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

Upper Level

The upper level was split into three distinct parts : The dance area, the seating area and the bar area.

The dance area was a good size. There was a hole above which leads to the attic of The Cooperage with old beam rafters. A set of ladders were available which could be climbed up.

The seating area was a fairly large area also with plenty of seats and tables available. A doorway led through to the bar area.

There was a large bar area here with a lot of space in the middle, however, there was no seating area here. There was also a set of stairs which you could take to get back down to the lower levels or you can go back through to the dance floor room and walk back down to the lower levels that way which is the way we used.

Walkaround With Pam

Pam said that Jacob was to be found mainly in the dance area and specifically up on the rafters. She said he is not to happy that we are here. She sensed that a lot of cold breezes would be felt here and shadows seen.

Again, sensing the presence of Jacob within the seating area and the bar area, Pam claimed that more shadows would be seen in here and also once more the sounds of footsteps.

Group 1 Report : Bruce Andrea Joan Holly Adam Jonathan

This was our 2nd location and a few members of our team went to sit in the hallways and the tolits while Andrea, Bruce and Joan stayed in the same place where we had the seance. After a short while, Bruce then went to sit in the seating area by himself.

We Were joined by Pam and we tried to make contact with the man called Jacob. Andrea and Pam could hear a knocking noise at the top where the rafters are. Joan started to feel very cold especially behind her, Andrea then confirmed that it seemed to become very cold.

Pam confirmed that she could see a shadow which had walked behind us. Joan continued to feel cold. Bruce was calling out in the other room and shouted through that he was feeling very cold at the same time as we did. We could also hear some rustling noises coming from the rafters. Bruce then re joined us. We sat for a few more minutes before going to out next location.

Andrea thought she would stay alone in this location for a few minutes while we had a spare few minutes before going to our final location. After a few minutes she heard a knock coming from the Rafters. And again it became before very cold. She stayed there for another few minutes then re-joined our team for our final location.

Group 2 Report : Kris Sue Lesley

Our first location of the night was the top floor and the attic (reached by ladder), this we felt being the most active part during the pre-visit, prior to our night?s investigation.

We had been informed previously about wires being pulled out of the back of the TV?s etc in this area which was impossible for any-one to reach due to their position, this did have the manager and owner confused about how that could happen and who by? With us being there, we tried to find out.

We got ourselves comfortable and settled down, Sue took some photos, we picked up a few orbs on the pictures. Most of us heard small tapping noises coming from the dark corner, Kris went to investigate what the taps could be, but we couldn't find anything to put it down to.

Sue then started to call out, asking any spirit people to make themselves known to us, some of us felt a cold breeze, Kris and one of our guests started to feel very sickly at the same time. ? But we didn't get anything impressive in the attic room.

We moved on (still in the attic area and above the dance floor). Kris and a few guests went over to the far end as noises and movement had been heard and seen by all of us. Sue said there was a man standing next to Kris, Kris then said yes I do feel cold down one side, he also felt that he saw movement in the area but was unable to see what it was. Sue didn't get a name for the man, he was just stood there watching, Sue then took a picture and there was an orb next to Kris where the man stood. - Time up!
