Alex opens the investigation and asks if any spirit present would make itself known to the team in any way it wishes. No response. Scott senior asks spirit to copy the noise he is making. No response. Alex again asks spirit to make some sort of noise. Alex asks 'Auggie' to make a couple of bangs or knocks. No response. Alex then asks 'Archie' to make himself known. Scott senior asks Archie to respond by knocking three times. No response. Scott senior gets the name Callum. A young boy no older than eight year old. He is a 'scraggly' looking boy. Scott snr asks Callum to copy the knocks he is going to make. Phil keeps hearing noises but we can't identify them.

Once again Scott snr asks Callum to copy the knocks he is going to make. Instant response is heard. Scott snr thatnks Callum. Alex asks for a date of birth and Scott asks if he was born in September. Callum replies no i was born in a hoose. Danny appears to be wearing spectacles. Verified by Scott snr and Scott jnr. The glasses is making Danny 'very distinguished' looking. Danny feels fine. Scott snr asks Callum to clap his hands. An orb is seen going past the front of Scott. Marie senses a presence beside Scott snr. Duncan sees a presence sitting at the side of Scott. A male child. Scott snr asks the presence if he has any pals with him. Positive response. This is Callm's pal. I should point out that while on the phone to Jennifer before we went to the location, Alex picked up several names and presences. Scott snr says that the pal of Callum is called Charlie. Callum was born in September. Phil gets the surname Gourlay. Alex asks spirit to verify the name. Francis hears and sees something move in the corner Scott snr is sitting in. Phil asks Callum to do something if his name was infact Callum Gourlay. Callum tells Scott snr his name was Callum Gourlay.

Alex asks if he could speak with Charlie. Several team members get a shiver which usually indicates the name is correct. Through the camera a baby appears to be laying across Scott seniors knee. Video footage can be deceiving when looking through the view finders. Video review shows the baby clearly in Scott snrs arms. It is a female baby. Phil picks up the name Stephens and Francis picks up the name Cosgrove. Phil asks if the name is Charlie Cosgrove or Stephen Cosgrove. Scott snr says the babies name is Carolanne. A flash of light is seen coming from behind Alex. Witnessed by several team members. We go back to the names. Alex gets a date of birth. june 3 1924. Alex is not seeing the place as a mill which is in production. A black orb is seen going from the coffee table right towards Scott snr. The orb just vanishes. Alex feels a very heavy presence beside Scott snr. Witnessed by several members.

Alex and Lisa hear a whisper. Alex asks spirit to indentify itself. No response. Alex is picking up a big fair not just a farm show but a big carnival as well. Duncan confirms just a fair exits. Alex is picking up this is in the 1920s. Duncan tells the team the fair has been going for over 200 yeqars. Alex says this is where the children earned extra money. Alex says the boy he sees is pocketing some of the money he is collecting. Alex also sees the kids making money by leading ponies and mucking out stables. Scott snr hears a rattle from the loft. Alex sees people travelling but with one family in charge. They would only travel now and again and sometimes take local kids with them. Alex says Gamrie has not always been called Gamrie.

Alex again asks for a date of birth for Callum. Scott gets the date 1844. Not date of birth but time when he was working in this area. Scott snr says two faces appeared on the stills camera before the investigation started were 'gaffers' at the mill.
Scott jnr senses and sees a presence coming from the bedroom which he can see through the open lounge door and Richard feels uneasy. Francis suddenly feels very cold. A flash of light is seen in the room. Francis is sensing a strong presence beside her and a foul smell is felt in the room. We go for a break. During the break Scott jnr tells Alex what he saw and sensed in the bedroom. Scott jnr was 100% correct in what he was picking up. We will not say at this time what it is/was.

Second vigil Glass divination Lounge.

Scott jnr agrees to lead the glass divination.

As this is essentially a question/answer session we will report the findings in the following manner.
Q = question asked by physical person.
A = spirit answer.

Spirit indicates it's presence by moving the glass.

Scott jnr says that although the glass is not moving much it seems to be getting pulled and pushed in two different directions.

Alex asks the dominant spirit which made itself known as a female to move the glass. The glass moves in the proper manner.

Joseph twice you have said sorry and Jennifer has accepted your apology
Alex thanks spirit for talking to the team. Alex is picking up a pregnancy. The sister of Lisa is pregnant but this is not what Alex is picking up.

The team go for a break.

Third vigil Attic

Alex asks spirit to make itself known. No response.
No response despite several attempts.
Lisa hears a noise coming from behind her and the video camera goes out of focus.

