Mysterious hidden door welded shut in 'haunted' building opened for first time
A mysterious hidden door welded shut behind a fake wall in a 'haunted' building has been opened for the first time.
Marie and Steve Wesson, owners of Nottingham's Haunted Museum , discovered the venue's only metal door under a layer of plasterboard when they acquired the old Mapperley picturehouse last year.
It was sealed shut in an emergency exit chute with plugs and electrics fitted over it, and sinister rumours circulated about its past.
"During investigations (at the museum, recently ranked the 29th most haunted place in the UK by supernatural website higgypop.com), we've had voice recordings of someone saying 'don't open the door' and 'don't open the door' with a sinister laugh after.
"It put me off (opening it)," says Marie, who also claims to have heard scratching coming from inside the sealed room on numerous occasions.
But on Thursday, along with a group of seven paranormal enthusiasts, they finally cracked it open.
Inside, Marie claims they found a five-pointed pentagram star made from charcoal, a grubby old teddy bear and a collection of white candles burnt to their stubs.
"Since we've opened it, a few people have complained of having headaches .
"My daughter, who never gets headaches, got a really bad pressure behind her eyes," says Marie, who isn't bothered by sceptics or non-believers.
