INVESTIGATORS TO BE SEEN ON NATIONAL TV

Does the 'Lady in Blue' haunt city tea rooms?

IF there’s something strange in your 17th-century tea room, who you gonna call? In the case of Plymouth’s mysterious Lady in Blue phantom it would have to be city paranormal investigators The Unexplained 4.

The team, shortly to appear on national television, have been looking into ghostly goings-on at the Tudor Rose Tea Rooms, on the Barbican, where the spirit of a lady in a blue dress lurks in the corner of the banquet room. There is also a haunted staircase and a phantasmagorical bathroom with staff and customers reporting seeing and hearing unearthly sights and sounds.

“A lady has been seen by guests sitting in a chair,” said Marie Rixon, one of The Unexplained 4. “We did an investigation in here and heard noises.”

Kevin Young, the team’s founder, said they heard knocks, tapping and footsteps and added: “We found a light anomaly – an orb. It changed colour, red to yellow and had a shape to it. Two different lights were coming out of it. I see that as the first stage of a manifestation of a ghost.”

Louise O’Keefe, who has run the tea rooms for seven years, said: “The Lady in Blue sits in the corner of the Banquet Room and wears a blue dress – lots of people have seen her.

“Some of the staff have noticed other things too, some have even felt things, or seen things out of the corner of their eye. Some people also say they have seen a man during the day, and a couple of kids. We have had seances here and investigations, we get a couple of inquiries a year.”
