Sonning Room/Margaret Dickinson Room - 22:05-22:45 p.m. - with Sara
Margaret Dickinson Room
As there was an audio loop in the rooms no EMF was used to eliminate the possibility of interference with regard to readings on the same.
Temperature reading is 14.2-17 degrees.
I didn't personally feel like there was anything in this room. Nothing picked up on dictaphone. Temperature 14.7 degrees.
Sonning Room
Temperature in here is registering between 14.4 and 12.8 degrees around the room. Again, I didn't personally feel anything in this room.
Some of the group are hearing movement above us. Sara asked Tim and Vince whether they were above and to independently bang on the floor where they were, thus eliminating the possibility of the noise coming from them. Nothing was heard from either... We were unable to identify was the cause of the sound actually was. Nothing happening with glass divination (this is in either of these 2 rooms).
Asking out for the previous sound to be repeated but nothing happened. Nothing on dictaphone. I personally did not hear the above mentioned sound so am unable to comment on the same.
Vansittart Room - 23:15-00:00 a.m. - with Tim
Temperature reading in here is between 14-15.1 degrees.
One member in the group used a crystal (metal spiral type pendulum) for dowsing. The very end of the crystal I can only desribe as quivering, even though the said person's hand was extremely still, there were no back and forth movements.
Moving onto glass work, very slight movement but nothing significant.
A tapping sound was heard behind us near the fireplace - was this possible soot falling down? On investigation the fireplace had actually been blocked off.
Dictaphone - there was a humming type of sound that I cannot really explain, it was only a short sound, not very long on the recording and it was more of a background sound whilst the group were talking, a highish pitch... A camera type flash was also being seen by some members of the group, I only witnessed the same once. I must state here that no pictures were being taken at this point in time.
Elizabethan Room & Henry VIII Room - 00:25-01:20 a.m. - with Phil
Elizabethan Room
Glass divination used, slight movement but nothing significant.
We then went onto try table tipping. Most of the group were holding the table - no response when asking out. Just to test out theories of possible sounds the group lean on the table which produces a squeaking sound - this can therefore be eliminated if heard.
Some people in the group, myself included, experience a knocking effect on the table, it is only slight but it is noticeable. We then applied force on the table again to hopefully eliminate such sound. However, we were not able to recreate the sound, all we got was the squeak previously mentioned.
Phil asking "if you are somebody in this room we do appreciate the attempts you are trying to give us if you are doing so..."
I picked up a "strange sound" on the dictaphone, one of which I cannot say resembles "xxx" type of sound or "yyy" type of sound...
We move to another part of the room and a different table to see whether any of the above sounds can be replicated but this was unsuccessful.

A. Darrol feeling heavy to his right side.
Q. Is the 4 year old boy still with us?
A. Yes.
Q. Can you let someone else in the circle know you are here?
A. Response is positive.
I would like to raise the issue here of whether this response could have been a psychological response, thought impression? Also, with regard to the pendulum effect, as good as this is as an experiment, does it work on the premise that an individual knows what effect a pendulum has in terms of movement and then perhaps subconsciously this effect actually happens which in turn seems to provide the answers to the questions being asked??? Can this be deemed paranormal or psychological? I have been on the end of this experiment but from outside the circle and its effects are rather strange...
Q. If anyone else is present in the room please come forward.
A. Zoe moves backwards.
Q. Do you want us to leave the room?
A. Yes.
Q. Before we leave the room, can you let Lisa know of your presence? Can you interact with her in some way? If you can we will leave the room.

We then have a short break before continuing with the questions and Lisa has now taken Zoe's place as the pendulum.
Q. Are there any female spirits in the room willing to communicate?
A. Yes to female.
Q. Were you at one point the lady of the house/property?

A. No response.

A. Same response.
Picking up on the name of Catherine but not sure as to whether this has any links with the property or not...
Great Hall - 01:45-02:36 a.m. - with Tim (this is the base room)
Temperature registering between 16.9-17.3 degrees.
Glass being used in here, some movement but nothing significant in relation to the questions being asked.
Planchette used - again, nothing significant, just a few squiggles. However, it was trying to tip and on a couple of occasions it went right over.
Crystal coil (used in a different room - see above) - no response.
Scrying Mirror - (Myself) - I seemed to have some type of garment covering my head, almost hood like, also noticed was a lump on my forehead (of which I do not actually have!). (Male in the group) - everything blacked out when he attempted to scry and then he reappeared with what was facial hair, pirate like apparently... (Tim) - just dark below eye level.
Free Time
I did not participate in the free time due to feeling unwell and therefore left the venue early.
