PPS in bradford

8/07/14
Bradford new office site. 

This case came about after a client we shall rename Neil had bought a row of town houses with the intention of turning them into a set of offices. Three houses which he would live above as they were renovated to be offices in fact. One evening as he went about his way on the upper floor of number 2 of 1, 2 and 3 lets say, his gaze was drawn down a half lit corridor landing. The description I was told was a man in a black cape and black hat walking full bodied towards him before it turned left into the doorway halfway along. Neil knew instantly that this was not living but also that the apparition had failed to notice him himself. Neil left, it was that simple. 
The story came out to a second man who was continuing some renovations, running an electric cable through a wall. He described a feeling a being watched closely as he worked. 
Further spreading of the story led to a tale from a third man who had heard of a spirit fitting that description having been responsible for entering a room three doors up some time ago and throwing the paperwork of a poor worker who had come in at 4am to prepare for the day early, skyward and on to the floor. That had got rid of that company for good. Neil had some experience as a younger man of witnessing spirit though and so while shocked, gave the opportunity to us to visit and communicate further. 
I visited alone first to discuss the claims with Neil and during the tour of the warren like room layout, I saw one of the cellars and ventured down into the dark with a torch. I had a faint touch on my head and was excited about getting the chance to investigate. Less than a week later I returned with PPS. Sue S, Si, Gill, Kevin and I were joined by Neil and three other people who were to work out of this set of properties. 

(Names changed as usual)
Darren (who brought the case to me and who has done this at least a couple of times with us before) plus skeptics Dave and Derek joined us for the few hours in the room which the apparition had entered just off the corridor. 
Four cctv cameras took in the surrounding areas and the room we were in plus my camcorder filmed the ouija board. Gauss meters, K2's, motion detectors and dictaphones were set we started protection like always. 
The evening was still bright at this point and the room was filled with natural light through a curtain less window.  
There was a long start before activity started as we coerced any spirits to show themselves to us. 
The first tweaks of the glass grew into the glass roaming in a figure 8 formation before energising in circles before we'd asked any questions. 

(The following is not complete dictation of everything said)

Si "Are you a gentleman sir?" YES
"Can I call you sir?" YES
Si feels a breeze on his legs as he calibrates the board by making the spirit identify letters on the ouija board. There is then a breeze on Si from behind him where there's just a wall. Si has us all give our names out loud and Si feels a third breeze. We ask for a name and get A-N in response. 
Si "Sir was this your building?" NO
Dave "Were you here before this building?" YES
Darren "A long time before this building?" YES
Si "have you shown yourself to someone at this table?" YES
Darren "Go to the person who has seen you please" The glass goes to in front of Neil. 
Si "Isn't it against the rules to show yourself?" YES
"Do the rules not apply to you?" NO
J-U is spelt next. It is suggested at the time that JU is german for Jew and the glass circles YES. (I can't find anything to suggest this is true although the spirit certainly agreed).
Si "Do you break the rules because of what you've just said?" YES
"Was religion important to you sir?" The glass spins and spins and then to YES.
Si confirms once more that this spirit was here before these buildings were. YES in fact it goes to YES 8 times. (an 8 being the first move it made on the board).  Neil asks for a spelt first name but has to settle for the answer A.N. again. 
Chris "So you believe you've been seen here?, Is there a word to describe how you showed yourself?" (Christopher Columbo on the case) There is no answer, just circling. 
Darren"Could you point to where you were seen?" The glass points to the one of two doorways- the correct one. 
"Did you approach Neil for any reason?" YES
Gill "Did you intend to be seen?" YES
"And do you intend to be seen again?" YES. 
Neil "OHH"
Gill "To the same person?" YES
Derek "Do you mean us harm?" NO. A relief is felt in the room from the clients. 
Darren "Is it just a case of you being a bit lonely?" YES
"Are you here alone?" NO
"How many of you are there?" 8. (and there's that number again).
"How many males? 6       "...ok, 2 females" 
"Are there any children here?" YES
Si "Are they all from your time?" YES
"Are they all from your family?" YES

The spirit says that all the family died from the plague. 

