EXCLUSIVE MAJESTIC THEATRE LOCKDOWN - Saturday 22nd June 2024

Majestic Theatre, 22nd June 2024
Cam, Colin, Sonya and Katie
Main Theatre
K2 and intuition

We started the evening in the main theatre with Cam completing the white light protection.

Several guests could see shadows on the stage and the wing areas so we set a K2 at the back of the stage.

Blue light anomalies could be seen around the stage so we encouraged spirit to show themselves in light form, this led to movement around the curtains and movements in the seating area.

Several small sighs, which sounded like children's voices, could be heard, along with taps coming from the back of the seating area. Colin encouraged the actors and patrons that once enjoyed the theatre to come forward by reciting a speech from Shakespeare's Richard III. Creaks from the seats could be heard, and on several occasions a foul smell came from the sides of the stage at the front. Colin could also sense a strong smell of chocolate when sat at the back of the seating area.

One guest could hear a clear 'yes' when we asked if there was a little girl with us.

Shortly after this, we decided to move along to another area, as we prepared to move, something could be heard hitting the stage. When turning on the light a number 11 plaque from the seats had been thrown onto the stage landing between Cam and Katie. After searching the seats, a plaque was missing from where seat 11 on the second to back row of the theatre, so it had travelling almost the full length of the room! We thanked spirit and moved on to explore the building further.

Colin and Katie's Group
Dressing Rooms
Scrying, word apps and cat ball

We joined other guests already in the dressing rooms and placed guests in front of the mirrors to try scrying. Slight changes occured to the face of one guest, but could not get a full transformation.

The area was quiet, so we moved as a group to the upstairs part of the building.

Bulb Room
Human Pendulum

We asked spirit to choose a member of the circle so we may communicate. Once a guest had been chosen, we asked lots of questions and learned the following:
We were talking to a male spirit who was not attached to that theatre, but the land beforehand. He told us he was there in the 1700s when it was farmland and he had cattle. He outlived his wife, son and daughter. Once he passed the land could not be passed down the family, and as it was a tenancy, he was moved on. He disliked that the land was built on and did not enjoy the theatre being there. He had not passed to the light, although his family had.



Soft play area
Ouija board and table tipping

The ouija board gave us slight movement, but the energy couldn't come through strong enough to answer questions, we managed to get 'E R F' when asking spirit for a name, but the energy dropped. At this point we decided to try table tipping to see if this was easier for spirit. Immediately, the table vibrated into a rocking motion and spirit confirmed that we were with a male spirit, and we hadn't spoken to him yet that night. The table circled and at one point was on two legs, spirit seemed to be having fun following Peter, and didn't seem keen to answer questions, just follow and move the table around with ease, this made us all laugh and spirit seemed to be in a playful mood before moving along and stopping the motion of the table quite suddenly, we thanked spirit for their energy and left them in peace to move along.



The Majestic Theatre, Darlington - 22nd June 2024

Team Members - Chris, Cam, Katie, Colin, Sonya

We started the evening a little different. We didn't carry out the welcome chat as our guests were regulars who are very familiar with how we run our events.
Chris took 6 of the guests, who have a paid membership with him to take part in the Facebook Live.
The rest of the guests headed to the Auditorium where Cam carried out the White Light Protection.

The Auditorium
Team Members - Cam, Katie, Colin and Sonya
We all stayed as one large group. Some spread out around the seats whilst others stayed on the stage.
We started calling out to spirits. It took a while before we started getting any responses to our questions.
Cam saw a small shadow person walking up the stairs. They were roughly the same height as the hand-rail. When asked if they were a little girl, we all heard a female child's voice say 'Wooo'. Sort of like the noise you make when cheering on a performance.
We decided it would be a good idea to all clap and woop, as if applauding the start of a performance. This helped a little bit and we could hear slight movement around the seats at the back of the auditorium.
Cam told the spirits that our Colin was an actor and asked if Colin could take centre stage and give a few lines. Colin did this and we all clapped.
One of the guests on the stage heard a female voice (not another guest or team member) say 'Yes'. Not long after that, Colin then heard a male voice (not a guest or team member) say 'No'. Colin was actually standing in the wings because we kept seeing a dark figure ducking in and out of the curtains. A few of the guests had also seen this.
We noticed that when taking photos, for all we could see dust, our cameras were focusing on something and then a bright object would shoot across our screens.
Sonya stood near the area where we were seeing the dark shadow going in and out of the curtains. Colin was still standing in the wings where he could see the monitor showing the CCTV.
Cam and Katie were on the stage. Cam moved over to the left of the stage as one of the guests reported seeing a bright light flashing on that side. There was nothing there but Cam placed a K2 device in that area while she continued the call out.
All of a sudden it went cold. Colin said he could see something on the monitor near me so Sonya started taking photos of Cam. Colin then said he saw something bright on the monitor flash passed Cam, at the same time Sonya had taken a photo and captured a purple/mauve light anomaly going past Cam.
All of a sudden we heard what sounded like voices coming from the door to the right of the stage. Cam said she would go and check to confirm there was no one on the other side of the door. There couldn't be, there were 3 flights of stairs and the fire exit door which was locked. As Cam went to leave the stage we all heard something land on the stage. When we shone our torches to see what it was, there was a rectangular shaped small plaque with the number 11 on it. We didn't know where it had come from or its significance but when we checked around, we found a seat at the back of the auditorium where we had heard noises from missing the number 11. It was the only seat missing its number.
We were absolutely amazed and excited that this had happened but as the plaque was quite light in weight, we didn't think it would get to the stage if thrown from that seat.
Cam went to the seat and forcefully threw the plaque to see if it would land on the stage. It did.
Who had thrown it? One of our guests (Joanne) said that when Cam was sitting a few rows in front of that area, she saw a black shadow figure standing behind her. Was this who threw it? Were they trying to stop Cam from checking the doors or just trying to attract attention?
Colin decided to sit right at the back of the auditorium, not far from the seat with the missing number. We called out and Colin said that he could smell chocolate. No one was sat near him and no one had chocolate. We worked with this and asked the spirit if that was their seat, where they would come to watch performances and possibly have some chocolate ice cream as a treat. We received a few taps, a whistle and could hear a shuffling of feet but not long after that it went quiet so we decided to have a quick break.

