Railway
Station, small village in Kent - Friday 9/06/1972. Brenda,
Michael, Gerald. Arrived
at the station at
1am
(which seemed to be out in the middle of nowhere - there didn't
seem to be any houses so why they would need a station is any
ones guess). We were met by the Station Master, whose name was
Jim, who told us about the spooky goings on along the line between
his station and the next. After sorting the equipment we needed
to take with us and locking the rest in the Station Masters box.
We set off down the line towards the next station. We experienced
the usual shadows and noises of the night but nothing unusual,
apart from one spot where there seemed to be a real feeling of
sadness (it wasn't exactly sadness but can't really desribe the
feeling, maybe hurt describes it better) then fear, then total
relief. We took photos (which yielded nothing), held a vigil,
Gerald did some scientific tests but nothing unusual showed up.
Again a few shadows but these could be attributed to imagination
because of the feelings we were getting or just the fact it was
early hours of the morning. I would like to add that both my companions
were complete sceptics. We carried on to the next station where
we met its Station Master, Brian, who told us that a man had thrown
himself in front of a train at the spot where we had the feelings.
The man was decapitated and they had to send out a team to search
for his head which was found almost 4 miles away. We stayed at
this station listening to the Station Masters' tales of life on
the railway, we drank coffee and ate doughnuts. about 5.45am we
made our way back up the track to the first station. Although
we did not get much evidence of ghostly goings on it was an interesting
night never the less.
Church
Crypt London - 19/07/1994 -
Investigation team Bren, Simon, Denise, Mike (sage). On
entering the crypt all of the team felt a presence. Bren said
she felt that children had been bought for a few shillings from
a workhouse across the road (she pointed in the direction) and
brought to the church to work. She said when they did not do as
they were told they were put into a cell in the corner of the
crypt and then the door was bolted from the outside. On moving
some boxes this cell/room was found (with the outer bolt), there
appeared to be scratches on the inside of the door; made by a
child's finger nails? Bren said that children were sent from the
workhouse to the Colonies. She picked up on an old school next
door (which still exists). All members of the group felt a very
strong link to Aleister Crowley and thought that there had been
a black mass held in the crypt. Bren said she could see bodies
laid out in rows along one side of the crypt but not in coffins,
just covered, she thought it was 'wartime'. One side of the crypt
appeared to be hazy and something seemed to be moving about although
nothing was captured on the cameras or other equipment. The group
sat in vigil for two hours. There were various noises like someone
dragging something. Shadows, cold spots. A door creaked and there
was definately no draught. The crypt was icy cold, but then again
crypts usually are. Bren picked up on a priest who 'liked boys'
and who later committed suicide because he could not live with
the guilt. Upstairs a figure was seen by three of the team looking
over the gallery. A skinny young boy was seen by Bren and Denise,
he walked with a limp due to a twisted leg. He was given his keep
for lighting the candles and tending to the altar.
The
workhouse location was confirmed by a local historian and that
children were shipped to the colonies and bought to work in the
church. The priest story was also confirmed. It was also confirmed
that the crypt was used to store bodies of bombing victims in
the war.
There
are in existance several photos that were taken by Simon, one
of an orb is shown on our front page (courtesy of and copyright
to Simon Weale © 1994. These photos were taken on film and
had to be developed by the local chemist. PICTURE

Site - 11th September
2004 we conducted a psychic investigation on an old building.
There was definate evidence of psychic activity although most of
it is residue from people who had visited the site and were happy
while there but had not died on the site. On the 'pictures' page
are just two of the many interesting photos and video footage from
the investigation, Many orbs and shadows were seen and several spirits
came through the medium. |

| Stocksbridge Byepass
- Early last year. While doing an investigation up at Stocksbridge
Byepass just off Pea Royd Road , We took pictures and set up an
EVP experiment while out taking pictures we left the recorder on.
When we returned to the car and listened to the recording we got
just static. While on a vigil we noticed a mist outside the car
but only at one side. The windows on the side of the mist produced
condensation on the outside which we couldn't explain. On returning
home and examining the recording putting through the computer and
removing some static we found we had the voice of a girl singing
in the remaining static. |

