Private Investigation

12th October 2013

This evening’s investigation was being held at an exceptional building with lots of history. It is a place that Maria has always wanted to investigate and all the credit is due to her for arranging this amazing location. We have been asked to keep the location a secret so all I can say is it is somewhere in the South West of England.

We had quite a large team with us this evening so after a quick tour of all the buildings areas and possible paranormal hotspots, we then divided the group into teams and allocated areas.

Our team headed to our allocated area which I will call area 2. We settled down into positions around the area and Andrew set up a laser grid, K2 and spirit box. I had my trusted night vision camcorder, stills camera and Digital voice recorder. We started to call out to see if we could encourage spirit activity. Almost 5 minutes into this we heard a huge bang which was so loud it reverberated. Concerned it may have been one of the other teams had a short break to see if anyone had got into trouble but luckily everyone was fine. To my knowledge no one else heard this bang so I will mark that as possibly paranormal. During our vigil in area 2 we heard taps (to order) Maria thought she saw a figure over to the left of the stage which made some of the laser point’s blank out. Tracey also said she thought she saw something there too. We also heard a big thud to the left of us which sounded like a seat being lowered. This sounded up on the video footage which can be viewed on the Facebook page. We also captured some very good light anomalies on video and a response on the Ghost box which we believed was from a female spirit called Eleanor. This footage can also be viewed on the Facebook page.

For our next area we moved to area 3. We spent a while in here and not much happened. Andrew had his ghost box and K2 meter on though we did not get any response via these devices at all. While we were in area 3 another team ventured in and we had a little chat with them and decided to move on.

We headed for area 5, however as another team had just got there we decided to head for area 1 which was the largest of the areas to cover. We once again got ourselves into position and started to call out. I got some really good light anomalies on video camera at the beginning of the vigil though the light activity seemed to stop after this. The activity we witnessed during this vigil seemed to be more personal experiences. Maria thought she saw a black orb and Matt thought he could see shadows moving. We didn’t really get a definite response with the Ghost box though we did all witness one incident. Just as we had decided to move on to the next area we all heard a very loud thud behind me and I actually felt my chair vibrate. This sounded very much like in area 2 where a chair has been lowered but this time with force. Unfortunately I had switched off my video camera so did not capture this on the footage. However you can hear it very clearly on the Digital Voice Recorder.

We moved onto area 5 which still had a team in there. We joined them as they were attempting to try a table tipping exercise. They also told us they had, had quite a few things thrown at them which sounded like coins. We set up some cameras and joined the team around the table. At first we didn’t get much from the experiment but we did get something thrown back at us after Maria chucked the object into the corner and asked for this to be thrown back. The team also advised us that the spirit in the room didn’t like men (they had discovered this during a spirit board experiment). We asked the men to leave the table and just the women remained. After 10 minutes or so we did start to hear the familiar pops and taps you get when energy is building up during a table tipping experiment. We also got another object thrown at us. We did get the table to move which is did in a rhythmic motion. We did not get it to tilt though. I also captured some very good light anomalies on video which can be viewed on the Facebook page along with the objects being thrown.

At this point I decided to take a break so went back to the hub. My husband came to find me and advised me that one of the teams had lost their spirit board somewhere in the building. We decided to go to area 6 to look for it. During this time we probably had the strongest paranormal activity even though I was not on paranormal investigator mode which was a shame as it was not captured on camera. While in area 6 we suddenly felt the whole atmosphere change and I heard what sounded like a foot scuff on the steps behind us. We went back to the steps and just where we had been stood we heard something hit the wall like it had been thrown at us. We walked back to where we were an immediately felt threatened. We decided to leave the area and it took all our resolve not to run from there. As we went back up the steps we heard footsteps following us up. Dave and I kept walking until we were back in the hub and could not believe what we had just witnessed.

During the remainder of our time here we investigated a couple of other areas though nothing significant happened to report.

I would like to thank Maria Williams for arranging this investigation
