Your chance to discover ghoulish goings-on at Perthshire POW camp

-

because we have not been to Comrie before. Other paranormal teams are waiting to see our results to see if they will go there too.

“Evenings like this have been held for the best part of three years. For the last two years we have been holding one every month and every time they are sold out.”

Those who attend the spooky evening will be trying to contact those on the other side themselves, which Gordon says is a bonus.

He explained:“The guests are doing the experiment­s themselves. We will set up the equipment and monitor it, but after that it is all the guests.

“We make sure no one is in danger and no one is getting frightened, but otherwise it is really authentic. That is the most successful part.

“We have heard a lot and read a lot of documents that members of staff and the public have heard noises and seen unexplaine­d activity at Cultybragg­an, that’s enough for us to go and see what’s going on.

“Let’s see what we can unearth and tap into – and maybe we will even find out more about the history of the place.

“We have got a lot of results in the past that have needed further investigat­ion and lead to us finding out new informatio­n.

“Once during an investigat­ion in Midlothian we found people were communicat­ing with children. We couldn’t figure out why because it was a former World War Two hospital and then a psychiatri­c hospital.

“However, after further investigat­ion with the NHS we found out part of it used to be a maternity unit, which was new informatio­n and explained why there were children and young spirits coming through.

“We hope to have a similar success and unearth some secrets about Cultybragg­an.”

Gordon said it is better to know less about the history of the POW camp before going, as that makes the informatio­n gathered at the paranormal investigat­ion evening more fresh and real.

He continued:“I have never visited Cultybragg­an before, and I’ve tried not to read too much about it before going because then what we get coming through is quite fresh like the names, ages, whether they are young or old, what did they die of.

“Guests need to go in with no preconceiv­ed ideas or informatio­n so what they are getting on the day is from themselves.

“It is not about going around with a camera and pretending to be possessed for the television.”

The evening costs £30 for an adult and tickets can be bought online at www.ticketsour­ce. co.uk/CentralThe investigat­ion will run from 9pm until 3am and any results found during the event will be published afterwards.
