SWANSEA MUSEUM 26.05.06
Firstly a huge thanks to Karl who arranged for us to investigate this wonderful
building.
There were enough of us to split into two teams
Both teams started upstairs, Helens team one side of the gallery and Peter’s the other.
I will start of with the notes from Helen’s team.
Cabinet of Curiosity room 9.15pm
Lee picks up on a little girl at the age of ¾ passed over by falling and suffering head injuries. The name
of Sarah Louise is given and the year of 1728 is significant to her. The little girl was with her Aunt and
Uncle on this fateful day. At this point the video camera turns itself off. Marg; is the name of her Aunt
and Edward is the Uncle.
Lee then picks up a male who is tight lipped saying we have his stuff, he is saying we have his coins
and that he worked hard for them. Lee picks up on a caretaker, the year of 1947, he is wearing a flat
cap, slim build 5’9 – 5’10 wearing a cream mac, grey trousers and black shoes. He passed away with
throat cancer at the age of 68.
He has a lot of happy memories; this gentleman is in visitation, a lovely character who says it was a
privilege to work here. His name is David Daniels. When working here he says he had to keep an eye
on other workers as some were untrustworthy.
A cold draught is felt by one of the Helen’s Sarah has popped back to say hello. Sarah is grounded. The
accident happened as she ran around she slipped and hit her head on the steps. A man and a woman
who worked in the museum are the two people the caretaker didn’t trust.
Lee believes that people have felt a tugging on their clothes, possibly more women than men as Sarah
is looking for her mummy who had long dark hair.
Helen feels a cold draught on her right side. She picks up on a man who passed with T.B in 1893.
Archaeology Room 9.50pm
After being in the room for a few minutes the video camera switches itself off again. There is a full
battery and no timer so we have no idea why this is happening.
Lee picks up on a Victorian lady in the room who is attached to objects in the museum that belonged to
her. Her name is Annie Wiltshire.
Helen gets a pain in her chest and feels this lady would have had a problem with her neck and trouble
swallowing. Lee starts to get very breathless; the video camera switches off again. Annie has followed
an object to the museum, Lee feels the object is a statue, which is not from this country. About a foot
high, gold in colour with its eyes closed. Annie says that two of her Great – Uncles were searching for
this object, one passed whilst searching.
One side of the room is warmer than the other, lee Angela, Helen & Helen are much warmer than Karl
and Lindsey who are on the other side. Karl feels a chill on his right hand. Helen feels as if she has
been hit on the head with a metal object.
Egyptian Room 10.15pm
Other than it is colder here nothing else is picked up.
Tea Break 10.30pm
Lecture Room 10.50pm
Lee picks up on a Roman soldier wearing full battle armour and carrying a sword, this is a residual
energy. Helen picks up on a warrior monk.
Peter’s Team notes.
Archaeology Room 9.15pm
Jeannette can hear a mans voice talking, she sees a man in Victorian dress with a handlebar
moustache, about 5’8 – 5’9. She is getting the Doctor and a name which not very clear sounds like
Goff/Gough, he has something to do with the museum, possibly gave them Egyptian items.
Mary is connected to this name as well. The year 1851 is given.
There is a man who is not happy with the changes to the building; Ian confirms that some of the rooms
downstairs have been altered. Charles Edwards is his name, he was a builder / labourer who helped
build the museum.
A lady in crinoline dress walks up the staircase, she tells us that there is more activity downstairs and
to be careful.
Mary Williams and Mary Edwards are two names called out.
A spirit is now in the room that is angry about something. Pete and Jeannette both call out to spirit no
response, they are just watching and waiting. For some reason this spirit just says “I don’t like
Leslie/Lesley” nothing else just that we don’t if this person is male or female.
They don’t like the colour blue… Ian confirms the new rooms downstairs have been painted blue.
Mummy’s Room
Jeannette places her hand on the case covering the Mummy, the name Hori is given, and that a Doctor
gave the mummy to the museum. Residual energy is picked up; whoever was in the Sarcophagus was
someone who attended to others. There should have been something gold entombed with the Mummy,
it has been removed. It is impressed upon Jeannette that all is not what it seems. No spirit is in this
room other than when the room feels really cold it is our friends just passing through. Ian confirms that
the mummy was called Hortem (Hori). Jeannette says the mummy was not royalty but would have
dressed and looked after something. Ian confirms the mummy was not royalty. There should have been
a gold amulet, this is also missing. Passing at the age of 20, killed by a knife.
