The spirit, known as Henry – is as you can guess – not a very happy soul, and can be quite violent and unpredicatable. Time for us to experience this for ourselves! The first problem with the fort is HOW DO YOU GET TO IT ? – not very easily is the answer! A rented boat took us out to it.

Although only a small fort, once you get close up and personal by boat – this thing certainly looks daunting. Thankfully we both made the jump from ship to shore without managing to fall in! Although today the fort is in private hands and is rented out for corporate events – the lower levels have largely remained untouched. Including no lights!, as you can guess this is where our spirit likes to hang out mostly.

You’ll notice from the map of the fort – to the right – its quite mazelike! It’s possible to walk right around the parimeter and not even know it, Very dis-orientating. Keep in mind that downstairs on the bottom floor, there’s only about 2 lights!!!… and a poltergest!.

anyway, back to the story..

Down the stairs into the heart of the fort, it really is another place. Apart from the odd light, we where mainly relying on the light from the IR camcorder and our digi camera. I took some base temperature readings, surprisingly the temperature did not differ between levels – being fixed on 16 degrees.

It wasnt long before Jan had the feeling that ‘something’ was close to us. As you’ll see on the video, she noticed a shadow moving on the wall behind us. AND IT WASNT OURS !!! Off she went, chasing after it.. unfortunately not fast enough, as the shadow disappeared into one of the heavy-shell storerooms.

It wasn’t the end of it though, all through our visit strange sounds could be heard. For some of these I managed to track down the source.. an open door banging (vibrating) – a passing ship engine.. but occasionally these sounds where just NOT NICE!
