Fat
Cat 12.45am 150 year old public house . Trigger objects
placed around house. Temperature, humidity and Emf reading
taken for base test, found high Emf readings around the
fires. Brenda asked if the Emf readings were due to back
boilers which I doubt due to no electric being used for
these. To start with I gave the group a tour of the pub
and a little history of the public house. The Public house
is reputedly haunted by a Ghost called Work house Mary who
loves to play tricks and move things around. The cellar
has now been replastered. Prior to the pub being built there
was a mill on the site which burnt down. In the upstairs
room there has been a figure of a woman seen by a previous
landlord who was working across the road. He ran back to
the public house to see who the intruder was, but found
no one but his wife that had been in the kitchen at the
time. We split into two groups. One group took the upstairs
while my group took the back bar room. Gaz took a picture
in the bar area with a strange orb shape that could not
be reproduced. I tried to contact Mary "the ghost"
by asking her to do something describing how she got pregnant,
was placed in the work house and had her child taken from
her. How she went mad how she was beaten and locked up until
she died of a fever. I could not contact the entity so I
tried to taunt it. I also asked who the mischievous spirit
was at which stage Brenda started to go into trance. An
entitiy came though called Tommy Wincanton though I found
it hard to hear what she was saying. I brought pen and paper
which seemed to confuse the spirit. Possibly Tommy Wincaot?
He told us he was 42 years old. He said he did not work
here but made pots. I asked if he could see us but was told
he could see Masie not Mary. He did not know what trams
were but knew what carts were. The date was thought to be
1897. I asked which school he attended and was told Brightside
school. I was told he left school at 14 and went into potting
Apparently he dug hearths or holes? for potting. The last
thing Tommy remembered was being ill in the pub. I asked
if Masie was here and was told yes she was. I asked if Masie
was here girlfriend and was told yes I asked if it was his
child she was carrying and the answer was yes. I asked if
he left her and was told no, left her to go into the work
house I said, again no he did not leave her. I had problems
again hearing what he was saying. I could not understand
what his reply was. I asked for Masie's surname and was
again unable to understand what was being said. Tommy seamed
to be talking to himself which we could not understand but
there seemed to be some concern regarding 4oclock and behind
the clock????. I asked for something to be moved in the
room. on further investigation afterwards I found one of
the trigger objects had moved. Our next investigation was
in the upstairs function room. Again in the upstairs room
I tried to contact any spirits First spirit to come through
was Jack who is one off Brenda’s guides. While in
trance a young soldier came through called Frank Constar?
who was travelling through to Derby. This spirit seemed
to be very disoriented and could not understand where he
was. I told him he was in the Alma Public house " pubs
previous name" He told me he came from up Thorn a place
where he lived in Derby. I asked why he was here and he
told me he was in the army, I asked what regiment he was
in but got no sense from him. I asked if he was in the Crimean
war or the second war, told the date was 1915, first world
war. I was told he was not training here. He is apparently
looking for home, I asked if he was injured he said 'bomb'
he was from the boing? His eye was injured. again I asked
if he was on his way home and was told no. He doesn't know
where he is. I asked his rank and was told no he would not
say. I demanded he told me his name rank and number by law
which he replied, Lance Corporal Frank Cartel, the number
I could not make out. He is married and trying to get home
but doesn't understand this. I asked what it was he didn't
understand and he replied 'here'. I asked what the last
thing was he remembered and was told 'Big flash' but cannot
remember coming home cannot remember leaving France.Last
thing he remembered was Big flash and explosion.We finished
the investigation upstairs with no more occurrences. We
believed the soldier either never returned from France or
was suffering from Shellshock Downstairs are picture of
various soldiers, could this be one of the soldiers. Our
next investigation we split up and each took up a vigil
in what ever place we wanted. I took up a vigil in the Cellar
area and found nothing at all out of the ordinary. At the
end of the night we all discussed what had happened during
the investigations The other team picked up on two children
in the function room and also an old lady who sat and stared.
Mikey described a man stood at the bar. One of the team
had a peanut thrown at them and a red thimble. We all found
the most active area to be the function room. While giving
the descriptions we all heard banging coming from above
as though some one was moving about. When we investigated
no one was there. Mikey told of a lot of movement and noise
while they were doing their investigation which he presumed
was us downstairs but we were not in the area he described.
Noises were also heard near the coal shoot. We found the
night very active and interesting. |
