We turned up at the royal oak at 10.30pm
but could not start the investigation until 11.45 when
the pub was closed and cleaned. Our first tour was around
the public house starting with the cellar and ending in
the attic. We split into two teams, Trigger objects were
placed around the pub and alarms set-up in various rooms.
the pub dates back to before 1300's. The pub itself is
a quaint old house small doors low ceiling and very atmospheric.
Our first vigil was in the main bar area while the other
team started in the attic area. While in the main bar
area Brenda picked up on a person dressed as a Quaker
stood near the old door way in the older part of the bar.
She also got a very strange sensation in her chest area,
orbs were captured on the video above our heads which at
one time would have been another floor. We had problems
focusing the camera in this location as though the camera
was trying to focus on something we could not see. The
temperature dropped quit drastically in this area. The
image on video around Brenda was very blur and quite strange
looking. Brenda also picked up on a old woman who moves
between the bars which was confirmed by the bar staff
that accompanied us. Apparently this part used to be a
butchers at one time but Brenda believed it was a Inn
before that, after checking a book about the history of
the pub it was found out to be a Inn dating back to the
16th century. Later in the investigation the camera started
to make a load chirping sound which we have never heard
before. Brenda saw a man (spirit) stood as though he was
on a floor that does not exist now looking out of the
window, dressed in a kind of tunic attire possibly dating
back to the crusades. Demont fort, Simon Demont fort,
Foresters, Who’s carrying the cross?, Dark-haired
man some kind of bishop being paid by someone possibly
thought to be some kind of puritan lots of strange puzzling
descriptions by Brenda. We then headed down to the cellar
area to see if we could find more information regarding
what we had just witnessed. The cellar was a arched type
area with a large stone slab in one corner. As soon as
we entered the cellar Brenda picked up on a entity with
brown straggly hair and rotten teeth, brown apron not
tall standing in the door way. She described the man as
wanting to enter the room but angry because we are there
in his room. Almost immediately Brenda went into trance
pulling the side of her face as though she had some deformity.
I asked for a name and after some coaching I got name
John, I also asked if he worked down here and was told
he scrap the meat. I was told this to make paste, and
worked for cottonon. I also asked why he was pulling the
side of his face and I managed to make out that he was
deformed by a arrow shot that went rotten and took most
of his cheek. he told me it was not a king when asked
what year it was but managed to find he was away fighting.
I found it very hard to understand what he was saying
as though he was a slow witted person. The king I managed
to find out had a lion on and had gone to fight???. Most
of the information I got was that he made the meat and
got paid two grouts, he lived down the side of the pub.
He thinks he was 37 years old and was born on a Monday,
everything was very difficult to understand and very confusing.
He informed me he was fighting for the king in a field
but was not a soldier. He works for him self and can make
his mark and make levy? which I believe is some kind of
payment. While talking to this entity the room got colder
and seemed to get a lot darker. Our next vigil was to
take place in the attic area. In the attic area were hundreds
of orbs or was it all me dust that was around. The attic
was small dark dusty with old oak beams. The Emf readings
in this area fluctuated quite a lot. A fog was thought
to have been seen in the darkness. Not a great deal was
witnessed in the attic but we were informed that noises
were heard as though something would be dragged around
up here. I asked if there was any spirits present and
to make a noise, touch one of us, show itself but got
nothing at all. A smell of tobacco was smelt at one stage
of the vigil in the attic as though some one had walked
past us smoking a pipe. The barmaid who was with us felt
strange sensation in her legs, and the other females felt
as though something was touching there legs, this lasted
for a few minutes. On play back of the video there was
a definite voice of a female which was not heard at the
time. Our last vigil took place on the 3rd floor which
consisted of 3 rooms. Brenda picked up on a crying girl
in this room but could not tell me why, she is crying
because some one is not coming back?. She believed to
be dressed in pre-Victorian times and is with baby, another
room where we got temperature drops. Brenda picked up
on a large gentleman with riding boots and breeches with
a jacket and tails. Andrew (investigator) thought this
room was a nursery with a little girl her possibly called
Victoria which was later some of it was confirmed by the
staff. Brenda picked up on a priest or monk who is present
who was corrupt who should have been working for the church
but was working for his own gratification. While Brenda
was describing this person the Emf readings started raising
drastically until it reached a high pitch.
Description Of what happened to the other
team during the investigation.
The other team picked up on the man in the
cellar, and also picked up on a dirty workman in the upstairs
bar, they also witnessed temperature drops. In the cellar
they felt as though there were possibly tunnels including
a well. They also heard a bang upstairs in the bar area
as well as foot steps. They also so a shape move as they
came up the stairs. In the attic they got a drop of temperature
of 10deg in a few seconds, plus lots of movement. The
trigger object I placed around the rooms 3 out of 4 had
moved, one had moved drastically. I placed 4 marbles on
talcum powder in the attic and one had moved half a inch
leaving a trail. Five nails I had lent up against the
upstairs fireplace, one had moved to the centre of the
floor which I found to be the most impressive item of
the night had some one knocked it we will never know. |
