Investigation Report
The investigation began at approx 2300 on Saturday 6th November 2010 at the Boston Gliderdrome.
The investigation started with the medium walk with our Spiritualist Medium Adrian Fuller, we have now decided to let Adrian guide us to the active areas so as soon as Adrian would be drawn to a particular area we would follow him.
Please note some names have been omitted from this report in case of any living relatives that may still be alive.
The first stop was the bingo hall, in there a selection of spirits were picked up on, the 1st spirit encountered was a lady called Margaret, she was a spirit in visitation. We then got distracted by a married couple, they visited the building when that part of the location used to be the roller disco rink, they enjoyed the place so much that they would come back in visitation, we moved on and Adrian started to pick up on a male spirit called Dennis, he was a mischievous spirit, Adrian had mentioned that he was leaning on the bar and was looking at all of us, he was making it known that he was going to do something for us during the night, but as soon as we started to move to the next area, a lot of banging's and knockings started, we stopped and started to call out and our questions were being answered as soon as we asked them.
We moved onto the next area which was the Starlight Lounge, this area was the concert hall where musicians such as Elton John, Tina Turner, T-Rex and Status Quo have all played in. As we walked around this huge space Adrian's attention was drawn to the dressing room behind the stage, in there a spirit man called Eric who was a negative soul, was telling Adrian that his mum had died there and he had committed suicide soon after, and since then Eric has tried everything in his power to bring down the Gliderdrome and at the end of this part Eric had said he wont move on until he sees the Gliderdrome flattened.
He moved on, we were on the stage and Adrian picked up on a very short/small man wearing a monkey suit, and that he was trying to make us all laugh to lighten up the mood from what we had been told next door in the dressing room.
As we walked around another male spirit was picked up on and he told Adrian that he use to be a stage hand.
Again we moved on and this time we went upstairs to what would have been a balcony, here a female spirit was warning us to be careful because of some of the negative spirits there, as we walked around we encountered another male spirit called Fletcher, he according to Adrian was painting the Gliderdrome when he fell and died later in hospital due to a coma. He had returned to the Gliderdrome but he had no idea how to move over, we as a group had decided that we would help pass Fletcher over during the nights investigation.
We did pass Fletcher over but the details of this will not be disclosed.
We moved onto the corridor where staff feel very uncomfortable, there our friend Eric was present once again, Adrian said that Eric seemed to not like me as he wants the Gliderdrome to fail, but as I had booked the location for this investigation he did not like me for doing it.
With all this in mind it was time to start the vigils.
The group split into 3 teams due to the overall size of the location. The teams consisted of the following 13 Paranormal Team Members and Guests.
Team 1 - Dean Grant and Debbie Wilkinson
Team 2 - Nicola Horton, Steve Virgo, Mandy Hall, Simon Hall, Tina Cheshire and Keith Hoult.
Team 3 - Adrian Fuller, Emilie Kerr, Stephanie Watson, Linda Carse, Conor Carse and Rose Ryan.
Stuart Bend was analyzing the CCTV camera footage throughout the vigils.
Please note for the remainder of this report, it will be about what Team 1 had experienced during the remainder of the nights investigation.
We started the 1st vigil in the corridor which connected the concert hall and the many bars. We went to he bar at the end of the corridor where Eric seemed to roam, we called out and we did not getting many responses, every so often you would get a cold draft around your knees, so we decided to use the Franks Box, this came up with some interesting results, 2 names kept coming through the box they were Steve and Jason.
We moved on to sit in the corridor and again apart from a few drafts it seemed quiet, however we asked if Eric could do something big for us, and we then heard a large bang emanating from the bar that we had just been in, we stayed in the corridor as on my camera a light seemed to flicker, this is still being analyzed. This ended the first vigil.
The 2nd Vigil was held in the bingo hall, which used to be at one stage a roller disco rink, we went to the corner where the married couple were said to be and we already started to hear knockings and what sounded to us as if someone was moving the plastic bingo cards sliders, it was very distinctive and we did go and check the noise out and it seemed to be that. We started to call out and there was a huge bang coming from the other corner of the room, we likened this noise to as if someone had banged their fists on the tables, we called out again and the noise was heard again, this happened at least 5 times during this vigil, as we moved around the room and sat down in the corner where the noises happened we heard what sounded like footsteps. During this vigil we did hear a lot of noises in response to questions being asked and when we asked the spirits to make the noises louder they did, some were that loud they made me and Debbie jump, this vigil then ended.
Our 3rd and final vigil was held in the Starlight Lounge (concert hall), there we carried out some glass divination, this started down on the concert halls floor, where the glass did move very slowly but would gradually get stronger with the more questions we asked the spirits, during the glass work here we did seem to contact a lady, who was in her 50's and had worked at the Gliderdrome as a bar lady at one of the 5 bars there. We started hearing loud noises emanating from the observation areas, so we decided to go up and investigate and also try to do some more glass work, but the glass wasn't very active at this point, we gave this some time but still the glass wouldn't move so we decided to call it a night, but as soon as we started to leave a very big bang was heard which startled us all, so because of this we went over to that area and the glass moved almost instantly as soon as we put it down. We connected with a lady that unfortunatly we couldn't get a name from but she was telling us no end of information, and it turned out that the lady controlling the glass was Eric's mum who would come back to the Gliderdrome just to get Eric to go to the other side with her, but even she couldn't get him to go, we did ask some questions that did become personal and because of that this information will not be disclosed in the report. As the night did come to an end we asked the lady to stop the glass so we could go but she wouldn't, every time we asked her to stop the glass and we began to close it down she would start the glass up again, it seemed she didn't want us to go but wanted to tell us some more information.
The Boston Gliderdrome is a very interesting location and we are very privileged to have investigated there.
Due to the amount of activity at the Boston Gliderdrome we want to make a return visit but due to circumstances with the building going up for sale we may not be able to do this, but we will try our best and hopefully get some more activity that we can report on.
The investigation finished at 0530 on Sunday 7th November 2010.
In all, the investigation was a success, certain areas were more active than others but this is expected in all locations that are investigated.
Team Managers Note - Please note that all footage, audio clips and photos taken on all investigations are always thoroughly analysed for evidence and because of this it is an on-going process. Any evidence that we find will be displayed on the website once we are satisfied of its authenticity.
