Hello again spook people. I have not posted for quite some time I know. We have not really been going out to hunt for Slimer and co with the PP management getting all married up and we did a hunt I forgot to blog about a bit back so I am not going to attempt to remember the details of it now. It would come out all wrong and I like to report finding as accurately as I can.
So we came back with a bang on Halloween night at Knottingley town hall. The hall is one of the most active places we have found in this local area. There was plenty of fancy dress going on too.
The night started out with entertainment in the form of a Friday the 13th screening followed by food and a raffle. The proceeds went to the Make a Wish childrens charity. I have never watched the film before and found it more funny than scary. It did keep me entertained though and the food after was wonderful. The atmosphere was very friendly, relaxed and chatty, but when the hot pot and cake was gone and most of the fancy dress had been shed it was time to get down to the real stuff.
There were a lot of people there so we all gathered on the ground floor to kick off with a sit in the dark calling out. We all spread out over the hall way and some in the side rooms. I was in the dance hall. While we were just calling out and listening a few people had various feelings and could hear little sounds. The lights on the K2 were flashing a lot so I was told but I couldn't see it myself. I felt an odd sensation in one spot on my back that I can't quite explain and then I went from being a comfortable temperature to quite quickly really very cold. Susan the medium was picking up on a man and a dog but I can't recall the exact words about them.
We split in to three teams, one on each floor. I was in team one on the top floor. We did a human pendulum which did bring a few answers from a female spirit who worked in the building. It worked with two members of the public but not with another. We then tried a seance and I moved away from the table as I feel things better when away from other people. I felt as though someone was stood near the doors and then that they moved closer to me but did not want to go over to the table. Then they left. As I may have said before, I do get these feeling from time to time but I am still unsure as to what they are. Could be real, could be in my head. I do believe there is something but I take quite a bit of convincing. We also then tried some table tipping which did give a small result but nothing dramatic. However the people around the table, all public, seemed to feel it was very real and it left them scratching their heads for an answer. We ended the session out in the hall near the toilets where nothing much happened but there was a girl who kept feeling like something was messing with her hair.
Everyone came back together to have a cuppa and swap stories before heading out as two groups. The energy seemed to be better in larger teams. We headed down to the cellar where I spent the rest of the night. We tried calling out but again had little response and then some table tipping with a stronger result but still nothing OTT. We had public trying their hand at scrying with wax and crystal balls as well as using pendulums and a Ouija board. We had another go with table tipping but got nothing.
After all the public had some more tea and cake they cleared out saying they had had a great night and some had seen or felt things that they couldn't explain. For me the night was very flat and had little energy but that is the nature of ghost hunting. You don't know what you will find and the spooks do not come to order. We had some very strange things happen in that building before, but this time I didn't really find anything.
Later on, when it was just a few crew left, Mark saw something in the doorway. It made him jump. It was a very tall figure in a long black cloak or coat but it was a momentary, fleeting glimpse. We gathered in the cellar for one last go at calling out. Lindsay got very creeped out but nothing really came of it. We had the Franks box on with what sounded like the odd reply but nothing really made too much sense.
The night was fun as always but the spooks didn't come out to play. It is a bit disappointing but as I said, you can't make it happen. If you do make it happen then you are a theater company, not a ghost hunting company. Forced results are pointless results. I do still have some audio and video footage to look through but I am not expecting anything special. If I do find anything I will get it posted up.
There is a crew only hunt coming up later this month. I shall be sure to give you guys a write up on the results of that one.
