wheal martyn China Clay Museum,

ST AUSTELL Public Ghost Hunt

11th July 2015

Cornwall Paranormal Research held our second official public ghost hunting event on 11th July 2015 at Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum on the outskirts of St Austell.

Wheal Martyn Museum is situated across a 26 acre site occupying the Victorian remains of two former china clay works, just two miles from St. Austell in the heart of Cornwall’s ‘Clay Country’. Today the site incorporates a visitor attraction, Accredited Museum, Scheduled Ancient Monument, woodland walks and spectacular views into the Wheal Martyn clay pit, which still operates today.

Throughout the evening the visiting group investigated various areas of the site including the former clay driers building, vehicle shed, flat rod tunnel and the museum area. They experienced activity from voices, light anomalies, moving shadows, shuffling and also the commonly recorded activity of a set of doors within the main building, opening and closing, this has been caught on the CPR cctv system. Two videos from this evening can be found on pages 57 & 58 of this review magazine.

Thanks to Luna Orbis for looking after us and the museum for giving us permission to spend the

night at the property.

Keep an eye open in 2016 for another public ghost hunt at this venue.
