Cursed Poldark Mine Voice

Poldark Mine, Helston, Cornwall Apparition Industrial

Deep in the Cornish countryside, Poldark Mine has a reputation for being one of the most haunted locations in the region. It's here that a team of paranormal investigators from Mostghosts captured a chilling phantom voice, which not only utters foul language but also tells people to leave the mine. This unsettling experience has left many to wonder about the mine's dark past and the identity of the vengeful spirit.

In 2005, the team from Mostghosts conducted an investigation at Poldark Mine, a site notorious for its history of mining accidents and fatalities. Using specialised equipment, they managed to record a disembodied voice, which was described as aggressive and menacing. The voice's use of profanity and its clear instruction to leave the mine has sparked theories about a former miner or employee who may have met a tragic end at the site. While the true nature of this haunting remains a mystery, the evidence gathered by Mostghosts provides a fascinating glimpse into the paranormal activity that occurs here.
