History of building

Turn of the century building, used to be a carriage house at one time. Owned at one time by Scott W.J. and Son Carriage Parts. More historical data needed. In the last 5-8 years, gone through many businesses.

Staff have reported different phenomena at different times of the day and night:

  • Shoulders have been touched
  • Hair pulled
  • Ashtrays pushed off edge of tables
  • Extreme drop in temperature changes in certain areas
  • Bottles and glasses rearranging themselves
  • Bottles clanking together
  • Distinct outline of a person appeared behind a curtain and no one was there
  • Black shadows seen going across the wall
  • Black wraith-like shadow passed between two people talking
  • Lights going on and off with no one touching the switch
  • Sounds of a person going up and down the stairs

Note: Pictures of upstairs lounge area on eastside show human face poking through the curtain and some kind of animal type face like a rabbit in the wall. This was discovered one week after the investigation. There was also a knock downstairs from behind the bar during the middle of the investigation. There was no activity that we could determine in the crawl space or in the storage area in back of kitchen. Rona had some feeling something was “there” in the right side staircase but nothing concrete.

Megan interviewed Darin and got his thoughts, the reports from his staff, and some facts about the building. While she was interviewing him, Rona wrote down her impressions of “what” was in the room.

Man, 35-40 years:

  • Dapperly dressed, pressed suit (plaid or pattern on it)
  • High collar white shirt with tie
  • Brown hair, black-brown eyes and mustache
  • Very picky, dark, brooding, fastidious, likes everything in it’s place.

We called him Dapper Dan!

Notes by Rona

After Megan finished interview with Darin, Megan and I compared notes on the entity in the main part of the bar. Megan had also picked much of the same characteristics. Darin stated that the stairwell to the right of the bar was the one where the most activity happened. I had a definite pull to the other stairwell and I felt something either wanted to come down the stairs or was up the stairs.

The Stairwell to the roof – 2nd entity

Greatest pull was here. When I started up the stairs I had a feeling of oppression. There was a feeling also of “you shouldn’t come up here”. At this time Megan was at the bottom of the stairs and she called to me to move to the other side of the stairs. I didn’t know why at the time. When I got to the top I had started to take a couple of pictures, then I swung around sharply and snapped a picture going down the stairs. When I checked on the screen for what I had, I saw I had captured a vortex cascading across the picture screen.

Megan then told me she wanted me to move to the other side of the stairs because a black shadow was coming up the wall behind me.

Megan was doing a “sit” at the top of the roof top stairs to see if she could pick anything up. I had gone over to the other staircase to take some EVP recordings. When I came over to her staircase she was starting to come down. Morgan and I decided to go up the stairs and open the door to the roof. We tried the latch several times and it would not budge. It was like it had been welded together. Then we had commented that we should get Darin to give us a hammer so we could give it a couple of blows to loosen it, when a huge “thud” came through from the other side of the steel door. It took us completely by surprise.

Note: The thud apparently was not captured on tape.

The impression that I have of this entity is that it is not truly human-like. It is trapped in this one area and can’t go to the other parts of the building. There is a lot of despair and anger coming from it.

Sitting in the upstairs lounge trying to tap into whatever resides in the building. The only impression I could get is the name “rabbit” or “bunny”. Don’t know quite what this means. Nickname? Someone had a hutch of rabbits on the roof at one time? This person killed the animals up there with a baseball bat or some kind of thick wood object and bashed them through their wire cages. Now they are attached together.

There were 2 female spirits also residing in the Guilty as well as the fractured “not-human-like” spirit in the stairwell.

Additional Investigations

NOTE: The EVP’s we pulled out of the Guilty were growls, screams, “yes”, “that’s not my vodka” and a long conversation with Dapper Dan and the women in the stairwell with him becoming angry and screaming at them.

Recorded on January 18th, 2004, in the stairwell that leads up to the roof in the Guilty Martini. Approximately 7:15 pm to 7:35 pm. Rona was the recorder and she was alone in the stairwell with paranormal investigator Ben and Darin, the nightclub owner, in the adjoining room. Nothing was moved during the recording, there was no other activity (apart from paranormal) in the vicinity.

Tower of London & Hampton Court Palace

Posted by Paranormal Rona on April 3, 2009

Wow, the Tower of London!

A place that is haunted but the spirits are very mischievous and are always one room ahead or behind you. My favorite parts are the Ravens outside. Thor is the main guy and it is fun to watch him strut around as if he is in charge of the whole place. Makes you think he is a reincarnated King in a bird’s body.

Lots of tourists are at the Tower; unfortunately it makes it slightly difficult to pick up clear images of spirits in the buildings. I took quite a few pictures and we did capture some strange things. 2 of the pictures were taken by my sister Corey, who lives in London.

Highly recommended you visit this attraction if you are interested in history or ghosts!

Take a look at our pictures and see what you can find.

Hampton Court Palace

We had to go to Hampton Court to see where the famous Hampton Court ghost closed the open emergency doors in the famous video.

HamptonCourt

The Palace is a phenomenal structure and the gardens are absolutely out of this world. We were not allowed to take photos inside most parts of the palace. So unfortunately in the rooms where I had strong impressions, we could not record with a camera to see if we could capture phenomena unseen to the naked eye.

In the Queen’s State area my throat became constricted and I lost my voice for 5 minutes. There was an upset female soul who came through and was scared and repeating “You have to make him understand. He is wrong, I know.” Then near the end of the Queen’s area there was a threatening female spirit near the Queen’s bedchamber, hunched over saying “Get out of my house.”

There is a corridor outside the building that takes you to a washroom area. In that corridor (Lower Orangery) I was pulled toward this one window and had the impression of a distraught woman with the phrase “I didn’t know it would happen” repeating over and over again. She gazes out onto the courtyard, and is filled with massive amounts of guilt. That is probably what is keeping her here on earth.

If you notice in the gallery, the picture that shows Ben and Rona sitting in front of one of the doors leading out of part of the building, has tiny visible piece of uniform behind them. It is at a strange height and the photographer never saw anyone in the doorway or behind the couple.

If you ever go to Hampton Court, talk to Ian at the information desk and he will tell you all about the ghosts.
