Various items had gone missing in the house, noises had been heard at night and doors had been slamming shut by themselves. One thing that had interested the team was what had appeared to be ectoplasm appearing in the skirting boards.
The team firstly had to research the history of the property. As it a residential house not much could be found out about it. However, we did manage to speak to the previous property owners, who claimed that none of this had happened whilst they had been living there. The fact that they moved out a year after purchasing the property tells us that they knew a lot more.
Our first opinion of the house was of calm and serene, no strange atmosphere whatsoever. We started by investigating some of the rooms of the house, but we found nothing out of the ordinary. The spare bedroom showed was slightly colder than the rest of the house, which was unusual but not unheard of in some of the other locations we had investigated.
As we brought Annabel in to do a reading of the property we heard a small bump from one of the rooms upstairs. Quickly running up there we found one of the children's toys had mysteriously fallen from a shelf. Annabel soon came into contact with the energies of a spirit.
Calling out we were surprised to hear what appeared to be a slight scratching coming from the skirting board. As soon as the team heard it, it disappeared. Further call outs gained no new activity, so we allowed Annabel to proceed with her contact.
She claimed that she felt the energies of a short man, around five feet tall and in his mid thirties, in the room with us. He wasn't a malicious spirit, but Annabel could tell that he had suffered from autism. He died when he accidentally fell out of his bedroom window, which was the room we happened to be in. This man had the intelligence much younger than his age. His spirit had found the enjoyment of watching the couple's children at play in the house.
I wanted to spend more attention on the children's playroom, and asked Annabel if she could ask if the ghost would visit us later. She told us that the spirit agreed to stay with us. We set-up or equipment in this room and waited excitedly to see if we could record any evidence.
For the first couple of hours we got very little in the way of paranormal activity; a few bumps and clicks but no hard evidence. Things had slowed down again, until one of the team claimed that they had just been touched on the hip.