19th Century Coach House. - 13th November 2004 -
Investigation team Mick Timmins Brenda Diskin & Richard Brammall.
First part of the night was conducted touring the Wentworth Follies,
all of the follies were quite interesting but one in particular
was exceptional with lots of activity. Brenda and Richard saw various
unexplained shadows and movement around the monument. We then ventured
into Derbyshire to an old abandoned 19th Century Coach House, when
we first entered the building we all heard banging sounds emanating
from the upstairs rooms. While investigating the upper level to
see what was banging the sound appeared to be coming from down stairs.
While down stairs in the kitchen area we all registered significant
temperature drops and all witnessed movement of shadows. Brenda
picked up on various spirit entities in the same area, while the
nightvision camera was set up in the other room Brenda saw a man
standing in the doorway who she thought was me or Richard but we
were both in the kitchen area at the time. We also captured unexplained
orbs on nightvision camera. All in all we found it a very successful
Sheffield Paranormal Investigation. |

| Private House Rotherham.
Manchester Trip Cancelled due to weather- 20th November 2004
- Investigation team Mick & Brenda. We were invited
to a private house in Rotherham because the home owner had reported
problems and believed there to be paranormal activity in the house.
As soon as we entered the property Brenda picked up a malevolent
presence straight away. The interview with Mr X revealed that he
believed he was possessed by Mathew Hopkins (Witch Finder General),
and also that he and a group of people had been experimenting with
a Ouiga Board which had allowed the malevolent spirit to enter the
property. This had caused Mr X to act completely out of character
and in fact had become violent towards his wife. While Mr X was
in a trance like state Brenda conversed with the spirit who said
he was Mathew Hopkins and managed to persuade said spirit to move
out of Mr X's body. The house was then cleansed of all traces of
the entity. Mr X says that he feels the spirit has now gone and
hopes his life will be back to normal. |

| Sheffield Paranormal
Investigations Ghostwalk(drive actually)-26th
November 2004 - Investigation team Mick, Brenda, Richard
and Gaz. This was just a quick tour around some of the haunted sites
to show Gaz the area and places we plan to visit. The night started
with a visit to Wentworth 15th century chapel which is well worth
a visit day or night. Our next visit was to the old Hunting Lodge
at Hoyland this is 18th century building, Gaz got a strange picture
here we will post the picture when Gaz sends it us. Then it was
off to one of my old favourite haunts excuse the pun Rockley Furnace
which is a 15th century monument we have always found this place
very active. Then off again I decided to check out the old tower
in a little copse just off Stockbridge bypass, The information I
have found on this item is that its mentioned on a old map 1700
but not mentioned as a water tower which it is now, looking at this
place you can see that the water tank was added at a later date.
Branda feels a lot of negativity regarding this building. Our next
jaunt was to the old Coach house we found a few months ago in Derbyshire,
but passing through Bradfield I couldn't resist showing Gaz and
Richard the old Church and burial mounds. The Burial mounds, Bailey
hills, are supposed to be burial mounds of ancient Chieftains including
their Treasure. While travelling down the country lanes to the Coach
house we all saw white ghostly figure float across the road. Because
we all saw it I decided to turn around and retrace our steps if
you can call it that driving, But driving back we came to the conclusion
that it must have beeen the cars head lights reflecting back of
something even though we couldn't find what. When we got to the
Coach house Gaz was so amazed by the building that we spent the
rest of the night there. Richard got prodded, he was wearing a very
padded jacket and you could see what looked like the indent from
someones fingers on his jacket. Brenda and I picked up on various
Entities, we all experienced strange lights, Orbs and sudden temperature
drops. Gaz suggested we do an investigation early January which
will be an all night vigil. Update while at the Coach House
we set up a recorder to see what would record (EVP) and got some
very startling results. |

