Duxford Imperial War Museum

In December 2003 we were invited to do a vigil, with another major ghost investigation group, in Duxford Imperial War Museum. The group went to Cambridge, early Saturday morning, and took a tour around the air museum to try to get a feel for the buildings and the surrounding area. John was trying to see if he could pick up on any spirits that might of been about the buildings. After the tour we went to a friends house to prepare for the vigil ahead.
(GET PLENTY OF SLEEP).

The Vigil started at around 9:30PM in the control tower,
where we were concentrating the vigil on.

Their were 4 members of staff with us this night to watch over us as we did the vigil, but we got them involved in what was going on. The night started with complete silence, we had two members on the bottom floor of the control tower and the other members on the first floor. We had our camcorders recording anything that might and did happen.

Things were going a little slow, so we gathered all our members to the first floor to try to gather all our energy in one place. We placed a motion detector on the stair's leading to the first floor. All was going well for an hour or so, we were getting many orbs on our camcorders, using Night Shot, Then at about 2:00am one of our members thought they heard something coming from behind the door leading from the stair case.  As the member opened the door something set the motion detector off, and our member saw an apparition, stood right in front of her nose!

This was also witnessed by another member.  The member who opened the door... well lets say panicked and slammed the door on whatever was standing there.  Our member starting saying "Those f***ing security guards have just scared the S**T out of me" (Sorry about the language but it show's how scared she really was) thinking that the person who she was confronted with was a security guard playing around, as we were getting bother from them that night.

We investigated, after calming down our member (mentioning no names), what it was.  We radioed through to the security desk and they swore blind they had not left their station for an hour or so, and also the downstairs door was locked from the inside.

After our member had calmed down she started to remember things about what had just happed, as she accepted that she had panicked at the time. She remembers standing their face to face with this apparition, which she thinks was wearing a kind of flight suit.  The vigil carried on through the night, John started to pick things up about going's on of the control tower and people who had passed through there during the war, and who never came back.

We finished the vigil at around 5am after a very active night
and hope to go back their again soon.

 

All of the photos were taken off camcorder.

The member who took this photo, heard somebody on the stairs. Is there someone on the stairs? There was a lot of banging going on when the camcorder picked this up.

Because the image is not that clear,
it may be a spirit.
