I had two people interested in my free seance evening. One was Phil and one was Dale and they joined Sue, Si and myself at the Print Works venue on an evening of zero wind as far as i could tell.The temperature inside was 17.2 C. I rang the singing bowl successfully in the end out of the way of the others. Stage fright i guess.
We gathered around in a circle with the lights still on and asked out politely with no board active. Si led an invitation to lower the temperature on his laser thermometer. Si followed this with his whistle test and his knock test. Si was the first one to suspect a breeze on his legs.
As we sat listening quietly there was a definite area where noises were happening down behind the machines. We heard one single click from the gauss but had nothing on the K2. We had taken a good portion of an hour to set up and hadn't witnessed a peep out of the gauss. No one had altered their positions and all mobiles were inactive. We all heard an obvious rustle noise in the area of movement. The rustle was brief and a natural view point would make a a mouse the obvious suspect but, I put forward, a mouse would run onwards across any paper without much care for being quiet. This noise had been brief. I knew this area to be tidy from paper on the whole and so was not able to say it was a mouse for good. There wasn't a similar noise to follow and it wasn't a noise we've had before. The gauss let out another solitary click.
We ramble on amongst ourselves as we explain things to our guests. There was a distant knock from the far wall area. This was a wall joining our neighbours but they were definitely closed at this hour on a saturday so I ruled out living neighbours as the cause.
As we spoke on still I was suddenly aware of a slow but loud breathing from that far area. I asked if anyone else could hear it. It continued and shocked me by it's loudness rather than by it happening at all. Si heard the slow breathing and dale seemed to also. I think Sue didn't though and maybe not Phil either. I described it as the time as 'nose breathing'. It was as if a man was loudly breathing while stood in the far end of the building. Upon review of both tascam digital recorder and my camcorder, I hear nothing. We keep asking out for further things but nothing comes so we turn to the ouija board.
The gauss clicks as I respectfully ask out. Si takes his turn asking out when i get nothing and says " There's a lot of movement over there"
Si "Use our energy" The gauss starts off as a slow crackle and builds up noisier till about 3 MG and then cuts out for a split second only to slowly fade to nothing.
Chris "Now could you please move the glass at all?"
Si "There was a noise in that wall area"
We further implore the spirits into action.
Si hears a whisper and marks the audio for closer review.
Sadly nothing is heard.
We ask and ask for interaction on the board but to no effect.
Then the gauss makes the same sort of noise. Rise, rise, cut out, rise, fade.
Sue then tries to encourage interaction with the spirits and even invites our old regulars to come to us.
Dale reports a breeze on his leg.
We back track to a YES/NO board instead. Not all spirits feel comfortable with the ouija board.
In my headphones as I review I hear a deep noise from afar which I would describe as either a cough/clearing of throat or grunt. This is easily recognisable as none of us because it sounds far away and different to us after so long has passed just us chatting.
Si feels a breeze on his legs. The gauss creeps a little.
Chris "I ask you to move the glass on this board to YES instead then" It does-strongly.
"Please move over NO now" It drags towards NO before going back to YES and then almost NO. YES NO YES NO.
As this movement occurs, the gauss creeps again.
With no letters or numbers we have to alter technique.
"Please use this glass as a pen and write the first letter of your first name" F is written large.
Si "Have we met you before?" NO
"Are you wary of us?" YES
"Were you making noises in that corner?" YES, plus gauss.
"Are there any other spirits in here also making some of the noises we are hearing?" YES
"Can you tap the glass against the torch to signify how many spirits there are?"
Sue has 6 spring into her head and holds up 6 fingers.
The glass answers 6 and another noise is heard.
The glass circles and the gauss spikes again.
Si "Can you see us?" YES
"How many of us are there?" 5 taps against the torch shows the spirit can see us.
Si puts up some fingers behind his back and we ask the spirit to tell the team how many he has up. We can't see.
The gauss climbs and the spirit answers 2.
Si "Yes!"
We ask the spirit to try lose our fingers from the glass. It spins.
Dale "Is your name FRED?" NO
Phil "Is your name FRANK?" NO
Si "Does your name really begin with an F?" NO
"Can we refer to you as Fred just so we can call you a name respectfully?" YES
Something happens which makes our blank corner of the ouija represent 'I don't want to do that'.
Chris "Is there any other way that you can prove you are with is?" The glass continues to energise itself by making circles on the board.
Sue "Are we still using the right board?" YES
The spirit doesn't want to use the ouija and neither does it wish to answer personal questions.
Si "How did you find us?"
"Did you know we were going to be here?" YES
The spirit suggest that we were sought out rather than the other way around.
I fail to convince the spirit to use the ouija.
Si "How old were you when you passed?" 39.
We start asking the spirit about Pre Knowledge which seems to occur when they 'know we are coming' ahead of us even coming.
Si "Not that i'm going to ask but would you know the lottery numbers!"
Chris "I'm tempted to write a number down on a piece of paper away from you and ask this spirit to tell you what it says" I do just that. I walk well away and write the number 4 and show it to a camera.
I remain far away as the glass taps the torch 4 times. Genius.
Chris "Perfect"
Dale asks if Brazil won at the football tonight and the spirit says Yes they did. Later that evening we find out that that also is correct.
Si "Have you just come for a chat then?" NO
"Have you come for a specific reason?" YES
"Have you come for a person around the table?" NO
"Just for yourself?" YES
Still, the spirit will not use the ouija.
Si "Please move the glass to where you are stood" The glass moves to point between Phil and Si.
I ask the spirit to chase my finger around the board as I pull it randomly about. The glass follows my fingers movement. I then ask the glass to be tipped up. The glass shuttles about until making a dash for the edge and I catch it. "Fair enough but that was cheating a bit!".
We take a break. There is another gauss climb during the break.
