Friar Street Mall: Is the derelict shopping centre haunted?

A derelict shopping centre was the scene of a paranormal investigation on Saturday night as ghost hunters explored abandoned stores.

Black Cat Paranormal led the hunt at Friars Walk in, Friar Street, Reading town centrethroughout the night on Saturday, May 30.

Clare Durrant, one of the ghost hunters from Black Cat, said the team's finding had been interesting.

"I took my spirit box with me," she explained.

"It's a radio scanner which is set in reverse. It flicks through around 300 frequencies per second so it would never pick up a station, even if it did we wouldn't be able to understand because it's in reverse.

"We heard two voices on there - a female voice which sounded like a girl and a very deep male voice.

"We asked them questions like how many of us were in the room and heard numbers back from it."

The team also experienced a couple of spooky situations which Clare said "freaked" her.

She said: "There was one point when we split into two groups.

"I took one group into the old C&A shop and we all saw a figure walk pass with a flash light.

"I thought it was someone from the second group but when I went to ask if they'd found anything the figure had gone.

"Later when I asked the other group if they had been there they confirmed they hadn't been anywhere near us.

"I also took one of the visitors into a shop corner to see if we could find anything and we both got blasted in the face with cold air - it freaked me out enough for us to run away. We weren't welcome there."

Despite the incident Clare said she didn't think harm could come to her or the rest of the group during a paranormal investigation.

"Lots of people believe different things but in my opinion spirits are just disembodied energy which, for whatever reason, has decided to stay in a certain place," she explained.

"We also protect ourselves by splashing incense on us and we take cleansing very seriously before we leave."

Beware: Paranormal investigators say Bryan-Downs, Stockade and Eells-Stow houses in Milford are haunted

From the NPIS website: “Over 50 photos were taken during an EVP session in a room on the first floor of the Eells-Stow House. We found this one photo of the 50+ taken to contain a blue energy not present in any of the others. This energy was captured following a sensation of static electricity in the room by some our team members.” (Photos courtesy of NPIS website) 

MILFORD >> Paranormal investigators say the historic Bryan-Downs house is haunted by a woman and servant girl, while the Revolutionary War hero Captain Dr. Stephen Stow continues to “live” in the adjacent Eells-Stow House.

But they want more details about the spirits who live on the Milford Historical Society complex — more pieces to the puzzle — and will attempt to find them with the help of the public during paranormal investigations June 20 and 27th.

For a $50 fee, with a significant portion of the money going back to the Milford Historical Society, participants will learn ghost hunting techniques and be provided with tools.

“Each paranormal investigation is an opportunity to find out a little more information about a place or people there,” said Cindy Wolfe Boynton, a popular author and writer who leads the popular Spirits of Milford ghost walks. “Hopefully, we’re going to get information that will expand on what we have.”

Boynton has teamed with Northeast Paranormal Investigations Society — NPIS — to train the public on site. As each session is limited to 30 people who will be broken into groups of 10, the June 20 session has already sold out.

The investigations will take place from 9 p.m. to midnight at 34 High Street.

Participants will use professional tools, including voice recorders,dowsing rods, digital and infrared still and video cameras, pendulums and more in the attempt to make contact with spirits, Boynton said. They also will be lead through exercises designed to enhance their own psychic abilities.

Adam Shefts, of Wallingford, founder of NPIS, said the group limits its investigations to historic sites.

“We have history as a foundation for every investigation,” Shefts said. “We want to connect evidence with history.”

Members of his group have visited the historic Milford complex twice and found a definite presence of spirits, he said.

Shefts said the presence of additional investigators — meaning the public — could really add to the investigation, because, “Everyone has their own energy and a spirit may be more inclined to interact with one person than another,” he said. “To interact with someone who passed away hundreds of years ago is exciting to take part in.”

The three houses involved in the investigation are the Eells-Stow House, believed to be the oldest house in Milford, The “Stockade House” and the Bryan-Downs House, c. 1785.

During the Revolutionary War, one was a hospital where many had died, including about one-quarter of 200 British soldiers with small pox who had been dumped on Milford’s shores. Captain Dr. Stephen Stow treated them and later died of the disease himself. Boynton said that in 2007, paranormal investigators came in and determined Stow “absolutely” still lives in the Eells-Stow House.

The Bryan-Downs house is also believed to be haunted, including by a servant woman. Several historical society members have heard their names whispered and have been touched going out the door, Boynton said. In the Eels-Stow house, there is a picture made of human hair, common practice back then as a way of preserving part of a deceased loved one.

Shefts said one of the group’s “sensitives,” Kyle Berghiaume, could “hear“ the energy of a spirit in the Bryan-Down’s house and when he walked into the Stockade House, Bible scriptures started running through his head.

In the Stow house, NPIS investigators identified some electronic voice phenomenon and captured a spirit voice on a recorder. Similar equipment will be set up for the public events.

Shefts said “a ball of energy” also came into a room when investigators were present.

While outside of the Stow house, investigator Mark Firulli saw a woman dressed in old time clothing standing in the window, Shefts said.

Shefts said every investigation is conducted in a respectful manner and guests will be prepped with safety tips.

“We do investigations respectfully,” he said. “We believe that just because a person is in a spirit form, there’s no reason not to treat them like a person.”
