I’ve been coming out here my whole life because my parents worked here and my dad’s in the navy, and my mum’s parents worked here too, so i spose it’s in the family. But never in any other time when I had come out here in my whole life had I seen the things I’ve seen in the last two years working here.

As far as I’m aware no one ever died on the dummy deck, but we have lots of aircraft from the wars, Vietnam, first world war, plus a lot of things in between.

Anyways, we put a new display in last year, and it was a mennequin of sumone in WWI, and I hadn’t seen anything weird before then, and as soon as this display got put in weird stuff started happening. No one believed me of course to start off with, but I had a weird feeling everytime I even walked passed it to be perfectly honest.

I’d be walking down to the workshop and hear foorsteps behind me but I’d be the only one in there, I’d see people walking around but it would only be me and one other person in there after hours, and our lights are automatic censors, me and my boss would be finishing sumthing in the workshop which is at the very end of the hangar, and the lights would go on up the other end. Or on days where I would be working in the shop and not the hangar, there would be no visitors in the museum and everyone in the office and the lights would come on by themselves, or I would hear footsteps on the metal grate which makes a very distinct sound.

Everyone thort I was crazy cos well, it’s kind of a running joke but then other people noticed as well, and we’d leave rooms and come back and chairs would be moved, or we’d all be in the office with the doors locked ready to go home and we’d hear what sounded like sumone trying to open the door from the ~other side. Even tho there is no way there could have been anyone out there. We’d hear footsteps in the archive and sounds like people turning pages even tho there was on two of us in there. We’d hear what sounded like footsteps coming down the hall but there was no one there, and the lights in the archive are censors too, and a few times we would go in and before we got there we could see the light on underneath the door, even tho the door was locked and there was no one in there.

Then there was the ~disappearing girl~ no body believes me still to this day about this cos apparently I was the only one who even saw her, but I saw a girl down near the workshop and she looked about my age, (I’m 20, altho I was 19 at the time), but I was helping the boys with sumthing and saw her and thort I would go around behind the aircraft, because there all on the sides of the building with walkways down the middle, I firgured it would be fairly inconspicuous, and she seemed to notice me as well, I’d never seen her before and I know just about, if not, everyone that comes in here, but this is the first time I had seen her, so I’m so down behind the aircraft and within 5 second she is legit gone, there is no way anyone could move that fast, so I went in the workshop and one of the boys was at the sandblaster which is just next to the inside of the door, so I asked him if he saw anyone outside the door, and he said he saw sumone out the corner of his eye but he thort it was just me. I asked everyone if they saw any girls of that description and I asked the girl in the shop that day if anyone had even come in that looked like that and she said no. But I know for a fact I saw her.

Then we saw a ghost on the CCTV and took a picture of it and showed everyone but they still didn’t believe us, and still don’t, and I still see people in the corner of my eyes and hear footsteps and lights still go on, I even saw a guy with a yellow face standing in front of me in the shop, and another guy next to our Sopwith Pup.

Not as much stuff happens anymore, but still things do happen, it was just really soncentrated and a lot of things happening in such a short time before after we put that display in, it’s still there but the ~activity has died down now. It’s very strange.
