Stood in the small roped off room (too right) Tracy, Lisa and some others heard a male groan/moan. John sat on the chair at the table (far wall) and felt like he had sat on someone. Sally felt ill, stomach. Emf meter was going off to red; someone’s legs went shaky near the roped area, the emf meter going off again. Lisa heard a mild huh/breathe; Sally’s legs cold and wobbly, knees were cold. Sally moved into the bedroom area and felt cold in here, all felt cold in the bedroom, and people’s knees were shaking in the bedroom. Carl sat in the chair at the table, the same one John sat in and he got a cold draft around his ankles, the temperature reading started at 16.4c and then dropped rather quickly to 11.6c, we witnessed this on the temperature gage. And then it very slowly rose to 13.6c and then stayed there but then Carl could feel the coldness went and then came back, but we had to leave so we could not continue with the temperature changes. Different smells of lavender, Cinnamon and urine. I personally think the lavender smell was due to the fact there was lavender in the room and also we had been waiting outside in the rain to come in here and people were standing against the rather large lavender bush.
During the vigil we asked for the clock to be affected as it was rather loud but it was not affected.

Everyone was drawn to want to go in play area. EMF measured by the gate and came up at 2-3 but also with periodic higher fluctuations. Seemed highest on the gate and locality and to right as facing gate. Also measured for several metres along perimeter going right. One group member was convinced that there was "something" in the left orchard area. Several lights caught on photos by group members but as it was raining it was likely they were raindrops, however Louise and 3 others all saw a large white light move in playground directly in front of gate. We ruled out reflection from cars on the road as nothing to reflect off. Cold spots occurred under gate and the emf meter was kept in situ for 10 mins whilst asking out and requested any spirit to approach and affect it, both times it lost all reading and regained on request, never fluctuating apart from these times in this position.

LAUNDRY ROOM
GROUP H – 8.40PM
Jane dowsing: child aged 7, female, with other children, whooshing sound on 1st room, unable to tell how many in corner.
GROUP F – 9.20PM
On entering the first part of the laundry by machines Louise immediately felt very sick and pressure in her chest and solar plexus. One member sensed an accident involving someone’s right arm! We were all drawn straight to the far end, and the TV equipment was also noted at this point not to be working, again! The emf also went crazy. It was 8 degrees colder in here than outside. We heard numerous bangs both in the cupboard and in the far corner behind the sheets. Numerous light anomalies were caught on camera and also seen above a group member’s head. As an experiment at the end, when he went back to the area with Louise, we tried to get further responses with just two people. When stood by the far corner several people including myself reported light-headedness, heavy heads or headaches, in contrast to the previous area. Several also felt drawn past the ropes divide, which we could not do, and we all felt the far right corner was the most active. We took pictures at intervals where noises seemed to emanate from and got light anomalies in most.
We tried dowsing, and despite the man dowsing never having done so before, we received very prompt and angry replies. The spirit did not want to communicate and was not happy they were there. We advised we meant no harm etc, still no, I felt inclined to ask if they used to be in charge and this was their domain, yes. Were they still in charge and was this still their area, yes. Could I ask one more question, didnt even let me finish, no. Would they like us to leave now? yes. Would they make a noise before we left. They seemed very much unwilling to be a performing seal and Louise advised that out of respect we would go to other end. We had a stone or something thrown into the other end as we stood there and felt sick again there. Half of the group went out and we stood watching monitor which appeared to move and went out of focus, shadow and light seen. The sound of someone walking from the far end, as if dragging one leg and noises from inside as we left and walked past the far end windows. Other dowsing, Are you happy for us to communicate with you, no. Would you like us to leave? yes. We wish no harm etc were it ok to speak to you for a few minutes, no. Were you in charge of this area we are in, was this your domain, yes. Is it still your area? yes. Are you standing behind me? yes. Can you make another noise before we leave, no.
A not very pleasant man was sensed on the prelim, was this the same spirit? It is great that a noise was made when the spirit said they would make a noise before the group left and we had no emf readings on the prelim, so the emf readings are interesting!

