Once again we met at a private location where we often find ourselves returning. The spirits are starting to become familiar to us by name but we try to take it further each time. Si, and Sue and I were joined by two others called Kevin and Matt who are open minded and curious about the paranormal. We started the evening by setting up cameras and other equipment around the location. We decided to start down in the kitchen on this night as we had never done down there before. People always felt something down there at night when investigating and yet we just never got round to actually doing much down there other than leaving an audio recorder in there. We seemed to pick up shuffling and possible voices but because we were uncertain we had to discard the findings.
We were setting up with all the lights on and Sue's K2 meter lit up to maximum. Then the gauss meter clicked so there was a high electrical field which had not been there moments before. This is now quite predictable at this location. There is an eagerness to communicate usually and you have to hurry to get set up.
I left my gauss meter turned on upstairs and set a video camera recording just watching that. There was also another audio recorder sat next to the meter. I shall have to refer to what was caught upstairs whilst writing what we did at the same time in the kitchen.
SESSION 1: Kitchen.
The five of us sit around the yes/no board in the kitchen with an IR camera recording us and an audio recorder nearby since the camera doesn't have a mic yet. We always start with 'protection' and this was done whilst we relaxed into the room. We all lightly touched the glass and asked for any spirits to move the glass to yes. Nothing happened at first. In fact ten minutes past with no movement. This is sometimes the way but we knew the spirits were around so persevered. We continued asking out and finally the glass dragged to 'YES'
"is this David?" ''NO'
"Is it Luke?". 'YES'
"it's good to talk to you again Luke". 'YES'
"Luke, did you know we were coming?". 'YES
"How many spirits are here tonight Luke?" we counted out from one and waited for the glass to move. It moved on '7'.
"Are they the same ones that we have met before?" 'YES
The glass starts to go in a circle motion which in the past seems to be a sign of building up energy.
"Luke do you still hang out on the back corner?". 'YES'
We are told that Luke can be found in one corner upstairs and Tom in the opposite corner. Tom was discovered by another group who briefly visited as our guests. It is said that Tom used to work here in this building in the past.
Sue asks Luke if he can take the glass around the edge of the square table. The glass does as commanded and traces the square shape of the table. The glass starts to move in circles again and we ask if it can change direction. The glass slows quickly and starts moving in circles in the opposite direction.
"Luke, can you speak to other spirits on your side?". 'YES'
"Are you aware that we visit other places and communicate with other passed on spirits? 'YES'
"So did you know that we have been to the West Riding Pub in Leeds?". 'YES'
Sue is convinced that someone has sat next to her on the bench.
"Do you know Mary, a spirit from the pub in Leeds?" 'YES'
"Has Mary told you that we have visited her?". 'YES'
"OK, we are going to the West Riding Pub next week to arrange an event, what day are we meant to be going?" Luke does not stop the glass on the correct day.
"Will you tell Mary that we are coming and that we thank her for not breaking many things in the bar anymore". 'YES'
(the camera upstairs has been recording the gauss meter click every now and again. In the review I also heard a strange tapping sound like that of dogs nails on the concrete floor. I don't know what it was ultimately but I also confess that it was looped at times like the noise was going on repeat. It may have been the tape I was recording on fraying and the edge and causing the noise inside the camcorder. If that was to blame then the noise will be over the next footage that I review with this tape too no matter what I have recorded on it. Otherwise it was a noise I caught which I couldn't explain.)
A few minutes later and we asked Luke to go and effect our equipment upstairs. We looked at the time and stayed quiet for a minute. The glass had moved to YES accepting the challenge. Interestingly it was at this time that my meter did slowly build from one click to three and on and on until it shrieked with it's crackly noise at full measurement which is a reading that you would get off a kitchen appliance which is working. The glass had not moved in the time that we sat quiet as if there was no spirits present at that moment.
"Please move the glass to yes when you have done it". 'YES'
"Is there someone sat next to Sue?". 'YES"
"Is it you Luke?". 'YES'
We ask Luke a few questions to find out if he likes our group and would he come with us to help on other investigations. This would prove interesting if evidence of this presented itself. Luke says he will help us at our next event in Haworth so time will tell.
Luke remembers Haworth because he was from this area in life. We communicate further and learn some bits we already knew and try and expand on them.
Luke says he is 19. Born in 1970. He died in 1989 from a motorbike accident where he was driving in the September of that year.
We ask Luke to drop the temperature on my thermometer and nothing happens. Si asks the same thing on his laser thermometer and the start reading is 16.6 degrees C.
The temperature drops on the red dot area at the end of the laser to 16.4 then 16.2. Si prompts Luke to make it a round 16 and it complies.
