REPORT FROM 23rd Dec 2006
Arrival

 

On arrival at the castle I arrived before everyone else and was sat in the car park for a while.  It was very strange as after a short while everything appeared to close in on where I was sitting.  I could also see a person approaching the car from the church, almost like a large dark shadow.  I decided not to stick around on my own and left to return when everyone else had arrived, this is the first time I have ever had this sensation strong enough to have to leave an area.  Once the others had arrived I returned and found everything as normal.

 

We walked up onto the main area of the castle  and decided to keep as one group and to investigate each of the different areas.

 

Castle Wall

 

We went towards the castle wall to the left of the area and decided to stand, call out and see what we could pick up.  I became very aware of a man standing behind and to the right of one of the other members of the group, with a long trench coat on, I was unsure as to whether he was connected with the group member or with the castle area, but he was only there for a short period and I could get no more from him. 

 

We all became aware of a feeling of being watched and a couple of people could see shadows move across the other side of the area, near to the room ruins.  It was almost as if a few other people were there but hiding from us. One of the group members decided to go up the mound in the centre to see if there were other people around, but would find no sign of anyone else around at all.  I do remember from when I had been here a year before that there was this same feeling of being watched then.

 

Mound

 

After climbing a very slippery mound, as it was very wet and muddy we stood  on the top.  I became aware of rituals having taken place on the top and people dancing round a fire in a circle.  It didn't feel evil or anything, almost like some sort of worship.  There was also a very odd sound like the squeak of a bicycle brake which needed oiling which occurred a few times.  After a search around we could find nothing which would have made this noise.

 

Room Ruins

 

At the ruins of the rooms there was not much to report apart from a stone which I heard thrown behind me at a point when we were stood in silence.

 

Conclusion

 

This is an interesting place, but not much actual activity to report as such.  It certainly has a very strange atmosphere to it, but apart from that not a lot more to report.


REPORT FROM 26th Dec 2006

 

Arrival

 

On arrival in the car park there was not much to report, it was very quiet as the local pub was shut for the night, but not much else.

 

Tower

 

When we were stood by the tower I was very aware of bones being underneath the ground where we were standing.  There was also a very uncanny coldness around the area just next to the tower.

 

Castle Wall

 

Once again, although with a completely different group of people, and having not told them anything about the other groups feelings and sightings, this group also sensed being watched and shadows moving in the far room ruins.  Quite interesting.

 

Room Ruins

 

One of the others picked up on some gypsy children who were present around this area.  A girl and two boys.  Apart from that there was not much else to report.

 

Tree

 

The tree in the centre of the grounds which we went and stood underneath was the strangest part of the entire evening.  As I was stood there one of my feet went very warm, I then asked if that was spirit if they could do the same to the other one, and yes it did happen!  There was a feeling of a female drawing close but I couldn't get much more than this.

 

Conclusion

 

Again another interesting evening, but it is almost as if whatever is around it trying to hide r be kept secret.  Maybe one day we will manage to get a much better connection and get more to happen in this area.