Nothing noted in this room.
GROUP A – 11.30PM
The outside door was heard to click, the camcorder was directed at the door and something was caught on the camcorder but later examined was dust and an insect. The door was heard to make a noise by most in the room and is captured on camcorder. Dowsing by Sally but everyone asked questions: younger male, he doesn’t want us to leave this room, want to change temperature, no spirit in cupboard next to Carl, this was asked after a photo was taken of a shape in the cupboard, Mark used Johns emf meter and the meter went up outside of the cupboard but not in the cupboard.. Sally’s arm was moved while dowsing, a slight movement on her right arm was captured on camcorder; the spirit wants to play game. Npeg emf meter went to red, through dowsing gained there was another male, not the same one, will not make noise but will touch someone, shy, does mind us being here, explained we mean no harm etc, will not make noise, want us to leave this room. Someone had a bad back since walking in this room. Mark was holding John’s emf meter went off by the outside door and then went to 3mg by the beds and then really high for a while. No other spirits apart from man and boy. The older male was not banging the door; he did not want to do anything. The older male and boy did not work in this room and the older male did not live in workhouse when alive. Every time the boy is mentioned Npeg emf meter went off. Slept in bed in this room, boy is not his son but is related to the boy, brothers. The older male had a wife. Then he said no to everything and we asked if he ever said yes and he said yes and then we had to leave. Different noises were heard in the room. At one point it went very cold nr the creepy figure/sacks.
GROUP F – 12.15AM
Nothing felt so we went to the cottage. COSTUME GALLERY AND BOARD ROOM
GROUP E – 8.00PM
Board room: Cold breezes on peoples legs, shadow walked past door, A man with a moustache was felt, flashing lights on chairs, temperature 19c, and 23c at leg level.
Costume Room: cold draught on leg. Noise like fax machine from corridor, rustling and beeping, mechanical, no idea what it was, no alarms make that noise. Temperature 18c and at leg level 22c.
GROUP F – 8.40PM
Dictaphone placed on organ by door to passage. Initially nothing sensed in here but all drawn to the door to the passage. Noises like footsteps and bang heard in costume room beyond. One person thought they saw cat walk in the corridor towards the waggon room. We all decided to go into passage and through to the costume room, on entering the costume room the temperature was observed to fluctuate up and down in seconds over a 6deg C gradient on more than one occasion. Louise became very cold quickly and had a feeling of pressure in my chest and increasing difficulty breathing. Also felt sick, mouth salivating as if going to be sick and everyone in the passage area experienced this to some degree. Everyone in the passage and at one point experienced a freezing draft in time; we checked doors and found no draft of any significance or temp different, as the door was not external. I stood in the doorway to the boardroom and had a rushing feeling of energy and sudden sense of someone now behind me in the boardroom. I can only describe this as, someone walking through me, it wasn’t pleasant. I started a dowsing session in the boardroom and we seemed to have a lady who died from a bleed in the brain, she had no children and died at Gressenhall, following a short illness. She refused to give any name details and came there with her husband (not staff). She stopped communication as another group passed in the corridor outside and we seemed to lose her for a while, as if she was scared to continue. Once the group left we heard a bit more from her. Interestingly, during this time, lights were seen turning on and off in a room since confirmed as not being on motion sensors, which means they should not have been on, as noone was there. Further, a dark figure was seen going past the door at speed and was checked but noone was in the vicinity at this time. Dowsing, female adult, did not live here with husband, no children, did not work here, not a nurse, didnt not like it here, did not come here as a child, not an orphan, came here as an adult. Died here, 30 years old, died of illness, with brain bleed, not a long illness, would not give a name. Anne came to mind but no form reply when asked.
It would be interesting to know if names were an issue as 2 females both were unwilling to give them. Something was caught on the dictaphone in this area at approx 9.05pm.
GROUP G – 9.20PM
The corridor between the Waggon room and board rooms, a flashing light was seen. In the Waggon room, footsteps, knocking, flashing lights, childish whispers and a whole different feeling.
GROUP H – 10.00PM
Cold breezes on hands, all sat on table, hands flat on surface, little fingers touching.
GROUP A – 10.40PM
Pinprick of red and pink lights were seen. Costume room lights were seen. The emf meter went off on the top of the table, thought to be the tablecloth, everyone felt calm in the boardroom.
GROUP C – 11.30PM
The emf meter went up to 2 green bars when standing on the table on its own, with no one touching it. Linda had picture of skeletons in the Costume room. The emf meter went up to 2 green bars, again, Lesley and Ali both saw a shadow at the doorway. Ali thought she saw a shadow behind the screen in the costume room.
The emf readings on the table are interesting as not all groups got emf readings and the groups that did get the readings, followed each other into that room and we had no emf readings on the table during the prelim, as i remember distinctly that i checked the table for emf readings.
