Nottingham's Old Picture House & Haunted Museum Launch 24/7 Live Cameras

The cameras will give fans of the paranormal the chance to get a much-needed paranormal fix from the safety of their own home. Viewers will be encouraged to watch the static cameras and look out for anything strange occurring while the building is in lockdown.

If something odd is caught on camera, it wouldn't be the first time. In their first year of running the museum, Steve and Marie captured what they believe to be paranormal activity on CCTV camera. The video footage shows a heavy metal handle on an old funeral hearse swinging wildly of its own accord while the building was locked up over night.

There is a fee to pay in order to view the live cameras, which when compared to the amount consumers are used to paying for services like Netflix, isn't great value, but access to the cameras is affordable. Most importantly, the income will mean that the digital venture will help bring much-needed funds into the business, which is currently being hit by a lack of ticket sales and event bookings due to the lockdown.

Before the coronavirus restrictions came into effect, the museum hosted various well-known paranormal teams including the Ouija Brothers, and UK Haunted, who partnered with the Really channel for a live investigation of the property last Halloween.

The old cinema, which has many of the original features intact, now houses various items with dark attachments, including a mummified cat named Cecil which is said to meow, as well as an instrument used to summon Satan called the Devil's Guitar, which came all the way from Iraq. There's real human skulls, a dybbuk box that is said to contain an evil spirt, and a doll made from a dead man's bandages, which has been seen to move by itself.

Visitors have reported paranormal experiences in the museum, including cold blasts of air, bangs, screams and the sensation of being touched. Straight after moving into the building Marie saw an unknown woman wandering around the property, despite the fact the museum was empty and the doors were locked.
