Burwell Windmill and Museum : Investigation No 68 : 30/05/26

Burwell Windmill and Museum is tucked away in an unassuming housing estate. Once in the museum grounds, you find out just how large the site is, with buildings and vehicles of a bygone age. There is a wealth of local history on display here, with very good facilities and information. The staff are also very helpful, well informed and dedicated. This would be our first visit here; what would we find as daylight turned to night?
It had already started for ​Chris, while she was sitting in the tea room, someone called Alice was whispering in her ear…

The Barn
Here, we settled down to two minutes of silence to get a feel of the building. The names that came to people were shared, and are here…Henry, Caleb, Reg, and Jonah or Jonas. At this point Chris could also see someone sitting near a fireplace that was in the barn. Up in the roof of the barn was a second floor; we could hear noises coming from upstairs. Later, we found that there was a loose part of the barn exterior, flapping and knocking on the side of the building, but the sounds seemed too varied to all have been from this source. Additionally, Chris and a guest were standing at the foot of the stairs and they both felt a draught as if something passed between them, heading upstairs.

Human Pendulum
With our guest chosen we started our pendulum experiment. We appeared to have contact with Julia, a young girl of 11. It was her who Chris saw near the sink, she was here with other spirits but none were family. Further questions let us know that she was happy there and wanted to talk to us. Apparently, she lived there with her parents, who also worked there and she was washing clothes when a fire broke out. Julia tried running to escape, but she, her father Richard, and the rest of her family died in the conflagration. At this point I felt a sharp blow to the left side of my head. There is also a young boy’s spirit here and the year 1837 seems to have significance. The Alice app could only give us the word ‘boy’, and the letter ‘N’.

The group now split into two teams.

TEAM A : Nicky, Eddie, Jo, Caron, Matt. L, Mark.

The Barn
The Light Box was set up under the stairs.
A guest used a Spirit Box with headphones (Estes), and we deployed the robot on the floor.
Investigators called out for spirits to emerge, we knocked and asked them to explicitly copy this action. We asked for spirits to come forward while all team members actively introduced themselves.
A RemPod device was placed directly in the middle of the room.
We formally asked if Alice was still here with us in the room.
We set the tipping table up in the room, with the addition of a glass to hand.
We explained to guests how physical table tipping mechanics work, and soon the table began to move slightly.Being specific, we asked if the spirit entity could move the table towards the specific guest they wanted to communicate with. After a short period, the table began to move dynamically again. We attempted to build up environmental energy by stamping our feet and rubbing our hands together. Our guests asked if the spirits could rock the table side to side: 'Alice, is this you? If yes, rock the table.'
The figure of a man was observed by the stairs: 'Richard, did you want to come forward?'
We identified that laughter from the group seems to move the table. Significantly much more responsiveness when we tried to engage with Sarah.
As the guests grew more confident, they began to ask direct questions over the table with definite physical movement.
Richard was actively attempting to talk to the ladies in the group.

The Windmill
We started the session with a dedicated moment's silence to begin with. The names Reginald and Godfrey came to mind.
The Windmill consists structurally of multiple floors accessed via a steep but safe staircase located in the corner. Key features include highly preserved original internal equipment maintained with historical pride. All original operational gears and windmill mechanisms remain fully installed.
We placed a few distinct trigger objects around the room, including cat balls, and a dead bell.
Matt experienced the feeling of a broken nose. Investigator asked: 'If you were a boxer, is this where you got punched?'
We called out systematically, asking if a spirit could move directly towards the K2’s green baseline light, or if we knocked, could they replicate/copy the action. There was distinct physical cat ball activity noted on top of the iron object in the room.
Some of the guests gathered closely around the table to use the glass, and the spirit board began to try to establish clear contact with many possible spirits, by using the table interface to spell out their names.
Several K2 meters flashed up to yellow a couple of times sporadically, whilst one specific K2 meter went fully to red briefly during interactions.

The Vehicle Shed
Here, we noticed a strong, localised smell of smoke manifested in the space. There were several vintage vehicles here, including a bus.
On several occasions, we observed flashing lights on the K2 meters, denoting activity in this area. We got the distinct impression of active physical movement outside the bus.
Matt systematically tapped on the side panelling of the bus, requesting spirit to repeat this action.
Names received in this area were George & Samuel.
One of the guests used dowsing rods to confirm a presence named Richard.
Guests used a planchette with the Ouija board near the bus. First letter of the name came out clearly as 'R'. We discovered that this was Richard. The information we got was very basic; he worked with the animals, and he passed in 1807, in a fire. After this, the planchette moved itself to goodbye!

