03.09 am. A small child-like squeal/cry is heard by the open grave.
03.25 am. As the group prepared for another seance in the Witches Room, I quickly went to check on the trigger object in the Bishops Room.
When I opened the door, the room looked a mess, with the bedclothes on the middle bed scattered everywhere, a couple of the soft toys that were around the room had moved, and the spinning wheel in the corner of the room seemed to have shifted backwards at an angle, as if someone had knocked into it.
03.30 am. Group seance in the Witches Room.
04.05 am. Seance Ended.
After this, Myself, Dan and Andres went to check on the Bishops Room incase of any activity like before. When checking the EMF levels, there seems to be a reading of 2mg above each of the beds, but nowhere else in the room.
04.20 am. James G does a solo vigil in the Bar, with no activity reported.
05.00 am. Investgation Ended.
There was no movement of the trigger objects.
In conclusion, yet again The Ancient Ram Inn left us coming away with more questions than answers. Another fantastic investigation, and quite possibly our best one at The Ram yet.
One of the most intriguing things was the movement under the floor in the Witches Room. The fact that it could only be felt under the seance table is a mystery as is what was causing it.
Normally I would say that a member of the group could have been moving their feet, however I watched all of them as the seance progressed and when reports of movement happened all of them were sat still.
The apparent poltergeist activity in the Bishops Room could be down to the group in the room failed to tidy the beds after lying on them during a vigil, however, upon speaking to all of the members of that group, all of them could tell where all of the items that had been moved were moved from.
As for the table tipping, the movement could be down to sub-conscious movement from members of the group. This was the first investigation from 2 of the group participating in the vigil, and both were a bit nervous so this could be down to that, however the paranormal case hasn't been ruled out. If the group had been able to gather more intelligence from this vigil, then it would be easier to call.
All in all another great investigation at The Ram, with most of the group wishing to go back.
Verdict : Possibly Haunted, worthy of another investigation.
