We visited Dorchester Museum where ghostly sightings have been reported where visitors have reported of witnessing the "Hanging" Judge Jeffery's and one paranormal ghost hunting team have actually caught on camera of what they believe to be an image of Judge Jeffery. Judge Jeffery was known as the hanging judge because he was so brutal that he became known as the hanging judge. The trials were held at several places but the main centre was Taunton where the rebel army had assembled. Jeffreys sentenced 200 to hanging and another 800 to transportation to the West Indies. Monmouth himself was beheaded on Tower Hill in London on 15 July.
At Moyles Court at Ellingham in Hampshire, a 70 year old dowager was accused of hiding two fugitives from Sedgemoor, and Jeffreys condemned her despite her age. Her sentence was to be burned to death, suggesting that Jeffreys took her to be a witch. In fact, the sentence was commuted to beheading and she is now one of the many headless ghosts of Britain.
Judge Jeffreys attended many of the hangings in person, and his ghost is said to haunt several west country locations as well as his own home at Walton on Thames. He used to dine and drink at the Prospect of Whitby public house at Wapping in London. This old pub famously has staging over the river and is still a pleasant place to sit in summer, but Jeffreys liked to watch the executions of criminals across the river at “Execution Dock.” Condemned pirates were hung over the river at low tide, and were not cut down until they had been washed by three tides. This is reminiscent of the ancient fertility ritual of the Jack in the Green, who was paraded in a decorated basket before being lowered into a river or lake on May Day. As you can see, Judge Jeffrey was a very brutal man, but we are now investigating to find out if the ghost of Judge Jeffrey is really haunting Dorchester Museum and other known haunted areas around Dorchester.
Please watch to find out what really happens.
For the first video, it was our daytime visit to Dorchester Museum. We used this to interract with any possible entities to let them know who we are, and what we do before the actual investigation takes place later that night. We believe this helps a lot.