Next came the writing planchette - again we received the letter R, with the planchette moving continuously over the sheet of paper, followed by a perfectly formed number ‘8’!
We received the following words from the Ovilus. Cube, Ceiling, Robert, Smell, Eighty, Finished, People, purified, nana, and lady. IT WON’T HAVE ESCAPED YOUR ATTENTION THAT HERE WAS THE LINK FOR THE LETTER R FROM THE WRITING PLANCHETTE!
And the NEXT EXCITING BIT OF NEWS…We received the following words from the Estes; Some, weeks, EIGHT, in front of me, eighty-five.
A very satisfying end to Team ‘A’s session, I hope you’ll agree!

TEAM B : Chris, Louis, Janice, Hannah, Terry

The Vehicle Shed
This was a large building, containing both motorised and non-motorised vehicles, some very old. Chris could hear sounds of a vehicle being started with a starting handle. The main attraction is an old single decker bus, which the public can access, and most of the group decided to sit in the bus, while a few remained outside it. Sitting in the bus was very calming and serene, until the bus started to move! We assumed that some people had moved about and rocked the bus, but trying to move or rock the bus failed, as it was too solid and heavy. A presence of a woman called Alice was sensed, wearing a blue dress, fur coat and red lipstick, a ‘tarty type’. When asked if she liked going out with airmen, there were three replies, a smirk, ‘too right’, and ‘how did you know?’ During our time in the garage there were tapping sounds coming from all around, but we felt it was not simply the building cooling down. The back end of the bus felt unpleasant as you walked around it. The Estes provided us with the names of Henry, while Terry came out three or four times ➡️ Listed in the Education room were three boys called Terrance who won a scholarship to a grammar school. The bus was used in the village for many years.

The Education Room
The education room is very hot. There is a working telephone exchange system connected to information telephones for visitors to use which creates the heat. There is also an area representing an old-fashioned school. When Hannah entered the room first, she reported a feeling of going through cobwebs, this is usually said to be indicative of a spirit being present. Our quiet time only produced the names of Marshall, and Stephen, and the sound of a transistor radio. Old radios and other old equipment were on display here. Some people had the sensation of being touched. The Estes produced the name of ‘Stephen’, and other notable words were ‘naturist, some forms of communication’, and ‘2007’. Using the Ouija board, someone came up with the name of Florence Carter, who was the head teacher of the local school. A high-pitched squeal was heard as well as some whispering from a corner of the room.

The Barn
Throughout our time here there were various taps, knocks and bangs from upstairs, and a man’s voice was heard coming from a corner on the ground floor. Several people had head or eye pains during our time here and Jamie saw a figure of a man with one eye. A guest said that his back went hot, coupled with feeling a lot of pain in it. During table tipping, there was slight movement, and someone picked up on a little girl called Annie. During a Ouija board session, we contacted a man called Michael who was 46 and a farmer. He added that he had a beard and there were six spirits in the room, five of them men, and no animals. Another male then came through, he was Colin, he died in 2016 aged 26 in a car crash, and had damaged an eye and a lung. This may explain why several of us experienced eye pain…
Colin had lived locally and was standing behind a guest working on the Ouija board. It was a very emotional session.

The Mill
The bottom of the mill tower was small and cramped. We got some Estes interaction with ‘it’s just a habit, wallet, dirty hoe, woof woof, I speak’. When we asked “do you work here”, the answer came back, ‘hope I’m not’.

Free choice - The Barn
Back to the barn for a third time, but the atmosphere felt different to the other times. Hannah had a feeling like a deep itch in the back of her throat, and later felt a presence behind her. Asking if Richard was still there, a K2 meter flickered. There was a smell of apples, as if they had been in storage for some time and were about to turn bad. Chris could see Richard wearing a farming smock. One of our guests tried mirror scrying and saw her face turn to that of a man with a beard and looking grumpy. This then changed to a man with mutton-chop whiskers. Guests that walked around the laundry area in the barn reported a laundry smell, despite the fact that there were no flakes of soap or soap present.

What a great evening in the open air this was on a lovely sunny (slightly windy) Wednesday in May, something a bit different for the team and so much fun!
We had a few passers by who wondered what we were up to, but from one curious couple who approached us we’ve actually acquired another investigation, so we’re pleased about that, watch this space! 🤗
I’m sure we’ll be going back to Bawsey at some point as we got some good results here with a fair bit of interesting information being picked up by us and our equipment.

Investigation No. 67 : Bawsey church : 27/05/26

Bawsey church is now a derelict ruin to the North East of King’s Lynn. Norman in origin, when a local land owner cleared the existing village for land to graze sheep, unfortunately it meant that the church was isolated from the village it served. Falling into disrepair, it was last used functionally in the late 1700s, when a Priest would hold a service there once a year. It is now a grade 1 listed building.

THE TEAM: Nicky, Eddie, Jo, Hannah, Terry, Mark.

