The
Lord Nelson Pub, Kingskerswell
Dates Investigated: February 12th,
2007 and February 26th, 2007
Every
village has a local pub, and Kingskerswell, in Devon,
is no exception. With a history that dates back over 150
years the building has seen quite a bit of history during
its time and the workers there have many tales of supernatural
occurances and sightings. What did Hidden Realms discover
during their investigation there? Click on the photo to
find out.

The BOADs Rehearsal
Hall, Brixham
Date Investigated: March 5th, 2007
Although
this small building is now currently owned by BOADs
(Brixham Operatic And Dramatics Society) for their rehearsals,
the building dates back much earlier, and history for
it can be found as far back at the beginning of the
1900's. A very interesting little place to investigate
with many stories to be told within its walls.

Lupton House,
Churston
Dates Investigated: March 28th, 2007
and April 3rd, 15th and 21st, 2007
On
March 12th, 2005 Lupton House became well-known after
it was used for an investigation by the Most Haunted
crew during their Most Haunted Live weekend down in
Brixham. Lupton House is an abandoned Georgian mansion
hidden deep within the fields outside Brixham that has
stood empty since 2002, and since Most Haunted no other
paranormal group to our knowledge have been allowed
to conduct an investigation there. Until now...
With a colourful history
of over 230 years and an absolutely huge internal structure
of winding passageways, long corridors and a deep, stone
cellar it seemed only inevitable that something would
be captured during our overnight stay at Lupton House...

The George Inn,
Blackawton
Date Investigated: June 12th, 2007

St. Clether's
Holy Chapel
Date investigated:
July 10th, 2007
Hidden
deeply away in the tiny Cornish village of St. Clether
stands one of the largest holy wells in the county.
During it's lifespan of over half a millenium (which
has seen disrepair and full restoration twice) it must
have seen so much history, so much emotion, so many
stories.
Set in a beautiful area
of totally unspoiled scenary, Hidden Realms spent some
time at both the chapel and in the grounds of the nearby
church. What was caught? Read the report...

The Spanish Barn,
Torquay
Date Investigated:
28th August, 2007
With
a history dating back nearly a thousand years, Torre
Abbey and the Spanish Barn have seen almost a millennia
of history - the barn in particular witnessing death
and imprisonment. Built way back in 1196, what secrets
would it offer when Hidden Realms spent the night there?
A fruitful investigation!

The Cottage Hotel,
Brixham
Date Investigated:

Reportedly
standing for over 300 years, The Cottage Hotel stands
ominiously at the bottom of Windmill Hill looking out
over the town. Hidden Realms were given the opportunity
to be the first and last invstigative group to be allowed
in to this
wonderful building as it is about to undergo extensive
rebuilding.
Stories
have been reported, but will Hidden Realms pick up on
anything during our time there?

The
Palace Theatre, Paignton
Investigated:
20th October, 2007
On
the 20th October, 2007 the Palace Theatre in Paignton
opened it's doors to welcome Hidden Realms for their first
'Haunted Heritage Night of Fright' - an open investigation
for all to join to raise money for the 'Friends of Palace
Theatre' charity. From 9.30pm right on until 6am the whole
night was there to see if anything spooky would be experienced
in one of Torbay's oldest theatres! |
The
ABC / Reel Cinema, Plymouth
Date Investigated: 17th November, 2007
After
a fire at the old Theatre Royal in the late 1930's,
the ABC / Reel Cinema was born. Since then it has lived
on and, today, is one of Plymouths oldest buildings.
What will happen when Hidden Realms spends the night
in this amazing building...?

Oldway Mansion
Investigated: 8th December, 2007
Oldway Mansion is one of the few 'hidden delights' tucked
away on the outskirts of Paignton. Built in 1875 it
was the original home of the Singer family who made
their name and fortune in sewing machines. The history
that this building has seen is immense in its relatively
short life, from lost love to wartime hospital.
Hidden Realms were honoured
to be able to host our second 'Haunted Heritage Night
of Fright' at this fabulous building and what we all
lacked in time there we more than made up for in activity.
Trigger objects moving, sensations, sounds, and the
coin incident!

Churston Woods
Investigated: 27th February, 2008
Dating back over 400 years, Churston Woods must have
seen a lot of life as Torbay developed around it. Past
tales of strange creatures and an unwelcome visitor
making his presence known during an overnight camping
at nearby Seven Quarries told us that there was something
down in those woods that could give us a big surprise.
If we met it, however, was a different story.

Totnes Museum
Investigated: 12th April, 2008
With
a history over nearly half a millenium, Totnes Museum
is one of the finest Elizabethan buildings still standing
today. With a varied history and a lot of stories to
tell, Hidden Realms were honoured to have been given
the chance to spend some time in this charming place
to see if any residents from the past wanted to make
their presence known.

Slapton Sands
Investigated: April 28th, 2008
Shortly
after midnight on 28 April 1944, nine German torpedo
boats moved into Lyme Bay, along the southern coast
of England at Slapton Sands. Drawn in by heavier than
normal radio traffic, they suddenly found themselves
caught up in the midst of Operation Tiger- one of several
amphibious exercises secretly being conducted by the
Allies in preparation for the Normandy Landing. In minutes
the German torpedoes hit their mark. One LST (landing
ship, tank) was seriously crippled. Another burst into
flames trapping many of the victims below deck and a
third sank immediately, sending hundreds of U.S. soldiers
and sailors to a watery grave. It was the costliest
training exercise in all of World War II. As the bodies
washed ashore in days ahead, the official count rose
to 749. Would Hidden Realms encounter anything on the
anniversary of this tragedy?

Jay's
Grave
Investigated:
May 25th, 2008
Jay's
Grave is probably Dartmoors most interesting legend.
It has it all - an unfortunate story, a tragic death
and a legend of haunting. Following the extremely positive
experience of a past investigation there by a friend
of the group, Chris and Mike decided to venture up there
on their next endeavour to see if anything similar would
occur...

The
Ring o'Bells Pub
Investigated: 27th May, 2008
On
the upper part of Dartmoor is a small village named
Chagford, a charming village but not without its spooky
tales. The Ring o'Bells Pub has its fair share of paranormal
tales from poltergeists to the 'presense' in one of
the bedrooms. What story would be unwoven during the
group's night in the building, and what exactly did
Mike capture on his audio recorder...?

Richhill
Castle
Investigatied: 17th July, 2008
Hidden Realms were lucky enough to be able to join the
Northern Ireland Paranormal Society (NIPS) to investigate
this fine building in Northern Ireland. Built in 1664
is it thought that the building was the first house
in Ulster not designed for defensive purposes. What
would happen as we explored this wonderful location...?

Totnes
Guildhall
Investigated: 22nd
July, 2008
Hidden
away just off from the main street of Totnes lies the
Guild Hall. Originally a Priory, the current building
is the second Guild Hall of Totnes and was in use from
1553 when Edward VI gave Totnes a charter authorising
the re-use of a former Priory building (founded 1088)
as a Guildhall and schools. In 1624 the building was
converted to a Magistrates court and was in use right
up until 1974. With a building with such history and
significance could the place be haunted? That's what
we went to find out when we spent the night at Totnes
Guildhall.

After
an enjoyable and interesting first investigation at

Hidden Realms were delighted to be invited back to embark
upon a second investigation there. This time the group
invited C.O.T.C
along for a joint investigation.