| Call for help
- 4th December 2004 - Investigation team Mick, Brenda. We
were contacted by a Gentleman who said he thought he had some pictures
of entities on his camera. Last Sunday we went to interview him
and he told us that he was thinking of buying a Public house in
Rochdale. While viewing the property he took a lot of photos which
is how he came to find some unexplained images on the camera. The
man seemed to be very genuine and there was some very interesting
footage on his camera even though the quality wasn't very good.
We said that we would take a trip to Rochdale and check out the
public house. 8th December 2004 - Today we took the
trip to the public house, the pub is in quite a rough looking area.
Once inside the pub we had the problem of trying to take pictures
and look around without drawing attention to ourselves. We found
the pub had quite a heavy atmosphere I managed to take a few photos,
Brenda picked up that it had once been a very busy pub with a party
atmosphere. She also picked up on a landlady with blonde hair tied
back, slim, about 40 and a bit tarty, also picked up on an old man
who used to sit in the corner of the front room and passed with
heart attack and also had a wooden leg. We have told our client
that if he takes over the public house we will do a full investigation. |

| Anston Stones
and Roche Abbey. 10th December 2004
- Investigation team Mick Timmins, Brenda Diskin, Richard Brammall
& Gaz Crompton. First part of the night was conducted touring
the woods at Anston Stones, looking for the legendary Padfoot which
is suppose to be a mythical black panther with out much success.
The information we researched before setting out also told of a
ghostly apparition seen near the rockface and a deadmans cave, neither
of these things were found. The area is a great place to visit though,
but we found nothing out of the ordinary. Around midnight we proceeded
to Roche Abbey I must admit it is what you would expect a haunted
site to look like dark gloomy and very misty. Because the Abbey
is fenced off we could only walk around the outside. We did investigate
the old ruins at the entrance which is not fenced off which turned
out to be very productive for Richard and Brenda who both saw various
apparitions in the old entrance building. We have not had chance
to study the photos and film taken yet but I would not be surprised
if we have not captured some good footage. The temperature kept
falling in certain areas, Video would not focus on certain areas
and we all heard unexplained noises. I believe this is a very active
site. |

at 10pm. A quiet, very sophisticated public house which had a very
homely and welcoming atmosphere. After some light refreshment while
waiting for the last customers to leave I conducted my base line
tests. Nothing was found out of the ordinary regarding temperature
readings or Emf readings. We set up trigger objects in various parts
of the Inn, as well as motion detectors and beam barriers, then
settled down with our cameras and videos to see if we could capture
any anomalies. Brenda picked up on spirits from the land and a old
man who liked to sit near the fire. No other spirits or orbs were
witnessed on film or camera. Nothing else was picked up by any other
members of the group. We found this place very pleasant and welcoming
but couldn't really say we found anything out of the ordinary regarding
the Inn, except it is a great place to visit for a friendly drink
with good company. Thank you to the landlord for allowing us to
investigate his fantastic public house. |

Percy - 18th June 2005 - full
investigation. What a strange place, out on the york moors,
abandoned village. We arrived just before night fall to this 1500's
village to spend the night The area is quiet as a grave no sounds
are heard in this place no birds singing, just the sound of the
wind blowing through the old ruins . The village was ravaged by
the great plague which killed most of the villages the rest were
evicted to make way for sheep farming. Through out the night strange
sounds were heard, mediums picked up on upsetting sequences that
occured many years before. All in all a very forboding place not
recomended for the faint hearted to spend the night there.

Batteries dead, equipment not working. This had to be one of the
most active places we had visited in a long time. Shadows moved
across doorways spells written on walls evidence of black candles
being used by someone, no wonder this place was so active.

Tontine
Hotel Iron Bridge Shropshire - 1st October 2005
- full investigation.
We took a team of 12 to investigate
reports of hauntings at this Shropshire hotel. We were a little
disappointed to find that, although previously agreed, we would
not be allowed to do a vigil in the cellar or the staffroom annex.
We did however have access to rooms 5 and 9 and the function room.
We did not find there to be much activity in the function room.
In room 5 Brenda (who was working with group1) went into trance
and channelled a man who had committed a murder, but believe this
to be much earlier than Frank Griffin who is said to haunt this
room. The 2nd group picked up on various spirits and had quite
a lot of movement in room 9. There was an extremely 'heavy' feeling
in room 5 and several of the group felt light headed and sick,
but other than this there was no real evidence to back up the
hauntings. Conclusion is that there are spirits in the hotel but
these are recordings in time which did show up on camera or camcorder.
But we will carry on searching in the hope of finding the 'ultimate
proof'.

