Back to our story at hand..
Meanwhile my group of lucky people were being ‘introduced’ to what we call the vortex wagon, no matter how hard you try – you cannot stand still in it. After a few minutes both the men in the wagon report that they have strange lower back pains, with one of them saying it feels like he is being pulled backwards.
Up into one of the carriages now, with Charlotte joining Amunet – together they piece together some of the past, they remark that it feels quite hostile – as though it’s been through some sort of explosion?
Just then the carriage.. HOW TO DESCRIBE IT!??? .. JUMPS! – we all feel it, there’s absolutely no reasoning for it – but the carriage moved! – the 8 of us all felt it, and with some force too, knocking us off balance, it was as though an explosion had gone off! – we’ve been investigating the railway for 3 years, been in that very carriage many times, but this was something extraordinary! – it seems the spirits certainly wanted our guests to enjoy the experience.
With the evening coming to close, it was time to wrap things up – a quick debrief by the team, and off our guests went, hopefully with a tale or two to tell. We all sat back, wow! – what a night!.. let’s hope the railway has many more secrets to tell us as we investigate it further.
A big thankyou to our hosts at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, in particular Derek Bishop for his kind help and enthusiasm with all our events – not forgetting as always the hard working Myths Team, with supporting help from Medium Amunet, Nick & Charlotte.
