19.35 Upon entering the house when we first arrive, Tarnia can see a man on the stairs in his 50’s with braces on, rolling up his sleeves.
20.09 Whilst we are sat in the dining room, Chris sees something move across the doorway in front of the radiator.
20.34 Tarnia sees the same as Chris.
21.30 We go down the road to a neighbours house but whilst in the street Tarnia can see a man in his 60’s leading a Shire horse.
Neighbours House Number 3 – Tarnia can see a rocking chair in the corner of the room near the window facing the door to the hallway. She believes the lady that sat here saw spirits going passed the door. She may have also had brain problems. Lizzie stands there but feels strange like there is a pressure round her head.
Tarnia picks up on youngsters in the hallway, 1940’s ...oldest boy about 10, youngest about 5 yrs old.
Back Room – nothing feels tight in here...she see’s the room completely differently with a wooden floor and sideboard.
Small blue bedroom – Completely different energy to other rooms.
Front bedroom – nothing
Landing at top of the stairs – A feeling of being drunk and being pushed on the back of the head. If she closed her eyes she would fall.
Speaking to the lady of the house she said she has never really experienced anything here, except a funny old perfume smell between the 2 front doors.
Returning to Victoria Cottage
21.53 Becky caught orbs coming down the stairs on night vision.
Emma got a something in the same place but its bigger and brighter.
Possibly a spirit light.
Upstairs - Lizzie picks up on a Victorian lady in a long dress who wanders around on the landing and Sheilas bedroom.
Front small room – Liz picks up on a little boy blonde hair, blue shorts and braces
Back room – Liz feels closed in, a heavier feeling.
Tarnia picks up on a cold energy that comes out of the small front bedroom onto the landing.
Tarnia see’s a hand come through the railings and kind of wave. We go round to the stairs but it is physically impossible for someone to put there hand through the railings as it is too high to reach up.
Psychommetry
Tarnia is given a framed photo of a couple with 2 little girls – one in a white dress and one in pink (see website gallery)
Tarnia's words were as follows:
Heat – joints, hands stiifen and ache – claw
Her energy – visits the photo.
Man – proud – not overly wealthy.
She’s getting pains behind eyes
Youngest girl – fear for her safety, health worries, very protective, fear of losing her.
I can see the other girl older, playing but not the younger one. Sickness and bed. Disease – seriously wrong. Sadness in the mans eyes
Older girl is pushed out a bit. Part of the family not connected as well.
REALITY – The lady in the picture was Sheilas maternal Great Grandmother and went blind.
The older in pink is Sheilas Grandmother and the younger girl died not long after the picture was done...possibly kidney related.
CONCLUSION
A nice warm welcoming happy house and that is something that people always say apparently. Sheila herself has never seen anyone/anything in the house apart from a cat that had passed.
It is an original old building that dates back to 1892. Possibly Officers quarters at one time, MOD and possibly a childrens home. Others remember old houses that used to be boarded up and derelict opposite where these houses now stand.
Apart from a couple of sightings and the light on the stairs, not much in the way of physical findings, but then Sheila called us in out of interest because of the age of the house and not because of what she had experienced there.
Our special thanks to Sheila for a lovely evening and fantastic meal which was completely unnecesary but very much appreciated!
