Bodmin jail LIVE stream investigation

Hi all,

Sorry for the late notice but we are hoping to have a live stream at the Bodmin jail investigation this Saturday night (29th May, 10pm to 7am GMT)

Bodmin jail is reputed to be one of Englands most haunted places. It used to be a Naval prison. Many hanging took place here and people would travel for many miles to witness the executions.

The original jail was built for King George III in 1779. The Jail you see today was built by the prisoners who brought the 20,000 tons of granite from Bodmin's “Cuckoo Quarry”. During the First World War the Jail held state papers and the Doomsday book.

Bodmin Jail is a unique heritage asset which has been allowed to decay until the Wheten family bought the site in the summer of 2004. They are ploughing all the revenue from entrance fees and profits from the shop and business as a whole back into the Jail with a ten year plan to revive this infamous Jail; by replacing roofs, internal structures and showing the cells as they once were, whilst also incorporating a museum of Cornish life over the last three centuries.

55 executions have taken place within the walls of Bodmin Jail, for crimes such as rape, murder and stealing. 51 of these executions were open to the public, and thousands would travel specially to witness these morbid events. 20,000 people squeezed into Bodmin, in 1844, to watch the noose lowered over the head of Mathew Weeks, and then see his final plunge through the trap door, and hear the snap of his neck. He was publicly executed for the murder of Charlotte Dymond, his girlfriend at the time. The last public hanging took place at Bodmin Jail, in 1909.

We are hoping that there will not be any problems with the live stream. Due to the material used to build the jail, we may have some connection troubles but are going to do our best and see what happens.
The live stream will be found here;

All going well, updates will follow as they happen.

Will be god to see you all on the stream once again. Many of you have enjoyed our previous investigations and on our prelim investigation of Bodmin jail, it seems that we will not be disspaointed. Our best camera will be looking down the main corridoor of a major part of the jail.

This Is Great!!

I Caught 'Some' of the last investigation but not as much as I would have liked so hopefully this time I can catch a little bit more!

So good luck with your investigation(s) Extralien, I Hope you find some interesting evidence with this.

Thanks RA.

I know where the camera will be pointing and many might recognise the area that it will be covering so we are hoping for quite a lot of activity.

We're just a little unsure about how the net connection will hold up at the moment but we will discover on the night, so just a heads up that we might have a few problems. Otherwise, should be a great night..

Ok, I hope you don't mind Extralien but I'm giving this thread a quick bump since no ones posted for a while and well it's pretty close till you are going live. (tomorrow infact)

More people who are interested in the paranormal and/or go on investigations really should see this!!

Yah ! Great stuff I've heard that it's supposed to be very active there ... I can't wait ... just hope my damn computer doesn't throw a hissy-fit this time.

Quite synchronistic too because I was only thinking the other day that it had been quite a while since your last 'live stream' ... exciting.

(pleading to the Goddess) - Please ... please ... please let everything work properly.

And Rising Against ... thanks for the heads-up and pointing me in the direction of Extralien's thread.

Ahhh ! the weekend starts here.

Hiya Woody

great to hear from you.

All being well, we should have a good event.
The prelim invo was very promising as we experienced a lot of EMF spikes and a few good photos. Seeing the place up close and personal is a bit mind blowing.

The place reeks of atmosphere without the stories and happenings in the jail.

We are all 'fingers crossed' that the live stream will go on with no hitches.

Well I just clicked the link in the OP and although the 'livestream' is obviously off-line at the moment, I clicked 'chat' and it all comes up perfectly ... so I decided to just keep that screen minimized for now ... just in case it wouldn't work for me later.

I'm not taking any chances this time ... I have a good feeling about this one ... I think there is going to be a lot going on, so brace yourselves (are you actually going to be there in the flesh tonight Extralien) ?

Woody

Is it about another 10 hours away?

Less than 5mins and counting ... good luck you guy's see you on the livestream.

Oh dear ... looks like you guys are having trouble with the livestream ... it's offline ... however ... unlike last time my chat facility is working perfectly this time ... now if only we could get them both working at the same time.

Gotta love technology. I'll keep checking back in the hopes that you get it up and running. Really hope you do because I think tonight is going to be pretty wild for you guys.

Woody

eh not happening? Still offline for me

Morning Extralien,

Such a shame the 'livestream' didn't behave last night (I gave-up checking about 1am and went to bed)

I really hope you all had a fantastically productive night and I can't wait to read about it here ... we want to know about every noise and cold-spot that you guys experienced ... and photo's please

In short ... we want to feel like we were there !

Woody

Ever so sorry that we were not able to get the live stream going..
We have been talking with the personel at the jail and they are attempting to run some cables so we can have an internet connection the next time we visit.

We had a great night. Did a normal investigation with members of the public and also did some glass divination.

We are still going over all the evidence.. but one piece of video footage has come up as rather interesting and we are trying to establish exactly what it is, and what caused it..

IMO it looks and sounds like static electricity. This footage was taken in, what is known as, the long room. It is a room with cells runnig down either side. Majority of the cells have a waist height metal bar and a wired lower half just to stop people walking into the displays inside the cells.

Here it is, looped, at normal speed

And here it is slowed down...

Your opinions please...
