Paranormal Lockdown UK 1.5 "Skegness Hell House" Review

As soon as they entered this house I had shades of deja vu in the sense that this location seemed familiar.  Not in likeness but in the haunting and the negative entities.  It screamed out Hinsdale and the Blackmonk House aka 30 East Drive, Pontefract and the dark forebodings and demon entities associated with those places.  Even before Nick and Katrina mentioned it and Katrina saying they've encountered this energy before.  It seems they are always called upon such locations to investigate, whether that be coincidental or intentional, or manipulation by such entities.  Even Nick and the reaction and emotions he had in the house were eerily familiar, including the dizziness and feeling of anger the entity was stirring up in him, especially in the attic.  The semi-detached house was also similar to the layout of the Pontefract house too, particularly from the outside and didn't appear particularly prepossessing.

The Antor family, Sylvia and her daughter, Jale had called upon the duo for help with a haunting in their home going back 25 years.  With them all experiencing hauntings throughout their time here.  It was as though the house, well they were attached to the house somehow and it wouldn't leave them alone.  Jale seeing a little girl and thinking she was a fellow girl she could play with, then seeing her disappear.  Sylvia had appearances in her room of a dark figure and through the mirror, which they said could be a portal.  Nick explaining the significance of mirrors which I have written about numerous times over so won't go into again.  (Sufficed to say look here for the explanations.  If you want to.)  Mirrors in short, being portals to other worlds or dimensions.  Jale also having seen a negative dark figure too.

Her brother Abrahim who slept in the front room downstairs was also affected, as was her father, Ottoman.  He was particularly affected especially when he went into the attic as if that place was calling out to him.  The family left the house three years ago and didn't sell it though and Nick and Katrina investigated what was behind the hauntings, the house or the family themselves.  Sylvia also having an aversion to the attic and not wanting to venture up there.  Obviously knew Nick would spend a night there, but those spiders dude!  What was strange and different in this ep is how they didn't have anything happen whilst asleep, aside from Nick hearing noises he said when he was in the attic.

Katrina immediately noticed the foul stench in the kitchen early on, most commonly associated with demonic hauntings.  Nick heard steps upstairs and he and Katrina felt dizzy at the same time.  As well as using the Geoport they got the word "run", which was heard twice by me.  As well as the name "Lucien."  Again this was a name associated with the devil, Lucifer, and dominated the Geoport sessions.  Investigating the attic where Ottoman would pass out, Nick asked if Lucien was here and he got the reply, "he lay down."  Nick slept in Sylvia's room on the first night wearing an EGG to monitor his brain pattern.  He said he dreamed about a dark man.  When examined there was some unusual peaks on his brainwave activity and this was when he wasn't moving whilst asleep.  Katrina saying he was interpreting that activity when he was asleep thus the spikes.  Used in 1.2 Anderson Hotel ep of Paranormal Lockdown.  In this, it was explained that if there are spikes in brainwave activity then there was something around that attacks them when they're vulnerable and in that dream stage, especially.

They got "Lucien" again on the Geoport and also I heard a voice say "Sylvia said this..."  A clue to the hauntings but they didn't seem to have heard this come through.  Not until later do they find that Sylvia directly contributed to the haunting and the activity the family experienced.  They decided to conduct an experiment in Sylvia's room using mirrors, lasers and the LED light panel.  And a trifield meter.  Nothing was caught aside from the trifield meter going off and a stick figure suddenly appeared next to Katrina when she was standing next to the mirror on the wardrobe.  Which Nick said could explain a portal or a doorway for an entity to come through.  The Geoport had voices coming through with words "Sylvia", "Antor" and "Lucien" again.


Whilst they were conducting the mirror experiment, Katrina taunted by saying the entity should do something more and they felt the house rumble and shake.  Asking about who sent the entity here, they got the response, "Beelzebub": a higher demon or the word for devil.  Very prominent in Shakespeare's time, for anyone not familiar with it.  (I've heard that come through in EVPs in other shows too such as Ghost Adventures.)  But I also heard "hell" intertwined.

Jale returned next day and the Geoport voice said "Jale" and then "Lucien" again, which she said she had heard before in her dreams but wasn't aware of its meaning.  Clearly her presence there sparked more activity later on.  More equipment was set up including shadow trackers and also a motion detector.  Nick felt something touch him and again voices on the Geoport referred to "Lucien" and "he did it."  As well as "mama" and "mother opened it."  An obvious allusion to Sylvia.  When the pair returned, Sylvia said when she was 12 she had taken part in a Ouija board session where a glass was placed on the board and it lit up.  She saw a dark figure but not wearing a priest's collar and it said it wanted "you."

Ottoman's father used to 'help' people in his village by conjuring up spirits for them and Jale mentioned the broad beans and spilling then when she was little.  Then she ran to her room and hid under the bed which was her first time experiencing activity when she visited by the girl.  An obvious sign of demonic activity.  Thus the family and its "lineage" as Nick and Katrina said, had caused the haunting.  They should move on from this and think positively and put it behind them.  Now they know what is behind it.  Also looking to sell the house and leave this chapter behind.

This episode was a little less daunting and harowing than the other places mentioned, although not for the family, but in terms of the investigation; as at least they can begin to get closure now.  With Nick and Katrina being able to help them.  Also highlighting again the dangers associated with using a Ouija board and especially as a child, not knowing how to conduct a proper session and then closing it afterwards.  But again why dabble in that to begin with, know children aren't aware of the threats and menace associated with it but such things are better left alone.

Okay so those who know me Know that I'm a dab hand at deciphering EVPs but also that I usually see lots of faces and stuff like that in pictures, videos etc.  So it's no shock that I see a face in the photo of the house, as shown here.
Sorry the pic quality's not so good been having probs with screenshots lately!  More gremlins in the works!!
