A hectic couple of weeks for the Eerie Investigations team started with the
investigation of a commercial property who's residents had asked us to visit
and investigate.
For commercial reasons they asked us not to name the property nor its
location, and as always we respect people's wishes and will maintain their
privacy. However they are happy for us to reveal that the building is over
250 years old and has had a number of previous uses through its existence.
The occupants had been experiencing a number of phenomena spanning months,
this included audible phenomena - in particular the sound of footsteps
overhead and those of a child making play-type sounds - and stock objects
being moved. What was particularly interesting with this property was that
the adjoining building, the two buildings once having been a single property,
was also reported by its owners to show similar occurences.
The Eerie Investigations team arrived and set up our monitoring equipment,
including some of our latest sensor kit. Some of our cameras did pick up
"orbs" and other strange light anomolies, however nothing which we
felt to be highly significant in terms of evidential proof.
However, the most interesting aspect of this investigation was the extreme
drops in temperature which were experienced by all of those present, with
thermometers, thermal probes, and beam thermometers all showing temperature
drops and peaks which changed by as much as 8 degrees Centigrade in as many
seconds. These temperature drops were also verified by the data loggers.
Two of our medium team were present, and one - Anne - in particular gained
some good evidential proof of spirit contact, and picked up numerous obscure
facts about the building's previous history and residents. Some of these
have been verified through historical research, some are pending our gaining
access to the town archive vaults which contain records from the 17th/18th
centuries.
Despite not having been informed of the audible phenomena which the residents
were experiencing, Anne picked up on the presence of a female child spirit who
had attached herself, in a beneficial way, to one of the occupants. She also
picked up on facts which were linked to (and known by) this occupant but which
were unknown to even the occupants' friends and family. These are of a highly
personal nature and so we agreed not to document them online.
Overall this was an interesting venue to investigate, and a repeat visit
is due in late December. We intend at the same time to run a parallel
investigation in the adjoining property.
