The Vortex in the Women's Changing Rooms

(c) Charlyn Keating Chisholm
The tour took us back into the First Class Swimming Pool. This time, we were down at the pool level, and could walk around freely with the lights on.

While the swimming pool is quite creepy, the highlight of this part of the tour was walking into the cramped space of the women's changing area. According to the tour guide, several psychics have detected a vortex of negative energy. The guide attributed this to reports of a woman being raped in one of the tiny rooms. I did get an orb in a picture of this area, which does seem to be charged with energy of some sort.

Out in the swimming pool, the tour guide confirmed my suspicions about the ghosts being scared away by the loud special effects. A little girl is often spotted in this area, and sometimes shows up in pictures. The tour guide told us that the little girl's ghost didn't like to appear when the louder tour came through.
