Ancient Ram Inn Ghost Hunt Saturday 16th May 2015

This was our 12th visit here at the ram and it was a clear sunny evening. John was very welcoming as usual, and the ram had the same apprehension about it, as always. 

We split into two teams. The first vigil was victoriana in the attic and witches room, and mediumship in the barn. 

Victoriana: we had the name Rupert aged 25 and Rosie the 7 year old that was murdered by Charles lancery (her father preist) come through and said she brought 4 boys with her she knows in the spirit world.

Mediumship, we had the Automatic handwriting come through by Charles on the Planchette, and he said that he does look after the ram, was responsible for pushing Andy twice (in the barn 2nd ghost hunt) and making a guest freeze for 3 mins in the barn on the 3rd ghost hunt. We heard Gemma say upstairs its time, and then we heard a loud noise by the entrance of the barn with a shadow appearing.

We had a break and then this was followed by a midnight seance. We played monks chanting in the hope we would get some dragging noises above. This didn't happen and  the noises that we did hear was by guests in the room. People did feel cold spots around the legs though, indicating it could be the cat that usually visits.

The second vigil was the mediumship in the barn, and the equipment vigil in the bishops room. There wasnt too much happening in the mediumship vigil, except one of the chairs moved. The bishops room however was a hive of activity. knocking noises by the table. The ovilus saying ''Table'', ''Malevolant'', ''Coffin'' ''Suffoccated''plus other scary words. When asked who was talking, it said '' Evil'', which was pretty scary. This eventually disapated. The k2 meters then kept going off and we found this was Mary Gibbons, the high preistess what was there before the ram was built. Mary has a tendency to try things new and show off. This time it was the k2 meters, plus making the motion sensor go off when asking her to walk past it.

The third vigil was the victoriana in the attic and Witches room and equipment in the bishops room. The k2 meters were silent, but the ovilus brought through ''Adam, 12, January, Justin, Owen, Difficult'' and one of the guests felt like they had a noose around their neck and felt rather sick. A shadow was trying to appear next to Sam, Holly and Mandy and it said Sam Holly and Mandy on the ovilus. The ouija was coming out with Peter and saying evil. Was this the evil that was in the bishops rooms earlier on?

The lone vigils yielded any results. For that last quarter of an hour of the night at 3.45am there was 8 of us left. We lit a candle in the bar and we put a k2 in the middle. Mary made the flame get bigger and would move the flame around to people. She also made the k2 meters flash again, this time making the lights dance from the yellow middle light outwards, and would do this on several occasions. We stayed until 4.05am and called it a night.

The Ram Inn was great fun again :)

Ancient Ram Inn Ghost Hunt Report June 1st 2013

Ancient Ram Inn Ghost Hunt Report

Saturday 1^st of June 2013

Night Clear and Starry

Temp 8 degrees centigrade

Group 3 in the bar

9pm-3.30am

Was greeted by the lovely John again, bought him a glazed donut this time and he settled down with that and nice cup of tea. The guests arrived and we held the welcome meeting in the bar. On the mediumship walkaround Sam kept the barn secret to the spirits that was in there. She had been there enough times to know who was in the barn so the guests could find out themselves later by dowsing and pendulum work. In the witches room, Sam picked up on Mary Gibbons the high priestess and also Charles Lancery the preist who killed his illigitmate daughter Rosie, aged 7. In the Bishops room Sam picked up Skuse the highwayman. In the Bar she got a man called Adam from Exmoor who was trading parts for ships and lodged here during the 1700's and also Tom, the Innkeeper also.

First set of Vigils:

Sam was with group 1 in the barn to start off with. Dowsing rods determined the Charles Lancery in the room as well as Johnathan the blacksmith. On the hand held séance we had some taps, some louder than others and people felt energy around them. They later moved onto the witches room and Sam picked up on a David, who was impaled in the left shoulder by a metal spike object. He was working with cattle (cows only) and someone came in to rob something, and he died of his injury.

It was very quiet during this vigil, apart from the tap or two in the barn.

Gary with Group two in the bar and barn later on. Unfortunately the ouija did not go successful as we would like. We think the big ouija board has too much friction and the surface isnt right so it doesnt slide across very well. It did move bit by bit but not enough to get a message.

Pete with Group three in the attic and bishops room. There was some k2 action, but it proved to be random,not enough to start off a yes no conversation and the sb-7 spirit box had the odd blip but not long enough to make out a word.

So the first set of vigils turned out to be very quiet.

