Family ghost watch reports

Read all the things that happened on our family ghost watches

Family ghost watch Guildhall 19th February.

Traceys report of group 2

The evening started with a talk about what would be happening during the evening, and a little about an EMF meter. We were taken for a walk around the building, starting with the great hall where we were told a little about the history of the room. We moved on to the library and told of the things that have been known to happen here. We then moved into the Mayors parlour where we were told a ghosty-type story (some of the adults jumped a bit more than the children).

After the story we moved into the great hall again, where the children were asked to hold hands in a circle, at which point Lee moved the EMF meter around the area, receiving very little response. The children were then asked to sing "ring around the roses". They did this, and the meter was taken around the outside of the circle, where it gave out high and low readings. Lee then moved inside the circle and walked around again, where the meter changed from high to low, but remained high around one of the children who had received a high reading behind at the beginning. The children were told to release hands, and we were then split into groups. Being in the first group to go off investigating, we headed off to the library. Standing in this room, the group were told how to feel their own auras. They were then told to move their hands between the hands of others, so the others could feel an aura passing through their own. We were then told the difference between a ghost and a spirit, and Lee showed everyone where they could feel a ghost! Everyone had a go, and were fascinated by the exerience.
We then moved down to the cells were half the group sat around a table. Questions were asked and the table started to move. Some of the group were amazed by this, and the more questions were asked, the more then energy was building. A lady said she felt cold breezes on her neck, and a child asked for the table to move to which it responded. Asking for it to move back, it did so. The group swapped around to let others have a go, and we started askin questions again to which the table responded. The table started tipping quite a bit, and one of the children wanted to ask " are you nice?" which was asked, and the table did not move. Another child wanted to know " were you hung?" to which the table moved strongly. The spirit had already been asked if it worked there, to which the table moved, and also, if it was male, another movement. Our time was up and we moved into the cafe area were we took part in some activities. A great first time family ghost watch!!

It's good to hear the family ghost watches went well Lee, Well Done.

Glad to hear that it went well to the point of lots more dates going on the board, Good report Tracey - glad the kids all seem to enjoy it.

Will have to wait for mine to get a little older before i take them on one...

Shelmors report Group 1

Our group started off in the library,as the first group did,with everyone having a go at feeling auras. Lee told us all about the resident ghost that sits in the chair, and some people tried moving their hands over the chair to see if they could touch his spirit.
Next we headed down into the cells.
The children sat around the table while the rest stood watching. It didnt take long before the table started moving. Everyone was fascinated by this. As the energy built up two of the younger children got a bit worried and stood up,choosing to watch instead.
From asking various questions we established the spirit was male, he didnt work there,nor did he live or die there. He wasnt a prisoner there either,but when asked if he was there visiting someone we got a positive response. Both rebecca and hannah said their chairs were moving too,and hannah said it felt as though the spirit was underneath her.
There were cold breezes felt under the table around everyones legs,and at one point the people at the end of the table felt very cold. I was surprised at how active the table was, the children were getting lots of response to their questions with the table lifting right up....we noticed that Lee went very quiet so maz called his name,which brought his attention back to us, at the same time the table lifted and slammed down hard on the floor. This made everyone jump, one of the ladies suddenly felt very emotional and had to leave. Maz took her to the saferoom. Unfortunately we ran out of time and had to end it there, i dont think anyone wanted to go though

Family ghost watch The Guildhall Tuesday 14th April.

We started the evening in the safe room, with Lee giving a talk about what would be happening during the evening, and what equiptment we would be using. We then went for a walk about, on leaving the Great hall my camera stopped working, only to start again in the Mayors parlour, when anothers ladies camera turned itself off, we then went for a break, while the children did activities.

THE GREAT HALL.
In here Lee opened up the children, the ones with their backs to the fire said it was cold in front of them, the other half said they it was cold behind them, two of the children felt something brush under their hands, one boy said it felt as though an animal was brushing around his legs.

THE LIBRARY.

On entering here a strong smell of leather was noticed. Lee showed us how to feel our auras which the adults enjoyed aswell, he also let the children touch the resident ghost.

THE CELLS.

In the cells a table was set up for the children to try table tipping, when all seated Lee tried calling out the table trembled then moved, one girl got upset and was taken away from the table, once she had left the table it shot back to it's start position, Lee asked if the children if they would like to ask out, the girl who left the table asked if the table could be lifted and it lifted quite high on one side tipping some of Lee's equiptment, onto the floor oppersite him only to thrown at Blair's legs, who sat next to Lee. Another girl left the table so a few of the parents joined the table. One boy asked Lee if he could go to the toilet, the table moved as a sign of yes eneryone thought this was funny. the table moved quite strog to questions being asked about the school and even moved as a sign of yes when asked if the spirit was a teacher.The table moved to answer most of the questions asked. Blair felt as though she was being pulled over then under it, Lee felt his legs being pulled, and some of the children felt something brushing past their legs on investigation nothing was there. Others felt something blowing down their necks. We decided to call it a night here Lee closed the children down and answered any questions.

