Team: Dawn, Russ, Joan & Graham.
Introduction
I was contacted by (*) Sally a few weeks ago, asking us if we could help, as she was experiencing a few strange happenings at her property. She explained that she had been there about four years and things had been happening literally since the day she moved in.
I said that of course we could help and that we would be only too glad to go over and take a look one evening.
******
We arrive on the evening of the 29th September to this road side property; it is set slightly back from the road and required you to go up a flight of steps to her front door.
The property consisted of entrance through the kitchen and in to the lounge area, then through another doorway, from there you could access the staircase to the landing area which has two good sized bedrooms and a bathroom.
I set up camp in the lounge area and started to get the items out we were going to use for the investigation, out of my case, Graham was off upstairs already with Russ in pursuit with the night vision camcorder in hand.
Joan was handed the laser thermometer gun and a torch and I had the hygrometer and EMF meter and also the note pad, and we then made our way upstairs to find Russ and Graham already at work in the child’s bedroom. Graham was already sensing something in the room and as he stood in the very corner he said he was now feeling disoriented and dizzy , he asked me to stand there, to see whether it was his imagination, and as I stood there, I too lost my footing!. There were no readings from the EMF; the temperature was 17 degrees C., the Hygrometer was reading 67% humidity. Graham was definitely sensing something, but at this time could not say what; he did say that it was definitely not anything nasty.
From there we went into the main bedroom (Sally’s room), Graham sat in a leather high backed seat, as he was picking up a male energy in this location. The temperature was hotter in this room, 26%degrees C; (note: there was no central heating or fires switched on in the building). The Hygrometer was reading 70% humidity, and again there was no reading on the EMF meter.
Graham said the man he was picking up on was about 60 years of age and he had died at this property, he also mentioned that this poor man had died from a complaint in his lower abdomen and that his body had not been found for quite some time (possibly several weeks). He said that he felt this man had spent a lot of his time in this bedroom and would often cuss (curse) at the kids through the window for making noise out side in the street. I asked for a time scale and Graham said that the year of 1945-46 came to mind. He said this spirit was definitely grounded here, and that he had smoked a pipe. The name of Jonathan Midgely came to mind, and Graham said this chap was a grumpy man!.
From there we moved back into the child’s room, humidity levels had fluctuated to 51% now…I was casting round the room when the EMF meter went ballistic!, right where the child’s chair was, but as we investigated further behind the chair, I discovered an electric socket (wall fitting), which explained the fluctuations…
Temperature was now at 15.8 degrees C. Again Graham said he felt something but still could not get a definite on this energy, again we moved out and on to the landing, where we took several pictures with the digital camera, and the resulting pictures showed several orbs.
From there we ventured downstairs, and spoke to Sally a little about what we had found, especially in her room, she admitted she had realised there was a male presence in her room. I asked he if she was uncomfortable with what we had found and she said that although she had a couple of spirits in the house, one which resides there (the male in the front bedroom), she didn’t feel threatened by them and when I asked her if she wanted us to clear them, she said it was ok at this time. I did say that if things changed and things did get unpleasant, we would be only too pleased to return and do a clearing for her.
Shortly before we left, Graham went up to the child’s room with a pendulum, to get a definite on what was in the child’s room. When he came back own stairs after a short while he told us that this spirit was in visitation, and that is was a boy, called Christopher Sykes, he had brown hair and blue eye’s, and his demeanour was that of a bit of a street urchin, the spirit told Graham he meant no harm and enjoyed visiting the child that lives in the house.
We then drew a close to the investigation, and thanked Sally for allowing us to investigate her home.