The Play Area
Team Members - Cam, Katie, Colin and Sonya
Equipment - Table, Ouija Board, K2, Cat Balls and Spirit Talker app
After our break we headed down to the play area which is known for its at times lively activity from a particular spirit.
After confirming it was ok to use the area (the live feed was still running), Cam and Sonya headed to the back of the play area at the lower level. A couple of other guests headed to other areas of the play area to carry out their own little call out.
Katie and Colin stayed with a small group in the seated area of the room where they carried out a Ouija board session and also some table tipping.
Cam and Sonya called out to the spirit who had previously made his presence known, and to the little girl from the traveling family who often communicates with us.
We weren't getting many responses so we tried communicating through a spirit talker app. After asking for a name, we received Hazel and then George. We were also told many times to dig, and that they had been murdered. We tried building on this information.
We could hear the table being used by the other group outside of the play area was very active. As we weren't getting much from where we were (which was unusual) we moved from out of the play area and watched the table tipping session. The table was going back and forth but actually turning too.
Not wanting to disrupt their energy, Cam took a group of guests down to the cellar and Sonya stayed in the play area room with a small group of people to carry out a Ouija board session.

The Cellar
Team Member - Cam (Equipment used: Cat Ball)
We headed down to the cellar and stood at the far end in the space between the furnace room and larger room where the other room adjoined.
Cam asked for us all to go dark. We turned out our torches and it was so dark. We couldn't see our hands in front of our faces. We were all very still. One of the guests (Joanne) placed the cat ball in the doorway of the other rooms.
We called out but it was very still. We didn't get any responses to any questions asked. It felt very flat down there. There was no shuffling, taps, noises and the cat ball didn't illuminate.
After around 15 minutes we decided to move on to another location.

The Auditorium
Team Member - Cam (Equipment used: Cat Ball, Wendy the Doll and the Table)
One of the guests had asked if we could visit the auditorium as they weren't with us all earlier. They had been with Chris during the Live Feed.
We headed to the auditorium and placed the table in the middle of the stage to try a bit of table tipping. The guests stood around the table and we began our call out. We got absolutely nothing on the table. The only slight responses we received were when we called out to the child.
One of the guests placed our doll named Wendy on one of the seats. The K2 in the doll was spiking very quickly but only between green and orange so Cam moved the doll further away from everyone just in case a mobile phone or smart watch was interfering with it.
We continued calling out and the K2 lights in Wendy the Doll would light up really bright but then dim really quickly, almost close to turning off. This continued happening in bursts.
We weren't getting any actual confirmed information and we didn't hear her voice again like earlier, so we decided to move again.

The Projector Room
Team Member - Cam (Equipment used: Cat Ball)
We went up to the projector room and spaced out as much as we could. There was a lot of equipment in the room so we made sure we were very careful.
We called out to the spirit who we have encountered there before. We had the odd bit of movement and heard a noise which sounded like something metal hitting on metal. The energy felt quite flat. We continued for about another 10 minutes and decided to move on as it was 01:10am.

The Dressing Rooms
Team Member - Cam (Equipment used: Mirrors)
We headed down to the dressing rooms and spread out among them. Cam suggested we try some mirror scrying. Cam explained what this was and how to do it. Those who were interested in taking part got themselves into position in front of a mirror and relaxed. Cam called out, referring to known facts, asking spirits to show themselves to one of the guests looking in the mirror. One of the guests' eyes looked like they had glazed over and were all white. They said they felt a little strange but thought that they had seen a change to their reflection. We didn't encounter anything further in the dressing rooms. With 30 minutes left of the night, we headed back to the auditorium and Cam asked Katie, Colin and Sonya if they wanted to try a human pendulum with all of the guests on the stage. They agreed but Sonya stayed in the cellar with a few guests.

