It was a clear night, and after a meal out for Sam and Andys 18th anniversary, we was in for a good night. And what a good night it was! The mediumship walkaround had a mini vigil incorporated which was situated in the meeting room, up above the chapel. Sam sensed a mason called David, and she saw him wearing a brown apron, which then morphed into a knight. Very strange how this morphed into another spirit, but something else happened later which maybe connected to this morphing. During the meeting room vigil, the table was vibrating during table tipping and also one of the guests was prodded. We also had a few moments in the chaplet, which is called by our staff because of it being a smaller version of the chapel. Sam sensed an energy which not was human that had come through a portal in this room as also saw a symbol, drawn on the floor in the past. On leaving the chaplet, Gemma, one of the staff members left the room first, followed by a couple of guests, then staff member Sam, and then further guests followed at the rear. The guests at the back said they saw Gemma still up in the chaplet room, but Gemma at this point was almost on the ground floor in the foyet entrance.Was this non human entity a shapeshifter, copying the form of Gemma? Or even responsible for the morphing of the mason in the meeting room?.
The first vigil was in the Coach house. Previous times we have been here we hold mediumship, with psychometry on the coiffer ( a casket which looks like a coffin) and people have sensed relics, bodies, artifacts, religious papers, but all have one thing in common, most of the previous guests sensed it came over seas from the middle east . This time, we decided to get more information via the ouija board. We had a man called Sir Edward Cage come through who was associated with the casket. The closest match we have around time period is http://www.ourfamilyhistories.org/getperson.php?personID=I35334&tree=00 Sir Edward Gage. Geniology surnames did change over time so it is a possibility. On this particular night, he spelt he need help in communicating and also spelt out ''S7''. He found the most effective way was to make the table the ouija board was on jump. So we all held hands around the table in a circle, and yet it still continued to jump on several occasions for a good 20 mins. We then made our way to the undercroft (first world war room) and during a table tipping session there, Sir Edward joined us as well as soldiers that like flirtation. 2 Tables were jumping around, plus banging happening on the door, as well as orange and white lights seen in the kitchen room. One of the best Victoriana sessions and highly amusing as well.
The mediumship vigil was held in the Chapel and although it was quiet in this room, we went into the cellar. We had a couple of taps and also a knocking noise followed by a squeak which was captured on evp machine.
The Equipment vigil was in the main house and chaplet and Boo Buddy, the ghost hunting bear was reporting signs of a temperature rise, plus captured an evp in its backpack. One of the guests said '' when did you make that noise?'', The evp reply said '' Just Now''. Noises of taps were being made in the corner where the organ was in the chaplet, and also k2 meters would go off on the odd occasion. In the main house the motion sensor went off and k2s went off also. We also heard the french soldiers peg leg in the main house.
It was a really interesting night.
Later on, Sam wanted to find out the link of the S7. It could have been the number of knights associated with the casket, The seven wonders of the world which where the casket would have passed through (the East and ship which everyone seems to pick up on when touching the casket), or the seven observable objects in space, known at that time (Earth, Sun Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus). During the evening early on, Sam did mention she could see Venus and Jupiter in the clear night sky. It could mean none of the above and relates to something else. The S7 is still a mystery.
