Ghost hunt on August 27

Twenty nine people went on the ghost hunt last Thursday evening. It was a stormy night but once we were inside the prison complex we were protected from the worst of the weather. The temperature was around 14 degrees Centigrade however as we got started the temperature dropped dramatically especially in the underground chambers and passageways under the old prison. While 45% of those who participated testified to witnessing unexplained orbs or other strange phenomena, 24% captured these on their digital cameras or mobile phones.

Electronic Cameras capture strange orbs on tour

These are just two of the many photographs that tour participants have forwarded to the Tours of Belfast project following an interesting ghost hunt at the now derelict Belfast Prison.

The two photos were taken directly after one another and show some unexplained "orbs". Some people insist these are just light tricks of the camera, others believe there is something more supernatural to them explaining that they are in fact spirits that have been captured on and electronic device.These particular photos were taken on a Sanyo digital camera. The person taking the photos thought she saw a movement beyond the gates at D Wing. Access to that area of th e prison however was forbidden and the lady took a series of photos and forwarded them to us for our opinion.

Evening ghost hunt with Tours of Belfast

More than 50% of those who attended were even more convinced in the presence of ghosts or spirits throughout the tour. Many had to be reassured that they were going to be okay when they returned home that evening. 31% of those on the tour captured unexplained phenomena on the digital cameras or phones. Tours of Belfast will be uploading this and the ongoing results of our investigation in due course.
