8pm - Initial Tour around (Staff only) key points:

We all heard a shuffle down the cellar as we were walking up the steps. 

Both Vanessa and Rachel report immediate battery drainages on their cameras from the cellar.

Areas: Third Floor – Bathroom – Scullery.  No reports/incidences arising from the initial tour.

Daves comments:  Starting with the chapel, I found this room quiet and a sense of peace. Quite a contrast to how I would feel later on in the evening.

The Kitchen I felt the presence of a woman in her 40s wearing a Victorian dress. In my minds eye I could tell she couldn’t see me and she seemed to be leaning on a table doing something but I didn’t feel any emotion at all.

The Cellar was a different story, as we descended down the staircase,  the sense of uneasiness drew upon myself and I know Simone felt the same way. What I got down here was exactly what I had got 18 months before when I last visited the mansion. The only way I can describe this entity as a negative soul that never rests and I seem to see it in the form of black smoke. I’ve seen this entity before, at the trip*. I get the impression it is built up negative energy and now has become into being. At this point this is all I felt in the cellar area.

On the first floor bathroom, I found it again quiet; I did get the sense of uneasiness by the stairs but only for a fleeting second.

The third floor I have to say was pretty flat too. My only note was that it seemed a lot warmer on this floor than any other floor. Unfortunately as this was an informal walk around I did not have my Thermometer to validate this.

Gemma: It was my very first time to this location, and this was a very fulfilling experience for me.  Woodchester Mansion looked very scary indeed, it was in such a deserted location!

My night was filled with fantastic people for this event, everyone was open-minded for anything to happen for the night to come.

Vanessa: On the walkaround in the cellar I had feelings of uneasiness.  The one thing that happened there was that my batteries kept dying in my camera. They were fresh batteries and had not been used.  My Sister had the same problem.  In the kitchen area - only went in here for walkaround and as soon as went in here smelt the smell of smoke. Gemma also smelt the smoke smell. Smelt this smoke in the corridor, outside the drawing room, in the chapel area and the corridor at the end of the tea room. Most people who have entered the chapel in the past have said they have experienced the smell of smoke. They stated it smelt like candles that had been lit then extinguished straight afterwards. The only explanation for this phenomenon would be from people smoking by the front entrance or the smell of the fire in the drawing room, both of these you will find are too far away from the places we smelt the smell to have any impact on any of these areas. The fire in the drawing room has a chimney but it is not connected to any of the other areas.

Rachel : While we were looking round the cellar chatting amongst ourselves the second, farthest, wooden door swung open.  There was not anybody present in the small room off it and I tried to move the door and it did not move by itself very freely as it was solid and heavy. I left the door shut to see if it would happen again when we revisited the cellar later on.  As all of us were leaving the cellar climbing up the stairs we all heard a shuffle sound coming from behind us in the cellar, we were all accounted for going up the stairs.

9.30pm – 19 guests joined us – interestingly a 70/30 balance of alleged sceptics with which approx 50% would associate themselves as open-minded.

9.45pm - A Health & Safety tour with brief history was conducted by Craig and Dave who were the building’s key holders.   Upon completion we returned to base to issue out pieces of equipment and arrange the first vigil.

10.30pm  Vigil #1

Mass group séance in The chapel area.

History:  Alleged Poltergeist Activity

Psychic Report by Simone:  For first few minutes the area was extremely still.  We asked for spirit communication on several occasions before I became aware of a male energy entering the room, he did not seem particularly interested in any one person in the circle and seemed to only want to observe.  Dave stated soon after he had also become aware of a small female child in the room.

Shortly after Dave advised of an older male energy who had a strong presence and gave an in-depth description to his physical appearance which included comments about a mangled looking face.  I was still aware of the original male energy who now had moved to the opposite side of the room and I was giving my full attention to trying to get information as to who he was.  I was then startled at the stronger energy coming up to me from the right side and I felt and saw a very dark shadow push up towards my face.  I stepped back slightly in surprise and it quickly moved away.  During this time the name John was given to me intuitively.

We rotated the circle so other participants that had observed feelings of a breeze rushing past them and light anomalies could change position to rule out any obvious sources and for others to feel similar experiences. 

I then became aware of the child myself for the first time who I felt strongly in front of me in the circle.  I felt as though she was looking up at me and again could physically see a shadow in front of me.  I intuitively was given the letter J followed by either the name Jean or Jeanette (this information I did not disclose to the group so nobody could be influenced).  The child then moved around the circle and several guests commented on a sudden feeling of cold around their legs.

