Cellar

Group 1 8.20pm – 8.40pm

Karen picked up on a young boy, among many others who came and held her hand whilst they were down there. She sensed the name of Adam and that he had very curly dark hair and wore small round specs which had been repaired in the centre. He was about the age of 6. There were also a couple of older boys there too called Jo and Jack. There were many more who seemed to gradually come out from the far corner to the ladder, like there was a tunnel there where they all came from. Karen felt that they would have resided more a little further down the road and not in this particular building. There were also adults with the children, but all were very scruffy and not particularly well looked after. 

There was another gentleman call George who was wearing what looked like pyjama bottoms and a woollen type of jacket (bit like a duffle coat type of material) which was dark blue. He was nearly bald with just a little grey hair. He died at the age of 62.

Karen also felt that further down there had been a fire which she felt some people had perished in.

Karen was also aware of a type of grave or pit where bodies had just been left after passing over rather than having a proper burial.

The guests saw many lights which seemed to come from the wall to the left of the ladder as you enter the cellar. One person could also see a sort of ripple effect like water which was black and silky.

Another guest was aware of a tall gentleman near to the electrics at the rear of the cellar.

Shadows of people were also seen twice.

Asked ‘If you are the man of the house, one tap please’ – nothing heard

3 thuds heard below

Footsteps heard underneath the ladder

Asked ‘If it is a child, one tap please’ – 1 tap heard and then a thud

Whispering heard followed by another tap

Don then went into the cellar on his own and shut down the cover. As Don was facing the ladder there was a bang behind him and he heard crying. He felt this was a young girl who was confined or restrained in another room behind the ladder. He felt this room had been bricked up.

Asked ‘Are you behind the wall?’ – Flash of light seen

‘Can you tap the wall please?’ – small tap heard

‘Are you on your own?’ – Thump heard

Don felt that an adult had entered the room and the children appeared to have gone.

Storeroom

Cold was felt at the back of the room

Don had a tick in his left eye

Felt that Isabel was a little girl of about 8 – 9 years old. She likes to come into this room as it is most frequented.

Asked ‘Give us a sign’ – felt a touch on the hand

She was scared and could feel us being there. Her mother died in childbirth

Group 1 8.45pm - 9.05pm

To the right-hand side by the shelving there were lights which moved in response to being asked to move which constantly either flashed, stayed still or moved around the entire time we were in there.

A strong light was also seen behind one of the guests just near to these lights.

Another guest standing to the door side of the shelving felt a man standing behind her. She could physically feel someone pressing on her back. There were then tugs on her jumper. There was also 1 tug in response to being asked to tug at clothing.

Another guest experienced 3 taps which he heard within his inner ear.

There was a man picked up in the corner of the room who was responding to the request to make tapping noises but a proper code was unable to be established. There were also a few flashes of light from this corner.

It was sensed that a man was also walking up and down in front of the windows and there was a definite drawing to the far window on the left.

Karen asked out whether this was ‘Malcolm’ and there was a distinct change in the energy there were flashes of light seen by all and 3 green balls of light were seen. Karen felt someone walk straight through her and had a massive surge of energy and goose-bumps.

Temp remained a constant 14.5 throughout.

Loud noises of furniture being dragged across the upstairs floor were heard also many heavy footsteps; when checked through on the radio all other investigators were accounted for in other areas. 

Group 3 9.15pm - 9.35pm

One guest felt like someone was pressing up against her in a sexual way and had to leave the room.

1 guest picked up on a rape in the room (she was not aware at this time why the other guest had left the room)

1 guest moved to where Troy was standing previously and felt drunk and that she wanted to drool. (this was in front of the boxes)

Attic

Pre-investigation walk – Jo

Young girl behind the door

Adolescent boy 16-17 playing around, a bit of a prankster

Group 3 8.20pm – 8.40pm

Two of the guests wrote down a few statements whilst in this area-

‘Can you see me now, bitch’

‘I want your body, I want you’

‘Be a man’

‘Someday I’m going to take your life away – I gave it to you, might be now, might be later who knows. Your mine. Master’

‘You bastard, I hate you’

Were these statements from the past or the now?

