The Royal Signals Museum is located within Blandford Camp, a military base in Dorset, England. Established in 1967, the museum chronicles the history of the Royal Corps of Signals, a unit of the British Army responsible for military communications since 1920. The site itself has a longer military history, with Blandford Camp dating back to 1806 when it was used as a depot during the Napoleonic Wars.

Over the years, several ghostly encounters have been reported at the museum and surrounding camp areas. Staff and visitors have described unexplained footsteps, doors opening and closing on their own, and the sensation of being watched when alone in the building. Some have claimed to see the apparition of a World War II soldier in vintage uniform walking through the exhibits before vanishing.

One of the most frequently reported phenomena is the sound of old-fashioned typewriters clacking away in empty rooms, particularly in areas where wartime communications would have been managed. Electronic equipment in the museum has also been known to malfunction inexplicably or turn on by itself, which some attribute to spirits attempting to communicate through familiar technology.

Another notable ghostly figure is that of a young woman in 1940s civilian dress, often spotted near the museum’s entrance. According to local legend, she may be the spirit of a nurse who worked at the camp during World War II and is still waiting for her soldier sweetheart to return.

The camp’s long military history, including periods of conflict and loss, is often cited as a possible reason for the reported paranormal activity at the Royal Signals Museum and its surroundings.
