I went to college there in 2016, I spent 12 weeks there, I used to see shadows sometimes in my room and in the hallway and in a couple of classrooms over in the hangars, one night a group of us asked for the squash court keys acting like we wanted to play squash but when we got in there we were getting pieces of gravel thrown at us in the left court from through the doorway and my mate got a picture of a man hanging in a noose in the viewing gallery above the court, and a chair somehow got from the top of the stairs to the bottom silently, the whole place is crawling with ghosts and wierd vibes over in the gym is wierd too, it's like your not alone in there
Oh wow amazing thanks so much for sharing your story. You definitely aren’t alone in your experiences - I have heard from lots of people who have experienced similar phenomena. In regards to the photo of the man hanging in a noose I don’t suppose you have access to this photo do you? Or can contact your friend to see if he still has it? It would be amazing to see as it’s really rare to capture an apparition on camera. There was an airman who reportedly committed suicide in the building where the squash courts are so this photo you mention would tie in with the history. Thanks again for sharing - fascinating 🙂
Many airforce bases appear to be haunted. With so much heightened tension and fear it's understandable to me that some of that still remains. Great video and love the spoken introductions.
Hi Sophie - someone contacted me recently to say there are still strange things going on here in recent times too. I’ve heard plenty of stories from people with past connections to the air base. I think there seems to be a mixture of activity going on. Some is residual i.e. almost like a playback or time slip which would help explain the old aircraft noises and mechanical machinery sounds of a working airbase. However there seems to be some spirit activity too with a definite intelligence that is very much capable of interacting with the living and our physical world. It’s a fascinating place - hopefully will get to visit one day 🙂
@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk Yes, I have heard of the "stone tape theory" but as you say there appears to be a spirit that is stuck, maybe because of the circumstances in which he died, still attached to the building. Very sad that the poor guy can't move on.
@@Sophie.S.. - it is sad. A lady contacted me to say she won a competition to spend a night in the haunted squash court and said it was all quiet on the night. This was back in the 1990s. She claimed the building had been blessed / exorcised a few years before so perhaps this particular spirit has since moved on. Thanks again Sophie - always nice to have a chat with you :)
Thank-you for watching the video and taking the time to comment. Thought this was an interesting ghost story to share as not widely known about now - was a pretty famous haunting back in its day! The squash courts are still there on site but apparently access is quite tricky to the old RAF base now since the CITB took over ownership - makes you wonder if the activity has quietened down over the years or whether the location is still quite active for paranormal happenings!
Hi James - as you say the old RAF Officer’s Mess is now The Birches and I believe it is still open - makes you wonder if any overnight guests have any ghostly tales to tell 🙂
Cheers for commenting - it was definitely interesting researching this particular RAF site - lots of unusual stories and strange phenomena reported over the years!
Thank-you - slightly different format with the audio storytelling whilst adding the visuals separately - thanks for your support and regular comments - always appreciated 🙂
My sister, Sarah was living on the Camp whilst her husband was away with the raf. He was a hunter pilot. When he came home he asked how she was. She said she was OK as the camp was so busy that she didn't feel alone. She could here all tge men at work. Her husband said it was not possible as the station was closed and inactive. There was no one there. Her married quarters were an overspill from thr active station. She heard the noises quite a few times- many times in fact. This was Bout 1964.
Hi Angela - how fascinating - it seems this was a very common occurrence in years gone-by - I’ve been contacted by many saying the same thing including late night security guards and others with close connections to the base - the phantom sounds of a working airbase have been recorded too - incredible activity seems to have occurred here in the past - thanks for sharing your story
@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk sadly nothing happened that night but our instructor that was a local man brought in the bbc tape recordings for us to listen too
Do you mean the squash court? If you are based there it’s certainly worth a trip. Are you allowed to stay there overnight or just visit during the day? A lady contacted me to say she won a competition to spend a night in the haunted squash court and said it was all quiet on the night. This was back in the 1990s. She claimed the building had been blessed / exorcised a few years before so perhaps this particular spirit of the airman has since moved on but who knows? If you get the chance it’s definitely worth a visit.
Surprised no tv ghost hunt programs have been made at this location, perhaps the medium chap that visited years ago and tried to help the spirits move on was successful?. There were more scary experiences mentioned in comments on the original video clip by CTIB students who stayed in the nearby dormitories.
I was contacted by a lady to say she won a competition to stay in the haunted badminton courts back in the 1990s but it was extremely quiet on the night. Perhaps as you say this particular spirit was moved on successfully. I’ve been contacted by many people sharing their experiences here - it’s a fascinating location 🙂
Hi thanks for commenting 🙂. That’s an interesting suggestion and could explain some of the residual sounds, as could the stone tape type theory (like a snapshot of a playback in time from the past). However in cases where the spirits are directly interacting with people in our physical world I believe this to be an intelligent haunting. Some of the spirits seem to be very much aware of our presence and our surroundings in this material world and this indicates an intelligence and understanding. There seems to be a consciousness there in some of the interactions. In my mind ghosts and spirits are different. Ghosts are a playback in time, they do the same things over and over again and are not aware of people living today, almost like an unconscious energy. Spirits however are different, they have a consciousness and are able to interact with those on the earthly plain. I think spirit entities have their consciousness focused to such a degree that they can cause manifestations on the physical level.
@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk That is exactly right! Spirits interact and revisit of there own free will. Where as ghosts, are more like a broadcast of many different versions of the past. Very similar to TV as a medium.
Exactly - sometimes there is a misconception that ghosts and spirits are the same but actually they’re quite different. Spirits to me are more interesting as they have an intelligence and are able to interact directly with our earthly realm.
Hi - I think the activity has possibly faded now to some extent - heard plenty from people who once worked there years ago but not so much from anyone in more recent times - thanks for commenting
More nonsense about RAF Station ghosts. I heard my first ghost story at Leeming in 1956. A Halifax had been shot that had been piloted by a S/Leader Halifax. It was said he sometimes could be seen descending by parachute over the station.🤣🤣
Those who know their Bibles see the devil's game. Devils can impersonate anyone. This is why the LORD commanded to have nothing to do with the dead! Moses in Deuteronomy 18:9-13 lists every cultic practice that plays the world the fool! The world's wisest man to ever live, King Solomon said it plain enough: "the dead know not any thing," "for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave;" and thus "shall be as though they had never been." This is why the Bible calls death "sleep." Everyone sleeps "the sleep of death" until the resurrection, "for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ."

