On the 22nd of July 2013, Bir Mula Heritage hosted its second paranormal evening. The following is a message from Ramon Miles, the famous British ghost hunter:

“I would like to thank everyone who turned up for the event and their participation throughout the evening. It was a pleasure to meet you all and I look forward very much to meeting you all again at another ghost hunt.

There was so much activity it is hard to know were to start. The most interesting activity for me was when a male spirit took fancy to Iris and let his presence be known by various methods. There were hot and clod spots, guests were being touched on there shoulders, arms, neck and legs. Different smells, shadows, orbs … the list goes on.

Many thanks to John Vella for his very useful input into the background of the museum, which in some cases confirmed what some of us were feeling, sensing and seeing. Thanks also to the organisation of the event via Charlie and of course the lovely Daniela who brought along John for security who as we know had a very interesting experience himself and of course young Joseph who was also experiencing activity.

But most of all thank you to the guests who came along.

Happy Ghost Hunting,

Ramon”