We again rotated the circle but no further reports were made aside of odd flashes of lights.

Throughout the séance, several guests reported seeing a purple light anomaly in centre – no known source.  Flashes of red lights – source found.  Other light anomalies including small white lights were discovered to be flashes of people’s torches/spectacles.

Psychic Report by David:  When we first arrived at the Chapel area, I must say I didn’t initially pick anything up. It wasn’t till the group had settled that I could make out a little girl in the center of the circle. She was not aware of us at first.

After about 10 minutes I asked the group to shuffle around in an anti clockwise fashion as to let everyone feel the room in its entirety. It was when I shifted 6ft to my right I was picking up another energy. This energy was not frightening so to speak but slightly imposing. This spirit I was certain knew we was all in the same room as him, I know this as I could see him in my minds eye walking around the circle lairing into peoples faces, including mine! He was about 5’9’’ in a robe, this gentleman was aged between 55 – 65 and had a menacing face. I got the impression he was more vexed that we was in the mansion without his permission more than anything. I didn’t feel threatened by this spirit but defiantly one to be weary of. Others recalled seeing flashes of light and some the sensation of being touched. The group lost concentration from time to time but feel we all got something from this group séance. Simone also picked up a male energy in this room, slightly taller broader and younger. Simone also picked up on the girl, but now there was some interaction between herself and the spirit.

Report by Gemma: The group seance was filled with energy of spirits in the room in my own personal opinion. I was not joined in the seance, but I was stood in the archway next to the room of the chapel with Peter the Journalist, Vanessa and Rachel

Whilst the seance was in progress I had a flash of white light to the corner of my eye, right next to the archway where I was stood, not so long after the atmosphere in the room was changing as the seance continued and I could actually see a very tall man, like a shadowed person. This was not a small person or a person stood in the seance because I could see the outlines of people standing there from the moonlight.

Simone asked for me to focus my mind more to see if I could get a name, but no names came to my mind straight away! This man was very big, stood there with his arms folded and looking around at everyone. The felt as though he was trying to say to us all, 'what the hell are you doin in my place?' really was watching us all, the feeling of no a very nice person to be around.

Not so long after, the name Tom/Thomas came to my mind, and I really don’t know how it came to me, I cant explain anything to it apart from how deep in mind I was stood in the distance of the seance, but it was so amazing to feel that close to a spirit and sense such things.

Report by Vanessa: While everybody was present in this area there were a number of incidences in the Chapel area. Gemma, Rachel, Peter and I did not participate in the seance due to the small size of the chapel. While the other people were conducting the seance we heard a bang so went to investigate. It was the drawing room door shutting as the caretakers were situated in this room. We went back to the seance, there were various light anomalies that were noticed by many people while holding the seance. Could this be accounted to by the light from the window or people getting accustomed to the light. Many people saw shadows in the room, I also saw shadows and sensed it to be a gentleman in the room. The room also seemed to be a lot bigger than it actually was and people were looking different in the room. Could I be picking up a past event replaying itself. The seance finished and we all went back to the drawing room to be refreshed for the next episode.

Report by Rachel: I was not participating in the seance but standing in the archway between the two chapels observing.  While Simone & David were calling out I could see a dark shadow going round the circle as if it was checking everybody out, the shadow looked like a tall, male. Peter, myself, Gemma & Vanessa all heard a male groan as the seance was going on.  Flashes of lights were seen by a few members and I saw a few flashes on the wall furthest away from me. You could feel the change in temperature at various points during the seance. Stephen & his friends said they could see a dark shadow standing in front of them.  While I was standing in the archway I could of sworn that somebody had tugged at my hood but nobody witnessed this as it was very dark where we were standing only I felt it and got pulled back slightly.

 After a 45 minute group vigil we returned to base for refreshments and group allocation.

During the break we discussed observations and feelings that we experienced during the first vigil.

Independently we gave any information we received including the name I received John. 

Gemma advised she was given the name Thomas.

 11.30pm - Group 1 vigil #2 – Locations – 1^st Floor to Top Floor

 First area investigated was the 3^rd floor.  We conducted a group séance.