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk Wow, I Hope you do!, perhaps enlist Ian Lawman or any of the other Pros?
Fascinating and tragic bit of local history. Great video thank you.

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk Im sure the energy remains, so much happened there.
From what I can see, the former officers' mess was converted into a hotel called The Birches. Not sure if it's still operating though

I was at bircham for a year scaffolding course in 1980 and stayed in the squash court one night
Hi Mick any interesting occurrences or all quiet on the night?@@mickharryman985
@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk sadly nothing happened that night but our instructor that was a local man brought in the bbc tape recordings for us to listen too
thanks Mick appreciate you sharing your experience@@mickharryman985
Great video this 👌
Cheers Sean - it is an intriguing story - I thought it was the perfect time of year for a ghostly tale with the cold dark nights now drawing in 🙂
Excellent thank you. Subbed.
Thank-you 🙂
Thankyou - very interesting!
Thank-you for watching and taking the time to comment - pleased you enjoyed the video 🙂
4:10;that'll be a racquet/racket NOT a bat,it's not Cricket.
Love your channel btw😉👍🏻
Thank-you :)
Me and my mates who are on camp are thinking of going.. you think there’s any point?

Like and shared out. 👏
Thank-you 🙂
No problem 😊
Is this where the construction training place is now
Yes occupied by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) now

Very likely the sounds heard are from a parallel reality of that time.

@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk It goes to show, there is so much we don't understand. The "paranormal" belongs to the dark energy realm.
Very interesting comments. Thank you both.
Some things are best left well alone.
Hi - I think the activity has possibly faded now to some extent - heard plenty from people who once worked there years ago but not so much from anyone in more recent times - thanks for commenting
Absolutely daft. I worked on a WW2 RAF base for 20 years and saw nothing.
Some people can't see them. I never have. But others have.
love our team go there poor souls linger there def haunted place
Thanks Geraldine - I’ve had many people with past associations with this site contact me with strange stories which they are unable to explain

No such thing as ghosts
Just kindred spirits.