Ian confirms the mummy was a priest and would have looked after things. He has been at the museum
since 1870.
Jeannette sees materials in purple and gold, and gold arm bands about 6” – 7” in length being worn by
Hori.
Cabinet of Curiosity.
Jan asks Jeannette to stand in front of a particular cabinet, she does and immediately picks up on a
man that would pace back and forth, his hand on his chin, there is something on display that is not
displayed properly. He is also looking for his medal. A Purple Heart. There are medals missing he says.
Lieutenant Colonel Sinclair is the given name, served in World War two. He didn’t like the Yanks!
He is making Jeannette walk back and forth back and forth. Apparently this man has been seen by
visitors pacing back and forth.
He was English London /Kent area given. His relatives donated his belongings to the museum. He was
born in Wales, but as he lived in England that is how he thought of himself…English.
He tells us there is an old Victorian man who stands in the opposite corner and shouts, the name Albert
are given. Albert walks around this room and many people would feel his presence as he follows them.
Jeannette has a thumping headache and a cobweb feeling on her face.
The name Ralph is given…no other information.
A possible vortex in the corner of the room, it is freezing and noted by all in the group. The Victorian
man is also the man in the cellar and he is telling us to get out. Pete and Ian call out as it is felt the
women are not liked. Nothing is forthcoming.
10.30pm coffee break.
Helen walks up the stairs and someone groans in her ear.
Jeannette sees someone walk past the door, but all the investigators are in the room and Helen
catches orbs on camcorder.
Kerry now has a thumping headache.
China Room …..10.50pm
Jeannette gets the name of Mary Edwards, Again sees a Victorian crinoline dress and is drawn to a cup
and saucer in the cabinet, this lady as gentry.
Thomas Edwards (no relation to Mary), a caretaker, employed here and looked after the exhibits. Does
not like women and is swearing at Jeannette, and walking away, this room would have been bigger in
his day. He is quite rough. Jeannette tells him to stop swearing and have some respect, she isn’t
swearing at him so he is not to do it to her. Jeannette tells the group where orbs are and these show
up on camera. He does not like Jeannette and Jan as they are too big! He likes s slim and young girls,
he would have taken them to woods near the museum. These would have been prostitutes.
He passed over 1867 – 24th august and is buried nearby.
People would be touched in this room; he doesn’t like the fingerprints on the glass and cleans the
cabinets. He is grounded and very angry.
He murdered a prostitute who was carrying his child, he was never found out, and he left her body by
the river. The name of either Susan or Suzanne is given. The surname is possibly Johnson aged
17years old when she passed in 1846.
He tells Jeannette that he will only do something if she keeps the public away.
Jeannette is shown different bits of china and told by Elizabeth, Emily and Margaret that these pieces
are theirs.
The two teams join up and go to the Golden Gower Room……. 11.15pm
Jeannette is kicked in the shin by unseen feet and Lindsey picks up a lot of pressure at the front of her
head.
The feeling that lots of men work here. Lee calls out to spirit. Several of the groups here whispering,
apparently this room was the original library.
A séance is performed, Jan feels a rush of cold air go past her and Lee can sense a man watching.
Helen, Jan and Kerry all feel a cold breeze go past but the temperature shows it is warmer!
Pete brings in the doorway portal hoping to increase spirit energy; it is placed in the middle of the
séance circle.
Jeannette picks up on a James who is linked to someone here a message is given to this person.
Jeannette suddenly feels she is shrinking in height down to 4’9, there is no explanation as to why she
should feel this.
Lee picks up on a man dressed as a farmer in the far left hand corner of the room, called Joseph.
Jeannette is suffering from a really bad headache and crushing pains in her chest she decides the best
course of action as spirit don’t wish to take it away from her is to leave the atmosphere. As she goes
Lees asks spirit to remove the conditions and a cold breeze is felt by most of the people in the room.
Lee and Helen see an orb fly across the ceiling.
Jeannette now feels better and enters the room and sits on a chair.
The woman Annie is here, Annie Wiltshire. Someone has just touched Ian. Jeannette is controlling the
spirit by the name of Joseph, he is desperately trying to talk through her but her guides have advised
it not safe to do so, he will not communicate any other way so no more information was forthcoming.
This gentleman passed with a massive heart attack and Lee is touched on the back.