Private House, High
Green, Sheffield - 14/10/05 - full investigation.
Arrived 10pm. 3 bedroom 1950's privately owned
house on main road. Team Bren, Mick, Gaz, Dave, Roy. Mick set up various trigger objects and beam
barriers. He took baseline readings in all rooms. We set up video
cameras and a 35mm camera on tripods. We took random photos with
polaroid and digital cameras.
Mick had set up paper on cotton across stair
well and this started moving slightly, but although we couldn't
feel a breeze we could not dismiss the possibility. The lights
flickered a little in the living room and the hallway a few times.
The living room was on a dimmer switch. The hallway was on a normal
on/off switch. The wiring didn't look to be in bad condition although
some of it looked quite old. We did find that sound carried in
the house. This was proved by Brenda having a conversation with
Mick who she thought to be in the bedroom, but he was in fact
talking to Roy in the room downstairs.
We carried out various vigils throughout
the night both separately and as a group. Brenda and Dave both
picked up on an old man that had lived in the house, he had a
stroke and bad legs. Brenda also picked up on a little boy. We
believe this to be 'residue' of people that had lived in the house.
There was no real psychic activity during the night, although
the light pull in the bathroom did start to swing at one point
although no one had touched it. Not sure if it was a draught or
not. As per usual there was a high EMF reading over the bed although
there was no electric blanket or no apparent cause. We believe
that the young lady who lives in the house could be a catalyst
for the activity. We spoke to her and have decided that Mick and
Brenda will revisit the house with her and see if anything happens
when she is present.
Mick and Brenda returned to the house on 20/10/05 with the young lady and her boyfriend. From
what we could see the young lady is opening herself up to the
residual energies in the house which means that she is experiencing
the presence of a man on the stairs. Because she is not an experienced
medium she is unable to control the feelings that she is experiencing
causing energy surges which could well be making objects move
and lights flicker. Brenda coached her in the art of closing herself
down and will be doing a follow up session to see if this is working.

| The
Room Barnsley - 15th October 2005 - full investigation.
Arrived at 10pm the building is believed to be around 1800's and
was thought at one time to be a brothel. Investigation of the upstairs
room revealed the spirits of at least 2 entities one which possibly
died due to a works accident resulting in rib injuries. The other
entity as been witnessed by variuos people including our team as
a mischievious spirit who likes to push people. The cellar was very
active and our medium tried to manifest a spirit which she felt
was near. Thank you to the people who allowed us to investigate
this very intresting establishment |

House, Chesterfield - Jan 20th 2006
- Team Mick, Bren, Mikey, Gaz, Roy, Rod 100 plus years old
terraced cottage. Man, wife and adult son live there and 6 year
old grandchild stays from time to time. We arrived at 10pm. Mick
did all the usual preliminary baseline tests. There was no real
fluctuation in the reported 'haunted' area of the house. There was
a slight EMF reading in the bathroom doorway and the mediums felt
a slight 'electrical charge' in this area but nothing majorly unusual.
Mick set up trigger objects which were checked at the end of the
night and had not moved. 4 vigils were carried out but no real activity
occurred. The house was quite cluttered and it was difficult to
distinguish anything extraordinary from shadows and shapes made
by day to day objects and items of clothing. A small boy came through
Brenda in trance but, apart from names, not a lot of information
was gained. Mikey had a red mark appear on his face under his left
eye, which apparently tied in with something that the family in
the house had experienced but he could not say how this had happened
and it could just have been a coincidence with a logical explanation.
There is also a cat in the house which seems to be quite happy and
content and does not seem bothered about going into the 'haunted'
area. Conclusion: If there is anything in the house it is probably
something that the family, or a member of the family, are picking
up on (or creating) and relaying to each other and the house. Brenda
gave them some hints on how to deal with it and told them to call
her if they needed more help. Thanks to the family for allowing
us to do the investigation, and all members of the team for their
professionalism. |