These two guests had swimming heads when entering the room. They felt a not nice man walk up the stairs and stand by the door.

One of them sensed him pacing up and down with a girl beside him.

Mark, Stuart and 1 guest heard a noise on the stairs

Stuart heard breathing (8.25pm)

They could all sense someone on the stairs.

Children were felt around as if they were interested in what was going on.

Troy called out and 1 guest could hear ‘Can you see me now?’

She picked up the name of Samantha and could hear whispering.

Troy felt cool breezes on his arm

Stuart got an itchy head

1 guest sensed a mother and daughter behind the door

1 guests sensed a man with an arm around Troy aged 19 with long hair. She felt that he was sad, afraid and need a hug.

Group 2 8.45pm - 9.05pm

Jo felt that a female had died of consumption

Heard something heavy being moved

2 taps heard after asking for 2 taps

Asked ‘1 tap for a girl, 2 taps for a boy, 3 taps for a man’ – 1 tap heard at the back of the room

Group 1 9.15pm - 9.35pm

One of the guests picked up most of what was felt within this room, but all could smell or feel sick upon entering this room.

She felt that the room would have been bigger than it is now. It would have been a sort of workshop for woodwork. She sensed a male who would have worked here and would have taken standard furniture and carved it to decorate it. He gave her acorn style wooden curtain rail ends and s sensed him holding her wrists.

They talked together about the artist Scheile – she is also an artist.

He described himself as an artist to make things decorative ‘I want all beauty in all things’

He said that she had a name like his. ‘We are brothers/sisters, we are the same’

‘I never had a daughter’ He had a son but was not married.

The wall which faces the door as you come in she was particularly drawn to and felt that he was sort of half in and half out of the wall.

She pressed against the wall and just suddenly thought that it was sexual that she was a whore. There was a sudden change in the energy in the room and Karen asked if it was Malcolm. 

She drew back very quickly and felt completely repulsed, as if someone had been playing a really nasty trick on her.

Was this Malcolm being manipulative and using her name and interests to his own means?

Back Room Séance – 10pm

We opened up a standing séance in which everyone held hands. The room was light enough for everyone to be able see around the room from a light shining in from the hallway.

A shadow was seen outside the circle near to the window

Two people could feel a pulling on their hands as if someone was trying to pull them back out of the circle to break it, beside the left wall as you enter the room

Strong energy seen behind people on the right wall

Cold breezes felt by people on the right wall area

Light seen above heads of people near to the door

Sense of 2 males walking around the outside of the circle

1 man moved in really close to Don and was a little too close, so the circle was closed down.

Back Room

Pre-investigation walk – Jo & Anne

Uncomfortable feeling

Ann had the sense of a Judge and Jury

Ouija Experiment – 10.40pm

The name of Malcolm was spelt. He refused to answer any questions about his family at first.

He said he died in 1927 at the age of 62 but then stated 1846 as a year of birth. We are therefore unsure as to the reliability of the information gleaned from this experiment.

The information gathered was that he lived in London with his wife and didn’t have any daughters. He had a mistress who resided and worked in this shop called Mary. He was involved in the Slave trade and imported Russian people. Mary had given birth to a baby who was conceived with one of the Russians. He used the cellar to hide people during this trading. He got annoyed with his wife and mistress both of whom he murdered because of adultery. He confirmed that he was a heavy drinker and would be quite smelly.

He refused to give his surname but would give the letter ‘P’

He also confirmed that he had been jailed in Pentonville prison and hung for his crimes.

He had also fought in the First World War. He also confirmed that he had murdered Mary’s daughter.

The glass also went to the letter U Y a few times, almost like asking the question, and when explained that we were interested in what happens to people once they pass and to find out more about the people around the house he seemed happy enough.

Karen asked if he liked being there and he said no. Karen asked if he would accept help from her guides to find a way to move on or progress and he said yes. Karen left this with her guides.

It was asked which staff he liked and disliked who worked in the shop and he disliked 3 but liked two, one of whom looked a bit like Mary and the other who stands up to him and is not scared of him. At the end of the session he said he would no longer try to scare the others; the air appeared to get much lighter. All people involved said that they felt much better after doing the experiment than before.
