Inn with the well

Back on the trail of ghosts

Well, finally after a few months off, we are back hot on the trail of spook hunting once again.

Last night, we found ourselves at a lovely country pub for our first investigation as Phoenix Paranormal. This was made even more fantastic as we were joined by the lovely Twilight Shadows. Our Location was an amazing pub called The Inn with the Well which is somewhere between Marlborough and Swindon. It is said to of had an old chapel on the grounds (now a house) and some unmarked graves as well as another well outside.

The First to arrive was Lou and I. We walked into the pub and were faced by this breath taking, circular glass opening in the floor about 1.5 metres in diameter . This was the well! It was about 90ft deep in total and at the moment the water level was at about 30ft from top (which is very high) due to the enormous amount of rain fall recently. Usually it is about 75 ft. from top. (I am extremely scared of heights so just peeping over the edge made me go all giddy!)

During the evening some of the team were brave enough to try some scrying with their reflections in the well water. Below is a picture of Maria attempting to scry.

We also tried to communicate with the spirits using Ouija board. (A lot of people are very wary of using the board), However; with the right protection prayer and making sure you open and close your circle properly, we have found that we have never had a problem.) We got some amazing information from what came through and are hoping to be able to verify as it was extremely specific.

I was hoping to use some dowsing rods to locate the well outside but as the weather had turned, I decided against it.

During the investigation not much paranormal activity was experienced. However; we all felt uneasy in one of the bedrooms and on a stairwell. While we were at this stairwell, we believe we helped move a trapped spirit over to the light. Otherwise it was a privilege to of been given permission to hold an investigation in such a superb country pub with the most amazing attraction I have ever seen.
