The glass also responds to the name Mary.

03.30 am. When asking for how old the 'spirit' was, the glass responds to the number 6.
03.33 am. Glass moves when asked if the 'spirit's' name is Mary.
03.38 am. The glass moves slowly along the table.
03.41 am. Experiment Ended.
03.45 am. BREAK
04.00 am. After a group discussion, it was decided to end the investigation.
In conclusion, given the unusual location of the property (next to the Bristol Channel and in the shadow of the Severn Bridge) alot of the activity can be explained. The blue light that was spotted early on could have been a reflection of one of the lights on the bridge casting off the water. This could also be the reason for the shadow(s) seen. As for the glass movement, the girls were conducting the experiment for sometime before movement was detected, so this could be down to sub-consious movement caused by tiredness. The footsteps heard could be down to the amount of pipes that are in the property. As it is a working hotel, the central heating system can make alot of noise.
Verdict : Not Haunted.
