The Shipwreck Treasure Museum has one of the largest private collections of shipwreck artefacts in Europe with more than 8,000 items retrieved from over 150 wrecks all under one roof.

Sitting below is one of the original, dimly lit, 18th Century Georgian passageways and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These narrow loading tunnels would have been witness to workers often being crushed under the weight of the trailers full of stock for loading onto the ships waiting below.

Charlestown was an integral part of Cornwall’s China Clay industry and with the Cornish jagged coastline, treacherous waters and wild weather its no wonder there are thought to be over 3000 shipwrecks in the Cornish region.
One of the artefact displays includes items from the S.S. Mohegan, lost off the Lizard in 1898. It is not known what caused the vessel to meet its watery fate. There are reports from divers said to have heard female screaming whilst under water and it has an understandable reputation of being a haunted wreck. Do the items recovered from the vessel hold any residual spirit energy?
The Titanic display has direct links to Cornwall as one of the lives lost on this fateful voyage was that of a young Cornishman, Frederick James Banfield. Born in Helston in 1884, he worked as a mining engineer in the Cornish tin mines. Has he returned home and will he want to tell his story?
We’d love to and intend to find out who these witnesses are seeing or if they are simply natural occurrences within the foundations.
During the investigation you will be using a wide range of equipment and experiments to gain evidence, where it exists, of potential paranormal activity. Should we be lucky enough to make contact with any resident or lingering energies, you will learn how to interpret, document and review this