At the far end of the corridor was an illuminous sign which was bright but seemingly difficult to focus on.  It appeared that a darkness moved in front of the sign with no particular pattern and so was considered there may be movement of an energy walking around down the lower end.

3 members of the group moved to investigate further and conducted experiments whereby they asked people to confirm if they could still see the highlighted sign when moving their hand in front of it and when someone stood in front of it.

The results were non-conclusive with an even mix of people categorically stating that it was an optical illusion and that the sign was just not focusable.  Others were mindful that they could indeed focus on it and only when it was manipulated by someones hand could they no longer see the light in full.

(I must add however, at the beginning of the night on my initial tour of the place before the guests arrived I could see the sign fully lit up from the far end of the corridor with no optical movement or loss of focus.  I further checked this at the end of the evening and confirmed the same.  Whilst I did not psychically encounter an energy at the time, I do not see any reason why the sign would lose focus and appear darkened at any time).

We then proceeded to set up a trigger object whereby a cross was placed on a piece of paper, marks were made indicating where the cross was positioned and photographed for verification.  Everyone was informed not to touch the cross and we would return at the end of the first vigil to check if there had been any movement.

The group then moved to the bathroom area on the first floor.  We conducted another séance whilst one guest sat in the bath and another in what looked like a shower room.  I became aware of movement in the room but could not decipher whether it was spirit or just general movement of energy.  I issued out 2 dowsing pendulums for divining to get some results but the guests seemed reluctant.  It was unfortunate that some individuals were expecting a full manifestation or something ‘Most Haunted’ to happen but after the realisation that this was a real investigation and nothing staged they had become phased and disassociated. 

I conducted another trigger object experiment this time using a coin.  The coin was placed on a piece of paper with marks made on the coin and paper indicating exactly where it was placed and photographed for verification.

After a short while and no activity we decided to break into smaller groups.

Gemma lead a group to the top floor and Vanessa to the 2^nd floor.  I remained in the bathroom as I was curious to find out more about an energy I had become aware of.  4 people remained with me and we  used a dowsing pendulum to get some definitive answers.  1 guest used the pendulum whilst the rest of us asked questions.

We discovered that we were talking to the male energy I had first encountered in the Chapel.  He had not died in the mansion but he had worked there.  We then found out that it was his daughter that we met in the chapel with the initials J.E.B she was 4 years old and had a brother.  Again using the alphabet and yes/no responses with the dowsing pendulum we found that her brother had the initials C.E.B and he was 9 years old. 

Further questioning we discovered the name of the young child was Jeanette and her brother Charlie.  We tried to get the name of the male adult who was communicating with us but that proved a difficult task and so opted to form a circle and ask for a different form of communication.

We then decided to join the group on the 2^nd level and found just Vanessa with one guest sitting there. They confirmed they had heard 2 distinct thudding noises and had verified with guests on the floor above them that they were still at the time the noises were heard.

Vanessa Report: It was a bit quiet on the third floor and not a lot happened except some movements at the end of the corridor. Dawn mentioned to me while everyone was at the other end, she saw an old lady walking towards her in the corridor. This phenomena was sensed on a different occasion at another date by Simone on the same level.

Bathroom – I didn't pick up on no-one in this room. Dawn shouted in one part of the room, by the window next to the shower room, she could not stand by this area as she felt uncomfortable there. As not a lot happened here we went off in smaller groups to different areas. I went to the second floor with 2 gentlemen and all the others went onto the 3rd floor with Gemma.

On the second floor 1 person went to the end of the corridor & myself and another person sat at the top by the window, sitting on the window sill. While we were sitting here there was a drop in temperature and a series of bangs that occurred upstairs. We went to enquire if the other group were walking around or making a noise and except for one person they were all sat down. We went back downstairs and sat where we were previously by the window. Heard 3 bangs again about 5 minutes after the previous ones.  Then not long after we heard the same 3 bangs again, we kept walking up to the 3rd floor to check they weren't making noises or walking around, they all stated they weren't making any noises and were only calling out. The 3 of us sat quietly there again and we heard the noise again, one of the men went upstairs to see if he could recreate the noise but he couldn't.  We smelt the burning smell again on this floor.

All the group came back onto the 2nd floor to see if they could hear the bangs on the higher floor.  While we sat there the man next to me claimed he had difficulty breathing, he had not felt like this while he was sitting there before. There was no explanation for the reason for this.

