St Mary's Church, Houghton On the hill.

2^nd December 2005

Weather: Windy/Cold

Investigators – Duggie, Lee, Clive, George, Jane, Benny, Tracey, Jill, Wendy, Lucy & Simon.

Outside Area.

There was a feeling of energy including a sickly feeling which a few members felt.  Some investigators felt as though they were rooted to the ground and unable to move.  There was the energy of a small boy, about 7 years old.  He seemed to feel secure playing on the wall but it was felt that he had probably slipped and fell to his death.  This was where the original village was.  A 14^th century monk dressed in a long habit like outfit, tall and rounded in size.  Some members felt tingling around their arms on the left side.  The name Sam or Samuel was given.  It was felt that there should have been a building on the other side of the wooded area, a common place for people to sell their wears.  It was later found out that this was were the village originally was.  There was a feeling of somebody being lost.  A Victorian woman was picked up swinging on a swing. Reading taken of 5.3 and –2.3.

There were working men doing building work felt along the edge of the wood.  There was a male energy felt wandering up and down the lane, who didn’t seem to want to go into the boundaries of the church.  Nasty words felt from a female energy, almost trying to intimidate the investigator.  Mild buzzing was felt on the shoulders and tingling on the head.  It seemed warmer in one corner outside.  Another reading was taken in this different area outside of -9.  A silhouette of a figure was seen next to Dug.  There was a feeling of being very cold.

Dug went outside with Clive and saw 3 spirits.  He then  radioed inside to investigators to see if they could see anyone standing outside through the window and they said they could see 3 figures, one of these was Dug, the other two were believed to be two of the spirits Dug had seen. 

An investigator felt like their throat was being constricted.  A female energy was felt and it was felt that she had been cut from her upper chest to her lower stomach.  There was an extremely tall man felt, a gentle person, but hard too, it was felt he walked and probably watched over the church and grounds.

One of the investigators was shown an occult circle brazened on the grass as it would have looked then.

Tower First Floor level

One of the investigators felt a ticking feeling on their forehead.  A man of 54 was sensed, believed to be hanged as he gave the investigator images of a long rope, and he could be heard to be yelling for a long time.  There was a sick feeling felt by three people.  An energy of a Man kneeling was picked up, in front of the cross praying and crossing himself, like it was his last chance to do so before something happened.

Musty smell was smelt by several, a difficult smell to distinguish.  Standing at this level, it was felt that the bell had played a major part in warning people of things happening, but the bell was by far smaller than the one now, it also may not have hung in the way it does now.  It was felt that a door would have been at this level.

Tower Second Floor level

A Reading taken of 11.3.  There was a feeling of being watched and a fragrance like TCP smelt.  A breeze was felt inside the room and yet the air was still.

Alter

Two investigators who were standing in the alter area felt that they should not be there.  George was shaking all over and short of breath.  It was felt that there was an undiscovered secret.  A male energy was sensed at the alter, believed to be a past rector with a bald head who was tall and skinny.  There was a feeling of being pushed down to their knees and a feeling of doing something disrespectful – the feeling that you should come into the church and say a brief prayer as you enter.

Main part of church.

A man was seen and felt standing at the back of investigator Lee.  A smell of flowers or tobacco was picked up.  A reading was taken of 6.5.  It was very cold around the legs of investigators sitting in the church, a temperature reading 7.5 near legs and Body temperature of 19.  A male energy felt of the very tall gentleman again who protects the grounds and building.