Second set of Vigils:

Sam was with group three in the barn and witches room. We did get some good taps and one of the guests was mediumistic and there was a female and through dowsing we discovered her name began with a P and with guess work it went to yes for Polly. Polly is a 17 year old Prostitute and the guest said she felt very sad and died of some sexual disease. Skuse the highwayman was also in the barn and we did yes no answers by touching us which he did. On the entering of the witches room, Sams torch started to flicker. So she set it on the table and sat down. The guest who was a medium picked up on a 9-10 year old girl from victorian period. So we asked her to take the energy from the torch so she did make it flicker a few times. We wanted more, so we asked her to turn it off completely. She did just that. Then we asked her to turn it back on and she did. Sam and a guest saw a shadow whizz past to the left of them as they were sat on the bed. There was also a female whine as well which we think was mary.

Gary was with group One in the bar and barn. The ouija board was moving and on the table tipping session in the barn, that tilted to a gentleman who was skeptical, which is good because that means if it was humans doing it, he's the only one that could have done it as it was tipping towards him and not away, and since he's skeptic he would try to disprove it anyway he can.

Pete with group two in the attic and Bishops room. We had some crazy k2 action going on and was answering to questions also.

Third set of vigils:

Sams was with group 2 and we had some good activity. The dowsing had charles again and there was some good taps. The torch was flickering again but this time in the barn. We asked for it to turn itself off which it did and back on again, which it did. Strange because this didnt happen inbetween during break times and we checked the torch afterwards and it did not do it during lone vigil times either. In the witches room one of the guests had a camcorder. We put sams torch as a trigger object in the middle of the room on the patterned carpet and set it in the middle of one of the diamond patterns. One of the ends moved a bit. There was lots of light anomalies captured in the witches room and when asked it would move to the person we wanted it to. It even danced around the chap that was camcordering.

Garys group 3 got the polly on the ouija board in the bar. And Petes group 1 had a permanent emf spike to orange all the way in the attic, they moved all over and it was always there. Phones were off so we have no idea what caused that. At this point some of group 1 left as they had to get home. Then the activity really kicked in. the sb-7 box said a name of jason.

Lone vigil times:

Sam had gone with some of the guests in the witches room. James from group 2, group 3 (nics group) and hannah and annie from group 1 was with the k2s. They told me about jason and then jason set off the temperature k2 and took it to its highest level. Then dropped it again. He did this several times on command and they also got a cat on evp meowing too.

Sam then went downstairs to help pack up some of the stuff and then heard a shriek in the barn. She raced in and Sharon from group 2 and Karl and Alison's group in group 2 said they saw a shadow in the barn on the right wall (as you look at it with the doorway in front) Then they did the automatic handwriting and it kept spelling out Karls name and a 'B' which they think is their grandfather. We asked on the automatic handwriting and the 'B' said it was not responsible for the shadow. Then there was taps and what sounded like a dragging noise also. It was very spooky.

So all in all, the night was quiet to start off with, then built up during the evening and got very very active at the end of the night.

Craig y nos castle weekend with ancient ram inn

From nottingham it took about 3 hours for the journey to get there to craig y nos in south wales. In penecoe in the breacon beacons, this castle is situated in picturesque settings. We arrived and checked in. We chose the bridal suite because of its hauntings as it used to be chapel, plus if any of the guests wanted to do a vigil in our room, they could do so. Sam did not feel alone in the bathroom and felt as if she was being watched. The 3 course dinner we had with the guests was sublime. After the 3 course dinner we met up with Holly, she was the castles ghost hunt co-ordinator. Ourselves and the guests had a mediumship walkaround tour with Sam our resident medium. She went first off to the salt cellars which she picked up on a gay spirit and also a shapeshifter. Holly smiled. She had seen the shapeshifter for herself a couple of years ago. 7 ft tall it was she told us. We then went to the derelict areas where th upper floors we had to take the guests in 3 groups at a time. the first group we was in one room and George was  picked up by Sam who said he was friendly. He was as a guest felt him sit inbetween her and Sam and he held the guests hand. We then had a mass group vigil in the theatre and we heard taps and bangs unaccounted for.
We then split up into 3 groups
Salt Cellars: On every single group vigil here there was tapping in the pots and pans room. The low ceiling cellar on two of the groups they were being touched - the men that is. Sam had picked up on the name Bertie and he was a man from the hospital days (when it was residential home in the 1950's) and he had a liason with another man elsewhere. He tapped in response to questions. This was confirmed by Holly on the second break and told us his name is Robert. The third group, the moment Sam said Roberts proper name a stone was thrown.
Theatre Cellars: Petes victoriana vigil had good ouija with family members coming through, and is a known portal in the theatre cellars for this to happen. The table tipping also went fantastic. They played Adelina Patti (an opera singer and owner for 50 years) song she used to sing and later on they all heard her singing beautifully on stage for about 5 seconds.
The Derelict Areas: many rooms to explore and two floors. The equipment vigil was held here and there was a little girl who had made her presence known on the k2s. She started to affect one of the groups and making them cry for no reason. In the end it got so bad, a staff member said ' right you must step away now as this is no good for our guests' and immeadiatly afterwards they heard running footsteps and the little girl was heard crying.
After the vigils most guests retired to thier rooms but three guests, Sam the medium and Holly braved it by sleeping in the derelict areas. The beds that were there looked like they had been around in the 1970's and although they were clean-ish, they still smelt of mushrooms lol. During that sleepover they heard men talking in the corridor. they knew it was not staff or guests as there is a keypad to access the derelict floors to get in.
The morning was supplied by a full english breakfast and ceareals and  muffins.
All in all craig y nos was brilliant. its size, the way th vigils are non contaminated as the areas are so far apart, its amazing and will be booking it as a regular.

