The Red Lion Investigation (part two) Date: Sunday 9th April 2006 Members Present: Dawn, Joan, Russ, Tracy, Wendy, Graham, Michael. Our first visit to the Red Lion in Pontefract, had been quite eventful, and before we left, we made arrangements for a follow up investigation to take place, which is why Haunted Yorkshire have returned to this dramatic location.... The investigation started at approximately 7pm, and after setting up base camp in the old disused kitchens on the first floor, we all set off for tonight's investigation. The Ballroom Temp: 10.1 Humidity: 42% EMF Readings: Fluctuating 1.5MG to 2MG (no electrical sources in the room, electricity off) Graham and Tracy paced round for a while getting feelings in the room...Tracy commented on having a feeling of children's a children's party, whilst Graham was stood in a corner of the Ball Room once again picking up on the energy of a woman... Wendy walked over with the dowsing rods, which strangely crossed at the exact spot as Graham was mentioning about this lady, I checked EMF readings there and the EMF meter sprang into life going up to 3 MG for a split second, before returning down to 1.5MG. Russ, our cam op, had stopped filming and was reporting feeling sick and drained, so at this point filming was stopped, and Russ went for a sit down. (little did we know-not to return !!) . Graham decided to use his pendulum to try to ask some yes & no questions of this mystery lady in the corner of the ballroom....she confirmed she worked there, and that she was happy there, and was under 40 yrs of age when she passed over, and when Graham asked for a date she indicated that it was the 1700's. The hallway to the Ball Room was causing Graham quite a bit of discomfort, as he was essentially feeling a painful stabbing sensation under his ribs to his right hand side....The dowsing rods were used again in this area, which once again started to become crossed and again, & the EMF meter readings went up exactly where Graham had said he felt an energy. By now Tracy had arrived in the hallway, and she too said she felt a pain in her side...Humidity readings were 30% in the hallway, with EMF readings fluctuating between 1.5 & 2 Milligause. Tracy reported that she was having her head touched. Graham once again used his pendulum to ask yes and no questions, and found the name of Oliver Haywood was prominent, and his age was 65 yrs old on passing over, at this point my EMF meter read 4 Milligause for a short time then back down to 1.5. The man Graham was in contact with (Oliver Haywood), was wearing glasses, a shirt and waist coat, but the painful stabbing pain was back in his side, and the name of George also came through. Tracy reported feeling quite sick during this time. Graham asked the spirit of Oliver whether he had stabbed someone, and he gave Graham a clear indication that he had stabbed George fatally over an argument about money! Oliver said he had not intended to kill George, but confirmed he had and had served time for this crime! Graham asked for a date and 1724 was confirmed...Tracy went on to describe a knife with a blade about 4 inches long which resembled a bowie knife. At that point Graham said that the energy had gone and EMF readings confirmed no reading of any electromagnetical sources. Private Flat, First Floor Humidity: 40% EMF Readings: 2 MG Fluctuating to 3 MG Tracy was picking up the energy of a woman, in her 20's, with blonde hair and of slim build. She said she look relatively modern, 1960's, and was about 5"7 in height. The name of Joanna came to mind. Once again emf readings were fluctuating and the dowsing rods crossed in certain areas of the room. On entering one of the other rooms in this flat Tracy picked up on the energy of a male who was large in build who had a heart condition, she also commented on the feeling of a buzzing atmosphere in this room, and how she would feel uneasy staying any length of time in there. Top Floor, End Bedroom Air temp: 22.5 Humidity: 42% EMF: Fluctuating Graham felt as though he had been pushed, and gets a bad feeling in this room, the feeling of dodgy dealings...This is the room when we last visited, that Graham sensed there had been an abortion carried out... Spot temp readings with the gun shows 7 degrees. Once again we had a slight reading of 1.5MG where Graham said there was an energy. Top Floor Corridor All of the team agreed this was not a pleasant part of the building, and it wasn't long before one by one, practically everyone reported feeling nauseous! Russ had long gone from the investigation, reporting feeling sick, and now Tracy, Wendy, Myself and the bar maid, said we were also now feeling physically sick.... so we briefly spent just a minute or two in the few rooms on this floor...Graham was once again picking up on the energy of the clergy man, who wasn't very happy we were there.... Graham said he wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't get something thrown at us if we stayed, plus with people feeling nauseous ... it was time we decided to move on. Main Bar Area-Ground Floor EMF: 1.5-Fluctuating A few members of the team sat down and had a coffee in the bar area, & reported feeling very tired... the customers were long gone and the bar area was in darkness, I was feeling very drained and sat down, whilst three or four of the others carried on... Graham went off to the very back of the pub where he was being drawn...He said he was seeing a horse and cart, which appeared to be delivering coal, or something in sacks... and had writing on the side, with the name of T.A.Howarth... Tracy had picked up on the energy of a man sat in the reading room, who would be about 80 yrs old. Wendy asked Tracy where she had seen this man, as she had felt a presence in that room earlier, Tracy confirmed that she was indeed right about what she had felt... Once again, time had over taken us and we had to draw the investigation to a close... Many thanks once again to Toby and thanks for loaning us your father, Michael, for the evening!