Alex asks who is making noises in the corner. No response. Scott snr sensed two men in the attic earlier. Lisa sensed a baby there earlier and picked up the name Rosemary. Orbs are seen in the corner where the baby was sensed. The baby was a few weeks old and was killed by her father through suffocation because she would not be able to continue the line of male mill owners.Scott jnr picks up the man was drunk at the time. The man also killed his wife a short time later. Again this was in the attic. A funny smell is sensed. It is like baby wipes. Picked up by Marie and Lisa. Scott jnr smells urine. Scott jnr sees a shadow which appears to be sneaking up on the team.

The team are about to close the vigil when Scott jnr says he still sees shadows creeping around the attic. Danny says a man is sitting in front of him watching the baby he killed and is regretting it. The cot was in the corner and Scott jnr sees the man sitting in a rocking chair. Danny says the man is quite drunk and is just looking at the dead baby. Lisa says the man killed his wife because she gave him a girl instead of a boy. Scott jnr picks up that the man deliberately went down a floor and took his wife up to what is now the attic with the sole intent on killing her. Richard sees a streak orb go behind Alex. Scott jnr picks up the name Abbigail Henderson. The name rings a bell to Alex. Danny picks up the father again. Quite tall, black shoulder length hair. He is wearing work clothes but more like dungarees, a square bib. He is wearing long boots. Scott jnr is seeing a man in the living room. He is laying on the floor and is soaking with sweat. Danny sees the father still sitting looking at the baby which is in a moses basket.

Danny says this chair is important. 1922/1928 is the dates Danny is picking up. The remains of the chair is still in the building but has been burnt.
Nothing more is happening so the team for a break.

Fourth Vigil Bedroom

Alex opens the vigil by thanking spirit for what is has given us so far. Scott snr senses a presence standing beside him and Richard bangs his elbow. Alex asks spirit to make itself known in any way it wishes. A whisper is heard. Sounded like 'mummy' There is a skull appearing in the dvd viewer just above Phil's head witnessed by most team members. Phil gets the words 'playing cards' There are cards set up as trigger objects at the location. There are different colours. Phil said it is the red cards. Alex feels as if he is on fire from the inside. Danny allows the spirit of Jacob to enter his energy. He (Jacob) tells everyone to leave. Francis asks Jacob about the Mill. She asks if Jacob was the mill owner. Answer Yes. Francis asks when Jacob took over the mill. Early 1900s was the reply. Jacob is then asked if he was here with his family. Answer 'Yes'. Francis tells Jacob that he did a good job with the mill.

Jacob tells Francis that he had a little girl and then Francis asks what the name of his wife was. Abbigail is the reply. Lisa asks if he got a girl instead of a boy. Jacob replies he did not want a girl. Lisa asks if Jacob killed the baby. He denied he did. Jacob is asked by Francis how old he is. 40 is the reply. Francis then asks Jacob where the chair is. He says it is in the top floor of the building. In the middle of the building.

Jacob says he is sitting on the chair now. He made oats in the mill and did not have any kids working for him. He said people destroyed his waterwheeel so he started making peoples lives hell. He walks this building from left to right and back and forward. His presence will be here all the time he tells the team. He died in 1929. September 10th. Committed suicide. He says he killed his wife and kid then killed himself. He hung himself in the mill. Francis asks if he is looking after his kid. Answer yes. She then asks if he likes scaring people who live here now. Yes is the reply. He does not like what they have done to the mill because it is his. Francis says that the people here have given the place new life. He understands but it is his mill.

Francis then asks where his wife and child are now. On the middle floor is the reply. Francis asks if he would not like to be with them and his family again in a better place. Yes is the answer. Jacob is now asked by Francis if he is grounded here. I'm stuck is the reply/ Francis tells Jacob we can help him move to a better place. Jacob tells Francis that she doesn't know if it's a better place. Francis tells him it is because she knows many people there. Jacob calls his wife and baby to come into the room. Francis tells spirit to turn around and look for the brightest light. She also thanks spirit for the information he has given us. Francis asks Jacob if he can see the light. His wife and child go right away. Jacob struggles but Francis finallly sends him away into the light. There are too many physical people talking. This made Frans job a lot harder than it should have been.

With the help of the team, Alex sends all remaining spirit to the light. Before he does this he thanks spirit for what they have given us and closes the investigation.

After the investigation, Jennifer phoned Alex to say the location owner felt the female presence again which she first felt before the team came. Alex tells Jennifer what to do and as we have not heard from her since, we assume everything is now alright. It must be remembered that spirit(especially family) will come back from time to time to check that everything is alright.
