INTRODUCTION

With much excitement we make our annual return to the Old Sessions House in Clerkenwell. Back in the summer of 2007, we were the first ever paranormal group to hold vigil at this truly historical capital landmark. The location and its alleged poltergeist activity did not disappoint. Come and join us once again as we look into the Old Sessions House and its dark historical past.

PARANORMAL ACTIVTY

LPS were drawn to this location by the many reports of regular poltergeist activity and apparitions. Heavy doors were slamming on their own, freezing cold breezes swept around the heated rooms, piles of chairs were pushed over, and a full bodied apparition of a Victorian gentleman was witnessed walking down one of the many stairwells. On certain autumn afternoons around sunset, a lady dressed in grey has been seen sitting on a staircase adjacent to the main bar and after a few minutes gently floats up the stairs. A presence of the other spectre can be felt in one of the second floor rooms, which can feel damp, cold and forbidding to some! Many of the staff are very nervous of the building and recall lots of personal stories of alleged haunting behaviour.

HISTORY

The Old Sessions House is situated on Clerkenwell Green, Central London. When it opened in 1782, it was the largest court house in England. Of all the London courts, the Sessions House had the worst reputation for the harshness of its sentencing. Criminals were duly flogged, sent to the stocks or pillory, incarcerated in one of its three local prisons , transported to the colonies or worse, hanged, drawn and quartered. Now a conference centre and freemasons headquarters, the building is never far from its distant past. Deep within the bowels of the building, the cells have now been transformed into the dungeon bar. The green was also known as a place of execution and had its very own pillory and watch tower. The infamous executioner Hangman Cratwell himself was hung on the green after being caught stealing. Incidentally, tunnels running underneath the courthouse are said to lead to the infamous and haunted Clerkenwell House of Detention. Is there a connection between the two?
