Explorer put off visit to former children's home because of 'dark presence'

An urban explorer returned to a former convent and childrens' home, four years after being terrified by its "dark presence."

The first time Elliot Ward visited St Gabriel's on Beaconsfield Road in Woolton, he was disturbed by mysterious voices and witnessed what he described as poltergeist activity. When he summoned up the courage to revisit the place after an interval of around four years, he found it had fallen into a state of serious disrepair with crumbling walls and fire damaged rooms.

The footage he took inside also showed floors caving in, rickety staircases, and - more bizarrely - a pentagram daubed on the floor to ward off evil spirits.