Gemma Report: Throughout the night, I had a group that I had taken up to the top floor of the mansion, whilst Vanessa had taken her group to the one lower. We were all calling out to the spirits and kept very quiet to listen for sounds, the group downstairs could here bangs from us upstairs but none of us were banging at all!  There were a few bangs which were unexplainable and nothing could be seen by the eye for this particular area of the top floor.

The groups then joined mine, Simone’s and Vanessa's, we all went up to the top floor, and stood round again towards the back of the mansion. Paul to my eyes, became transformed and started to look alot larger than normal. Paul in my eyes became Tom, yes it was definitely the person in the chapel. This spirit was staring at me trying to tell me something yet again, and I can be honest to say that I moved away from him sensing fear! he seemed very powerful, strong and I thought from my past experiences that the best thing to do is to move away from him. I can confirm that another girl in the group stated that she could also see partly the same thing as me.

Group 2  - vigil #2 – Locations – Ground Floor and Cellar

Dave's Report:   I decided to split my group into two, half going with Rachel and myself taking the other half. Leaving Rachel and the others to try some glass divination in the 2^nd room in the cellar I took my half into the 1^st room. This room was one of the smaller rooms and held props inside such as coffins and wooden boards. As soon as we entered the room I immediately picked up the presence of a pack of dogs, maybe 5 or 6 of them. They was in the far corner and again did not notice us. About 5 minutes later a gentleman walks in, straight through us [all in minds eye] and started throwing meat at them for food. He was a tall butch fellow with a bloody white apron, the way I described him to the others was like the character leather face from ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ That wasn’t to say he acted like that character, just looked. I got the feeling the spirit was quite a docile one and didn’t show any intent on harm but to look at did seem quite unnerving. After calling out he did seem to then engage us and once he saw us became a little unnerved himself. Something I have never seen before.

Leaving the 1^st room of the cellar we moved onto the far room on the opposite side. We didn’t seem to pick much up in here until we went to leave for the main cellar area, then I saw the black mist. I would love to know what it is/was, whatever it was/is it completely unnerved me. The rest of my group complained of cold spots and light anomalies during this time.

Rachel’s group had finished in the 2^nd room so we swapped over and tried having a go on some glass divination. This was to be un-eventful so we dragged the table out into the main area where we did after a while start to pick up some movement. The movement seemed to be directed at one of the group members and the spirit was claiming to be a family relative, Steven didn’t feel this could be the case and we began to question the spirits integrity. It could not answer questions such as ‘are you male or female’ we asked both questions with no answer but the glass would move on any other question after which led me to believe that we was communicating to the negative mass that was down there. When I explained to the rest of the group my concerns we was very careful with our questions and this continued till the end of the vigil.

Rachel Report: Cellar - 1st room (with table & glass). My group were shut in this room and we all decided to try the glass devination.  I wasnt participating in this as I was holding the torch light onto the glass.  When I asked questions the glass moved around quite freely, nobody else was brave enough to ask questions so I carried on.  The examples of questions I asked were: are you a male? (the glass moved around), did you live in the mansion? (the glass was still), you were killed in the mansion? (the glass remained still), did you kill people in the mansion? (the glass moved in a vigorous manner), did you kill a little girl? (the glass moved), do you want to harm us in this room? (the glass was still), do you want to harm one of the other members of the other group? (the glass moved).

Corridor & end room (one with coffins in)  While starting the seance all group members commented on that the room seemed to darken and none of us could see the dim light at the end of the passageway. They all said it seemed like the darkness was moving. While I was calling out we had breezes come past all of us in the circle.  The fella opposite me said that he had a cold breeze go on his cheek (a couple of times), then his face started tingling. While I was calling out the group said that they felt somebody was in the circle, then all of a sudden I had a dark shadowy face come right up at me like Simone had in the chapel. I knew then that it was the same spirit that was present in the main group seance in the small chapel. After he did this there were cold breezes all round the circle again. When I had closed the seance the room & passageway seemed to lighten up and you could see the end of the passageway, that was very strange and witnessed by all of my group.

1.15am - Group 1 vigil #3 – Locations – Ground Floor and Cellar

Simone’s Report. 1:30pm – We headed straight down to the cellar.  I requested firstly that we all divide up into small groups, 2-3 people per cell and remain quiet with the exception of asking out for spirit communication and see what the individual groups got.  After approximately 15mins the groups were becoming restless and decided to do a glass divination experiment in the center corridor of the cellars. 

