Tech Team Baseline Report - Pengersick Castle - 16th June 2006

General

The team arrived at the castle a few minutes past 8 pm (BST ) the following environmental and baseline conditions where found .


Environmental

The castle stands in about 4 acres of mixed open / wooded area – on the lizard peninsular - the landscape sloping away from the castle is mainly open/ residential – the ground behind forested with deciduous trees of various varieties – there are a number of outbuildings connected to the main part of the castle – over all the property is not well cared for internally and some areas of the grounds are maintained in a “natural “ state .

Build materials: As above

Floors: As above

Windows: As above

Door: As above but of older relative age .

Electrical power: As above

EMF readings: Nil

This room was less cluttered again period articles around room - some dust observed on all surfaces and in air – cobwebs observed on ceiling with particles dropping occasionally

Both this and solar had observable insects flying around .


Burial ground – Plague pits

Open and wooded area on approx 30 degree slope - partly wooded and had obviously been cut back at some time recently – some evidence of landscaping in area

Bird and insect life observed in area

No other factors observed

Experiments

The capacitor experiments

Roof of tower: 2.7 mv

Solar: tt/1 13.3 mv

Master bedroom: live : 1.4 mv control ( shielded ) 0.9 mv

A belt worn capacitor was also worn by the team leader of 2 teams

Brian: 4.8 mv

Byron: 13.3 mv

Trigger objects

Placed in master bedroom – coins and cross – no discernable movement detected

The CCTV cart was tested and found working satisfactorily - no recordings where taken at this event with this equipment .

Generally for the Tech team this was a disappointing investigation – some strange mists where photographed by Brian in the plague pit area – but Brett picked up nothing of interest on the photos and what anomalies that where detected on the video footage taken , have been dismissed as dust or insects upon examination on a large TV – no apparent EVP was recorded on any tech team equipment .

The team left site at approximately 0030 hrs -17 th June
