To protect the identity of the location owners, their names have been changed and the exact location of this investigation will not be published on any of our websites. Photographs will not be published. With the exception of the first vigil, the location owners took a full and active part in the investigation.

 

Paul, Billy and Alex arrived at the location at approximately 3pm.
They were very warmly greeted by the location owner. After having a cup of tea, Paul, Billy and Alex went on a tour of the location. This tour was not filmed. Several names were picked up by Paul and Alex. Alex sensed the far top bedroom was where the biggest problem was. Confirmed by the location owner.

 

Paul, Alex and Billy go to the shop next door on the pretext of having a cup of coffee. Paul senses the coffee room is used for meetings of some very secret society. Alex sees a "cave like room" and a large stream under the coffee shop. Several names are sensed by Paul. Again, this "vigil" was not filmed so we have no record of what Paul, Billy and Alex sensed.

Back in the house, Once all team members arrived, trigger objects were set up at various points in the house. Mini cctv was set up in the conservatory.
Mike and Marjorie leave the house just before the first vigil starts.

 

First vigil Lounge.

 

Alex asks any spirit to make their presence known in any way they can. Christine feels sick. Both her and Lorraine feel drained of energy. Before the investigation started, Mike, had said he does feel drained most the time he is at home. Paul who is sitting beside Davy on a two seater couch near a room window says he feels as if he is falling backwards. When Alex first entered this room, he sat on the same couch. He had to move away as he felt very light headed when sitting on the couch.

Lorraine feels a tightness in her chest. Christine senses a Unicorn but does not know what it means. Christine is getting a mental image of the back hallway. She says it should be totally different and there should be stairs there. Christine also hears someone whistling. No one in the room is whistling. She sees a man in his late twenties. This is the guy who is whistling. Davy has a burning feeling just above his eyebrows. He sees a staircase. Christine says it is a huge staircase. Both her and Davy see this staircase as being in what is now the hallway.

She also sees an archway which has a "centre block" in the middle. Davy sees it as an entrance way. The both see the hallway as something like an entrance close.
Alex sees a flash of light between Paul and Davy. Billy said when Alex moved a light shot across the room. Billy takes a photo and Christine says she saw a face in the flash. It was too fast to get any features. Paul sees the spirit of a boy he describes as being about six years of age. The boy had really dark hair like a bowl cut and staring eyes. The boy just flashed in then out. Christine gets the name Jonathan. She says this is the boy Paul saw. She sees the boy as having very thick hair.

Christine gets the feeling the boy has fallen downstairs. Not the stairs which are there now. She picks up the year 1972 Lorraine senses a presence outside the room looking in. Christine senses a dark brown linen basket on the stairs. She said Mike and Marjorie would have heard the lid of the basket being open and shut with force. She senses this is Jonathan and he craves for attention. Christine feels Jonathan was neglected when he was alive. Paul says this wee laddie does crave attention and when he does not get it, he starts getting noisy.

Christine says the wee boy is not a rascal, he just wants attention and is jealous of the kids in here getting all of the attention. He just wants someone to take note he is here.
Alex asks the team if they can use their energies to try to find out how a shard of glass ended up in the kitchen sink. Paul says it was Jonathan. Christine says Jonathan was responsible for putting the glass in the sink. Jonathan thought he was doing good by tidying up. Paul says Jonathan was trying to hand the glass to Marjorie. Christine says there was a bit of glass lodged in a gap in the hall skirting board and this is where Jonathan found it. She also says Jonathan is very lonely. Paul picks up the family here are not always aware of his presence. Jonathan does things for recognition and the more he is ignored, the more noisy he becomes. Christine says Jonathan follows Marjorie around the house. Location owners later confirmed a hall mirror had smashed but this was a few years ago.

Both Christine and Alex agree Jonathan is not of this house. Christine feels he is from the "other house" next door. Alex asks Lorraine what she is picking up. Paul is aware of what he calls "the young lads guardian" being around here as well. Christine is picking up the energy of a bad tempered man with a cigarette in his mouth. The man is thin and is wearing a flat cap. Paul picks up residual energy of two spirits. They are not very happy Jonathan follows Mike and Marjorie around.

The team all agree the energy is residual and that the negative spirits are no longer present in the house. Lorraine feels she should not be in the room and should be out in the hallway. She says she feels as if this is her house and is comfortable here. She also feels the team are annoying her.
Alex feels the energy Lorraine is picking up is the energy of one of the former owners of the house whose name is Margaret. He feels that this woman has passed very recently. Lorraine feels the presence of someone standing at the room door. She says the spirit wants to say the team are talking rubbish.

