Historic Hotel, Thames

Quantum was invited by Paranormal Researchers NZ to join them to investigate an 1860's derelict hotel in the old gold mining town of Thames. The location will remain undisclosed due to client privacy and in an attempt to keep the place clear of vagrants and vandalism. Please do not ask us where this location is as a response will not be forthcomng. You can read the history on this location and it's alleged hauntings on our Haunted NZ Page.

The Investigation

After dinner at the local chinese restaurant, we headed to the location and attempted to gain entrance.  While we had the owners permission and the key's, the door was swollen shut from water damage. Stu to the rescue - and after abit of jimmying, he got it open for us.This hotel was just something completely different with an indoor pool in the main lounge and bar area and room doors opening out into the lounge, bar and pool area. The pool even boasted 2 fountains. I bet this place has seen some 'action' in it's time! The accommodation area consisted of a smaller lounge with piano and a hallway with several bedrooms leading off of it.  Some bedrooms still had chandeliers hanging from the ceiling not to mention the embossed velvet wall paper adorning the walls and some rooms, surprisingly, were in pristine condition.  We spent several hours investigating the area and held a short Facebook Live but failed to capture any data worthy of the time 'anomalous'. This fabulous historic hotel has now been demolished.
