Cash's Well Investigation. We met in the normal spot for this one but something seemed different. Henry was on holiday but also Lauren and Fiona had been struck down ill. Kim did not feel to great but still made it and Mark was not too sure he wanted to do the night. Nothing was really thought of it at the time. Sometimes these things just happen. However the team was weakened and we now feel for a reason. We were fortunate enough that Simon, who was not meant to be there due to personal commitments, actually made it. Just as well. So into the woods we went. First stop was the normal entrance. Mark picked up on a female who was showing him an arm injury.

Spirit Affecting a Torch

We were recently invited to hold a ghost hunt at a private house. Throughout the evening we had brilliant activity. The video below is of a spirit turning a torch on and off. There were 6 people upstairs listening to the P-SB7 Spirit Box. Most of the group heard someone walking up the stairs, Simon stood out the way of the door to let them in. When Tina opened the door nobody was there. The majority of the group felt a change in the presence. Mark, Joe and Kim asked the spirit to turn the torches off. Joe's torch (placed on the floor) started to dim. The team focused their energy towards the torch and the spirit who was present.As you can see in the video, the spirit kindly responded to our requests. Turning the torch on and off, flickering and stopping. Tina's suggestion to start clapping increased the energy enough to help the spirit to be able to do this.
