere to Midhurst road, in West Sussex, but close to the Surrey border, and includes the settlements of Bell Vale, Kingsley Green and Henley Common.

Although an active village with a modern outlook, Fernhurst is steeped in history, beginning life as a small scattered settlement in Saxon times.
Once called Farnhurst, the name is derived from the Anglo Saxon – “fern covered hill”. The village is surrounded by hills, including, to the northeast, Blackdown, at 919ft, the highest hill in Sussex.

Verdley Woods

The legendary ghost of the last bear to be killed in England is said to haunt Verdley Woods just south of Fernhurst. An Australian television crew went in search of the spectral animal but were unable to find it.

Just to the south of the estate, in ‘Fordly Coppice’, is the site of Verdley Castle, dating from the 13th century.

Brinkburn Priory Rothbury, Northumberland

Posted by admin as Most Haunted News

Brinkburn Priory is set on the banks of the River Coquet a few miles east of Rothbury. It was built within a wooded loop of the river and is reached by a steady descent from the car park just off the Rothbury road. This Augustian Priory was founded in the 1130’s by a community of cannons and the earliest surviving buildings date from the late 12th century. It was never very wealthy and one of the first monasteries to be closed in the Dissolution of 1536. After the dissolution the priory church was used as a parish church and part of monastic buildings were converted to a manor house. Over the centuries to condition of the buildings deteriorated but what remained was faithfully restored in the 19th century and the site is now under the management of English Heritage who will maintain this wonderful piece of medieval architecture.

Carlisle Castle Cumbria

Posted by admin as 14: Season Fourteen

Carlisle Castle is located in Cumbria in Northwest England, not too far from the border with Scotland. As such, it has a long violent history and has changed hands between the English and the Scottish many times through the years.

The castle has also been used as a prison and barracks for the military, its most famous prisoner being Mary, Queen of Scots in 1568. The military still use the castle today as headquarters to a Royal Regiment. There also remains a Scottish resident from long ago in the keep.

As Richard Jones tells the story…

“In the 1830’s during the construction of a parade ground and barracks, demolition work uncovered the skeleton of a lady bricked into one of the keep’s second-story walls. Three rings upon the boney digits of her fingers and remnants of her silk, tartan dress were evident. There were no clues to her identity, although there was considerable speculation that she may have been walled up alive. The opening of her tomb, however, appears to have roused her revenant, for in 1842 a sentry on guard duty in the keep challenged the figure of a woman who approached him in the early hours of one morning. As she ignored him, he shouted to rouse his fellow guardsmen. Then, raising his bayonet, he charged at the figure. Just as he reached her, the woman simply melted into thin air, whereupon the soldier fainted clean away. Although his comrades did manage to revive him, such was the shock to his system that, having told them what had happened, he promptly fell back and died.”

This ghost story was taken from the book “Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland” by Richard Jones.

Kiplin Hall Yorkshire

Posted by admin as 14: Season Fourteen

Kiplin Hall is a Jacobean historic house at Kiplin in North Yorkshire, England, that is now a Grade I listed building. It stands by the River Swale in the Vale of Mowbray. The nearest villages are Scorton, Great Langton and Bolton-on-Swale. Much of the local landscape has been extensively quarried for sand and gravel extraction.

The house was built in the 1620s for George Calvert, Secretary of state to James I, who later became first Lord Baltimore and founder of Maryland, USA.

Ghostly goings-on at the hall are reported to include footsteps and sobbing in a drawing room, a Victorian woman seen on a staircase and a 1940s airman spotted in a kitchen. Many visitors and volunteers have also smelled pipe smoke in an old kitchen and a hint of cologne has been detected in another drawing room. Orbs have appeared in photos.

A permanent exhibition charts the founding of Maryland by George Calvert and the lives of the families that have lived in Kiplin Hall through the centuries.