What an amazing place this is. We were
made very welcome by Mark and Steve. There was an excellent
room set aside for us to use as a base and a most welcoming
log fire in a cauldron in the witches courtyard. Probably one
of the most 'atmospheric' buildings we have been too.
Mick and Brenda's team held their first
vigil in the upstairs area near the plague cottage where they
experienced a strong smell of urine which kept coming and going.
Brenda and Young Jon checked out the area (displays and clothing
on the dummys etc.) for possible sources of the smell but found
nothing to explain why this was happening. Brenda picked up
on a woman named Eliza who was "nearly in my 70th year" and
had been thrown out on the streets because she could not pay
her way, it was believed that she had been a prostitute in her
younger days. The name of William was also picked up on and
Matthew Hopkins made his presence known.
Mikey and Roy's team were at the tavern
end of the upstairs area, where they experienced a lot of strange
smells, shadows and lights. A lot of the team felt very nauseous.
They picked up on two William's and a middle aged woman called
Jane with a bad injury to her face. It was later confirmed (after
some research was carried out a few days later) that the woman
was a witch who had been stabbed in the face in the alley next
to the building. The team swapped places and much of the same
phenomena was experienced

charity function for RSPCA - June 10th 2006 About
8 of us did a mini investigation for the RSPCA charity in June 2006.
We sat in vigil in the cellar and picked up on a man of about 50ish
who we believed to be called Dan from about 1600's. There was a
lot of movement in the cellar on this night witnessed by most of
the people attending. We also had a strange photo taken in the shop
(not an orb). OUR RESIDENT

GHOST HUNT NIGHT - June 10th 2006 - Members
of another group were invited to join our guests on the Ghost Hunt
Night
Brenda has visited this site several times since over
a period of several years but this was the first time with a large
group. What a great venue. Excellent buffet and tour of the caves.
We split into 2 groups and several people experienced
the feelings of being watched or followed at various times and
in several different parts of the caves. We had various shadows,
lights etc. A young woman who died as a result of an incident
in the caves was felt or seen by several people. Various
other spirits were picked up on or channelled by the medium. Several
people felt like they were being pushed backwards. Some felt nauseous
and dizzy. In the early hours of Sunday morning we had the ultimate
climax to the evening when we were 'visited' by something
very unexpected where every one witnessed Brenda get possessed
by a unknown demonic entity. Truely a very frightning night..
A very entertaining evening. Lots of action.

Sheffield Firestation Museum
- June 3rd, July15 and August 19th 2006
This has to be one of Sheffields most active buildings,
To be locked in a haunted cell at midnight is something to experience.
The upper floors have 3 spirits present one called Tom Courts
who died of heartattack at the age of 57, retired early due to
illness. We also picked up on the presence of a lady who hung
herself in one of the upstairs dormatories. In the cells there
is the presence of two spirits who were whitnessed by varoius
members of our group. If anyone is intrested in a return visit
please contact us.

Bolling hall GHOST HUNT NIGHT
- August 12th 2006 - Members of another
group were invited to join our guests on the Ghost Hunt Night
One of Bradfords oldest houses. The amount of activity
in this very strangely built building is indescribeable I can
see why none of the previous security guards would stop long when
working here. Many strange noises, doors opening on their own,
childrens laughter, many undescribeable shadows, smells. Anyone
taking a visit with any ghost group will not be disapointed with
this venue.

in the building previously.

Private
House Beighton - May 14th 2007
We were called in
to investigate some strange findings and feelings in the house.
There have been several people living in the house since it was
built in the 1960's. The house was previously owned by a very
religious black family who used psalms and pages from the bible
to protect their home. These were put under the wallpaper. I have
since found out that certain religions use this method not only
to protect the home but also to guard against drug abuse and the
use of pornography in their homes.
There appeared to be initials in blood under the carpet but these
turned out to be a few small varnish drips that someone had used
their finger to write in. The house itself did have a slightly
negative feeling in certain areas, not surprising considering
it is built on an area steeped in history next to a building that
has been there in one shape or form since the 1200's, there has
been at least one major disaster and possibly a battle fought
near there.
The village itself seems to be situated on six ley lines which
explains the 'whoosh' of energy experienced by the couple, which
seemed to come up from the floor.
The couple and at least one of their children appear to be very
psychic so therefore could be causing a portal to open to let
certain energies in.
The added problem is that the family have been made more nervous
by people telling them that there have been sacrifices made in
their home and that the house is possessed by demons. I would
like to stress at this point that the couple are quite level headed
and dismissed this but you can see how if something like this
is said it can stick in your mind and every little incident that
occurs from then on will be accompanied by an "I wonder?"
There is, obviously, some degree of spirit presence in the home
as would be expected from an area steeped in history. I am inclined
to think that the lady of the house is quite a strong channel
for spiritual energy but being scared stiff of seeing anything
and being made even more nervous by would be D**** A*****'s /
Witches has made the situation escalate.
We will be helping the couple through this with advice and any
practical help that is needed.

