You can't legally enter Amen Court, but that doesn't have to stop you from going in.
I first visited Amen Court a little over two years ago when i was on my way down to the Old Bailey courthouse where i had previously been on an investigation with my father.
It was by mere chance that i had come to Amen corner and walked down it by mistake, ending up Amen Court. Of course, i had never heard of anything surrounding Amen Court, so i left, heading to the Bailey.
When i arrived home, i told my father about Amen Court, and then he told me about what i could have found there.
He told me a story about Newgate Prison, which was situated behind Amen court, and the Black Dog of Newgate.
The Black dog of Newgate has been seen over the centuries. The Dog is thought to date back to the time of King Henry III (1216-72), where there was a famine in London and people were starving. the inmates of Newgate Prison were even more so, and many of inmates turned to eating each other.
Aparently, one night, a young who was imprisoned after being convicted of sorcery, was eaten by the other inmates. it was after his murder that the inmates began to see the apparition of The Dog, hunting them down and driving them crazy. The Dog returned to haunt the Prison on the eve of executions.
My father had never been there, it was one place that he just never got round to going, so i suggested that we went.
The very next weekend, we got up early, got all the equipment ready, all our log files prepared and headed out. We got to Amen court and stopped at the "Do Not Enter" sign. For a moment i think my father actually considered not going in, but then he moved on ahead.
I thought we would probably not make it too far in before we would be stopped by some rent-a-cop, but we got all the way to the far end where the is an ancient wall. Even though many years older than myself, my father was not afraid to climb a wall or two, which we did, and on the other side was the remains of Newgate Prison's "Dead mans walk", the long thin passageway where the prisoners walked to their trials and executions.
There was a weired smell there, it might have been a mix of rotting brick and wood
, but it might have been something else.
We began to take readings from just around the wall, but before we knew it, all the equipment started going nuts, EMF was all over the place. We turned the equipment off and waited an hour. At this point we had no sighting of anything Paranormal.
An hour later, we began again, but the moment anything electrical came on, it started going haywire - we left it going for a little bit, but it never died down. We started sound recording and video. For fifteen minutes we stood there looking at each other, both wondering if this was ever gonna die down. We turned off the equipment and decided to hang around till the evening and then to comeback the next day. We got home and logged all of the data that we had collected. My father said that he had a strong feeling while he was there that it was definitely occupied, even though
We arrived again - over the wall and started our readings. This time, when we turned on the equipment, nothing. Every reading was flat. It was strange, because there should always be some sort of reading on the equipment. we changed the batteries, just in case - but nothing. My father said that he felt that it wasn't a good idea to base any of our findings on the readings that we had, but that we should stick around to see if we can catch a glimpse of the dog. We waited for eight hours, and around 6pm we began to hear a scratching on the wall. It was faint, but a clear scratching sound. We set up the sound recorder and got about three minutes of this sound. We decided to take what we had and call it a day - there was no point hanging round to try and get some baseline readings and the equipment either went crazy or died.
I returned to Amen court late last year, but i got stopped every time i tried to walk down to the wall. I am dying to get back in there and see if anything has changed.
Thanks for reading.
