I arrived at the Galleries at approximately 9pm. I was introduced to the other teams in the main base room. Equipment in much quantity was strewn about the room, cameras on tripods, and gadgets that I had never seen before. One of the main monitors had failed, so Nigel (Brotronics) set up one of his own mini monitors which seemed to work very well. Remote cameras were set up in the court rooms which relayed audio and visual information back to the main room.

Our teams thought we would make a start to see what activity we could pick up. As we walked through the corridor, Louise the spirit medium didn't pick up any immediate entities, but she was getting lots of residual energy from the main court room even though we hadn't actually entered. Further down we walked towards the main jail area, Louise said, "there are so many spirit children here, some wandering about looking for mum and dad". We then went into the condemned cell. Louise said, "They were very lucky if they even managed to get themselves locked in here, this is a hotel compared to down there !, there is much fear of a man, a gaoler, I think he was an ex-inmate too, he liked nothing better to flog these poor souls, beat them up whenever he felt like it, he took pleasure in doing so. Many would have liked a quick death by the neck just to get away from this horrible man, but many couldn't afford the privilege". I thought it was very sad how these people were bullied by this horrid soul and wishing death to come soon.

We then went to the laundry room area, Louise pointed to the bath tub in the corner; "They were lucky if they could get a bath, not many got the chance". In the bedroom area Louise was sensing the same man that she had done a sketch of earlier that day (the foyer mannequin) the bed didn't used to be there, it used to be here on this wall, she pointed to the wall nearest the door. Standing at the bottom of the bed she continued, "this is that horrible man again, he is next to me now on the left, this was his room, even though I am sensing females and children , this was his domain, basically in here he could do whatever he wanted, he would have done sexual things in here whenever he wanted with whoever he wanted". Louise continued to sense this man, she then started walking in circles, "he is walking round me, making me dizzy, this character has hit someone on the head, I am getting a pain in my head", Louise seemed to be following something around the room, see the light?, he is going round the room now", she followed the so called orb with her finger, the entity was apparently behind me, then I got a tremendous stabbing pain in my right temple, "You ok Jules?" the team seemed concerned and ask me if I was ok, I said "yes". I said, "I do not suffer from headaches at all, but I am a sensitive to certain situations" and I continued to massage my head for five minutes after. We then left the area and continued into the cave systems which is known to date as far back as the medieval times. The pain left my head by the time we got down there, Louise said, "there was no sanitation down here, they were doing their business on the floor, in-fact they even went to great lengths to spread it on the walls so they didn't have to sit in it !" Louise also noticed a small bricked boxed area in one corner, "they stored food there, what little food they had, which wasn't much".