- 4th July 2007 - Investigation team Brenda, Kirk,
Rachel. We were called to this house with reports of voices recorded
on mobile phones, strange noises in the kitchen and things moving.
We found the family, especially the mother, to be very highly strung.The
voices on the phone seemed to be the television playing in the other
room. Noises in the kitchen were due to electrical equipment switching
on. The objects moving were dismissed by the daughter as her mothers
imagination fueled by watching too many ghost hunting programmes
on TV. The team were inclined to agree with her. But... we did tell
the woman if she had any more problems we would take another look. |

The Ball Inn Grimesthorpe Halloween
Investigation for the Star Newspapers website - 28th October
2007 - Investigation team, Brenda, Elise, Bridget, Jill,
Daniel and Richard from the Star who was recording the proceedings.
The Star photographer turned up to take photo's. The evening was
a bit influenced by the fact the pub was still open and noises
heard could have been coming from the bar but never the less the
team picked up on a little girl and a man with a leather apron
who worked in the cellar. The footage was published on the Stars
website

| Private House Canklow
- 5th January 2008 - We were asked to investigate because
various items had been moving, mechanical toys had been switching
on by themselves, the eldest child who is two years old had been
talking to an invisible person. When we arrived at the house we
did all the usual baseline tests. There were very high EMF readings
all over the lower floor of the house which did not fluctuate, we
checked for wiring, pipes, etc and established where they were situated.
We managed to determine that the house was situated where Ley lines
crossed over. The child we discovered had been conversing with the
dead child of a friend of the family. There is quite an interesting
history surrounding the area. 1856 an old flour mill burnt down
by arson. 1891 there was a mining accident in which six men died.
There was a Bronze Age settlement in nearby woodland and either
cairns or barrows. Interesting investigation. |

| Haunted Caves -
Saturday 5th April 2008. We were told about some haunted
caves in Derbyshire. So the story goes - a group of three pot holers
were visiting a largish network of pipes when one of them thought
he saw a figure in his headlamp beam. When he looked again there
was no one there putting it down to imagination he carried on moving
through the pipes. On the way back when they got to the same place
(where the pipes opened out into a medium sized cave) all three
of them saw the same figure. Realising it was not actually a person
they became quite alarmed and decided to leave as quickly as possible.
Well we had to take a look - didn't we? Off we went with some head
torches, Ropes etc. We didn't see anything out of the ordinary but
haunted or not these caves were certainly interesting PICTURES |

| Old Theatre - Friday
25th April. 2008. Team: Bren, Mick, Stevie, James. We arrived shortly
after 11pm. When we entered it was obvious the place had been badly
vandalised at some stage. We managed to find our way around the
lower floor easily enough although there was a lot of debris. There
were a lot of noises which we put down to rubble moving caused by
vibration of us moving about (or possibly rats). It was quite sad
to see what once was a quite a grand building in such a state of
disrepair. We did all the usual base line tests. We had been told
that a ghostly figure had been seen in this building by a couple
of people. We sat quietly in vigil for about two hours. The mediums
picked up the usual presence of people who would have visited the
building etc., but apart from the odd sound there didn't seem to
be much going on. We did get a weird mist on one photo it definately
wasn't 'graveyard breath' and we could not reproduce it. There were
no drastic temperature changes and the EMF's weren't registering
anything unusual. So although we think there was probably a rational
explanation for it we couldn't seem to find one. Unfortunately no
ghostly figure. We left about 2.30pm. |
