FACTS
tiny

The Tudor House is one of relatively few Southampton buildings which survived the bombs of World War II.

The house, in Bugle Street, is now used as a museum.

EMF meters measure the Electro Magnetic Field. They are used extensively by ghost hunters - and to test microwave ovens.

'Orbs' are seen as balls of light, caught on camera but not normally seen by the naked eye. Many people believe them to be paranormal, but they could be caused by a distortion in the camera lens, or in the sensor of a digital camera.

tiny The Society of paranormal investigators spent one night in Tudor House, one of Southampton’s most Haunted locations.

Staff had told us that there was one room where Dogs refused to enter and another room in which many people, including members of the public, have had paranormal experiences.

The Green Room
The green room is said to be one of the most haunted parts of the building
We began by performing 'base line' tests, taking background readings on our EMF meter. We found no magnetic fluctuations.

The first room we decided to investigate was the green room, on the first floor of the house where apparitions had been seen and Dogs had refused to enter.

Using dowsing rods, it appeared we had contacted a spirit. The spirit indicated that it did not want us in the building and it was at this point that several members saw a dark figure at the other end of the room.

Orb
Orb, caught on camera in the Georgian bedroom
In the upper Georgian room, we caught many orbs on our digital cameras and I felt something touch my head. It was in this room that the EMF reader detected strong magnetic fields. Remember - during the base line tests carried out earlier, no magnetic fluctuations were found.


The most impressive moment of our investigation was when three of us heard footsteps on the floor above us. This was followed by a loud bang. I ran upstairs to find out what it was. As we looked around the house, I felt breathing in my ear but no reason could be found for any of these paranormal events.

The investigation at Tudor House went well and we all felt many paranormal experiences. Admittedly 90% of the experiences could be explained, but 10% could not. It's that 10% you have to worry about!
