New building, old aircraft, would have thought the Maritime Museum would have been a more likely candidate. Ghost hunters to investigate.

We had two paranormal overnight sessions at the Helicopter Museum last year but once they declared the Westland 30 might be haunted I lost interest.Apart from being responsible for Michael Heseltine committing suicide in Maggies government I couldn't see any possible connection.

There must be something in this story, because a ghostly, malevolent spirit, looking frighteningly like Michael Hesletine was on the TV the other day, urging ever greater expenditure from our already skint Taxpayers, to fund the lunatic extravagance of HS2. Evidently our late PM should have gone-equiped with a large wooden stake and mallet....

Well, don't be too quick to discount it - I was a skeptic until I saw a video that Kermit Weeks posted of a WW1 ghost over at Fantasy of Flight:

You have to turn you speakers up though as it's pretty quiet.

Did I imagine it, or was there a TV programme about an actual haunted aircraft in a museum? Something's telling me it was the Lincoln at Cosford. :confused:

I'm not to sure that 'actual' and 'haunted' really belong together...!
PS;- Yes, it was the Lincoln at Cosford. Someone must have been at the ganja...

Well, I meant "actual" in that it was just the aircraft, not the museum itself, that was haunted. ;)

But it's still the same two words which don't fit together!;)

Pffff...just one ghost?

At Duxford we get stacks of ghosts of kids from the '40s - running around all the time in their period dress. They even arrive by coach!

Poor little beggars obviously copped it during the blitz.

Seriously though, I find it disappointing when people have strong or evocative experiences when in an historic setting of some sort and feel the urge to put it down to "ghosts". Yes, the experience can make one susceptible to being too imaginative about "noises" or "shadows", but putting these things down to "ghosts" is to miss the value of understanding why those objects have an emotional impact. But perhaps I am missing the point. Perhaps it is just a promotional gimmick.

Re 15

Ken Shabby,

Please tell us more: Specific times or random? Are 'they' seen to be carrying items ? There can be no realistic association with Duxford and Blitz period children.

Or, is your comment some kind of 'leg-pull ?'