Alex then asks spirit for the truth if the team are talking rubbish. Paul hears the words "get her to acknowledge me." Paul says this is what Jonathan wants, Marjorie to acknowledge him. Davy feels very sad for some reason. Paul says Jonathan is fascinated by Mike's computer. The team have a break and go to the baseroom for a cup of tea.
During the break, the team are joined by Marjorie and Mike..

 

Vigil, First Bedroom very top of stairs.

 

Alex asks spirit to make themselves known in any way they wish. Davy feels a temperature drop in front of him. He is sitting near the room window. Alex asks Marjorie if it is normally cold in that part of the room. Marjorie says it is not usually particularly cold there. Christine feels a presence behind and to her right. Her right side is very cold. Alex asks spirit to copy the noise he is going to make. Alex knocks on the wall. No response. Christine sees an adult woman near her legs. She feels as if she wants to cower away but does not know why. Lorraine once again says the presence she feels says everyone is talking nonsense. Alex once again says if this is right then give us the truth. Lorraine feels as if she wants to start laughing. Christine feels the spirit is angry.

Mike asks why the woman would be angry. Christine says it is because of the questions which are being asked. There is a general discussion for a few seconds. Paul sees a small boy being lifted off his feet and dragged along the corridor and out of the door. Christine picks up the name Catherine. Possibly Catherine Myers. Date 1874. Paul feels the floorboards move in front of him. Alex who is filming is moving around so this is maybe what Paul is feeling. Alex asks spirit to give them a bang or a whistle. No Response. Alex asks spirit to tell the team who it is or was and why it is still here. Lorraine sees movement going from Christine towards Paul. No more information on what this may have been.

Christine and Paul are picking up energy from the hall. Christine says the woman she picked up on is like a gypsy woman who was stealing from other people. Lorraine still feels as if she should be on her own. Alex says that is spirit making her feel like that to try and get her to go off on her own so it can scare her. Lorraine says there is no way spirit will ever scare her. Paul is told by some unseen presence "Do you think so." Davy picks up the name Marjorie. There is movement from behind Lorraine, who almost jumps out of her skin. A soft toy moved and touched her back. Paul hears a "funny breath" and Lorraine and Mike both agree the room has gone darker in front of them.

Christine feels a breeze and asks Paul to speak to spirit.
Paul asks spirit to copy the noise he is going to make. He knocks twice on the wall. There are knocks heard but these clearly came from outside. Christine feels a draught going from her hand down her legs. No response. Paul tries again. Paul senses a spirit around him. Alex asks spirit to shout it's name out. No response. Christine hears a noise coming from beside the door and Mike hears a knock and feels the bed move. No-one on the bed had moved. The team are talking in general and Alex is in the process of saying he has to buy a new camera after every investigation because someone always takes a picture facing the lens and ruins the nightshot when an orb is seen going downwards just in front of Christine. The team are not getting anything further in this room so they call a halt to the vigil.

 

Vigil far bedroom very top of stairs.

 

Christine feels as if someone is trying to kick the bone in her ankle. Alex asks any spirit present to make their presence known in any way they can. Davy picks up the word "attic." Alex asks spirit to identify itself. He gets the names Jonathan and Richard. Alex asks spirit to move the curtains. Christine says the curtain is moving. Alex asks spirit to move the curtain more prominently when he says the name of the spirit. The curtain moves when the names Richard and Nancy are mentioned. Davy sees an orb beside his chin. Lorraine sees a shadow go past the outside of the door. Alex asks spirit to come into the room. Lorraine hears a wheeze and picks up the name Elizabeth/Lizzie. A noise is heard from outside the room and Lorraine feels as if she is getting pushed backwards.

Alex once again asks spirit to make itself known. Christine bursts out laughing for no apparent reason. The camera battery power goes from 32 minutes to zero in the space of two minutes. Davy senses someone standing outside the room door. Some unseen presence tells Davy to move away from in front of the room window. Davy says it is a young woman but she won't give her name. Lorraine feels the floor vibrating. Davy describes the woman as having short brownish hair, medium build and about 5ft 6ins tall. She is telling Davy to move. Davy asks again for a name. No response. Alex says her name is Elspeth. Davy does not move from where he is standing.

