Temple Meads Station Bristol 21st May 2011

Not deterred by the fact it was Judgment Day (!) we set off for this amazing building, right in the heart of Bristol, really quite excited.  We were the first paranormal group to ever investigate this location, and had been there once before on a scouting exercise. We couldn't wait to start interacting with the long-forgotten spirits of Temple Meads...

Designed by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Station took two years to build, being completed in 1841. It was the first Railway in Bristol to be used by the Great Western Railway and is now a Grade 1 Listed Building.

The name Bristol Temple Meads derives from its location in meadows in the parish of Temple church – on the site of a 12^th century Knights Templar church. 

The station also houses a dark and very haunted set of vaults, which date from the original 1870s construction. 

  

The tunnels also contain  an air raid shelter and  we also were able to investigate the cellars of Exeter House, a grand building which sits adjacent to the station.

Throughout the night, activity included stones being thrown, noises and sighs, small sparkly lights, and at one point a man had his baseball cap removed - even though we were all holding hands and he didn't feel it come off! It was only when it landed on the floor that we realised what had happened. 

A tragic victorian family, a harsh money collector and a young child were all spirits who made a connection during the evening.

Hopefully, we will visit this location again soon.  Happy hunting !
