The Ragged School Museum was opened in 1990 by the Ragged School Museum Trust after it was saved from demolition.
Originally opened in 1867 by Dr Barnardo the Ragged School Museum has a very colourful history. When Dr. Barnardo came to London from Ireland in 1866 he arrived to a city that was rife with poverty, disease and overcrowding and educational opportunities for the poor were non-existent. He gave up his medical training after watching the Cholera epidemic sweep through London to become a missionary and in 1867 he opened his first 'Ragged School' which offered children a free basic education. When it closed in 1908 the Government schools had opened in the area which served the needs of the local families. The buildings then became warehouses for the goods that were being transported along Regent's Canal, before being rescued by The Ragged School Museum Trust.
You get a real sense of how things really were for the children of The Ragged School and the Museum also has several gallery areas including a Victorian East End kitchen with all its historical artefacts.
The amount of activity that has been reported here is startling. Many paranormal groups have investigated and this building leaves you in no doubt that there are spirits and ghosts within. People have heard tormented cries, laughing and loud bangs and these have even been picked up on sound recordings. Heavy footsteps from empty rooms, strange lights that float amongst you in the basement and some of the most intense Poltergeist activity Haunted Happenings have ever experienced are all waiting for you at The Ragged School. We defy anybody to spend time alone in the basement.
Your night will include a brief introduction to the building and its history, followed by workshops to learn how to use the ghost hunting equipment and then vigils throughout the night. You will have the opportunity to experience Ouija board, Glass Divination and Table Tipping, as well as Séances and lone vigils for the very brave.
Join us as we investigate what must be the most haunted School in Britain.
I have done quite a few ghost hunts previously, and this was my first with Haunted Happenings, and also my third visit to the Ragged School in the past 6 months and last night was the best I have ever experienced.
Firstly a massive thank you to Haunted Happenings and the crew. It was well organised, professional and the whole night went so quickly. The host was fantastic, one of the best crew members i have ever seen.
I would definitely recommend The Ragged School to anyone who wants to go. It is simply the best venue ever!!! Just a word of advice though, a spare set of underwear could be advisable , especially if the spirits we witnessed comes back!
This was my first experience with Haunted Happenings and it definitely won't be my last. |
