Haunted Devon had visited the house on the moor previously for a filming project with ITV however did not really get the chance to carry out a full investigation. On Friday the 4th August 2006 the team had a chance to revisit the location in order to obtain additional evidence.
Introduction The house had a verifiable history back to the C1400. Obviously the need the location of the house to be kept a secret is paramount and subsequently no additional details have been disclosed. On our previous visit two of our members had been taken ill one being physically sick the other describing an event that took place in one of the former bedrooms: 1st Floor bedroom next to Dressing room - 23/07/2006 "Approx 02:00 (24/07/2006) I started to get an uneasy feeling with regard to the corner opposite to the built-in wardrobe, facing the window (North east corner I think). Shortly after Lucy began to feel sick, she was nearest this corner. Lucy then left the room. I then remember something catching my attention in the corner of my eye in the same corner, I then remember Byron asking if I was OK and did I see something. can’t remember if I answered or not, at this point I am not totally clear of the sequence of events but I saw a young boy approx 7-8 years of age with a brown jacket and a “basin” style haircut step out from the corner quickly advancing to were I was sat his face coming up close to mine (I was sat in a folding chair with my head turned to the corner). I immediately felt anxious and uneasy, I also remember feeling great heat. When I returned to the room I was covered in perspiration and had a mark on the left side of my face (the side facing away from the corner). I was unable to stay in the room following this. Shortly after I found it difficult to stand or concentrate, I can only describe this as a feeling of disorientation."
The member went on to make a FULL recovery and to revisit the house on the later investigation. The picture above hopefully shows the sweat on the members hands once he had been persuaded to re enter the house. Place: The House on The Moor Date: 4th August 2006 Time: 1900 HRS - 0200 HRS Moon State

Preliminaries Top Floor Front East Bedroom EMF’s – None Detected NID – Fluctuating between 0 – 2 Ambient Temperature - 18 C Front West Bedroom EMF’s – Small fluctuating magnetic field 0 - 0.4 milligauss NID – Fluctuating between 0 – 1 Ambient Temperature – 17 C Top Floor Kitchen EMF’s None Detected NID Fluctuating between 0 – 4 Ambient Temperature – 17 C 1st Floor Front West Room EMFs - Nil NID – 0.5 Steady Ambient Temperature – 17 C 1st Floor Front East Room EMF’s – Nil NID Fluctuating between 0 – 5 Ambient Temperature – 17 C 1st Floor Front East Room (Adjoining Side Room) EMF’s – Fluctuating magnetic field 0 – 0.6 milligauss NID – Fluctuating between 0 – 5 Ambient Temperature 17 C 1st Floor Rear East Room (Priest Hole) EMF’s – Nil NID – Fluctuating between 3 – 5 Ambient Temperature 17 C 1st Floor Rear East Room (Purple Room) EMF’s – Nil NID – Steady reading at 3 Ambient Temperature – 16 C 1st Floor Rear Room West EMF’s – Nil NID – Steady reading at 0.5 Ambient Temperature – 18C 1st Floor Bathroom EMF’s – Nil NID – Steady reading at 5 Ambient Temperature – 18 C 1st Floor Toilet EMF’s – Nil NID – Steady Reading at 4 Ambient Temperature – 17 C Ground Floor Entrance Lobby EMF’s – Nil NID – Steady at 0.5 Ambient Temperature 14 C
Outside Perimeter Of Building EMF’s – Fluctuating magnetic field detected along the front of the building peaking at 0.6 milligauss. This is probably due to an underground electrical cable beneath the pavement and may well explain the fluctuating fields found in some of the rooms at the front of the house. NID – Steady reading at 0.5 Ambient Temperature – 14 C General No condensation was noted anywhere in the house. There was no significant rise or fall of ambient temperature during the investigation. The ambient temperature did rise in areas to 22 C due to the presence of investigators within the house. No changes in EMF’s were detected at any time during the investigation. Weather Conditions were dry and sunny at the start of the baseline test and remain that way until dark. There was a light rain shower after nightfall.
Small part of the technical teams equipment including DVD and HD recorder, wireless microphones and sound equipment with LCD monitors. Medium Use Our medium for the evening was Phil Simpson. The video extracts from his baseline walk appear below shortly: Investigation A variety of investigative techniques were used throughout the evening however they failed to provide substantial evidence to indicate that the house was haunted. I have included an article written by Caz Parnell regarding her own thoughts on the evenings events:
Conclusion The house on this occasion was extremely quiet and failed to provide any additional evidence for the team. It was a lovely house and I am sure that it holds many secrets but were not to made public on this occasion. Our sincere thanks to the owners and also to the team members that took part. Notes You can view additional footage from this investigation on the 25th August 2006 when the house features in a series called "Believe it or not" to be shown on ITV West Country.
