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

Function Room

This is quite a sized room that is, as the name suggests, used for private functions and such. Large tables and chairs dominate this room and at one end of the room is a bar.

This room is also used for staff when they come and sit during breaks.

Walkaround With Pam

Pam sensed two men beside the wall. William Slaley killed Francis Richards who was a butcher in this room. Mass of blood on the floor. Slaley was caught months later and hanged. An old man Jack, sits beside the fireplace.

Pam also sensed a peasent revolt. The name Celia Maddison owned the pub in 1794 and she used to sing. "Lofty" stands outside and listens to her singing. Bobbins is the son of Celia.

Group 1 Report : Danny Andrea Dell Sue

After the Seance it was time for us to investigate our next location.

Lindsey and Karen told us that the function room is not a place that they like to be. They dont like coming in here alone.

We decided to try some more glass divination as we had had some good results in our previous location.

We started our glass experiment. We got the name George again, was it the same George from the smaller bar area? We now had a full name for him by asking questions and going through the Alphabet.

Dell asked questions. We now had the name George Credy, he lived in Newcastle and worked as a blacksmith. He died within the area of The Old George - perhaps he was a blacksmith connected to a coaching inn? We also discovered that at some point in his life worked in Darlington. The Year 1891 seemed to be important.

Karen asked some questions and so did Lindsey and Paul. Some of the staff claimed to have seen this man in and around the bar area. He said he liked to be here and watched the staff. He said he also liked to drink here in the years that he was alive. And still does.

Andrea thought she heard a knock coming from the back of the room near the curtain. Sue also claimed that she could sense that there was someone near the curtain at the back of the room, we asked and the glass moved for yes.

We continued to ask more questions and Danny and Sue went into the corridor and done their own small vigil there.

Danny sat at one end of the corridor and Sue at the other. Sue sensed a man standing in the middle of the corridor facing Sue. He was tall and had blonde hair and was wearing light clothing.

Danny walked towards where Sue could see the figure and Danny claimed that the area felt very cold at that point. It felt very different to the rest of the corridor.

Group 2 Report : Sharon Carl Lesley Kris

We arrived at our first location, which was the function room on the first floor.

After settling ourselves down and getting used to the atmosphere Carl started to call out. One of the guest thought they saw the curtains, to the rear of the room, move but nothing else happened.

Lesley decided it was time to try to use a glass on the table by where the curtains were seen to move, a couple of the guest joined in, after a few attempts the glass was felt to slightly move, we also felt it vibrating and after a while we noticed that it had definitely moved from the centre of the table. During this time Kris picked up on the name George, Carl picked up on the name Fredrick two guests picked up on the name Mary and Albert.

At this point our team medium Chris came into the room and confirmed that there was two spirits in the room one male and the other female. After a while Kris decided to use the pendulum and see if he could get any reaction, the pendulum answered yes when he asked if there were any spirits present in the room but after that he started to get maybe answers so he decided that the spirits didn't want to communicate via the pendulum.

Carl and Lesley took some pictures during our time in this location with their digital cameras and did capture a couple of orbs on camera. Time to move on to the second location.
