Hangar 1 also proved interesting simply for the amount of mist anomalies caught on digital
camera, when none were showing on camcorder and breath testing proved negative.
Most of these mists were captured around Otherworld investigator Fiona - a fact of which
she remains blissfully unaware of (or at least she’ll remain unaware until she reads this!).
These mists also seemed to occur when either myself or Fiona had seen something move
in the north-west corner of the hangar: strangely the environmental meters showed no
change in humidity in the atmosphere, which it should have if there was an onset of
natural mists.
Other phenomena reported by the teams during the night’s vigil included rapid power
drainage in cameras and camcorders (I myself lost 200 minutes off my camcorder battery
in just under a second), and fluctuations in temperature between 7 and -1°C, the change
occurring over a matter of seconds. At 2am, clear footsteps and the sound of a man
coughing was heard from the back of the hangar: needless to say when the area was
investigated, no one was found to be there.
Just paces north of Hangar 1 lies Hangar 2, which contains more pieces of aircraft including
an engine recovered from the sea which was reportedly haunted by the spirits of the men
who had died in the crash. This story was told to me by the manager of the museum, as
he said a medium who had investigated the hangar had said that the blips found on
electomagnetic field meters when the instrument was held over the engine was in fact
the spirits of the dead airmen: naturally this was intriguing. Unfortunately in this case,
upon careful examination of the engine using a simple Gauss EMF meter (testing for
man-made electromagnetic fields) and a magnetic orienteering compass, it was
determined that the fields were simply a product of some of the engine coils simply being
magnetic...
Hangar 2 did however redeem itself near 3am. Myself and two other investigators were
just about the leave the area when something small and hard, presumably a stone landed
with a crack on the floor and bounced a couple of times. Turning around, Fiona thought
she saw a figure standing at the far end of the room, and Susan from the Mysteries team
said that she was beginning to feel uncomfortable. We asked for anyone present to show
itself, and again the sound of a stone hitting the floor was heard, this time sounding as if
it was thrown hard. There was the distinct urge to leave the hangar at that point (as you
can probably imagine!), but we stayed in place till the end of the vigil, hoping that we
would be able to find either the source of the stones or simply even one of the stones that
had been thrown. Sadly, we experienced nothing else ourselves, but other teams
investigating Hangar 2 that night reported major electrical disturbances in the form of
battery drainage, strange temperature fluctuations and some of the investigators
experienced neck and back pains, which vanished upon leaving the area.
