Steve Mera of Manchester’s Association of Paranormal Investigators(MAPIT) and Training has kindly provided Wythenshawe365 with the following summary of some of the paranoral activity in Wythenshawe. There’s been a number of investigation and occurances in Wythenshawe over the last 30 years.
In 1980 there was a large circular object seen hovering over Wythenshawe Park. Seen by at least 12 witnesses outside the Royal Oak Public House which is now a McDonalds. The sighting was only as short as two
minutes but all witnesses reported the same object.
There have been numerous reports of paranormal phenomena. Wythenshawe Park has had its main share of them with Phantom white ladies seen at the window of the Hall and outside the Hall at nioght carrying a lantern of some sort. Monks have regularly been seen
in the grounds of the hall and occasionally the strange sound of gunfire and battle scenes.
A few houses around the Wythenshawe estate have also been associated with paranormal experiences. Apart from Baguley Hall, which derives its name from the Bigalow Baguley family from the U.S. Several council house tenants have reported phenomena. One such families disturbances were investigated in 1996 after reporting their problems to the local coucil office. They later were moved to another home. At the time they blamed a
kitchen fire on the disturbances. Strange hand marks were appearing on the ceilings in the home. More recently there have been reported phenomena taking place in a warehouse in Sharston, Wythenshawe. We are currently monitoring it. A house on Gib lane which has recently been sold due to the family not wanting to stay in because of the disturbances was documented.Childrens toys moving of their own accord and other
items around the house was often found disturbed from their normal resting place. The family quickly vacated.
