When you're in the paranormal field for as long as I have
been, there is not much left that whets your paranormal appetite as much as a location
you haven't investigated before. Gaols, psychiatric hospitals and other places
of obvious trauma, staple locations for paranormal investigators, are in short
supply nowadays so last night I grabbed the opportunity to get stuck into some
work at Parramatta Gaol with my long time para gal pal, Beth Luscombe from
Access Paranormal.
I started the night with taking some location shots with my
Fujifilm XF1 but had to give up shortly as the originally fully charged battery
expired only seven shots into my session. An inconvenience to say the least as
I wanted to travel light on the night an didn't bring a spare batter or a
charger even. Rookie mistake, one that I'm sure my partner in crime, Beth will not
let me live down anytime soon.
We started off at the shower block, a sandstone building
with the floor sunken into the ground about three feet deep. A small and
largely featureless space with a tiled floor and walls with some of the shower
roses still in place. This area had an interesting environment for audio with
the natural echo the high ceiling and general interior sparseness created. The
only features of this space were two benches and a laundry trolley. We decided
it was as good an opportunity for an EVP session as any other.
While Beth reports that there were no EVPS captured, there
were some interesting personal experiences during the session. I had several
sensations of being touched, something I had given the spirits I was sensing
permission for. One in particular, whom I sensed, paid special interest to my
hair, playing with it before moving to the silver chain around my neck before I
felt a hand around my neck tightening somewhat but never to the point of
hurting me. It felt like a power play playing out that formed a part of this man's personality while he was
alive. He didn't speak or gave me any more information about himself at the
time so we invited him to accompany us to the other structures on the ground of
the gaol we were planning on visiting on the night.
We decided to try our luck in a building next that is
largely ignored by people for some reason. We headed to the first floor with
our torches and after exploring the level we settled on a cell where I heard a deep
groaning sound from on our walk by.
The EVP has again revealed nothing conclusive but while in
the cell I saw some mist forming evenly in the cell almost opposite the one we
were in, across the concourse.

The footage and audio recording we took didn't yield
anything paranormal at the time. It was as this time that the batter on my near
brand new phone where I was recording the video with was getting close to
depletion, even though I started the night with an almost full charge.
We headed over to another cell block where a séance just
finished. Shortly after entering the building a large metallic clanking sound
was heard that was repeated a short time later. The direction of the sound was
obvious and we agreed that it was coming from above us. I took the opportunity
to scan through the first and second floors to establish whether anyone else
was there to make those sounds and tried to find the source of the audible
phenomena. It wasn't until I reached the middle of the second floor concourse
that I found a possible source, a metal sheet placed across the wire mash
connecting the two side of the concourse. As soon as I walked on it, it made a
familiar sound, a groan under my weight. I was the only one on that floor and
on my way up I hadn't come across anyone there, aside from a man who was a part
of the tour and who witnessed the sound with me from the ground floor to begin
with. The sound has repeated a few times later on during the night with no one
in the vicinity other than the investigators on the ground floor with me.
All in all it was a great night and a perfect way to
paranormally start the year.
