19.45. Tarnia feels an energy on the stairs and so she takes a picture and gets an orb.

20.20 After meet and greet, begin tour.

20.22 At the very start of the tour Lizzie saw someone on the stairs but there was no one there. Tarnia saw a light go past her whilst we were all stood in the Dining Room.

20.30 Whilst on the tour, walking towards the stables, Karen sees a talk dark figure walking past a bush near the house. All team members are accounted for.

21.40 Trigger Object Number 1 was placed in the Music Room

Trigger Object Number 2 was places in the David Beckham Room

21.45 Sharon and Emma report a strange smell in the School Room that was not present whilst on the tour. Scratching noise heard, they investigated and tried to replicate the sound but couldn’t. Floorboard creak also heard by both.

22.00 Becky is in the Music Room and feels a very cold pressure on the top of her head.

Team Trouble and Simon all feel a temperature drop.

Simon also feels a pressure on the top of his head.

22.05 Lizzie takes a photo of the stairs and in the photo it looks like there is a person stood on the stairs.

22.15 Sara and Andy report a short spell of continuous tapping and creaking in the original kitchen.

22.20 Shona feels light headed in the DB Room and Angela gets a headache that goes, when she leaves the room.

Sharon and Emma are in the Nursery and heard a scrape noise coming from inside the room. Checked the room next door just in case but no one there.

On leaving the room they walked straight into a spirit – see below

22.32 Lizzie, Sarah and Tarnia are sat on the first floor landing facing the stairs. Tarnia can sense and see a monk at the top of the steps in front of them. Lizzie and Sarah can see proper movement up there but nothing comes out on the camera. It makes Lizzie cry. Tarnia says there is also one to her right behind me (sarah) we cannot see anything there but we reach out to feel and can feel his energy...it feels kind of like sticky spiderwebs and more of the group join us and have a feel for themselves. Sharon and Emma walk straight through his energy and say they can smell flowers. He stands there for quite a while before moving and fading away.

22.40 Becky experiences a cold tingling down the right side of her body whilst stood on the first floor landing.

Vigil 1

23.00 Emma and Sharon in the original kitchen heard something drop in the corner of the room, nothing/no one is there, no other activity

23.07 Tarnia sees a little boys face peer through the railings up by the secret staircase. Some of the group begin to feel uncomfortable, something doesn’t feel right, so we move to the top of the lower staircase where the energy feels better.

23.10 Team Trouble are in the nursery and they all witness a flash of light coming from under the bed.

23.15 Shona feels a wave of cold go through her and then Angela gets all goose-bumpy.

23.17 Karen feels like there is a heavy weight on her chest.

23.35 Dining Room - Tarnia picks up on a small, sly horrible man that is a bit of a bully. He is trying to hide from Tarnia and so Tarnia takes a photo in his direction and gets an Orb.

Vigil 2

00.00 Tarnia in the nursery is pushed backwards whilst sitting on th bed. She tunes in and senses a 4 year old boy. Em is sure she saw a sphere shape in the corner by the door.

00.10 TT are in the original kitchen and both Angela and Shona get back problems. Angela picks up a rainbow of colours on her camera when she takes a photo of a chair. Karen sits on the chair but senses nothing and all other photos are normal.

Angela feels quite on edge and wants to leave. Karen sits in the chair again and feels all fluttery in the top half of her body.

Karen and Shona hear movement on the window sill.

This is followed by lots of different noises from all around the room – no specific area.

00.11 Sarah, Liz, Shane and Kerrie are out in the stables. Liz sees a man in a casual suit (brown) from the 1800’s, walking round the corner (residual energy). She can also pick up on children playing. They get a clear orb on the camera. They use pendulums, stones and the gravel can be heard moving. There is definately nothng there but they keep hearing stones moving and now falling.

Shane is stood at the entrance to the stableyard and stones can be heard bouncing as they are thrown near him. When they take photos there is a mist to his right as he faces us. He can also hear more stones and movement but no one /nothing is there. Lizzie can pick up on an evacuee child. An orb appears in the photos with the mist. She believes that the child died in some kind of accident and it has a connection to Archery (currently under investigation)

00.30 Angela is pinched on the leg and as she feels uncomfortable enough already and really has to leave! Karen and Shona hear a noise coming from the fireplace. Angela hears a shuffling by the door. No one is there. Shona feels very hot, which is unusual for her.

Vigil 3

01.00 Upstairs in the David Beckham Room, nursery and School Room everyone gets lots of orbs and whatever is there seems to be moving around the room...it is easy to follow its exact movement in the series of photos taken in succession.

01.00 Becky and Tarnias group are out by the stables. When someone took a photo, in the light of the flash, Wayne saw a clear outline of a figure of a person.

Whilst stood in the centre of the stable yard Tarnia felt someone by her left hand. Her hand felt hot and tingly.

01.35 Orb activity dies off.

02.00 Everyone has an hour to do what they like. Ouija Board takes place in the kitchen.

Beckys phone battery drains, from full to empty.

02.40 Becky reports a stone or something very small being thrown across the room whilst in the dining Room, many witnesses.

03.00 Beckys camera malfunctions and starts doing things on its own.

Conclusion

Quite a quiet night really. A few positive experiences and many that we need to compare to last times report. During the evening we also asked Tarnia to go to the stables to see if she could pick up on the same as Lizzie, but without success. This simply means that spirits could have moved on but is a great way to verify information. We will look into the young boy and his connection to an archery accident and see what we find.

Lots of good orbs were caught on camera during the evening, especially interesting is the orb that slowly moved its way round the DB Room, we will try to get these photos posted in the Gallery.

Michelham Priory is definately worth a return visit and we look forward to returning and seeing who we meet next time.h
