Spirit Pics from the Cobourg Jail

6/22/2013

Picture
This is one of the Solitary Confinement Cells down in the basement of the Old Cobourg Jail.  As you can imagine, this place is loaded with spirits.  I was feeling a sense of fear (not mine) in this cell and I could feel spirit around me.  I was quite surprised though when I got home, looked at the pictures and when enlarged could clearly see the image of a small (child's I believe) face and hand peeking out from around the bottom of my skirt.

So what would a child be doing in a jail?  Did this jail house juveniles?  Not to my understanding it didn't.  The Cobourg jail housed inmates and homeless delinquents.  It was a holding facility for approximately ninety years....so can you imagine the number of spirits in this place?  Since it closed and was subsequently sold, it was re-opened as many things, a Pub, an Inn, a conference centre etc.  Regardless, Spirit will return to an area that they remember, had a good experience in etc. regardless of what buildings are now there.  Obviously, the property has been there much longer than the buildings.   

When we did an investigation of this jail with TV's star of Rescue Mediums Jackie Dennison, we did a séance while in the Mortuary.  I had the spirit of a young boy come through for us then.  His Grandmother used to work in the building as a maid and he would come to work with her and play in the rooms.  Could it be that young boy whose spirit can be seen peeking out from around my skirt??
 

Picture
Throughout the time I was walking around the different rooms in the jail, I clearly had the sense of a young Jail Guard accompanying me.  I was intrigued with the orb on the table in this picture.  Enlarged it looks very much like a Uniform button.  Was he sneaking into the picture with me? Photo bombed by a spirit, my kids would say! I'm sure he's smiling!


Picture
Here's another intriguing picture.  Looking down the Solitary Confinement hall.  The white glow on the Picture frame housing a guards uniform on the far wall, is the flash reflection from my camera....the orb to the right of that though again looks like my guards uniform button.  Can you find the other orbs in this picture??  Now look at the window in the Solitary Cell Door closest to the front of the picture.  Can you see what appears to be a spirit.  Best described it looks like a little entity sitting curled on his knees and looking towards the camera.  An interesting pic that I've forwarded on to my friends and members of the Ontario Paranormal team.


Picture
Apart from being really angry at my husband for closing the cell door on me.....I was intrigued that this and one other picture came out somewhat blurred.  The odd thing I find is that the left side of the picture and the bars and some of the items in the cell are clear, yet I am blurry!  Spirit manipulation??? Maybe!

Picture
This is the processing/holding room and would have been the first stop for any prisoners coming into the jail. Lots of activity in this room.

The Cobourg jail is preserved as a free museum and is housed below what is now a Pub and Inn.  The guest rooms on the main floor still have the original Jail bars as a part of the decor.  I've investigated some of these rooms too and I will promise you, you're in for a treat sleeping there. So next time you're in Cobourg stop by for a drink and a bite to eat at MacAllisters Bar & Grill and if you're feeling up to it....wander downstairs to the Jail for some spirits of a different kind.

Cheers!
Trish

Hi Trish,

My girlfriend works for the people that own the old Cobourg Jail (and MacAllister's, which is set to re-open). She is living in what used to be the chapel in the old jail (the large suite at the very top of the building). I was wondering if you were up in that room... and, if so, if you experienced anything unusual. My girlfriend's daughter (5 years old) heard a voice while trying to sleep, that said "help me reach the light". She would have never said this on her own. Knows nothing of ghosts or spirits and we never discussed the history of the jail or any disturbing details. I have have stayed there a couple of nights thus far and have heard a few weird noises (like the clanking of metal on metal) but that's about it. Right now, the jail is completely empty (rarely a guest this time of year) except for a young man (also an employee) who is living in the old jail's morgue. Crazy! lol. Regardless, it was interesting reading your article.

Cheers,
Phil

Hi Phil,
I must say you have a lovely girlfriend, ive known her since she was a waitress at a local restaurant near us. In fact we spoke last night about just this issue and yes there is a lot of activity in the chapel and a few other places in there. I've given her my thoughts and some suggestions and hope that it will be the last of it for the little one.
I would not like to be living down in the morgue, I took part in a seance down there a number of years back.
There are a lot of spirits roaming around that old place, and children are more in tune with their frequency than Adults are which is why they have asked her for her help as opposed to speaking to the adults there. I don't want to mention names online, but I've told your girlfriend to get in touch with me if she needs to, I'm more than happy to help.
Looking forward to seeing the reopening of McAllistairs, enjoyed a number of good meals there.

Hi Trish!

That was YOU she spoke to on fb last night! lol. She told me what you said. You succeeded in making her feel better. I was just checking online today, seeing if I could learn anymore about the place. Her and I actually love her new place... I do feel an odd energy in the building... but it hasnt felt negative to me... But, still, it can be unnerving. We'll be sure to come to you should we need any additional guidance.

All the best,
Phil

Yes that was ME she was talking to lol.
It's interesting that you would say that you feel and "odd energy in the building" because that's exactly what it is....odd. Some of the "haunted rooms" actually can make you feel quite ill. Not because of the spirits that haunt them, but because they just feel out of balance, like the are off kilter somehow. You almost feel like you're leaning to the side in some of the rooms. It is odd! There are no malicious energies in the place, there are some that are angry and off balance, but nothing that is malicious or harmful.
I love the place myself and I've made a connection with a young boy whose spirit plays in some of the rooms a few times that I've been there. He used to go there when he was alive with his Mum who was a maid. He drowned nearby. So if you hear what sounds like a ball rolling down the hall or giggles, it's likely him.
I'm going to get some stones over to you guys for her bedroom, likely next week.
Take care and enjoy the place, it's meant to be enjoyed by both the living and the dead.

Hi Trish,

Thanks for the additional info. Good to know that you feel nothing malicious there. The building/site would have been home to many good memories and, of course, bad memories for many individuals. It would make sense that the energy feels a bit muddled. It would be my hope that the little boy who plays there actually enjoys having us around (if he in fact knows that we're there). I agree with the feeling off balance in some of the rooms (room 18 in particular is very odd, with its sealed door halfway up the wall).

Thanks again for your help. My gf is more than appreciative.

All the best,
Phil
