I carried out some research on the area and found that there
was a Hotel on South end Road called Saxe Coburg and Gotha which
was changed to Royal House because we were at war with Germany
it was renamed to the Windsor in 1917. It is unclear when it was
demolished
Team: Brenda, Steve, various members of staff and public.
We had been called in to investigate several 'sightings' by staff.
Most of which were curtains moving, reflections in mirrors and
quick glimpses of things out of the corner of the eye.
We arrived at the venue at 11.30pm it was a large building built
about 80 years ago with a newer extension. The pub was still open
but it gave us a chance to get a feel for the place. The main
area of activity seemed to be centred around the concert room
area although various sounds had been heard from the flat upstairs.
WE decided to condense our search to the most common area of sightings
- the concert room. Before we started we decided to have a look
at the cellar as there are some kind of tunnels there we are arranging
to go back to check these out at a later date.
We set up trigger objects and a tape recorder on the stage as
this is the area where most of the activity has been experienced.
We also set up a video camera focused on the stage area and a
tape recorder near the bar and bingo area where a mans voice was
heard.
We checked the whole room for EMF readings and noted where the
wiring, electrical equipment, pipes, etc. were giving us readings.
We placed a room type thermometer on the pool table and checked
the room temperature with an infra red thermometer. The average
temperature in the room was 20 degrees. It was slightly colder
on the stage and there seemed to be a bit of a draught around
this area.
We settled down in an area where there were no EMF readings to
sit quietly and see if we would experience any of the alleged
happenings.
Steve took a few photos with a digital camera which he carried
on doing throughout the investigation. A few orbs were captured
on camera which, after close inspection, we attributed to dust.
Brenda picked up on an elderly lady in a coat with large checks;
this lady seemed to be recognised by some of the people present
as a customer.
After a while one of the ladies present screamed. She said that
something had hit her. Nothing happened for quite sometime and
some people left the room. After about 30minutes we were joined
by some other people who sat quietly and listened to what was
going on and being said. Several times Steve asked if there were
any spirits present but there was no response. Again someone said
they had been hit by something but this time we heard the sound
of something being thrown and on investigation we found it to
be a 5 pence piece. Certain people left the room and the rest
of us settled down to do a circle. Several spirits came through
Brenda in trance that were recognised by those present as past
customers, several names were given.
Our conclusion on the night was that any spirits that might be
present were past customers but there was no real activity, well
no spirit activity that is.
