Farmhouse Investigation

28th September 2013

Farmhouse investigation.

Our next investigation took us to a beautiful farmhouse which was set deep in the heart of the country, surrounded by fields and woods and also had its own family graveyard just around the corner from occupants of the building long ago.

The original house was once much bigger. The building as it stands now has now been split into 2 separate homes. The farmhouse was a mix of lovely oak beamed rooms, attic rooms with priest holes and even had its own creepy cellar. The house has a lovely ambiance and friendly atmosphere and the energies present were almost tangible from the moment we stepped inside the door.

After we had been introduced to the family and had a tour of the house we decided to start the investigation at the top of the house and work our way down.

A few of us positioned ourselves in one of the top bedrooms in the attic while a few others positioned themselves in the hallway and Dave went to one of the priest holes. While Dave was stood in the hallway he thought he felt his jacket being tugged. We started to call out and straight away I saw a light anomaly through my digital camcorder. Andrew switched on his ghost box device and also had a K2 meter placed in the middle of us on the floor. A ghost box is a device that scans the airwaves, giving off white noise. It is believed that spirits can communicate through them which we can then hear. A K2 meter is an EMF meter which shows the level of EMF by lights. Green is normal level through to red which is not. It is also believed that spirits can affect EMF levels. Another theory is that if there is an unusually high level of EMF present, this can cause hallucinations which may be mistaken for spirit activity.

We continued to call out and ask questions to encourage some activity. We thought we heard the name Arthur through the ghost box and during this séance the K2 meter kept being activated. The footage can be seen on our official Facebook page under the title Farmhouse investigation.

Some of our team decided to move to another of the bedrooms in the attic and I volunteered to stay in the room by myself. I could hear the team trying to communicate with a spirit through the ghost box and they got a name come through that I could hear Maria saying she thought I had mentioned that name during the séance we had just done in the room I was still in. I was seeing lots of light anomalies in the room I was in which seemed to be mostly to the right of the room. They then seemed to stop until Dave came back into the room I was in to check that I was ok. He stayed in the room I was in and the anomalies started back up, again in the right hand corner of the room.

We decided to then take the investigation down to the kitchen and see if we could build the energy up by doing a table tipping experiment. We all assembled around the table and after taking the team though a grounding exercise quite quickly we started to hear some taps coming from the table. We had what we agreed felt like a female spirit but she was quite weak. We got that she used to live in the property but it was very hard to get a response from her. The energy died down and we then felt the energy build up again and this time it felt very different. We got very loud taps to our questions and the table suddenly shifted position completely. This scared one of the house members considerably who was present but we assured them this was normal and though quite freaky to witness, nothing bad will happen. We asked the spirit to lift the table which instead it decided to shove the table in Maria’s direction that happened to be sat on quite a high kitchen stool at the time. Maria decided it may be a better idea to stand rather than sit so after a brief pause to allow Maria to get settled again we continued with our séance. We soon got the energy back and the taps were very loud. During the séance we witnessed quiet taps to loud bangs, the table shifting and also lifting. We also made contact with a number of spirits. One of which confirmed a question that was asked by one of the members of the house that none of us would of known the answer too. You can see footage of this on the previously mentioned video clip which also shows a number of light anomalies and also includes a male EVP during this session. (EVP stands for electronic voice phenomena.)

After a brief break we then decided to take the investigation down to the cellar where we had learned that this had once served as a prison. The family had been told there were an adult female spirit and 2 children in spirit form that seemed to stay on this level. They had been told this by a medium that had previously visited the family. During this vigil we used Andrew’s ghost box and K2 meter. Almost as soon as we started I captured an amazing light anomaly on my camcorder. We called out to see if we could make contact with the spirits that were supposed to inhabit this level. We seemed to get some response through the ghost box that did sound like a child; we also heard what sounded like something being thrown at us. This may of just been loose plaster from the ceiling though. We also tried to make contact with the jailer which may have been present. The energy seemed to of died right back so as it was getting very late, we decided to bring the investigation to a close.

We would like to thank the family of the farmhouse for allowing us into their lovely home and we look forward to returning there in the very near future.
