Eldorado Posted March 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) "Staff and volunteers who work at Torquay Museum are convinced that the playful ghost of crime writer Agatha Christie may be behind frequent poltergeist activity in the gift shop. "The oldest museum in Devon has long been rumoured to be haunted and previously released CCTV footage showing leaflets mysteriously flying off shelves. "Now staff insist they have witnessed frequent poltergeist activity. They have seen Agatha Christie being launched across the room and wonder if the Queen of Crime is haunting the gift shop which contains many of her books.."

moonman Posted March 6, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Of course they would baselessly claim it's someone famous, gotta attract that business any way they can. Edited March 6, 2020 by moonman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted March 6, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Maybe if they stood their books better, they will not fall off. Look at the ones on the right of her head, any of those books could fall any minute. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the ones on the right of her head, any of those books could fall any minute. That actually makes me wonder if they are setting a few books intentionally precariously to feed these stories... Say you know there's a loose floorboard under one shelf. Put a book or two up there barely balanced, and when someone walks by, there's a greater chance of it just 'falling' on it's own. Also, look at those leaflets next to her head. The simple air displacement of someone moving by or turning quickly would probably cause at least one them to fall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TashaMarie Posted March 10, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2020 So they are saying she is haunting the place as she is attached to the books? Easy enough to verify if the haunting is real or fake, take the books to a controlled area (away from the museum) ensure the room with video surveillance and see what happens.
