A team of ghost investigators will be spending Saturday night in a Cornwall jail trying to find evidence of ghosts. Ten researchers from the Paranormal Site Investigators (PSI) group will use scientific equipment to try and record any spooky goings-on at Bodmin Jail. Members of the group visited the jail several years ago as holidaymakersand took some photographs which they said revealed "interesting phenomena".

The group, which has believers and sceptics, will spend 10 hours there. The jail is reputed to be home to several spirits and the PSI team will be using a range of equipment, including infra-red cameras, humidity detectors and electro-magnetic sensors. The not-for-profit paranormal investigation and research group was formed in 2004. Bodmin Jail dates back to 1776and was the site of many public executions. The last hanging took place in 1909 and the Crown Jewels and Doomsday Book were stored at the jail during the First World War.

The South Shields Poltergeist

Danny Penman: Marc and Marianne undressed themselves and quickly slipped under the duvet. Although the heating had been on for many hours, it was unusually cold in their normally snug bedroom.

Seconds later, Marianne was hit on the head by their son’s toy dog. She sat bolt upright in bed with a bemused look in her eyes. The cuddly toy was clearly aimed at he...

Ghost-hunting skeptics

When Carol Copeland started renovating her World War II-era Stockton home a year ago, things started to happen that were unexplainable, she said. At first, when she came home to find an empty shelf ripped out of her bedroom wall, she blamed it on faulty carpentry.

But when she watched as a shot glass collection flew off a shelf in her living room, she said, there was no denying it anymore. “I always said I...

Something strange in the neighborhood? Call ghost hunters

A sliver of a moon illuminates gravestones and a motley group treading slowly over fresh-cut grass. It has been several hours since the search began. Suddenly, the thermal gauge, held in the palm of one member's hand, registers a steady temperature drop: from 67, to 54, then 42 -- and finally to 34 degrees. "It's colder here," the member reports. Just then, the lights on the electromagnetic field detector begin flashing, drawing the group deeper into the grounds. The gr...
