WHAT THE MEDIUM SAID
Guest Medium - Eddie Nicol
In the Joinery Eddie sensed 3 spirits. 1 male was frail and may have
chest/breathing problems. Upstairs the other two appeared to him as
though one was a youthful male of around 21-25 years old and seemed
full of excitement. The third spirit seemed mischievous but Eddie could
not determine the sex – Eddie said he felt, “fuzziness in his head”.

Our first location was the Joinery - Humidity 71% Temperature 7.9 degrees.
30 seconds later Carl heard a noise and looked at the temperature gauge again - humidity 74% temperature7.9 degrees.
A light stick was placed close to the Ouija board and took a picture to
determine the position. We settled into the dark and took several
photos and started the video camera.
After a few minutes Carl and Sharon started to call out, they didn’t
get much downstairs so decided to go upstairs. After some noises at the
other end of the room and one of the guests feeling like she was being
pulled backwards by something wrapped around her neck, Sharon started
to use her pendulum, asking some of the guests to try to use the spare
ones we had.
The guests didn’t get much response from their pendulums, but Sharon
got a positive reaction from hers, asking the spirit to identify
itself. He was in his 20’s and worked at the railway station, he died
there, being attacked from behind which seemed to correspond with what
the female guest felt.
Carl and a guest proceeded downstairs after they thought they heard
something being thrown but found nothing. While we were looking back at
the photos taken during the night we noticed the light stick had been
moved, but we couldn’t be 100% sure it was paranormal.

We were here after the séance which had been very interesting. one of
our guests, Teresa, didn't like a corner, she felt like there was
something there, Eddie turned to her and said “lets go there then”,
Kris in true fashion was off like a shot to the corner before Eddie had
finished speaking, unfortunately Teresa couldn't make it all the way
and burst into tears - no shame in that it was the spirit doing it as
far as we were concerned, well Kris then decided to go right into the
corner faced into it, in front of Kris was an old trolley (possibly for
moving large heavy items in them days) he could feel that there was a
man there who didn't like women, Eddie asked Kris what he felt, so Kris
told him and Eddie said “ask him why”, Kris then felt it was a case of
because of his mum, it felt like she had not been that nice to him, so
he had a hatred of women.
Kris carried on standing there staring into the corner with his hands
on the trolley, he told the male spirit he was a coward for trying to
scare women and all of a sudden the trolley wobbled and it felt to Kris
like he had lunged at him, well Kris don't scare easy (or maybe he is
just stupid) so he just stood there.
Every now and then this feeling of being rushed at would come over Kris
and the trolley would wobble in his hands. Kris was well chuffed with
this as this is what we were after, he knew it wasn't him wobbling the
trolley. In the end Kris said that if the male spirit wanted Kris to
get out of the spirits space and away from the corner then he would
have to show himself to Kris.
Kris stood there and said that he did see a shadow taller than him
appear, so true to his word he thank the male spirit and walked out of
the corner. The only picture Kris got in his head while he was in the
corner was of a male figure in a blue uniform of sorts with a blue
porter style hat on. He also had a mustache.
THE MAIN WORKSHOP
This large L-Shaped room consisted of two main sections : The Fitting
Shop and The Engineering Shop. As the two areas were open plan, we
considered this location as one.
The location itself consisted of various machinary such as lathes and
other machines used in the construction or repair work for the railway
including the repair of locomotives and wheel turning.
One piece of machinary in this room did interfere with the EMF readings
that were taken at the beginning of the night and the pollution levels
(both outside noise and dust) were quite high.
WHAT THE MEDIUM SAID
Guest Medium - Eddie Nicol
We’d moved into the Work Shop where Eddie sensed another two spirits.
One, according Eddie, was eager to tell his story and we may encounter
activity from him during the night. Eddie added that this spirit,
possibly called Harold was a proud and caring man who liked to share
his stories with anyone prepared to listen.
But as we head back down the shop, Eddie sensed another spirit was not
happy about something and may be trying to disorientate the other
spirit. The name Peter came to Eddie’s mind, as did David though he
could not give any more detail on these two names. There did seem to be
a change of atmosphere to the room as we walked through it – from calm
and relaxed to ‘chilly’.

Humidity 65% Temp 11 degrees
It felt warmer than the first location.
We proceeded to the back of the room first and started to call out, one
of the guests felt his back get really warm even though the temperature
had dropped to 9 degrees and the humidity had risen to 69%.
We spent about 15 minutes in that area as we weren’t really getting
anything and were seeing lights further down so moved. Carl set up the
light stick in front of the video camera and asked any spirits present
to move it and left it unattended while we concentrated on a different
part of the room.
We saw lights and some movement in this area and two of the guests got
some impressive orb photos on their cameras. We also got an orb on
Carl’s jacket.
We took more photos around where the activity was, but was unable to
catch any more paranormal activity and it was time to move to the next
location.
Between locations, while we were in the Base Room, Carl commented on pain he had in his right knee.

This was the last of our locations, our group walked into the location
and walked from one end of the building to another. While walking
through Kris sensed that there were male spirits watching them. He said
that it felt a very male orientated room and that females weren’t
welcome. The guests agreed with this too. With this we decided to leave
the women with Sue at one end of the building while the men walked
round.
We were hoping that something might happen to the women but sadly we
didn’t here them scream or anything. The women then decided to walk
round the building and the men stayed where they were, once again we
sadly didn’t hear the women scream.
After a bit of calling out we decided to call it a night as nothing was
happening, we were still buzzing from the blacksmiths where we had the
stones thrown at us.
On the way back to the door we called out and said if there was anyone
there to let us know, not long after a stone was thrown!!!! Here we go
again we all thought, we picked up the stone and checked it, once again
it was a lot warmer than all the other stones around the ground.
We called out again and asked for it to happen again but nothing did,
so we decided to carry on to the door, then all of a sudden another
stone was thrown, this was a spirit who wanted to play or try to make
us run out of the building. Well we didn’t run out of the building we
stood our ground and asked for it to happen again, once again nothing
so we walked again and one after another 2 stones were thrown. After a
few more calls asking for it to happen again and a lot of searching
round to see if any human was trying to have a laugh we came to the
conclusion that the spirits here didn’t want to show themselves to us
but wanted to play with us by throwing stones……