"Luke do you come in visitation?". 'YES' so he obviously chooses to come here and is not stuck because of his accident.
"Is there light where you are?". 'YES'
"Would you use the description 'Heaven'?". 'YES'
"Is moving the glass, the easiest way for you to communicate?". 'YES'
(upstairs the strange repetitive tapping is louder than before, but still has the same rhythmic pattern at times and then stop starts a little)
"Do you enter this building through a doorway so to speak in a certain part of the location?". 'YES'
We list different parts of the location and he says that he comes in through one office in particular. When asked if Luke can open and shut a door upstairs for us he replies that he can and will. Nothing is discovered out of the ordinary though.
(the gauss meter clicks once and then again and then flies up to maximum before slowly backing down again to nothing)
"were you unsure of us the first time we spoke to you Luke because you were reticent to let us even know your name?". 'YES'
"But do you trust us now?". 'YES'
"Have you spoken to others on your side?". 'YES'
We ask if the spirit knows a relative of one of our guests and he says he does so we ask him to pick out his name from a list that we say. The correct name is signalled by the glass moving to 'YES'.
(upstairs there is more electrical energy playing with the meter)
We ask Luke if there are spirits at Sue's house and the room goes quiet and the glass feels empty. We wonder if he has in some way gone to look. Then it springs to life again and moves to 'NO'.
We then ask if there are spirits at one of our guests. The table goes quiet again for around twenty seconds. Then the glass moves to 'YES' so we count and wait for movement. Luke signifies that their are 5 spirits at the house and they are all female two of whom our guest is related to and the others are former residents at the house.
The guest himself confirms ladies names that the spirit agrees with after a list of false names and real names are mixed and said in a list.
We decide to take a break.
(during the review of my camcorder footage there were many single clicks on the gauss meter and also large readings at times. A rooms standard reading is 0.1mg but I had readings of 10mg. With the strange noises on my camcorder audio as well as the dictaphone, there seems to have been activity caught but not identified.)
During the break I am alone on the kitchen. I decide to speak quietly but out loud to any spirit. "If you can hear my voice please look at how many fingers I am holding up." I hold up three fingers on my right hand. "I will ask my team to ask you how many fingers I held up". I thought it was worth a shot since the answer could be between one and ten.
SESSION 2: Large Machine Room.
We do protection again just in case as well as helping to build energies in the room.
The gauss meter starts to click now and again throughout the session. We try table tipping. The five of us lightly place our finger tips on the table. I feel my legs getting cold which is a good sign of spirit approaching according to some. Kevin feels someone touch his head and Matt says that he felt someone prod his back. We sit patiently waiting for the table to work until our patience is wearing thin. So Si whistles half a tune hoping for a whistle back. The gauss clicks hurriedly then stops. Silence. It can be frustrating at times but we don't really understand how hard is it for spirit to do things.
We ask if the glass should be used instead. "give us a sign if you want us to go back to the glass, a click or something"
The meter goes "click...click.... Click, click,click,click"
We put the glass on the table and the glass moves straight away.
Sue leads communication. "Is this Luke?". 'NO'
"Is this Norman?". 'NO'
"Is this Grandad Bill?". 'NO'
"Is this David?". 'YES'
"Hello David, is it nice to have us back?". 'YES'
"Can you move the glass around the edges of the table?". He does.
"Was it you who touched Kevin's head?". 'YES'
"And Matt's back?" 'YES'
"Did you touch them because they are new?". 'YES'
"Have you missed us?". 'YES'
"How many spirits are with us now?". The answer comes at 7.
I take my finger off the glass for the next experiment.
"Chris says he held up an amount of fingers in the kitchen, if you saw him, how many was he holding up?...1?...2?...3?" the glass moved to yes and they all looked at me.
"Correct" I said.
I start to confirm details.
"Am I right in remembering that your name is David Smith?". 'YES' (a very strong movement by the glass).
"Do you have a dog here with you?" (a dog has been heard, and felt since we started to frequent this building.) 'YES'
Matt feels a cold spot on his legs. "Was that your dog?" he asks. 'YES'
"Can you get your dog to come and walk passed our legs again?". 'YES'
My calves feel colder. I actually start to shiver because the temperature has dropped around my legs.
"Please take the glass to the nearest side of the table to where your dog is"
The glass moves to my edge.
Matt asks "Will you get your dog to sit next to my legs?"
Matt feels it touch his legs. "It's as if it's sat next to me with it's head on my lap!"
