Pengersick Castle - 21st January 2006

A group of 15 intrepid investigators made it into Cornwall in order to carry out another investigation into Pengersick Castle.  Those that had not attended the castle before were taken into the grounds by Will Brunning whilst the remainder carried out a vigil in the bedroom.  We treated to several excellent light anomalies accompanied by the usual equipment failures. Batteries on several users cameras died without any warning and the DVDs that were taken appear to have been erased!  We are still working to recover some of the material.  A thermal and humidity logger was left on the bed throughout although the fluctuation in degrees was .5 and average temperature ambient was 10.5 C.  A laser thermometer recorded drops to 6C in some areas of the room.

Gill and Bridgette prepare for a night in by the fire!

More time was spent in the grounds on this event with teams placed in the Plague burial ground and the watered area to the side of the castle.  Most of the team reported (separately) of being uneasy in the burial ground area and a later photo taken showed a strange mist.  Smoking was ruled out and the mist appears to have been localised. Within a later group two independent witnesses experienced a tall shape moving to their front.

Our thanks as ever to Ian Addicoat from the PRO for arranging the venue and a special thanks to our own resident team Dave and J9 who did a sterling job organising the event - Thankyou team!

Date: 21st  January 2006.

Key incidents

The bedroom:  A fantastic light show was witnessed by several of the team whilst in the bedroom.  We hope to be able to recover some footage as the gremlins got us all! It was classified as very active by the team. One team heard a sharp knock and later taps from the chest at the bottom of the bed.

The Solar Room:  The Solar room was quiet however a few orbs where seen.

The plague burial ground: Several disturbed members - one strange mist and a figure! An interesting place. Most members felt uncomfortable here.

Tracy looks a little worried in the Plague burial ground

Conclusion

An exciting evening for most of us again.  With quite a bit of activity in the bedroom witnessed by several members. Pengersick never fails really and is one of my favourite locations.  It really is unspoilt! We had very good results in the bedroom simply by switching off and talking about day to day matters it was almost as if the spirits were wanting our attention! BJ