It's 10:30pm as we huddle in a small different room together.
Si talks to anyone listening. We place finger on the glass on the ouija board again and the gauss makes three lone clicks as we wait for more. There is a sound we hear which we settle on describing as a bin bag kind of rustle. I rustle Dales sleeve which although of a vaguely similar noise, was not to blame.
The glass circles now.
Si "Is this 'Fred'?" NO
"Have we met before?" The glass shifts slightly. "It didn't seem to like that question"
The glass moves in a motion which i have come to call CLOCK movement. It goes from the centre of the board to a letter and then returns to the middle before moving on to the neighbouring letter. This motion continues as the spirit checks out the board. The glass then does the same with all the numbers. Next it goes to all the corners except for GOODBYE. That was a first having it do the whole thing without distraction.
Si "Are you male?"
"Are you female?"
"Have you gone now that you've explored the board?" E
"Was that E deliberate?"
"Do you like all the letters and numbers?" YES
"If I pick a letter would you go to it?" YES
"C" The glass moves to C.
"V" It moves to V.
"3" It moves to 3. The gauss climbs as before and I predict a cut out-which it does. Earlier I had also made a note of the time between gauss hits to see if they were triggered by something coming on regularly. The spaces of time remained random.
"Are you a male?" Y (Why?)
"Just for respects sake I guess we would like to know"
Another first for us now as the noise of a door closing happens right above us. this is heard in great clarity on our recording devices but there is no physical door above us. It's just a plaster board ceiling and air above. The next movement is CLOCK movement but much slower this time.
Chris "Can I ask you your name?" G-E the glass wavers so i urge it to keep going.
G-E-R-R-Y
Chris "Gerry yeah?" YES
Si "Could be either sex or even a nickname"
Si 'Geraldine?" NO]
"Gerald?" YES
We give our names as we have learnt this often makes the spirit more open to us.
Si "I think he likes Sue"
Sue "hi are you going to talk to us tonight?" YES
Chris "It would be great if you could alter how Sue feels tonight as we know she feels comfortable here generally"
Sue "How many sprits are here with you?" 4. Plus Gerry.
"So there's 10 of us in this room together"
'Where are you all stood?" The glass point out the spaces in between all of us. Dale reports feeling cold.
Si "How many men?" 3
"So 2 women" YES
Chris "I bet you could get this glass moving incredibly together"
Sue "Is 'Fred' stood outside this room?" DON'T KNOW
Sue debunks a reflection in the glass windows as being a possible face over Si's (Good work).
"Are you here for a reason" YES
"Do I know what that reason is?" DON'T KNOW
Si "Did someone push my chair earlier?" YES. I have witnessed that feeling in this room before.
The glass goes back to CLOCK movement. Now the glass moves in between the letter on the board and only Si and I have our fingers on. The glass moves as I tap my finger on top and Si's stays on. Then mine stays on and Si taps his fingers with the glass moving steadily all the while.
This causes us to experiment with various finger pressures.
We place the glass in the centre and lay our hands at the base of the glass where rim touches board. A possible twist is reported but isn't noticeable on camera. Our fingers stay where they are except for Phil's whose goes back to top. Still no movement, but a knock on the table is heard. We then all put our fingers around the fattest section of the upturned wine glass. The glass does not move and I note that if we were subconsciously and unknowingly moving the glass, it would move now all the same especially as we are all willing it. But it doesn't.
Once again we reposition fingers to where the stem touches the fattest part. This time movement starts. Dale reports a static charge in his finger.
What do we take from this? Does our energy charge or that of spirit travel downwards towards the earth and not horizontal?The glass only moved when it had some glass beneath skin in some way.
We upturn our fingers so that skin does not make contact at all, only finger nail.
Skin grips but nail slips. Yet the glass does move freely!
Normal finger positions are resumed and the glass circles the number 4.
"What can we do for you?" A whine noise is heard.
'Can you knock the glass over before we table tip please?" spin, spin , spin and TIP!
Our YES/NO table is ready for table tipping now. The gauss activates again. The table tips towards Phil and Dale which should convince them that it has nothing to do with the teams influence. We start a chat about how to discount fakery at all, you have to be present at the time. Videos have an awful knack of looking fake when viewed.
We suggest Scrying and ask for the table to tip towards who should be alone. The table chooses Sue.
Sue "I don't think I can do it in the kitchen"
Sue fumbles with her crucifix jewellery. "You see even now i'm going straight to my cross"
Si suggests a compromise that Sue just goes and sits alone in the open warehouse part for 5 minutes.
I demand that this is not nearly long enough. Sue says "Not tonight"
In the end Sue does though and after I place her near a camera, I leave her and return to the rest of us. I see torch light flicking around briefly from Sue. I set my timer for 5 minutes with a voice in my head knowing that i'll leave her longer. naughty naughty.
Si "Gerry please go and see Sue"
Chris "She wants interaction" L-O-N-E-L-Y
Si "Are you feeling lonely?" NO
"Who feels lonely?" S-U-E
"Is this new movement Gerry?" NO
With 2 minutes left on the timer I reset it to 4.
I notice that we have put the ouija board back on a different way around. I like this as the spirit has to recheck the board to move to the right answer. It surly discounts some skeptical argument.
Si "Are you female?" YES
"Please ask Gerry to tug Sue's hair"
There is a bang on the floor heard beneath our feet.
I go and collect Sue. Sue reports that as soon as I left her she heard movement from the kitchen area in the dark- hence the flashlight. Sue also says she didn't feel lonely.
The last movement from the glass is a different kind of CLOCK movement as the glass moves from top to far bottom and back but slowly getting closer to the centre point in the manner of a slowing pendulum.
"I ask what colour hair this lady had and the glass moved to GOODBYE. (I have this effect on women)
We close.
