Erewash Museum

Ghost Hunt report by Erewash Museum, GSI and Twilight Paranormal

During the late 1940’s to the early 1950’s, numerous reports of a lion roaming the then enclosed groully, Stories of spooked horse, apparitions, shadows, voices and much more.

 

The Museum

 

 Most of recent stories came from staff at the museum, however its possible to trace the buildings history back through the 1800's as the library hold financial information on “Dolby House” and the doctor Dr George Blake Norman, who lived and worked there.

We found the story of the outlaws in a pamphlet held at Ilkeston library called Punishment in Derbyshire. The small booklet had detailed accounts of how and where crimes were committed and how the criminals were punished.

 

 

Staff told us of:

The girl who fell and broke her neck,

The sounds in the stables,

Dowsing stories,

The cleansing of the house by a mystic,

Three ghosts, 1 on the back stairs, one on the second floor and one on the ground floor.

 

Experienced:

The Justice Rooms

This was the Petty courts of the town. We pout this is as we found the “tit-bit” of information about where it was to be interesting and through the research we heard of many crooks who also intrigued us.

In the library records of the Justice rooms – magistrates court can be found, detailing dates and dealings of the petty courthouse.

 

The first session was held on the 12/04/1860

Erewash Museum (07/06/2013) - Two guests removed from kitchen
 

Published on Jun 8, 2013

During an investigation at Erewash Museum in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, several guests had their arms moved up and down involuntarily in the kitchen area, forcing one of the guests down until she was standing with her legs straight and her body arched over at a right-angle, dragging other members of the group with her. After this incident, both herself and her friend next to her were unable to move from where they were stood, visibly shaking, and had to have the spirits removed from them and helped from the room. Both guests were fine later on, and were left both bemused and puzzled.