Alex hears movement on the stairs. Davy says the woman is now saying she will make Davy move. Alex tells spirit she will end up in the witches coven if she tries to make Davy move. Alex picks up the name Buttercup. Lorraine, who is standing in the right hand corner of the room feels as if there is something standing behind her. Alex swaps places with Davy. Spirit who was there moves away. Alex tells Jonathan that what he is doing, is disturbing the family of the house and in particular the young girl whom he asks to play. Being spirit, Jonathan has no sense of time and does not realise he is disturbing the family.

Alex picks up the name Abigail. Paul picks up an old lady who he says is not happy men are in this bedroom. Christine asks if the spirits here are grounded. Alex tells her they are not. The team go for a break.

 

Hallway.

 

Alex picks up the words "hall light." No explanation for this. Mike feels a cold blast of air on the back of his neck. Alex says there should be a door midway down the hall. Christine and Davy say there should be a staircase here and are seeing the hallway as an entrance way. Alex asks spirit to make themselves known in any way they can or wish to. Alex picks up the name Edward. He asks Edward why he is here. No response.

Alex hears a noise coming from the extension and goes to investigate. Nothing is found. Alex asks Edward what is under the house. Alex "sees" water under the house. He sees it as a stream which is quite wide. He sees a large man made cave under the house and picks up the date 1752. Alex says he sees meetings going on here. Paul had earlier picked up secret meetings when we were in the coffee shop. Alex sees the cave being lit by torches made of wood with cloth wrapped around it. He says their is an active witches coven in the area.

Paul says the boy falling down the stairs is an accident which could have been avoided. He was being dragged by a woman who wanted him out of the house she lost her grip and he fell. The stairs Paul sees are not the stairs which are in the house at present. Marjorie feels a coldness in her legs. Alex feels as if he is sinking when he stands at a certain point in the hall. Mike stands where Alex was standing and he feels the same. Alex also says the members of the secret society who meet are not the ordinary members. They are the masters. Some of the team go outside to try and trace the stream.

Davy, who does not go outside, walks back towards Billy who is at the front door end of the hallway. There is a noise heard and Billy and Davy see a bit of plastic on the floor in front of them. This was not there before and we can offer no explanation as to where it came from. Video evidence shows no physical being threw it. Alex is getting a strong sense of smuggling. The owner of the house then informs the team that the house was built by a pirate.

Alex picks up the name Wilbur Smith and once again gets the year 1752. Alex sees a long narrow boat. The boat is just sitting on dry land and is facing the house. Alex now sees what he describes a thick wood. Not a forest but a thick wood. He points to where he sees the woods. He then says he sees men, women, boys and girls dancing naked in the woods. Alex says this is still going on. The house owner confirms there is a wood in the direction which Alex is pointing. Alex also says they are quite proud of what they do. Alex then picks up the name Robertson. He describes the man as quite large and has a thick beard. No further explanation as to who this man might be. The team decide to have a break.

 

Vigil, Second bedroom beside restroom.

 

Once the team are settled, Alex for some unexplained reason starts what Paul calls a '25 minute spiel" about religion and the Arbroath Declaration of Independence. For the sake of the readers sanity, we will not go in to a word for word account of this. During 'the spiel" Christine's hair was continually being played with by some unseen presence. Both Marjorie and Mike confirm this. A noise is heard which appeared to be coming from near the room door. For some reason, most of the team burst in to unconctollable laughter. After what seemed an eternity, it was decided to end the vigil as no useful information was forthcoming. Paul later came back in to this room on his own. Although he could feel spirit, nothing untoward happened except for the room going extremely cold all of a sudden.

 

Vigil Stairs.

 

Davy says when he came out of the restroom he saw a shadow go past him. Mike remarks how cold it has suddenly become. Alex shuts the bedroom doors. Both Mike and Christine say that it is making no difference. Alex feels a presence behind him. Paul asks spirit to copy the knocks he is going to do. No response. Christine sees Alex as a very old man. Paul again knocks twice and asks spirit to copy him. He picks up the name Chic.

Christine feels a presence moving down the stairs. Davy has a cold breeze pass him by going up the stairs. Once again Paul asks for spirit to make itself known. Alex still feels a presence behind him. Christine hears knocking. Paul asks spirit to respond to two knocks. Alex hears a chime. This may have been a stills camera switching off. Paul asks Jonathan to make himself known. Christine hears knocking and Alex hears a mans voice. The voice is very faint and sounds like someone talking through a telephone. Mike sees small spirit lights near the ceiling. Alex asks Chic to tell Paul his age. Right away Paul gets the age 57.