"I pictured your dog as a jet black dog, is that right?". 'NO'
Si says "I always pictured it as a black and White collie, I don't know why". 'YES'
Matt says "Does your dog have a White face?". 'YES'
Sue says "Can your dog lick Matts hand?"
First Matt feels something on his leg and then his hand. Matt insists that the dog has its head on his lap again.
We go through the alphabet to find the name of the dog. Once we find out that it begins with R we thrown out names as a guess. Sue is correct when she says Rosie.
Even Sue is a little surprised at being right first guess. The name popped into her head. This is common practice when doing this work. We seem to have names or questions pop into our heads and we just say them. Sometimes it's nothing and the spirit tells you that you're wrong. Other times you are correct but don't know where you plucked the information from. It is suggested that the spirit is putting it your head. In the cold light of day this does seem far fetched but during an investigation it does seem to prove real. The other option of course is that everyone is psychic to a degree and focusing on communication that intently that we tap into the energy. All I can say is it happens a lot and people 'guess' right to such a degree that wild guesses seem unlikely. None of our team (as I speak) claim to be psychic though.
Behind us the torch that we have set down turns on and shines on us.
After thirty seconds or so it goes off so Matt asks if it can be turned on again. The torch flashes for us. I ask if the torch will flash twice to show us it was spirit and although it only flashes dimly, it does it.
"Does Luke prefer to talk to is downstairs?". 'YES'
Si asks about the activity downstairs earlier.
"David, when we asked Luke about there being spirits at some of our houses it all went still, did Luke actually go to our homes and look?". There was no reply but on the table the gauss meter clicks repeatedly.
Si feels like his chair was pushed.
Si continues , "is it easier for you to visit places you knew in life?". 'YES'
"please light up a piece of equipment again" the torch shines brightly again as the glass gets faster and spins in large circles on the table.
Si asks, "did you emigrate to Australia?". 'YES'
"Is Rosie from Australia?". 'YES'
I ask "were you married?". 'YES'
"Did you have children? If so please move the glass from the middle of the table and touch my hand for how many " I put my hand on the edge of the table. The glass moves to my hand and then away and then touches and then away and stops.
"Two, is that right?". 'YES'
"Two Boys?". 'YES'
"Once you were in Australia, did you stay there?". 'YES'
"Did you die in Australia?". 'YES'
"David, is it ok for us to ask you questions about your passing?". 'YES'
We continue asking questions about what year he died and reach 1973 for when he died.
Matt believes that he saw a dog at the top of the stairs. So he asks out
"Has Rosie just been there?". 'YES'
I continue "Do your boys still live in this area?". 'YES'
The glass starts to roll around the rim. It is quite a strange sight and so we ask that this movement is to be a signature of sorts for us to know it's David when he comes through.
"We are told that spirits prefer for it to be dark when using the glass, is that true?". 'NO'
"so you can do it with the lights on?" 'YES'
"can we turn the lights on then?". 'YES'
I go and turn the lights on.
"David, are you still there?". 'YES'
"Please do your rim movement again". The glass rolls on it's rim again.
"Can all spirits move the glass in light?". 'YES'
"Do all spirits like to do communication in the dark?". 'YES'
We ask David if he wants to try using the ghost box. He says yes but as much as we try the results are unsatisfactory.
Time for another break.
SESSION 3: plate room.
We sit in the smallest room so far around a table with the glass active at first, hoping to do some table tipping.
"is there anyone here with us?".the glass moves to NO. "Very funny...who is it?"
The glass rolls around on its rim.
"David thats your little joke then is it?, can we do some table tipping with you please?". 'NO'
"Can you stand back then and let someone else in?". YES'
Si and Matt describe hearing a noise like the sound of a tv being left on but not being able to make out the words. Three of us all hear it and yet two of us don't hear a thing.
But then we all hear a whistle by a male. I have to say it sent a shiver down my spine because I didn't expect it and I was happy everyone else heard it.
As much as we try to get the table to work we are left with no option but to put the glass back on top. As expected the glass moves straight away again.
What happens at this point becomes a little unsettling. We have a spirit communicating answering questions in an unconvincing manner. It seems like someone we don't recognise and even goes so far as to admit it is not who it says it is. We all decide that it would be safer to stop communication. We all regain control as a team and treat the spirit assertively by telling it that we are closing the circle and are leaving.
There are noises heard and a little bit of an uneasy atmosphere as we pack up.
We leave and lock up in complete darkness and even as I take a look back at the location and expect to see a face at the window, all I see is darkness.
Which is even more strange when we return and find the lights on two days later. On four occasions in the following three weeks I see some lights are on when someone opens up. Are they all human error? I don't know at this point.
This location still has questions to answer.
Chris Whitehouse.