Short coffee break
Cellar………….. 12.20 (Jeannette, Ian, Helen, Jan & Angela)
Before the investigation started Karl showed Lindsey, Helen, and Jan down to the cellar, they were
quite frightened by the presence of a man dressed in black and wearing a black cape, the atmosphere
was apparently quite negative. So with this in mind we were keen to find out who he was.
Caretakers room …. Nothing picked up at all.
Jeannette is sensing a well and water running under the building. Ian confirms that when a high tide
comes in the cellar floor gets wet.
There is a man here, he calls Jeannette a trollop! She sees an orb with her own eyes. This man is
playing games, he gives no information and is keeping 4 strides ahead of us as we try to catch him up
to talk to him. He just disappears. Orbs are caught on camera. A negative energy does not like women.
Guides tell us to be careful, and show us an image of Jack the Ripper and body snatchers. Jeannette
gets the impression of church and we ask him if he was something to do with a church, he doesn’t like
this and a tapping noise is heard and an orb caught on Jeannette. We are told that Karl doesn’t like it
down here so Helen radios upstairs to ask him to come down. He joins us and says he is quite happy in
the cellar which seems odd. He calls out to spirit; the name of Jonathan Farrington /Etherington is
given. (This keeps cropping up in different investigations!)
Helen calls out to Jonathan to come forward and do something to prove he is here. Jan, Helen and
Jeannette suddenly get headaches. Jeannette and Helen can smell a strong flowery perfume. Jan
smells urine where she is standing. Ian can smell something but unable to define what it is. These
smells go as quickly as they arrived.
Jeannette’s left eye is suddenly blurred and feels the caretaker would have had this problem, she is
given an image, the initials are D D there is a Dafydd and also the name of Michael is given. Dafydd is
the caretaker.
Lee is asked to come down to join the group at 1.05am
The temperature drops, everyone feels colder.
The clock starts ticking on its own!!
Lee feels a tickling on his ear, his left ear is now freezing cold and his right one is glowing red.
Lee is told he has links to Jonathan from a past life, in fact Lee ordered his death.
The entire group now join us, but no information is forthcoming so we decide to have a coffee break
and then regroup for glass divination in the cellar.
2am
Karl brings a table down to the cellar and Karl, Angela, Jeannette and Helen get ready to try the glass
out.
A very confusing story then follows; it has nothing to do with the spirits in the museum, but is linked
with past lives of Jeannette and Lee.
We have a male spirit which in a past life was a female, Jeannette was a male in a past life and Lee
female. Jeannette and Lee were lovers, this spirit was killed by the both of them for having affairs. She
was shot. Knocking noise are heard.
The era is 17th century.
The spirit can not forgive Jeannette for taking her life. This spirit was Scottish; he came with Jeannette
tonight and has been around her at home recently. (Peter and Jeannette confirm odd things have been
happening indoors recently).
He is aware of Jeannette’s guides although not Lees and knows he can do nothing to hurt her.
Jeannette and this spirit were married in a past life, they had no children, Jeannette provided well, she
was also well to do and this is why the spirit married her.
There was no love in this relationship and although Jeannette had sired six illegitimate children the
couple had none.
The spirit tells us Jeannette had an accomplice he is here tonight…glass goes to Lee.
Jeannette and Lee were never tried for the murder…they got away with it.
The glass is going very fast around the table the spirit is angry and grounded. This spirit tells Lee he
has been searching for the two of us for all this time, spirit was in her early twenties when she passed.
Spirit will not go to the light.
A male and female spirit joins us and they are related to the first spirit.
Lindsey and Karl are both feeling hot, everyone else is cool. This spirit is causing hassle for Lee as well
at home recently.
Spirit suddenly gets bored of the questions and we think he/she leaves to be replaced by another
male. This spirit goes to Karl, and a strong pipe tobacco is smelt around the table.
Then another male spirit appears and goes to Peter, he says he is a relation. Lee and Jeannette feel
something is not quite right and Lee tells the spirit that by the universal law it can not lie three times
and who was he here for really. The glass shoots of to Jeannette and Lee and Lee confirms it is still the
first spirit playing games.
Lindsey see’s two orange orbs shoot across behind Lee, it is felt it is the two newer spirits leaving.
Lee and Jeannette tell this spirit it can in no way harm them or anyone in this world, they try to get him
to go to the light but he won’t.
Jeannette closes the table down and gives prayer and protection to all.
This was a long night but interesting, and we wish to give our heartfelt thanks to the museum
for allowing us to investigate.
