... Head over to Haunted UK for a review of the general history and haunted history of the Busby Stoop Inn. Alternatively, use the table of contents to view the reports for each location.

Room 4

Up some stairs and along a small corridor which we had been informed was active was Room 4.

With floorspace dominated by two beds, room 4 could just about hold 4 people sitting on the beds. Contained within the room through a doorway was a bathroom and next door to Room 4 was another bathroom that could be used by any who stayed in the inn.

Walkaround With Guest Medium - Ralph Keeton

While walking up the stairs to get to room 4, Ralph could sense an accident that had taken place on the stairs, someone had fell (or been pushed) down the stairs. He also felt that the current stairway was not the original.

Again, like the barn, he said a wispy dark figure would be and could be seen on the stairs and in the corridor (Carol - the landlady of the Busby Stoop - had seen this very thing) and Ralph claimed that footsteps would be heard walking along the corridor (again, this had been reported).

In room 4 itself, Ralph could pick up on a conflict that was taking place - a conflict for dominance between 2 spirits. Upon entering the room Nikki, who was accompanying Ralph on the walkabout, claimed that she felt very uncomfortable in this room.

When Ralph started to talk about another spirit in the room who seemed to worry and stress out about everything we heard accompanying knocks in the room. We asked for more knocks, and more where heard.

The 2 spirits that were in conflict here were thought to be 2 brothers.

Again, Ralph picked up on the man from the barn here - the "Squire" man with the afflictions - it was felt he walks around these corridors too. Again, Ralph wasn't too sure if "Squire" was a tile or name (felt it could have been "Spire") but he also picked up on the name "Jack" associated with this man.

Group 1 Report : Jay Sue Danny Kris Nikki

We found the upstairs locations to be the most active within the entire inn.

We began by sitting quietly in Room 4 on the 2 beds that were available, although Kris decided to go sit alone in the bathroom next door.

One we had allowed the location to quieten and settle, we gathered in a small circle, holding hands, and began a calling out session. Jay recounted the story of Thomas Busby and how he had been hung and so we tried to focus on andcalled out for him to communicate with us. Almost immediately we began to get a few responses in the room and everyone reported a drop in temperature.

At one point we heard footsteps on the corridor and when we asked out again for the footsteps. Maybe it was just in response to this, but a few minutes after the footsteps Kris asked eveyone where we thought a spirit would be right at that point andeveryone replied in unison 'standing in the doorway'. Those withtheir back to the door felt what they described as an 'uneasiness' with the door and they said they kept looking towards it.

We'd set up a night vision camera in the corridor, but it had picked up nothing out of the ordinary during this period.

Group 2 Report : Nikki Dell Carl Sharon Chris Karen

We started in our First Location at 12.30am. After some time Nikki's battery was dead already and Nikki sensed the name Sophie.

There was also a temperature drop and rise within a short time which seemed unusual. Around 12.55am Knocks could be heard in the bathroom and also at 1.05am more knocks could be heard coming from the bathroom.

Also in the bathroom Andrea and Nikki had set up a trigger object Experiment and the coin had seemed to have moved. After a little while longer in this location we ended the vigil and joined the rest of NGI for our full team seance lead by our Guest Medium Ralph.

Group 3 Report : Dave Bruce Andrea Zoe Michael

Our next Location was upstairs so we headed up there after taking part in a full team seances lead by Ralph our guest medium for the night.

We all sat down and waited for a few minutes for everything to calm down.

The rain could be heard outside. Andrea thought she could hear footsteps coming from the corridor but knew there was no one about. Zoe said she could see Green Flashes in the bedroom, she felt very uneasy and she left the bedroom and headed next to the main bathroom.

Andrea, Mike, Dave and Bruce stayed in the bedroom. Andrea thought she saw a white flash in the bathroom next to where she was sitting in the bedroom but she couldn't be sure if it was the light from the night vision cam.

Bruce called out and we thought we could hear some clicks. Zoe rejoined us in the bedroom and Dave and Bruce went into the bathroom for a few minutes. Andrea, Zoe and Mike remained in the bedroom and straight away all three felt very cold indeed like there was a big breeze around the room. Zoe told Andrea about a spirit girl called Sophie who she has spoke to a few times. She drowned in a near by lake but visited The Busby Stoop. She also told Andrea that she had seen a few other spirits as well. The next day Andrea was looking through the reports ready to send them to Jay and in group 2 Nikki had come up with the name Sophie. Nikki was not aware of what Zoe had told Andrea at the investigation.