Ancient Ram Inn
From Craig y Nos we headed east to the ancient ram inn in gloucstershire for our second night of ghost hunting. It was our fourth visit and John was as gracious and helpful and welcoming as ever.
Tierd from the night before, but undettered, we carried on and did the ghost hunt and we had some cracking activity.
The barn provided a loud bang on the table in on vigil when we challenged skuse the highwayman and we asked if the militia caught up with him. Also in the barn we had a misty apparition of Rosie one of the children and it resulted in cheers and claps afterwards.
The Witches room had  the door opening on its own with Charles Lancery, the priest that murdered his daughter Rosie in 1290. That happened several times. Also the k2s went off when Charles wouldnt allow any other spirit to come into the room and Sam had to push him back to make this happen. The k2s all flashed when she did this and then we had a great k2 conversation with Mary Gibbons, the high priestess who on previous visits tends to be a show off and also has made her presence know with her voice, and the k2s and doors slamming in the bar. The Bishops  room was home to many cold spots and we had a fantastic time with the dowsing and getting hold of skuse again.

It was a great night at the Ram. John was flirty as ever, especially  with our staff member Gemma. Much as she tried bless her, she couldnt get away lol.

Ghost Hunting at the Famous Ancient Ram Inn Gloucestershire

January 19th 2013 investigation at the Ancient Ram Inn in Gloucestershire. We had high expectations again for this venue, simply because of the last two visits. What with k2 meters going off, light bulb appearing from nowhere, being attacked in the barn and pushed to the floor, and also being grabbed by the head on one visit. As well as light streaks, and taps and door opening and closing and voices being heard.
John Humphries the owner on arrival was as gracious as ever. Armed with a bag of popcorn (whicch is his favorite) he welcomed us in and proceeded to tell us the stories of his encounters with spirit.
John Humphries is 85 years of age and have lived in the ram in for years. There is an incubus and sucubus that resides there as well as many other spirits.
Unravlling the spirits that live there is a mediums nightmare. Sam explains that its very much like peeling layers of an onion through time and trying to piece together the sequence of events throughout the history of the land and building and what spirit goes in what time period and what the place was used for during that given time.
We had our welcome meeting and drinks as per the usual, and then Sam took everyone on the mediumship walkaround. The bar is home to a spirit called Mary Gibbons, a high preistess who conducted dark magic and on past occasions we have heard her voice. This did no disappoint on the January's visit, when sam was calling out in the barn, you hear her say 'hello' and was captured on camcorder. There was another spirit that goes from the barn to the bar called Charles Lancery. He is a priest who in 1290, had a 7 year old illigitimate daughter called Rosie and murdered her when rumours started to spread she was his and she all of a sudden 'disappeared'. On the night in the bar a new spirit, another priest called William was felt close by to one of the guests, Sam felt her energy being drained by him and a stool near the entrance of the tunnel in the fireplace moved. It moved whilst someone was sat on it! The door shut on its own when mentioning Mary Gibbons and whether she regretted sacrificing people. Upon checking,John was sat in his living room watching tv and no way he could have gone up that quick to shut the door and go bac to sit down again.
In the Barn it was very very cold, glass work went very well, and one of the guests wanted a personal experience and because of the violent activity in the past, he wanted something to happen to him and he froze solid for a while unable to move. Be careful what you ask for in this place as you just might get it! The Witches room had some good k2 action going off and light anomalies captured on camcorder. Also a disembodied breath heard which was female between a guest and Sams ear. In the Bishops room we had good activity also. the light intensity meter picking up on a shadow on the third bed nearest the window. The toilet light turning itself on, the door rattling and also the wardrobe door rattling when it was locked. The Attic there was some strange bangs heard that sounded far away and when asked if it could do that again it did on several occasions. The Ouija board there was a little boy called Thomas who played with Rosie and was the same age. (Thomas and another girl called Cassie come from the pagan buriel ground before Rosies death in 1290). We did not have activity from Charles Lancery and Tom the Innkeeper this time, but had a cracking night again, despite the snow outside.