The glass appeared to vibrate and move very slightly.  We alternated different people placing their fingers on the glass and seemingly it made a difference to the level of movement encountered.

We then decided to attempt a table tipping exercise.  With one guest at each side of the table, whilst it was suggested there seemed to be a slight vibration it was decided that the table was not going to move.

On a psychic level, the cellar during this time did seem to be extremely calm and I was not aware of any spiritual entities being present.

I hung a bell from string on one of the cell doors and asked for any spirit entity’s present to use the bell as a way to communicate with us.  The bell did appear to slightly move on a couple of occasions but not significant enough to noise the bell.

Again a few guests seemed anxious at not encountering paranormal activity and I gently explained to them that it is not uncommon for alleged haunted locations to be quiet or non-active.  I also suggested that if they quietened down they may be lucky and experience something that whilst talking they could miss.  The group asked if they could use a talking board in the first room of the cellar to which I obliged in hope that other guests may experience phenomena through their own activities.  Vanessa oversaw the talking board experiment whilst myself and Gemma stayed with the other experiments.

It was apparent that the talking board was not giving any notable results so we took it to the chapel area to attempt communication in a different environment but again we had no compelling results aside of slight movement onto the letter S.

It was decided to return to the cellar to attempt another group séance and ask for communication or a sign just to acknowledge spirit presence.  I became aware of an energy towards the furthest back point of the cellar corridor.  The energy did come forward and a couple of guests acknowledged the change in atmosphere and distinct temperature drop.  The energy was weak however and I could not get any direct information about who/what it was.

One guest stood next to me confirmed he had the feeling of someone standing behind him. 

As a group we asked for communication and we heard small tapping noises from the same area where I could sense the energy.  

Small white light anomalies were also observed again in the center of the circle.

Vanessa Report: I sat in the 2nd cellar with a group of people.  Nothing happened in here except for a couple of bangs. Only thing that was significant in here was I thought one of the people that were standing opposite me, when I put the torch on he wasn't opposite me but I thought that somebody was standing there, I cant explain this.

Last cell - only other experience that we had in the cellar was while we were doing the ouija board. One of the women said she was pushed and yelled out. Simone stood at the start of the tunnel and asked if anyone had walked out of the room. Everyone was still in the same place. This corresponded with the woman saying someone had pushed past her. Was this the same thing everyone had seen asking out in the tunnel?

Group 2  - vigil #3 – Locations – 1^st Floor to 3^rd Floor

Dave's Report :  1st floor/2^nd floor - long corridor with closed off rooms

Our next Vigil was up in the two corridors. We tried different methods to try and interact with something but if im honest nobody was picking anything up there, both floors seemed to be dead. The only interaction we as a group felt was that on the stairs, as we was moving from the 2^nd floor to the 1^st, we heard footsteps from above. Feeling worried we made our way back up to investigate but then in our accent, we then heard them on the 1st so turned around to follow the noise, when on the 2^nd floor we felt nothing. Just a few light anomalies on digital camera that could be dust

Rachels report : I called out while we were all standing in the corrider, nothing out of the ordinary happened but we could hear Dave's group calling out in the bathroom. We were just listening for a short time and my group heard a couple of bangs but we werent sure where they had come from. I called out asking for a noise, a light, to throw a stone and as soon as I had said this we heard a stone being thrown from down by the bathroom and Stephen saying "what the @@@@ was that", my group went down to the other group and said that we had heard the stone being thrown across the floor. Dave then showed us that he captured the noise on his camcorder.  We all were impressed by this happening, plus my group commenting on me asking for it in the other corridor and it happening down by the bathroom.

 1st floor – bathroom

Dave's Report : We was Met by the other group up in the second corridor and on that we continued down to the bathroom. This is where we got most of our evidence to report as paranormal phenomena. We must have been in the room no more that 3 minutes when something happened outside the bathroom in the corridor. I had the handy-cam on and decided to film while the group held a small séance. I must have been in the bath for no more than 30 seconds when we had some reaction from someone calling out. About 2-3 seconds after someone said the words, ‘if there is someone there can you please make a noise’ a stone was thrown. My camera was on all the time and have footage of the guys doing the séance, assuming they was holding hands it could not have been them and there was no way I could have manufactured the projection from my position in the room. We immediately left the room to check nobody was in the corridors and they were empty.

