If There’s something spooky in your museum – who are you going to call?Tewkesbury Museum turned to a group of ghostbusters who reckon there is a spirit lurking in the Barton Street building.<\/p>\n

The team from the Three Counties Paranormal Organisation were called in to investigate spooky noises, strange smells and an eerie presence in the building.<\/p>\n

Staff noticed the smell of old-fashioned washing powder and felt a ghostly presence, but couldn’t explain it.<\/p>\n

The museum used to be a merchant’s shop before being split into houses. Evacuees were sent to families living there during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

It has been suggested the ghost is a mother who was worked to the bone caring for her family and the refugees.<\/p>\n

The paranormal hunters were called in and used heat, motion and electricity sensors to detect ghostly activity and camcorders to record their findings.<\/p>\n

The group contains a number of people who claim to be ‘sensitive’ to the paranormal.<\/p>\n

During the investigation, a team member said she experienced a peculiar headache every time she went over a certain area in the museum.<\/p>\n

The group’s members plan to hold a seance in that spot when they return in September.<\/p>\n

Museum curator Maggie Thornton said: “They confirmed there is something apparent on the top floor.<\/p>\n

“It would be nice to solve the puzzle about the smells and noises we have been experiencing.”<\/p>\n

Graham Atkinson, who led the investigation, said: “We are going back in September overnight to do a full investigation to see if we can get noises or visual phenomena, preferably lights, to occur.<\/p>\n

“It would be great if a ghost walked through the wall but they don’t seem to do that.”<\/p>\n

The organisation formed three years ago and has 40 members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
