Investigation Report
The investigation began at approx 2300 on Saturday 12th March 2011 at the Boston Gliderdrome.
The investigation started with the medium walk with our Medium, Lisa Bryan.
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 in the new area of the Boston Gliderdrome that the team didn't investigate the last time we were there, in this storage area Lisa picked up on a male character that seemed to roam the whole building, at the time no name had been given but this male wanted us back in the main building, so we went back into the Gliderdrome.
We went straight into the bingo hall, this part of the building dates back to the 1930's when it was used as an outdoor skating rink which was then enclosed during World War 2. In here Lisa picked up on this male character again, the name Thomas came up, Thomas doesn't like the way the Gliderdrome is now, he doesn't seem to like the way it looks now and wants it back to how it used to be, whilst Lisa was picking up Thomas, loud bangs seemed to start in the bingo hall, at times they were so loud that it interrupted Lisa's flow. Lisa then picked up on a much stronger male in the Starlight Lounge, so we went next door to where Thomas had moved to, he kept saying how much he hated the changes to the Gliderdrome, but as Lisa said this a bang came from the corner room of the Starlight Lounge, we went to where it came from and it was in the room known as Wardrobe, in here Lisa picked up on numerous ladies who were getting dressed up for a show, these ladies seemed to date back to World War times, Lisa stated that theses ladies were putting shows on for the many troops that flocked to the Gliderdrome. A few moments later Thomas was making himself known to Lisa, Lisa had told us that he was a very strong spirit.
We moved to the balcony of the Starlight Lounge, Lisa picked up on a drunk male, who was abusive to women and was very drunk, this male in the day would have come to the Gliderdrome just to drink, and he would have been removed for his conduct, apart from this nothing else was picked up, we moved downstairs to the bar and corridor.
In the bar and corridor another male was being picked up, he was that stubborn he wouldn't even give Lisa his name, but the description of this guy was picked up, he seemed to be wearing a grey suit and may have been part of the management team of the Gliderdrome when it was built the first time round. Another room that leads off the corridor towards the bar was visited and this male in the grey suit had moved there, he was still very stubborn and wouldn't give up his name, however Lisa had mentioned that this male would be a pusher and if anyone had gone down to that area of the Gliderdrome he would push them or at least make himself known in a physical way, this ended the medium walk.
With all this in mind we decided to start the vigils.
The group split into 3 teams. The teams consisted of the following 13 Paranormal Team Members and Guests.
Team 1 - Dean Grant, Debbie Wilkinson and Steph Watson.
Team 2 - Nicola Horton, Steve Virgo, Richard Virgo and Kerry Hancox.
Team 3 - Lisa Bryan, Jason Bond and Anita Rayner.
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 new area, the storage area. We started to call out and we did get a few noises but we are unsure if it was natural or not, this was as there is a lot of items in this area that could've caused some of the noises. However not deterred we carried on, we did feel as if their was children in this area so we carried out a small experiment, we found a football so we were asking the spirits to either throw it or roll it back to us, this seemed to be unsuccessful however whenever we asked the spirits to roll it back, Debbie kept smelling a curry smell, but it would just be a quick whiff, so as we are all locals to the area we knew that there were no fast food restaurants nearby that could've caused the smell, when suggested that it may be a fast food restaurant Debbie was very adamant that the smell wasn't a fast food smell but something else. During this vigil many cold blasts of air were felt, although I'm sceptical that this wasn't just wind from outside coming in, but these blasts of air seemed to come from just one side, and when we asked them to do something else the blast of air would come from a different side, what do you think?
This finished this vigil.
The 2nd Vigil was held in the bingo hall, in here we all felt fine, so we took our seats and started to call out, and almost instantly the loud bangs started to happen again in response to our questions, at times we all saw small lights moving around the room, plus at one stage a strange dragging sound which seemed to come from the centre of the room. We tried a few experiments which included using the bingo boards, we called out numbers from the bingo board and we heard what sounded like the bingo board clickers were being moved, and this came from all around us, earlier before we began the medium walk we shut all the bingo boards so no numbers were on show, after this vigil we did go round and look at all the boards and we did find the numbers that were called out were on show clearly on certain boards, and as we were the only physical people in the bingo hall we asked ourselves, who slid the clickers over to reveal the numbers?
We finished this vigil and went straight into the next.
The 3rd vigil was held in the Starlight Lounge, as soon as we walked in, Steph felt very uncomfortable, and I am not going to deny that I was a little nervous as well, because I was. In here we started by picking up a ping pong ball and asking the spirits to throw it back, this didn't happen, although during the night these balls had been moved a few times, and as I knew where the team was at the time of these balls being moved I knew it wasn't the team. We went up to the balcony to where the drunk male had been picked up, we called out and got nothing, we spent considerable time here and it was very quiet, we then moved downstairs to the wardrobe, corridor and bar area's, in the bar and corridor a very strong negative feeling overwhelmed us, but again it seemed very quiet, it was quite disappointing when the other groups had got something but for us we got nothing apart from me and Steph being nervous.
The 4th and final vigil was a mass vigil using a Ouija board in the bingo hall, this seemed to be the most active area, some of the team sat around the Ouija board and began using the board, this unfortunately didn't move at all, however very loud bangs when Debbie called out were received, these bangs at times were as if they were coming from above us, after 45 minutes using the board and nothing moving on it we called it a night, but it was afterwards I was told of a strange experience that had happened to one group earlier in the night in the Starlight Lounge, I was told that during Team 2's vigil in the Starlight Lounge that when they were calling out they noticed up on the balcony a male figure in white walking on the balcony from left to right, this was confirmed as not the team or guests, all were accounted for, so the 13 Paranormal team have experienced their first full bodied apparition sighting, all the team are looking forward to going back again, and we are going to focus more time in the Starlight Lounge and we are going to try more numerous experiments.
The Boston Gliderdrome is a very interesting location and one never to be missed!
We will be making a return visit to the Boston Gliderdrome at the end of October ready for Halloween.
