So you'll be there about 2.30ish? The car park to the museum will be closed but there's a couple of roads on the right as you approach the museum - you can park down there. The gate and footpath are right in front of the museum.
Sue and I will be there about 2.30 then.

Yeah sounds good to me. Would be nice to do something on the way but also could do without too much of a mad rushing round weekend.
Are you two going to do the house/castle? If so if you take some pics and do a little report we can put them on the site ;D

Yep we will have a walk around outside of Cowdray House, take some pics, and see if we can find the spirit of a bear at Verdley Castle

Guys with regards to the hanger or a long building that has activity at Tangmere can we confirm or not that someone hung themselves there? Possibly from or with a parachute?
Simmons and Flemming are names connected also.
Also the name Michael and Dunfirmlin or however you spell it. (place in Scotland)
Does anyone have a leaflet or know the history that this makes sense to?

There's not that much info on the website - I think a visit to the museum is needed. Did you pick this up after we left? So the names Michael and Dunfermline are connected with the airfield? (By the way, I stand corrected, it was Barnes Wallace who invented the bouncing bomb!)

I have found out though that it looks like the three hangers are original. The derelict building is a Night Watch Tower - used to look out for night-time Luftwaffe raids, and it would have had a control tower at the top. Can't find any connection with the names - think the museum is the only place that will be of any help

Going north-west from Edinburgh, Dunfermline is just over the Forth Road Bridge.

I've been having a look on the web to see if we can confirm the names Michael, Simmons or Lemming in connection with Tangmere Airfield. Unfortunately I haven't found anything yet. Still looking though ;D However I did find the this link www.paranormaldatabase.com/aviation/pages/avdata.php?pageNum_paradata=2&totalRows_paradata=86in which I found this - Screaming Women Location: Tangmere - Aviation Museum Type: Haunting Manifestation Date / Time: Unknown Further Comments: Killed by a bomb during World War Two, members of the Woman's Auxiliary Air Force can still be heard screaming on this site I found this interesting I did connect with an image of a women, dressed in uniform, standing on top of the watch tower. She was leaning on the railings facing away from the field. The caption just says that the screaming is heard on the site but not exactly where on the site so I can't confirm that the woman on the tower is definitely one of the women connected with the bombing. I mentioned the uniformed woman to Teresa and also Steven too, I think. I took several pictures of the area and think I may have got a couple of orbs though I can't confirm this yet as I havent had chance to check the pictures on the computer yet.

Well done finding that Sam, I've been looking high and low and couldn't find anything! I've also captured a few orbs in exactly the same place as you did on the control tower! I'll keep looking to see if I can find anything else

Thanks Teresa,
It did take some finding but I'm pleased I kept looking. I was a bit surprised that I connected the the image of a woman though it was likely that women would have been based at the airfield too, as I think I mentioned to you last night. I would have thought that it would have been a pilot that would have come through stronger, though being killed in a bombing is a traumatic way to die.
I hope you enjoyed the investigation last night by the way. Thanks to you and Sue for coming. ;D. Next time we go back will have to be in warmer weather and with bigger torches to see all the pot-holes and doggy stuff ;D

Thanks Sam - I enjoyed it, even though it was a bit nippy! Shame Sue couldn't stay though.
Next time we'll have to visit the museum. Interesting about the woman you picked up on - I expect there were quite a few women based there.

Just wanted to add this bit of info that I've found regarding Tangmere, as we hope to go back some time.... The museum is located on the edge of Tangmere Airfield - a former Battle of Britain airfield. Many visitors to the museum have deep feelings of unease in the Battle of Britain Hall, along with dropping of the temperature and sounds of women screaming. During 1996 a visitor found it impossible to lead her dog through this part of the museum. "The animal crouched on the floor, growing and apparently badly frightened and simply refused to move." (Told to Andrew Green in his book "Haunted Sussex Today".) There have also been unusual things experienced by security guards in the vicinity. One of the guard dogs refused to walk across what was the parade ground at night, and another guard reported seeing a woman who disappeared when he shone vehicle lights on her. One of the site researcher's has friends who keep their horses in a paddock close to the edge of the airfield and often ride along bridleways on it's peripheral edge. These friends say they have heard the sound of a World War II fighter coming in to land at the airfield, right over the top of their heads, but have seen nothing, although the horses have been badly spooked.
