St. Catherines And Lady Pecketts

We decided to join the two rooms at the back of The Fleece into one even though they were on two different floors. The reason for this was because Lady Pecketts room was quite small in comparision to the other rooms in The Fleece and it would have been awkward and difficult to fit everybody inside comfortably.

St Catherines room, with its uneven floors which made you think you'd stepped into a room from Alice in Wonderland, contained two single beds, a wonky wardrobe, a few smaller pieces of furniture and an adjoining bathroom with the usual accompaniment.

Lady Pecketts room was furnished the same albeit the room was maybe half the size of St Catherines and with no wonky floor.

Group 1 Report : Jay Chris Various Guests

We spent most of our time in St Catherines and once more Chris attempted a little bit of Channelling with the same results as he experienced in the Function Room earlier - strange grunts and noises and jerking backwards and forwards.

We spoke to the the guests with us who both claimed that they were not sensitive to anything spiritual in any way but with a little encouragement - they both tried to open up.

One of the ladies mentioned how she kept seeing a cap worn by an officer in the RAF but laughed the incident off has she had once been in the services herself - but upon more encouragement from Jay - she tried to refocus on the image but got nothing else.

Jay then informed her about the story of the RAF Officer who was alledged to have fallen out of one of the windows in the Fleece while drunk and dying and it is said, still roams the old pub.

At this news - she was gobsmacked - and attempted to try and get any more information but sadly got nothing more - could he have made a fleeting visit to the room and had made brief contact with somebody who was also part of the service?

Group 2 Report : Bekki Carol Keith Lynn Linda Karin Emma

The two mediums Diane and Kirsty joined us for this location, we started in St Catherine’s room, we settled and allowed ourselves to become accustomed to the dark, as we did one of the mediums said there was a female presence in the room, This lady seemed to be quite well to do and wore a red dress, with her hair up and seemed to be in her late 30’s or early 40’s, the feeling was that this lady was waiting for a man to return from a ship, perhaps her loved one. This presence seemed to be centred around Keith and one of the mediums confirmed that the spirit seemed to like him; the temperature was checked in the area and was noted to have fluctuated from 61.2 to 65.0 in less than a few seconds.

As we called out we heard what sounded like a tap on the wardrobe in the corner of the room, Keith was reporting getting hotter and hotter and his temperature seemed to indicate this too. We were given the date 1648, which seemed linked to this lady, but after a while we seemed to be getting little else and decided to move up into Lady Pecketts.

Although there were some feelings of hostility felt around the bathroom area, and I felt that someone wasn’t happy with us being there, little else occurred hear and we moved onto our 2nd location.

Group 3 Report : Mark Claire Jackie Donna Kev Michelle

St Catherine's Room:

• Time: 20.36
• Temp: Bedroom 18ºC / Bathroom 23.7ºC
• EMF: Vent above toilet door 10+MG / Emergency lights 10+MG

Lady Peckett's Room:

• Time: 20.45
• Temp: Bedroom 15.5ºC / Bathroom 16.9ºC
• EMF: Room Lights 3MG / Bathroom Lights 10+MG

The group decided to remain together rather than splitting for the 2 locations. They sat in Lady Catherines first. Mark and the guests positioned themselves on the beds and chairs in the room, Claire sat on the toilet in the bathroom. Nothing unusual was experienced in this 10 minitues.

They all stood in the centre of the room in a circle and sent the twitch around whilst Claire called out but nothing was experienced. All but Claire tried table tipping but no movement was achieved although the hairs on Marks arms stood up at one point for no reason he could find.

They group moved into Lady Pecketts.

Kevin sat on the bed facing the window with his pendulum and Mark used Claire’s pendulum and sat facing opposite him on the other bed.

Both pendulums swung in synch at first but then Marks gave different answers for yes and no when questions were asked whilst Kevs stayed constant so whilst Mark still did the pendulum the group went with Kevs pendulum for the replies.

Claire was recording this on her voice recorder, however it did not record so not all the details of this are able to be included. Various questions were asked however, the culmination of which seemed to be that it was apparently the energy of a young airman which was moving the pendulum.

Claire didnt feel any energy in the room and felt that the pendulum would move whichever way it felt the 'asker' wanted it to move so she gave Kevin some specific questions to ask.

Claire asked him to ask it if there was a Susan in the room :

It said yes.

Was the surname Parker? It said yes.

Claire asked a question along the lines of 'did you die here?' Each time the pendulum swung strongly for yes.

Claire made this up off the top of her head, however she did it in a way that made it seem that she knew something about this information and the room which the others did not. Claire told everyone what she'd done immediately after.

Claire explained that she didn’t think there was any external energy moving the pendulum and was interested to what replies would be gained from the way she asked the questions. She explained to Kevin that she knew he was genuine and was not insinuating otherwise, just that she felt that the pendulum would swing the way the user wanted it to and it did.
