Ghost Hunting & Paranormal Ghost Hunts At Ripon Workhouse & Orphanage Museum, & Orphanage With Simply Ghost Nights, 9th August 2014
Join Simply Ghost Nights as we step back in time to the Ripon Workhouse & Orphanage Museum, and take in the darkened atmosphere of the doom and gloom of the poor unfortunate former residents of the Ripon Workhouse Museum, from Orphans, Vagrants, and the Infirm would be residents of the Workhouse.
- (1888PressRelease) July 26, 2014 - Completly exclusive to Simply Ghost Nights Ripon Museum is a very active location. Step back in time and take in the atmosphere of the doom and gloom the poor unfortunate residents of the workhouse would have felt from the moment they stepped through the door.
On a previous investigation we experienced on the top floor of the Workhouse Stuart Simply Ghost Nights resident medium and a group of ghost hunters were calling out for spirit interaction when the K2 inexplicably began to spike from the green light to red at about the same time a loud bang was heard from around one of the fireplaces where five minutes Stuart had said there was a well dressed spirit gentleman waswatching the group, Stuart had said that this man was more than likely a former guardian or overseer of the workhouse. It was then decided to attempt a table tipping experiment in the room, to the groups' shock the table began tipping and rocking.
In another vigil with Lesley and Jez a group of ghost hunters picked up on a former resident Nora who took a shine to one of male guests and a male spirit called Bernard who liked one of the guests who reminded him of Nora, his wife. Bernard claimed via the Ouija board that he was 36 when he passed in 1845. Bernard also stated that he had a girl aged 2 Annie and a boy of 3 called Zachery who passed there too.
"Hush-a-bye baby, on a tree top. When you grow old, your wages will stop. When you have spent the little you made. First to the poorhouse and then to the grave." This rhyme tells the story of many a working man's life in the 19th Century. The rather elegant building in Allhallowgate, standing in grounds graced with flower beds, trees, lilacs and even a passion flower, seems far removed from the dreaded Workhouse in Oliver Twist.
A feeling of doom or at best hopeless resignation must have fallen on many passing through the Gatehouse arch and hearing the door shut behind them. They knew they would leave only in the regulation coffin, 'with two handles, name of the person with the year of their decease inscribed'. Coffins were ordered in bulk.