Si "It must've been a terrible time sir" YES
Dave "Are you the father?" YES
Gill thinks the spirits name may be Arthur. Gill writes it down only seen by me in case she is proven correct. 
Si "Have you given your name to Gill?" YES
Darren "Do you feel a certain affinity to Neil?" YES
Si "Have you affected other people in these buildings sir?" YES 
"Can I ask what you did to them?" J-U-M-P. "You made them jump?" YES
Sue "Was it funny?" YES.
Dave "Was there a reason?" YES
Darren "Could you possibly spell out that reason?" B-A-D. 
"They were bad?" NO 
"You were bad?"YES
Darren "Were you just joking ?" YES
Neil "So you have a sense of humour?" YES
Si "You used the letters J-U earlier..."
Neil "Can you spell that further?" J-U-D 
"Did you have a link with a place called Frankreichh used to be called Germany?" YES
(I discovered that Frankreich is german for France)
"Did your family come here from Frankreich?" YES
"How old were you when you came over?" 8 (yet again)
"When you married did you marry a girl from England?" YES 
Si thinks the people who were scared away in a nearby office tried to get rid of the spirit and A N agrees with him.
Neil "Can I live comfortably and safely in this flat?" YES
Gill sees waist high lights on the stairs outside this room on the CCTV monitor. 
Chris "Can we ask if there are spirits on the stairway?" YES there are. 
"Are they children?" NO
****************************************************
Si "If these gentlemen around this table make some alterations, will it bother you?" NO
Dave :"Can we live with you together?" YES
"Are you getting friendly towards us?" YES 
Si "Are you still likely to make people jump?" The glass wanders closely to NO but then fires over YES.
Darren "It's nice to see you've still got your sense of humour!"
The spirit goes on to indicate that it used to live nearby although he doesn't describe where he lays as a graveyard. Neil "Was it a plague pit?" YES
The spirit won't identify which year he died but let's us know that all his family members died over the course of years rather than close together in time. Although they are all together now as a family. 
Chris "Can these other spirits do some activity for us?" 7    "Yes the other 7"

From here a floating feather shape is seen by Gill over the board on CCTV and a new spirit seems to be working the glass. 
S-I-M-O-N. 
Sue "Can you move the glass to identify Si?" The glass shoots to Si. 
This spirit is one of the sons, age 7. 5 brothers and 2 sisters. No mother present it seems. 
Si "When you spelt Simon, were you referring to me?" YES
"Why?" The glass just plays about. 
Darren "Is Si fun?"YES
Gill asks Neil if he's feeling any  better about the situation at this stage. 
Neil "In all honesty, I don't want them to come again" But soon follows up with how he understands it's about learning to live invisibly alongside one another. 
Si tries to set up conditions for the spirits to exist along side the living and does this through the father spirit again. 
A N doesn't want to frighten anyone. Si asks the spirit if he would like his own spirit children to have been scared when they were alive. A N understands the point and expresses again that it's lonely. 
Kevin "Would you like to play games with these people?" G-O-O-D. 
The spirit seeks interaction that's all. Neil isn't keen. 
I suggest that our PPS team will return to chat then. 
Si asks for the A N to say how many of us around the room are in PPS. A N correctly says 5. He even takes the glass to the people who are not in the team. 
Finally Neil and A N reach a compromise. Si creates a sign for the spirits to make if they wish to have us come and talk to them. This sign will be moving Neil's fountain pens which he is 'particular about', so he'll notice.  
Dave "Can we help you?" The spirit seems to just want to have fun with us in a pleasant way. 
Neil would be happy for the spirits to be a positive, protective force over the buildings but any interactions must be positive, gentle things. 
************************************** 
Si "Did you live within a mile from here?" YES 
"Where?" M-A-N-N-I (someone says Manningham and A N agrees).
Neil "Did you work in textiles?" YES
Si "In WOOD?" YES
"Joiner?" NO
"Carpenter?" NO
"Trade in wood?" YES. Wood merchant. 
*************************************************
Neil "Have we reached an agreement?" YES
Neil has a hunch that the building was built over A N's walk to work. Gill had pulled me to one side and also felt this an hour before. 
Neil "what was this area when you lived nearby?" F-I-E-L-D-S
Si "Why did you visit these buildings?" The glass slides to 7. (we assume this refers to his 7 spirit family). 
"Can you spell a word as to why you visited?" R-E-S-T.
"But why here in particular, rather than, say....the one across the street?" K-I-N. 
Dave "Family then?" YES
"Did your children have children here?" YES
Maybe the descendants lived here later?
Neil "Is your first name Adolfus (Adolphus?)
This unusual name just landed in Neil's head.
Neil "Can you spell it out?" NO
"OK i'll stick with A N"
"Can you spell a word which helps us understand something about you?" M-O-N-E-Y. 
"Does that mean something to you about your work?" YES
"What are your family doing now?" S E  S E S E 
"Social Enterprise? Ha" YES
"I was only joking A N!"
A N starts to spell out 'social enterprise'. 
"You cheeky sod A N ha ha, you've still got your humour, do you regard us as cheeky?" YES
"You see us as friends?" YES

