Ghost Hunting & Paranormal Ghost Hunts At Fort Paull, With Simply Ghost Nights, 16th August 2013
A ghostly apparition of a soldier dressed from the Napoleonic wars has reportedly been spotted roaming Fort Paull for many years now and the sound of soldiers marching has also been heard around the Fort as well.
- (1888PressRelease) July 03, 2013 - Fort Paull just only a few minutes from Hull as along history of being a defensive outpost for the British Isles since 1542 during the reign of Henry the VIII , the Humber was seen as a possible invasion point for any invading army such as Napoleons and the Axis of the 1st and 2nd world war.
The Fort also contains one of the last Blackburn Beverley airplanes in existence, do the pilots and aircrew still sit at the controls and navigational equipment of this Goddess of the air. Find out as we conduct a ghostly vigil in this flying fortress of the skies.
On a recent walk around in one of the many tunnels as we sat in the quiet and called out to the spirits of Fort Paull to replicate our three taps and instantly we heard three taps from an opposing wall to our amazement!
Batteries have been built at Paull by Henry VIII, Charles I during the Civil War during the siege of Hull and the Napoleonic Wars. The current fort is of pentagonal design and was built in 1861-4 and on the recommendations of the Royal Commission, hence it is one of the Palmerston Forts. The original emplacements, nineteen 64 pounder (29 kg) RML artillery pieces were almost completely demolished in 1894 when concrete emplacements for three disappearing guns and two quick firing guns were built. A mining station was added in 1886 and searchlights followed in 1907.
At the outset of the First World War, Fort Paull was judged too close to Hull, so was disarmed when new forts were built at Sunk Island and Stallingborough. The fort was used as a training base between the wars, and during the Second World War, it was converted into a magazine to serve the Russian convoys; a degaussing station was also added.
In 1960, Fort Paull was released from the Ministry of Defence and closed down. In 1964, a group of volunteers, the Friends of Fort Paull took over the site and began to restore the fort as a heritage museum. Fort Paull finally opened to the public in 2000. Fort Paull houses a waxwork museum showing figures which have influenced the fort's long history as well as an armoury showing various artillery pieces and armoured vehicles.
With nearly five hundred years of history at Fort Paull which ghostly spirits will make contact with us on a ghost hunt at Fort Paull, with former soldiers, sailors, nurses and pilots who may communicate with us Fort Paull is the ideal place to go on a ghost hunting event in East Yorkshire and Humberside.
