Paranormal UK Investigated Bowes Railway Museum last Night, We Were Guests Of Northern Ghost Investigations
About Bowes Railway
Bowes Railway was originally a colliery railway built to carry coal mainly from pits in north west Durham to the Tyne at Jarrow. The earliest section was designed by George Stephenson and opened on 17 January 1826, making it one of the world's first modern railways. It was 15 miles long when completed in 1855. Each end was locomotive worked; the six mile middle section consisting of rope worked inclines with very steep gradients. At its peak, the Railway handled over 1 million tons of coal per year and remained virtually intact until 1968. Between 1968 and 1974, most of the line was closed until only the last 3.5 miles between Monkton and Jarrow staithes were operated by the National Coal Board. However, the original 1826 section between the Black Fell bank head and Springwell bank head was acquired for preservation in 1976 by Tyne and Wear County Council. This comprises Blackham's Hill West and East inclines, which are operated by a stationary haulage engine. It is the only working preserved standard gauge rope hauled railway in the world. In 1977, the Railway's Engineering and Wagon Shops at Springwell were added to the scheme, providing the facilities needed for maintenance.
Paranormal Or NOT.
The investigation was a cold and wet one its was -1c and snowing. There has been report of poltergeist activity with in the buildings so we had high expectations but seems the ghosts just did not wanna play with us, The investigation was split up in to 4 inner locations, The workshop Top and bottom floor, The L shaped Workshop, The Loco Shed, And the Joiners Work Shop.
From a sceptics view on things they would properly put the night paranormal activity down to physiological factors, but to be there and see things going on in front of you and sensing what you may think to be paranormal, you may think differently now read the reports from each location and see if you can explain any of what we may think to be paranormal. please leave your comments on our forums.