A N seems to have an affinity with Neil now but won't appear to him from now on. During the glasses movements it is stopped dead on YES no matter how fast it travels to get there. The glass goes through a minute of very fast movement. 
*****************************************************
Romania pops into Dave's head and the surname NAMAZLY or NAMZLY is given. Dave steps off the board and I get a chance to feel for myself, the energy within the glass.
****************************************************
A break is called for. The energy of the glass movements make us eager to table tip. Sadly no movement of merit is made and we return to the ouija board. 

"Was the table tipping boring?" YES- glass moves straight away. 
Neil "Were you a practical man?" YES
Darren "Did you move Neil's pens in his office during the break?"   YES
"We've put the pens back please feel free to move them again" 

There is also the matter of some missing keys, I assume they turned up. 

Si asks for the glass to twist which it does, firstly anti clockwise then clockwise. 
"Could you please try and tip the glass over?" The glass spins by rotating fast. 
THE FASTEST GLASS SPIN SO FAR I THINK.

Finally there's the sound of one solitary gauss click. 
Darren "Have you just triggered one of our devices?" YES

I ask for letters to be written with the glass as if it's a pen. First I get an 'I' then an upside down 'V'. 
I write a number on a pad and Neil asks for the glass to tap this many times on the glass. (After our previous investigation where we got two out of two correct, hopes are high).
Upon review, this is exactly what occurs.....
I write 5 and show it to my personal camera which is not connected to a monitor. 
Firstly the glass moves to our torch 4 times and tries for a fifth but fails to connect because our torch rolls slightly out of the way. Secondly it goes fully to 5 knocks but the torch rolls towards the glass this time making a 6th noise for us to count. It's only on review that anyone notices this. But the next step was us asking instead for the glass to select the number written on the ouija board. The number indicated by the glass is 6. 
Neil then holds some hidden fingers up for the spirit to read but it seems that the energies are low now. 
****************************
Neil "Can we put something discreet in this building for you?, something which acknowledges our respect for you?"
S-T-A-R
"Jewish star?" NO
"Heavenly star?" NO
The star is to be not gold, nor silver but just white. 
The spirits are excited at the prospect of our clients speaking out to them from time to time. 
All communication is to be aimed at A N rather than the rest of his family. 



A mutual respect was formed between living and dead and an agreement seems reached with both sides happy. 
PPS hope to return in the future and we await pens being moved if the spirits need us first. 

Another eye opening investigation closes.
