Private Dwelling, West Yorkshire
Overview of Dwelling
I received a request from the lady of the house, Mrs J. who asked us to investigate some odd happenings at this dwelling. The house is a large 4 bed detached house, built in the 1930's, and was once originally a house for the pit manager…...
The incident’s witnessed by the residents have been happening over the last fifteen years or so and have gotten more frequent over the last few years, things like strange smells, electrical appliances switching them selves on, and various items being in one place one minute and in a different location the next!.... There is also a room in the house which, no matter how long you leave the radiator on, never seems to get any warmer...... (The master bedroom)…
Mrs J. also told me that one night about 3 or 4 months ago she felt something sitting on the end of her bed; she felt the weight of whatever it was pressing on the mattress….And also at another time, (whilst she was in the bedroom, she heard breathing (laboured) which carried on for about 2 to 3 minutes….
Mrs J told me that the house had stood empty for a few years, due to the previous occupants passing away and leaving the house to their family, who had put the house up for sale, but had not managed to sell it due to the work that needed doing to the property, Mrs J told me that they had to have extensive building work done on the house to make it habitable, and also extra living space was added on at this time also.
Equipment Used On the Investigation IIR Camcorder EMF Meter Thermometer Motion Detector And the obligatory case full of other gadgets, torches, matches, spare batteries, first aid kit, masking tape, compass (basic EMF meter!) etc.,… Walk Through Before the Investigation The Team walked around the building with Mrs J. and noted the areas of previous activity that had been observed over time, & also completing our base line tests… The purpose was to locate the possible areas of activity to concentrate on. Taking approximately 60min observation in the main bedroom (where the cold spot was), on the ground floor corridor area (where the strange smell was). And then later, in the main lounge area where items have been moved…. Main Bedroom It was decided to set up a static cam on a tripod in the room for approximately one hour, after doing temperature readings (16.9 degrees C) and EMF readings (slight movement in the reading at the foot of the bed) in the bedroom, the camera was able to cover the whole room including the door to the bedroom leading to the landing area.…..We also set up a motion detector on the landing area at the top of the stairs case. Downstairs Corridor The Laptop computer with an IR Cam was set up in this location for approximately one hour’s duration, also EMF readings (normal) and temperature (15.6 DC) were taken, and we also decided to place the motion detector here too…. Lounge Area Here we decided to have a vigil, with 3 of the group sitting with an IR Cam to pick up on any light anomalies etc. Temp (23.6) EMF reading-normal. Conclusion On Saturday 21st January 2006, saw Haunted Yorkshire (paranormal research group) attend an investigation in an ex mining village on the outskirts of XXXXXXXX, West Yorkshire. We had our walk through with the IR cam round the whole house also going into rooms that we were not investigating this evening. Then when the walk through was completed , the first room to be set up was the main bedroom, so we put the IR cam on a tripod and let it roll for no longer than one hour…..before going down stairs, we set up the motion detector at the top of the stairs pointing slightly down the corridor. We had just nicely got downstairs, when the motion detector decided to actuate, for no apparent reason! The only people in the building were all down stairs, in the lounge. (The motion detector was not near a draught and no windows were open). When the camera had completed it’s one hours filming in the main bedroom, it was brought down stairs, a new tape was placed in the camera and again we placed it on the tripod. It was situated in the corner of the room pointing towards us sat on sofas. At approximately 22.15 one of the team said they saw what looked like a small bright light near the TV set (which was switched off) so we all kept our eyes peeled and about 5 minutes later both myself and another person saw what looked like a quick bright flash which was gone in a second, I don’t know whether our eyes were playing tricks with us in the darkness, but it was odd all the same. Again we had one hours filming one IR cam, and will go through the footage with a fine tooth comb over the next week or two.
Apart for those incidents above, no more incidents happened, and we finished the investigation at approximately midnight. This is a location where I can say we may well be returning to in the not too distant future to try to capture anomalies in other areas of the house….