The Auditorium
Team Members - Cam, Katie and Colin
Cam explained what a human pendulum was and how we work it.
All of the guests who wanted to take part stood in a big circle on the stage and Katie led asking spirits to choose a guest to communicate through. Our guest was chosen and happy to go into the centre of the circle. We received confirmation of 'Yes' and also for 'No'. Katie started asking questions to establish who it was we were communicating with. Once identified, a few of the guests also started asking questions.

At 01:55 we headed back to our base room where we thanked everyone and asked if they had enjoyed the evening. They had. We wished them a safe journey home and ended our night.

The Majestic Theatre never fails to amaze. That was the 1st time we've encountered something thrown in the auditorium as with previous investigations it's always been centered around the play area which was the original stage area. Looking forward to finding out more on our next visit.

K2 - no responses



Introduction to the guests some of whom had been before some were new



White light protection was completed by Cam and the guests settled around the theatre with some on the stage ( 3 guests laying on the stage / 2 guests doing their own vigil behind the stage curtain drop)



A K2 was produced and placed at the back of the stage

Sounds of footsteps on the left side of the stage and taps around the theatre

Shadows and movement around the curtains and the left part of the stage with a shadow walking up to the projection room

We were getting small taps to responses about a little girl and if she was in the theatre walking around

Some people could see shadows around the stairs and at one point whistles / and the sound of a seat squeek



At one point Cam had a strong smell of unwashed/ filthy / foul odour near the side and staircase to the projection room



Calling out to the people who had interacted with guests before , a little girl especially at the back of the theatre

Orbs and bright lights were caught on camera and on the majestic monitor which Colin was checking esp where shadows in the right side of the stage near to Cam



At one point guests could see bright orbs near Cam standing on the right as she moved off to investigate we could hear a small clatter

Thinking she had dropped something - we found a small rectangluar disc which was the seat number 11 near to where she had been standing

We checked the seats and 1 had a number 11 missing on one seat near the back row on the right side of the auditorium

This was caught on video at aprox 2215 pm and reviewed by Chris later

Earlier we checked if the number plate could be thrown from that seat at the back and it could have reached the stage

- ' overarm throwing action from Cam also caught on video' and indeed the plate landed on the stage area from the back.



Unclear if this was the little girl who had thrown the number but it was near to the seats Colin could smell chocolate

So we asked her if she liked to sit there and felt safe- taps were made in response-

she felt safer with females / she sat at the back and enjoyed her treat of chocolate

We said that would be an expensive treat in her day which got a tap back in response



Kids play area / go cart area under the soft play area

Cat balls/ K2

Strong smell of cigarettes which was unusual as far inside the gym and the doors were closed

Energiesed the board again by circliing the planchete

Eventually the planchete responded to a message for a guest

A late female relative and male relative came through with their names

Then confirmed with their catch phrase ' ShXt!' no specific message other than confirming that they could see the light and that they were their with family

We closed the board and other guests in the play area doing their own vigil came down to report that 1 had a headache- that they had reponses in the scaffold part of the gym of a very negative energy - some nasty phrases on the spirit app and were asked to move away



Break to locate the rest of the team back in the bar





Furnace room/ storage room



Sonya + Colin & small group of Guests



Furnace room 4 guests Sonya – K2 on chair by furnace

We started by calling out to the male spirit who would have working in the room

Initially getting small bangs/ taps to questions about hard work and heavy lifting with the Job, carrying coal sacks , deliveries



Eventually the K2 started to spike to the green then to the orange / red to specific questions about

Gambling, he liked a flutter usually cards , agreed he would win some and then lose - usually win and spend his money down the pub

We asked about other betting like dogs, horses and liked to follow the racing but not as much as cards.



When asked about having a drink he liked to go for a drink with his mates but especially liked brandy

Often came home drunk.

He was married and it was not a match made in heaven. Alot of fights about his gambling and drinking and womanising

He did not confirm any children at home but did confirm he brought females back to his place of work and that hearing his boots on the stairs on the last visit was him checking why we were in his space.



We tried to pin down his era - he was around for 1st world war but was too young to fight. He was around for the 2nd world war and did go to

Fight in germany. We asked what regiment he would have been in then we got strong responses to the Tank regiment.

When he was demobbed he returned to his old job in the Furnace room - he married before going to war and as we knew it wasn't a happy marriage so he indulged in his passions of betting, drinking and women. We talked about his mates in the tank regiment, he agreed did not talk about the war much and that he'd lost friends and seen upsetting stuff.



We asked if there was anyone else here, guests were getting sounds in the main storage area outside of the furnace room - we got small responses and it was one of his girlfriends / another female but they did not come forward to interact.



We thanked him for his interaction and promised to bring him the racing post next time