 Rachel Report: I did another seance with my group and called out myself. One of the group members got in the bath but didnt not notice no difference to him. When the fella got out the bath we replaced the trigger object into the circle and relined it up.  I sat on the bath and called out again.  Not much was happening but one of the group felt they had heard somebody in the corridor so we checked this and nobody was out there and the other group were in another area. The group were getting impatient that nothing was happening so I said do you want to move to another area and they agreed.  When I got up from sitting on the bath, one of the ladies noticed that the 2p trigger object had moved quite considerably right out of the drawn circle (Dave has got this recorded on his camcorder but thought that we had moved it until we said that we had not touched it and we had relined it up & asked him if they had noticed it when they went into the bathroom, Dave said then that he had it on his camcorder).

 3am -  Everyone returned to base for refreshments and a well needed warm by the fire!

 3.10am – Announcement of Free-time where everyone can go to their chosen areas and investigate themselves.

 Vanessa Report:  Me and Simone took a group to do a ouija board sitting in the chapel. There was no movement on the board.

Myself and Gemma both went with Dawn to do an ouija board in the large chapel room. There was no movement on the board but heard taps and bangs in the smaller chapel room.

Walked around the different areas of the mansion. Did not stay in one place too long. Walked to bathroom to check on the 2p trigger object, it had moved slightly on the mantelpiece.

 I went up to the 3rd floor and checked on the cross and Dawn said that this had moved slightly as well but as it was on a chest it could have been knocked by someone in the dark.

 Walked to kitchen area and the corridor around there but nothing relevant. Kept smelling burning while walking around in certain areas.

Finished vigil and quite a few experiences that happened could not be explained and other ones could be given an explanation. A good night was had by all and the night went really quickly. 

 Rachel Report:  I told Peter what had happened with the trigger object in the bathroom and we decided to re-check this to see if it had happened again.  We both noticed that the trigger object had moved slightly while it was on the mantlepiece.  We tried to bump the mantlepiece to see if the 2p would move but of course it didnt as the mantlepiece was solid limestone and would not move.

During the night I had 4 sets of new batteries completely drain on me all through the mansion, this was very strange as I had not experienced this before. Vanessa had the same problem as me as well.

 Dave Report: To conclude this investigation, I feel that its important to remember that this building was never lived in and anything that haunts this building is of residual energy from the previous house. This would explain why a large area of the building feels so ‘flat’ and other areas buzzing with paranormal phenomena. It was very hard to Investigate this building at a scientific level compared to other investigations at other locations because there are a number of factors to consider, firstly, there are hardly any windows in this building giving the inside temperature almost the same as the outside. Any draughts felt can be explained and that is the same for cold spots.  Secondly because of the nature of the building, it is a very dusty place, it is of course unfinished and there is dust everywhere. This makes it hard to rule out any light anomalies.

Thirdly and finally, because Im led to believe a lot of the activity in this location is of a residual nature it holds no scientific basis on a spiritual level.

World Oneiric Life Force do openly promote the use of spiritual intervention on their investigations and use this as a driving force to uncover answers in the field of paranormal research despite it being a controversial method. Unfortunately without ANY scientific foundation it is hard not to prove or disprove anything.

I enjoyed my time at woodchester mansion. There was things that could not be explained and some that could. Would I say the building is haunted? On a level I would be compelled to say yes.

 Simone Report:  Woodchester Mansion will always remain a mystery.  Firstly because any spirits we have encountered here seem to have an excellent ability at only showing themselves if they really want to and equally, may refuse to give us any confirmation of their presence.

My group were predominantly sceptics which gave a healthy balance to the events of the evening and gave an uncompromised account of occurrences.

The following day I received a telephone call from a member in my group saying that whilst he remained sceptical he could not account for some of the things that happened to him and thanked us for an enjoyable evening.  I don’t think there was one person who left the event without taking a little bit of Woodchester magic away with them.

As my main role is not psychic profiling, but rather Investigating phenomena I have to provide a scientific edge to this event.  As Dave quite rightly says, in a building which is open to the elements and is inches thick in dust that makes it very difficult to prove or disprove any natural occurrences.  It is mainly divination techniques that provides any form of confirmation to our guests that there is paranormal phenomena within the building.

I thoroughly enjoyed the night and look forward to the next event here.  I also hope to see everyone who joined us again.
