Mick always sets up trigger objects
at each investigation, as you can see he writes the name
of the venue and date on the paper and draws round the coins
so that we can see if they move. After the investigation
this paper is filed along with case notes and any other
relevant information.You can see in the picture above that
on this occasion the chinese coin with the marble on moved
quite a bit with the marble still in place. If it had been
knocked (which was not possible as no one was on their own
with the coins) the marble would have rolled off. |

MANOR CASTLE PUB
We were invited to do an investigation
here by the landlady and her husband. We arrived about 11.45pm.
Mick did some base line tests and took a general look around
while the rest of us chatted to the landlady and a couple of
the customers who had stayed behind to tell us of their experiences.
Once the pub was clear of people Mick set up trigger objects,
a chinese coin with a marble on and a 10p piece placed on piece
of paper and drawn around. He then set up the night vision camcorder
and other equipment. We all moved into the 'snug' to do our
first vigil. Mick moved into the side bar and was joined by
Brenda who had seen movement around the floor area which had
made her feel quite uncomfortable and emotional. she said that
it looked like wounded men trying to crawl to safety. There
was a knocking sound from the seating area by the window although
there was nobody there. Mick thought he had seen shadows in
this bar. Brenda said she felt that the bar went straight through
to the other side at one time. (this was later picked up by
Mikey when he thought that he saw someone walking through this
area). Brenda picked up on there being a skirmish or battle,
she said that Wessexs men had attacked the castle in the area
of the pub and that many were killed and injured. Some of the
details were later confirmed by a local historian. Both Mikey
and Brenda picked up on a young woman in the area. Mikey, Mick
and Brenda all heard knocking in the same area and saw dark
shapes.
We all moved to the front bar to do
a vigil but this area was very quiet. We decided to call it
a night and let the landlady get to bed. When Mick checked the
trigger objects it was found that one of the Chinese coins with
a marble on top of it had moved about a quarter of an inch although
the other one on the same piece of paper had not moved at all.
It was definite that no one had touched the coins as no one
had been alone at any time. All in all a very interesting investigation.
