Investigation Report

All members of the team arrived at the building around 10.30pm. They were met by Drew and Kris, and sat down to have a few conversations about the plans for the evening and also went through all the various unexplained happenings that had gone on recently. Once the last customer had left the building, they all went for a tour around the structure and then setup the equiptment for the investigation.

The motion camera was setup facing the bottom room of the pub (this is where some of the staff feel uneasy, and even had the feeling of not being alone). We set a "Lock off" camera by the bar area and another by the back stairs.

The first thing that the team started with was a seance on the back stairs. There was seven of the team present for this and they all gathered around the table. They then started to ask for any spirits to come forward. They continued this for about a good 30 minutes but there seemed to be no response so they headed back into the bar area and linked hands to perform another seance.

Whilst they were doing the second seance Marlene and Mary believed they saw a black shaddow near the back wall, but this could have been caused by passing cars and their headlights shining through the window.

The team continued to ask out for anything to come forward, but it seemed that if there was any spirits in the location, they were not going to come forward.

Conclusion

The motion camera picked up something and had taken 10 shots so this will give the team something to investigate, but as for paranormal activity, it seemed that there was very little to report.

***We would like to thank Drew, Kris and their staff for letting the SGPIT into the building for the evening. We would also like to accept their offer of coming back for another investigation***
