... Head over to Haunted UK for a review of the general history and haunted history of the Bowes Railway Museum. Alternatively, use the table of contents to view the reports for each location.

Main Workshop

This large L-Shaped room consisted of two main sections : The Fitting Shop and The Engineering Shop. As the two areas were open plan, we considered this location as one.

The location itself consisted of various machinery such as lathes and other machines used in the construction or repair work for the railway including the repair of locomotives and wheel turning.

One piece of machinary in this room did interfere with the EMF readings that were taken at the beginning of the night and the pollution levels (both outside noise and dust) were quite high.

Medium Walkaround With Chris

Chris could only pick up images of the Main Workshop as it might have been at earlier times.

He spoke of being able to see heavy objects hanging from the beams in the roof and something being by pulleys.

He could also pick up on Dray Horses being associated with the Main Workshop in someway.

Group 1 Report : Jay Rachel AndreaR Christine

We found very little evidence of any activity in the workshops.

We did pick up on a couple of cold spots and also draughts that could not be explained. The draughts felt like those you would feel if somebody walked passed you quickly (we're not suggesting thats what they were!).

Other than that, we experienced little else in the workshop and eventually the nights investigation ended.

Group 2 Report : Andrea Mike Gary Lesley

On entering this Location we already felt a bit uneasy as Mike and Gary had believed they had seen a figure in this room already while we were investigating another Location.

We went into the Workshop feeling a bit uneasy. We sat quiet for a bit and called out. We got the feeling that we were not the only people here, it was a weird feeling of been watched.

At the same time Mike, Andrea, Gary and Lesley saw what can only be described as a dark figure walking towards us. We all walked down to where we saw the figure, and found nothing.

Lesley again, used the Rods and she believed there was 5 Spirits in the room with us, 5 men and 3 woman. 6 worked here and 2 were visitors. We all still had an uneasy feeling.

After some more calling out with no response, it was time to move onto our next Location.

Group 3 Report : Sue Joan Linda Debbie Etta

We got very little in the workshop itself and after a short while actually went out into the courtyard outside.

Although we got one or two photo's of orbs out here, again we felt there was very little evidence of activity concerning the workshop.
