SCHOOL ROOM
GROUP A – 8.OOPM
The emf meter went off down the aisle and Sally said her left arm was hurting. Most of us heard a squeak, the door opened, but lady at the back said she had shut the door, some debate over, if door stays shut or not. The emf meter was going off, sitting at the front on the left side. A light was seen. There was a tap behind Tracy, Tracy asked if the spirit wanted to play and the emf meter went to red (20mg+) in response to this question. John and others heard a thud, not sure if it was from outside or not. The emf meter went too red again, when asked if boy, but did not respond when asked if girl. Sally felt the presence of the boy, felt he was shy, Sally went really hot on her face and chest and Sally proceeded to lose the use of her legs and had to be taken outside. The boy went as he was upset that he might of hurt Sally, Tracy talked to the boy. Sally came back in and felt she looked like his mother, Carl and Mark got the name Tom and Thomas independent of each other. Sally saw a white light around the room and got really hot again; someone felt Thomas was aged about 6 or 7. Sally’s legs was being affected again, but interestingly some thought he had left as it had got colder, mind you Sally was at the back of the room and the others were at the front of the room.
Noises and other stuff caught on Dictaphone still to be checked.
GROUP B – 8.40PM
Gemma moved the bead on the abacus, 4 beads on row 4 on the floor standing one and 2 beads on row 6 on the windowsill, but nothing moved. This room got darker; Rosalyn saw a shadow by the 2nd window on the right by the 2nd abacus on the windowsill.
Nothing caught on Tracy’s dictaphone.
GROUP C – 9.20PM
Ellie said she could see a small figure near the marbles (9.30pm). Both Pam and Ellie saw a change in Marks face and Ellie said she saw Mark had a hump on his shoulder. Mark moved the top row beads on the abacus, 2 across and 2 across on the 5th row, when Mark checked the 4th row bead had moved.
Two separate voices caught on Tracy’s dictaphone which are on Npeg’s website.
GROUP D – 10.00PM
A bang from the back of the room, in the toilet area. Some also heard faint music. Jackie moved the abacus beads but nothing paranormal happened. Karen done psychometry on a desk, front right, the 3rd desk and got the name of Edward, ginger hair, aged 7 years old. Ruth felt like a shadow sat on the piano about to play. At 10.30pm, asking out and it was believed that the marbles moved. No emf readings. Listening to the dictaphone someone gets the name Tom but nothing else was recorded on Tracy Dictaphone.
GROUP E – 10.40PM
Just before we left, we heard a noise to the back of the room, moving position, and dull thud noise, no movement of abacus.
GROUP F – 11.30PM
Posh Harry in tow!
We entered and Louise and one other had feeling of pressure and sickness in the central aisle near the front of room. Asked out and saw several lights, red, green, blue and white in various area of the room. It was noticed that the left side as you face the front was colder and became freezing. Asked out for sounds and light, the lights were sometimes seen in response and with praise, again straight away. I stood at the back as Paul and member of public reported it was freezing. It was freezing up to my mid thigh on one occasion and a bit higher another. I asked if they were near me and sensed a little boy, Simon came to mind. I asked him to hold my hand. I asked him to go to the front to Harry and we seemed to have him running between us. My left hand went freezing and I asked if he was holding my hand Paul’s emf meter went crazy and highest up to 4 around my hand. I saw an individual finger appear to move and lift in order to access the biro I held, which I asked to be taken and i could feel rings of real iciness like fingers around my finger at one point. As Harry asked him to come and see him again Paul noted the emf on my hand which i left in the same place to check, went lower, he also verified it felt less cold. Also, the names of Tabitha, by myself and Daniel Bliston and Martin given by public. Faint music also heard.
The only Martin i could find was a Martin Tuffts, no age given, no relatives in 1851.
GROUP G AND H – 12.15AM
Marbles moved, some knocking, gate? Swinging.
The marbles seemed to have moved, and from photo evidence we are able to put a time limit to when they moved, but the footage seems to indicate that there is no human intervention, but Mark’s camera did not record, so we can not rule out human intervention as we need two angles of the trigger objects to rule out human intervention, so this will have to remain open for the present time. There were no emf readings in the school room during the prelim. It is also interesting that two separate groups got the name Tom.
OLD SHOP/SEED MERCHANTS/BLACKSMITHS
GROUP G - 8.00PM
Lots of noises, shingle moving outside, dripping noise and stop and started. Jane got the name of Michael, 1848, Lewis smelt smell of horses in little back room and Gemma saw orange colour faces on the little back room.
GROUP A – 8.40PM
Karl got the name Stan and Mark saw a woman sitting in a chair by the stove and got the name Mavis (Mark later described seeing her like the plaque/picture of the woman on the stairs) but he felt she preceded this building. Bangs and taps heard. Emf reading in the tramp area, going to red and there were no electrics in this area as Tracy checked. Lots of orbs were seen in the post office area and lights/orbs in the blacksmith area. Dowsing: two lots of dowsing were done, but only have a record of one lot of dowsing done by Alison and questions asked by Tracy. Mary Davis, died 1800’s had 1 daughter who lived here, worked here, did not like it here, musical when alive, Alison asked questions as the rods were playing tunes when using them, she sung. Daughter called Mavis, the number 36 relevant, she died here.
