We arrived at the Skirrid at about 23.00 and both myself and Dan were taken on a brief tour of the property.
After this, Dan showed the group around the property as I conducted the baseline tests. These did not provide any anomolous results.

Apart from possible orb sightings on camera, no activity was recorded in this room.

There were alot of odd temperature changes occuring in this room, with significant variations on Maria's legs. When she reported them feeling cold, the recorded temperature of them was 7°C. Also reported was a cold spot between the sofa and the bed.

04.30 am. INVESTIGATION ENDED.
In conclusion, a relativly quiet night, considering the Skirrid's rich history, with most of the activity more than likely being due to natural occurances. Alot of the knocks and bangs can be put down to the fact that alot of the building still has the original wood, which is said to date back 900 years, so this makes the building very creaky.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to come from the investigation was a picture that was taken in one of the rooms. It appears to show a mysterious orange glow infront of one of the investigators (which happens to be myself). This was not seen by the naked eye, and no anomolous emf or temperature readings were given.

Verdict :Possibly Haunted, worthy of another investigation.
