Haunted Spa?
Bridlington Today

AS redevelopment work continues at Bridlington's Spa complex one man
believes the disruption could have upset an unhappy spirit and not the
sort served over the bar.

Robert Eastwood, 32, of Trinity Road, Bridlington, a self-styled
paranormal investigator, said he was convinced at least part of the
building was haunted.He worked there in the kitchens around 10 years ago
and had an unnerving experience with a store room door."The handle on a
door which led to a cupboard was broken. I jammed it tight against the
door frame and there was no way it was going to come open but the latch
lifted on its own and it opened on its own," said Mr Eastwood.At the
time he discussed it with work colleagues.

"They also felt there was something, especially some of the girls who
worked there. I am wondering if all this work has disturbed anything and
if anyone on the site has had any feelings of a presence," he said.Mr
Eastwood, who has already conducted a paranormal investigation at
Bridlington's Bull and Sun pub and other local places, is also hoping to
hold an investigation at Carnaby, once a wartime Lancaster bomber
base.Anne Chamberlain, on-site project manager for East Riding of
Yorkshire Council at the Spa, said there had been no reports of any
strange feelings or ghostly happenings on the construction site but Spa
manager Jeremy Hartshill said the complex was supposed to have its own
ghost.

"I believe it is thought to be the ghost of someone who died after
falling from a balcony," he said.*
