The Cellar :
In the cellar area which is only small, the medium’s got the name of Andrew. He was connected with the building but wasn’t a family member, perhaps a worker there.

In the second part of the cellar which is now a changing room, members of the group were getting cold breezes around their lower leg area’s.

The medium’s sensed it was this male that was affecting them as other members of the group started to feel ill and one felt quite sick, a couple on the group felt their hair being touched whilst the calling out was going on down there.

A second name of “Harold” came through to the medium’s, he kept touching the ladies bottom’s and their leg’s.

The smell of leather could be sensed by a few on the group and the tightness of the throat, perhaps through dusty conditions.

Even though people were sensing thing’s the spirits were not for coming forward and doing much else.

It was as if they were laughing to a certain extent and only doing what they wanted to do.

The cellar does have a very weird and strange feel to it but is only very small, there were rumours that a tunnel led from there many year’s ago to Chadderton Hall park Hall.

This was kind of proven in the 60s-70s when they dug down to strengthen the foundation’s, they came across a very old tunnel that ran for about 10 meter’s before it had collapsed.

The Great Hall:
In here the group’s picked up on a very strong and well determined male presence, the group listened to the white noise Cd to see if they could hear anything or sense anything.

The name of the male was “Charles”, he was very proud of himself and he wore great jewels around his neck onto his chest, a little like a mayor would wear his.

He had very long hair for a man from back then, a date was not given but he was from many a year ago “1700’s”.

Michelle sensed he wasn’t a very nice man in anyway and wasn’t keen on ladies being in his space and room.

James got a male but wasn’t sure if this was the same man or not, he sensed this man was very cruel and thought he could do what he wanted.

James sensed him stabbing a dog and he enjoyed doing it.

The group tried Table tipping this worked, moving in response to the basic question’s being asked.

On the other side of the room another small group tried the glass divination where the glass started to move more or less right away, one of the ladies using the glass got shooting pain’s in one of her feet and leg.

James stood in the corner of the room but had a great sense of “move from here”; he stayed a little longer but then moved away standing somewhere else as he didn’t feel good stood there.

On the glass they asked if the spirit lived there at one point at the Hall, it responded by moving in the direction of “No” (the group had showed the spirit a spot for yes and no on the table).

They asked “Did you have children with you”, with the answer “No”,

They asked if he worked here and got “Yes” after a few more question’s they found out he was in charge of people but never lived in he Hall.

He said he knows the little boy in spirit upstairs’.

The group asked if there were any pictures of him in the house on the walls and he replied with “No”.

This man had or was in charge of the owner’s Dog’s, Michelle sensed 3 very large Irish wolfhound dogs with him and they were very loyal.

He was married but had no children and his wife also worked there with him.

Stu (myself) stood against the wall in the dark with his back to the group on the glass and got a member of the public to stand with him.

He drew with his finger a 6 pointed star on the wall and asked spirit if they could see what he was doing and if so could it copy him by moving the glass the same way.

The glass moved on the table and the people on the glass said it’s moving in the shape of a star.

Stu then drew another shape, a figure 8 and again the glass moved in the shape of a figure 8, this really gives proof to the group on the glass that they were dealing with something paranormal.

On the last one stu did a square on the wall but it seemed confused and did half a square but half a circle also, this could have been myself as it was dark and could not see the wall clearly at the time.

It was sensed by our medium’s that he didn’t like his wife very much, she went behind his back at some point and he never forgiven her.

He keep’s saying Bitch she’s a Bitch.

He liked his name but never liked being called “Charlie”, it was sensed that his wife used to call him this to annoy him.

The Blue Room: 
In here James picked up on a Lady in spirit who was a very pleasant lady; he sensed she was a nanny at the Hall who looked after the owner’s children.

He also seen a Heron shaped cot mobile over the cot that used to be in the room.

The lady lost her husband when she was only quite young and she started working as a nanny after her loss to take her mind away from things.

James also sensed that she had very bad headaches and sometimes she couldn’t work because of them.

The group tried table tipping but got very little response from it, Kay on the group had the Dowsing rods and they were responding to questions being asked and moving around and crossing during the calling out that was going on.

Kay asked out loud if somebody was close to her and they uncrossed and when asked if spirit could show itself they re-crossed again.

While the glass divination was taking place, Eddie and Billy came through once more, but Eddie seemed to be holding everyone back from communicating. Dee kept getting the name Alice who was very persistant but didn't seem to belong to the building.....this turned out to be a personal message which came through for one of the guest mediums.

End Bedroom on Corridor:
In this room the group tried a glass divination again and got some good results, they placed a cat ball inside the glass.

It moved around the table quite fast but would not answer many questions, it was sensed it was a young male child who lived here many years ago and he would rather play than talk to us.

The glass kept going to the edge of the table and loosing the ball from inside it, it kept repeating this for some time.

The name of “Billy” came through to our mediums and was connected to this young child.

He was very tired and just wanted to play a little but not a lot, it was sensed “He would rather sing, hey Diddle Diddle” rather than play with the glass and ball.

Another male was in the room and Lee on the team got very emotional with this male, the glass started to go mad around the table now as if the other spirit had come forward and was much stronger than the younger male.

The name “Edward” was associated with this spirit and he wasn’t that nice, he didn’t like the younger male being in his room and wanted him out.

He kept saying “out of the way with you”, he had an attitude and he kept repeating “Children should be seen and not heard”.

The K2 meter flashed up on the red a couple of times and then went quiet and calm as if they had left the room.

The lady holding the rod’s said they were moving and crossing over, but the medium’s sensed “Billy” again but nothing strong. He was laughing at the group and was saying he enjoyed laughter.

While Dee and her group were in this room, it felt very negative and charged with energy, many of the guests felt very uneasy to the point of 'huddling together', while using the glass divination, Dee sensed a man who seemed to be following them all night called Edward but preferred Eddie, this man has been sensed here on previous occasions. He was a nasty and cruel man who would beat the young boy called Billy, he was Billy's uncle and looked after him. It was felt he also murdered his wife and did not like women at all and looked upon them with distaste. One of the guests sat in one of the chairs and felt his personality change to 'Anger' which he didn't like. There was a very strong smell of purfume came into the room and disappeared very quickly, no-one was wearing any? From downstairs in the hub there had been some very strange 'anomolies' happening at this time.

 Then it went calm again and the group went downstairs’.

Well guy’s I hope you enjoyed this, it was a good night but we have had better nights at the hall.

All I can say is you can’t order this stuff on tap and it happens when they want it to happen….Stu
