Crewe Heritage Centre

The museum is located at the rear of a the Tesco superstore, in the old LMS railway yard for Crewe Railway Station.

It was originally named 'The Railway Age' and on its initial opening was a great success for the town. Unfortunately the centre fell into decline until new management was installed in late November 2007.

The museum is now undergoing extensive renovations.

It has three signal boxes. The largest being the North Signal Box (see photo right).

The main exhibit of the museum is the BR Class 370 APT now undergoing restoration and upgrading. The main exhibition hall features many trains, carriages and exhibits, including the exhibition of a LNWR Travelling post office (TPO) coach and assorted Royal Mail Exhibits . The investigation was an initial recce for a possible future charity event.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

Most activity was reported in the North Signal Box.

CASE REPORT: START 9PM - FINISH- 4PM

Areas investigated

The North Signal Box

• BR Class 370 APT train
• LNWR Travelling post office.
• Main exhibition area

Evidence collected

Activity in the lower section of the North signal box. The EMF meter was responding to questions.

• Spirit lights were reported.
• IR Video of Orbs in the Traveling Post Office.
• Feeling of the carriage moving from side to side.
• Footsteps and voices in the main exhibition hall.

Conclusion
Our team felt that there maybe 2 areas of paranormal interest. We agreed that another recce vigil should performed in order to substantiate a definite paranormal activity is present before giving the thumbs up for a charity event. All the incidents experienced could be rationalised.

Doncaster Air Museum

This was The site of the former RAF Doncaster. The main part of the site has been developed into a leisure and housing, but the north western corner is home to the Aeroventure. The airfield was a pre-war civil airfield which was commandeered by the RAF at the outbreak of WW2. Its most well known inhabitant was 271 squadron. The airfield also became associated with Dakotas and many of these were repaired at the airfield during the war.The museum has a large collection of aircraft and helicopter (non from WW2). It also displays WW2 uniforms and artifacts and photographs of the site history.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

• Ghostly footsteps, strange low whispers and the laughter of children.
• A specific aircraft (from the Falklands war) that has an unpleasant feeling about, the story goes that it is the pilot of this craft who does not like people in/around the aircraft.
