Take-off time for airfield ghost hunt

Halfpenny Green Airport has a history in aviation and military use as well as its share of notable incidents including a Royal fatality.

Now, a team of paranormal investigators will visit the site in a bid to contact the spirit world – and members of the public are invited to join them.

Paranormal Friends – a group based in Shropshire – will use a combination of investigation techniques "in an attempt to communicate with any spirits connected to the site".

Co-founder Christopher Morris said: “We are really excited at the opportunity to investigate Halfpenny Green Airport. There are so many stories we have been told about potential paranormal activity that we can’t wait to get going.

“With such a long history of RAF use as well as civil aviation, thousands of people will have links to this location.

Unexplained

“There were several incidents associated with planes from here, so perhaps we may make contact with some of the airmen who died.

“Even to the present day, people using the airport have experienced unexplained goings on. Footsteps from unseen entities have been reported and people have regularly said they hear unexplained sounds, perhaps incarnate voices.

“In the last few weeks, in an office that only one person has access to, a lapel badge has constantly been moved to a specific spot overnight.

“Might we encounter some of these spirits?”

Paranormal Friends will use Victorian style séances, table tipping, glass divination and human pendulums as well as K2 Meters, spirit boxes, Rem-Pods on the night.

The investigation takes place on October 27 between 9pm and 2am.
