We had heard about Temple House through a local ghost hunting team that I have regular correspondence with. They told us of an investigation that they had carried out a few weeks previous that had yielded some interesting results. They had decided to go back there in a few months time but asked if I was interested in taking a look as they wanted another team to verify what they had found. With my interest peaked I got the team together and we headed off to see what the location had in store for us.



Temple House is a very old building dating back to the early nineteenth century. It had originally been the home of a local dignitary. Even though the appearance from outside was of a building that had been standing a long time, the interior was different. It now housed newly refurbished offices and new equipment.

Our parapsychologist Dr. Katherine Copeland had carried out various tests throughout the building, however, nothing out of the ordinary had turned up on the Gauss meter or on the thermometer. She had warned that the electromagnetic fields around the building, due to the electrical equipment there, would interfere with our tests. In these circumstances, it was decided that the Gauss meter would be useless for taking any measurements.

Annabel Keogh, our spiritual medium tried to contact some of the spirits that may have been lurking around in the building, and this was where things started to get a little interesting.

She had picked up on the name 'Alice Carruthers'. This is the name that the previous team had picked up on also. She was a girl who had been working at the house as a maid to the original owner. Apparently she had become pregnant by the owners son after a brief affair. Instead of and help and support, she was pushed down some stairs by the son, who saw this situation as embarrassing and worried about his standing in the community.

We all agreed that we would carry out our investigation around the stairs, as Ann had informed us that she felt no other spirit presences in the building, but that Alice was causing some paranormal activity in an attempt let the living know she was here. Ann also said that she could help the young female spirit find her way to the other side, once our investigation had been completed. With this in mind, we set up our equipment, then waited to see what the night in the house had in store for us.