The evening was enjoyed by children and parents alike.

HOPE ALL THE CHILDREN HAD A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

HOPEFULLY WE HAVE A NEW GENERATION OF GHOST HUNTERS.

Great report, i am glad the children all enjoyed themselves.

Guildhall Family ghost watch

We started off as always having a walk around the Guildhall telling the children and their families about the activity that has happened at the Guildhall over the years. On the way round we noticed that the bible book was on Job and later on as we were investigating the library it had been changed to a different page of Deuteronemy to what it was earlier when i was telling everyone about the bible.

The Great hall

In the Great hall we opened the children up and had a few of them get sensations of tightness and cold spots, one gentleman felt his legs go tight as did two of the children around the same area. I asked spirit to move across the room and they did. We tested the area with the emf meter and it went off making all the people there jump. A few people were starting to get a bit scared but i said there was nothing to be afraid of.

Library.

We went up into the library and I showed people how to detect their own auras and after they could sense their own, I went among them so they could see the difference between mine and theirs, most people could tell the difference. There were about 6 people who could not feel the aura yet when they had a go at putting their hands through the ghost of the man who sits in the chair they could actually feel the different aura in the chair where the man sits. Everybody took it in turns and i think all but 1 person could feel the sensation of either cold or hot a few people felt a kind of electric shock through their bodies. Two of the grown ups said that as they put their hands in the chair it burnt their palms.

Cells.

We got all of the children to sit around the table and start to ask questions about the spirits that were with us. it was not long before the table started to move and the battery operated candle flickered which it does but as the table moved the candle went out. We tried again and the same thing happened. This in total happend four times and all of a sudden the table jumped and knocked the candle over scaring everyone. We asked if it was a man and it started to move which indicated yes and we asked other questions but it was very non co-operative, we then got a lady and i knew that it was Mary with us she was affecting two boys at one end of the table by giving them pins and needles in their arms and legs, we asked if she could do it to another person and straight away it left the two boys and affected a young girl at the other end of the table. we asked other questions such as are you visiting anyone and did you die here and it moved to certain questions but not others. I asked Mary to step back because she started to move the table quite violently, she left. We then had a male with us and we figured out this was a guard which one of the gentlemen seem to sense. The table moved quite rapidly although i know of the guard he seemed to be quite co-operative tonight and was not so aggitated as he usually is but did make us all jump a few times. All the time we were in the cells people were feeling things around their legs. (Somebodies phone went off, normally on a full vigil we would not let them into a vigil but with it being a family watch we allow it) the spirit did not seem to like this and the table shot one way then the other and jumped. All of a sudden a ladies cane moved from where she was sitting and shot under the table and hit a boys leg making him shout out. as she pulled it back it was pulled from her hand again, Someone asked if he liked us and the table did not move then the same person asked if they hated us and the table shot off the floor and knocked the candle over switching it off which made some people scream this was enough for me to know that he was getting fed up and enough was enough we called it a night

A good time was had by all.

This was an investigation that one person that had come previously thought was very frightening to the time he had come before.

I would rate this investigation 6/10
I would rate the Venue 9/10
I would rate the venue and investigation 7/10

Sounds like you all had fun good report Lee i keep on trying to get kelly to come but she wont.

Sounds like a good night!

Really want to bring my little monster but think she might get a bit scared!

sounds a good night lee, Blair wants to go again.

family night sounds really good...
bit scarey though in the cells with the prison guard ....

a sign of things to come?????

Tuesday 25th August

Guildhall Family ghost watch.

Coming soon.

Tuesday 25th August Family ghost watch


We started off the evening with a talk and a walk around of the guildhall telling the people of the sightings we had seen and some of the phenomena that had been reported. We heard a few things as we were going around and a few odd smells had been noted.

Start vigil

Great hall.

We started in the Great hall as always and opened the children up by singing Ring a ring of roses we then got spirit to join them and there were two children that two spirits seemed to connect with and even when I asked them to change sides of the circle these two spirits seemed to ignore me and carry on staying with the two children so this made me think that we were in for a good night. We heard a few things in the great hall one being the chink sound we hear on full ghost watches and a scraping noise, which made everyone jump. We heard something as if it was footsteps on the stage.

Library.

I showed the children and adults how to feel your own auras and then we got them to put their hands through the ghost that sits in the library. A few could feel it but there were a few that couldn’t, we heard a noise as if someone had come through a door but the doors were all open so this was good.

Cells.

We sat around the table and placed our hands on the table, it was not long before we were communicating with spirit we were told that it was Michael and that he was not naughty but got accused of stealing. We knew that it was Michael who knew me and he said that it was him that used to count the money, this was interesting because nobody could have known about the Michael that we have come through in the Jury Room but what he was telling people was exactly him to a tee. We heard a few noises toward one end of the cells and a few people again had their legs played with. We got another spirit come through but they did not seem to want to communicate so we decided to call it a night. The interesting thing was that we had a children’s one and then the adults sat down and had a go too.


A good time was had by all