Alex asks Chic to tell Paul where he lived. He gets the answer 'where do you think?" Alex asks Chic when he passed over. Paul says Chic does not know he has passed. Alex then asks Chic for his date of birth. Paul says 1831.

Christine asks why he is here. Alex asks for a surname. Paul says Mackeson. Paul hears a voice. This was not a team member. Alex asks Chic to confirm his name is Mackeson by copying the three knocks on the wall. One knock is heard. Alex asks again. This time three knocks are heard. An orb is seen shoot between Christine and Mike. Paul tells spirit that in a few moments time we are going down to the sitting room and asks him to talk to the other spirit people who are in the house and ask them to join us in the sitting room. Paul asks spirit to confirm it understands by giving three knocks. No response. Alex tries and some team members hear knocks. Alex tries again No response.

Lorraine gets a mental image of a figure nodding it's head in response. Mike asks Chic if he is happy Mike and his wife and kids are living in the house. Alex hears a positive knock in response. Billy hears someone singing. Alex asks if Marjorie will help bring all the spirits down to the sitting room. Davy gets a positive response. Christine tells spirit we want them in the sitting room so we can help them cross over so they can be with their loved ones and also so they can be happy and safe. There is a loud noise heard at this time. Christine who seemed unaware of the response because of her level of concentration asks spirit to give a sign that spirit understands what she said. There is a knock heard.

 

Sitting Room

 

We all go down to the sitting room. Christine does a sweep of the house to make sure no spirit is in any of the other rooms. Once the team are settled, Alex asks for two minutes of silence. Alex asks spirit to give some indication that they are in the room. Christine does one more mental sweep of the house and feels spirit outside the sitting room door. Paul picks up the surname Adams. Lorraine says she feels as if she is getting drawn to a place where there is water running down the side of the wall. It is like a cave with a light hanging on the wall. Lorraine says the place is not nice. Both Lorraine and Billy 'see" people getting tortured. Billy gets the year 1602.

Edward is now in the room. Alex asks Edward to look up and see the white light. Jessica joins Edward and takes his hand. Alex asks Jessica to see the person standing in the light and to give the spirit a wave. He tells spirit that in the light is love, contentment, warmth and relations they have not seen for a long time. Alex encourages spirit to go to the light which they do. Christine sensed two other spirits go in to the light at this time.

Jonathan comes in to the room. Alex asks Jonathan to sit between Marjorie and Mike. Marjorie and Mike say "Hi" to Jonathan who is now sitting between them. Alex asks Jonathan to look for the bright light. Jonathan cries out "I Love you" He is making most of the team cry. Alex asks Jonathan if he sees the figure in the light. He tells Jonathan if he goes in to the light he will get the love and attention he craves and that his mum is waiting for him. Jonathan is a bit frightened and asks if it is safe to go towards the light.
Alex tells Jonathan it is safe to go in to the light and to go to the dark haired lady who is waiting there for him. Anna is his mothers name. Alex tells Jonathan to take his mothers hand then to turn round and shout as loud as he can "Bye Marjorie, Bye Mike." Jonathan smiles and waves as he steps in to the light. The tearful emotion which had been in the room for the past ten minutes suddenly lifts.

Paul says he has an issue with Chic. Alex asks Chic to knock on the glass door gently. Alex can't sense Chic in the room. Paul tells Alex that Chic is standing at the room door. Lorraine is still seeing the tunnel. She says it looks as if she is looking through a fancy style grid and that she can also see a Celtic Cross. She said she sees a light and something which is like a big steel door which she mentally "banged over." Alex and Christine both tell Lorraine she has shut the link off and the tunnel is now clear. Paul says Chic is telling him he was looking after the "wee man." Paul says Nancy and Margaret were in visitation. The team have a short break.

After the break, the remaining spirits are sent to the light. Paul does a sweep of the house both physically and mentally. No spirit presence is found. Just before she was sent to the light, Paul managed to get the following information from Margaret. Margaret Benson Date of Birth. 1858 Year of passing 1879. Died during child birth. Her child was male. Possibly Kevin.
Investigation ended at around 4.30am.

 

Alex went back to the location about two weeks after the investigation. Marjorie and Mike confirmed the house was quiet and peaceful. Mike took Alex on a tour of the town. During the tour, locations which were described during the investigation (not all mentioned in the report) were pointed out to Alex by Mike, including the tunnel, gates, grid and Celtic Cross Lorraine had seen.
