Getting to grips with the Chichester Observer’s ghosts

Joe Anwar, Alex Watson, Tim Fitzgerald and Joe Lovett gained a first for the project, which will represent an important part of their overall degrees they will complete this summer.

The group are studying digital film production and needed a suitable subject when Joe turned up at the Chichester Observer offices for a week’s work experience. He soon got to hear about the ghosts which are said to occupy the building. In the years since the Observer moved in, numerous people have reported hearing sobbing or crying near the stairs; objects, papers, documents have mysteriously moved; drawers have opened or slammed; cold spots send sudden chills; moving shadows have been seen; and voices have been heard.