Arriving at the ruins there was no initial sense of anything there, but there was a feeling of being observed, and humming was heard in the aisle we were using as our start point. We set out REMpods and catballs, while this was being carried out Nicky heard some raspy breathing while with my eyes closed I ‘saw’ something block out the sun as it passed behind her. Despite opening my eyes there was nothing visible and we were the only people up there. Nicky then started playing some monastic chanting. This changed the atmosphere in the church to something pleasant, and the energy ramped up. Some of the K2s started to flicker; we asked how many spirits were with us…… one of us said 15, at which a K2 went to yellow and someone else got a response on the K2 when mentioning the name of ‘Fran’. When asked if they liked the music, another three K2’s went to yellow. Buoyed by our success we asked if they could answer by using the K2, at which a meter immediately went to orange. One thing we are sure about, is that the meters only lit up when we asked questions and no other time.

Using a Hexacom word generator we got some communications which included ‘occult & Beelzebub’. It was at this time Hannah started using the Estes method, which also led to some amazing results! We asked them to “talk to us”, which was replied with, ‘go away you’re droning on’. We then asked “don’t you like us here?”, only to be answered with, ‘I’ve had enough, please for the love of God, it’s holy time, the whole lot of ya, witch’. Surprisingly the next thing to come was, ‘pay up doll’. Confused, we replied with “what for?”, ‘offering God, the church coins’, in the basket, drop it’. Searching for some coins, Mark found some and placed them on the ground in front of Hannah. The reply came through Hannah, ‘goodbye, Christ be in the your name’. We appeared to have appeased them!

Things became a little stranger.

Hannah continued with ’he’s coming’, ‘hump’, and ‘that would be helpful’, possibly with hump referring to the mound the church is situated on. Following this the rest of the group started walking behind Hannah, heading to the central tower and asked “can we come this way?” - ‘you know you can’ was the answer. Bear in mind that Hannah can still neither see or hear anyone. The words kept coming in a continuous flow, with a serious tone, ‘he took his own life and all his family, I hate protestants, burn, you can burn, accuse him, clairvoyant, you know what you are, burn sinner burn, Joanne sinner burn’. At this point Nicky said something to be countered with, ‘Nicky burn’. As if this was not enough Hannah continued in the same vein, ‘in God he’s here, in grace of name, feel the pain, condemn, you, you are a nut, kill naughty you, sinner, holy water, one down one across, forehead (crossing yourself?), the spirit, witch she’s a witch, women expensive’.

In an attempt to initiate a more ‘normal’ conversation,. we requested that whoever it was should speak with us, to which the answer was ‘I will’, followed by ‘abolish the witch, revenge’. In asking “revenge for what”, we were treated to another tirade, ‘sin, I’m not happy in God’s church on God’s Earth, sir, watch, nasty, brave of you, porky, oink oink, I made you, negative, leave, fine then girl, behind you on the wall, behind you x3’. With this last remark, turning round to look, Jo was sitting on the wall behind both Hannah and myself, obviously unseen by Hannah.

After this it was as if there was a change in the person contacting us as the language and subject changed dramatically. Starting with ‘idiot’ we went on to hear ‘archway, do you mind, cretin, move move’. When we said we did not want to move, we were told again to ‘move’. Reiterating that we came with respect, we were answered with, ‘where, I don’t respect you’. We then seemed to revert back to our original ‘religious spirit’, giving us ‘burn burn, witch witch witch, evil, clairvoyant that is a fact, North East, you’re in my way, daytime, go on, come look at ya, you people, he was good looking once, good looking, Edward, oink, I’m sorry x2, I can’t answer you, come near, I think I can, I’m a priest, I don’t believe in it, speaking to you, bible’.

A young couple had arrived to visit the church and had entered from behind Hannah, they were speaking quietly with the other members of the team.

Suddenly the Estes gave us ‘get off the phone’. Looking round, I could see that one of them was on their phone. The next message was ‘follow me, Facebook’! Asking the person if they were on Facebook the answer was confirmed, they were! The Estes said ‘you’re right’! At this point, Hannah was still blindfolded, and as such wouldn’t have realised that anyone had joined us, or hear any dialogue. The religious overtone continued as we heard ‘she’s a sinner’. Discussing what to do next, the Ouija board was mentioned, only to be met with ‘not in my house’!
​
We heard the word ‘Pappi’ on the Alice app. Interestingly, the word ‘pappi’ means Father or Dad in many European languages. In addition to this, at this time the area would have been deeply involved in the Hanseatic league trading, and in the Finnish language ‘pappi’ actually means ‘priest’, which obviously bears relevance to our location.
There were some strange sounds heard here, but they were most likely from the wind blowing around and through the many craggy and holed parts of the stonework.
With darkness closing in, and the mosquitoes and gnats wanting to get better acquainted with us, we decided to leave this ruinous edifice of Norfolk’s past.
