M&M Embroidery Factory - The Office Area

This image is merely a representation of the location and not to be taken as an exact

There were three areas of interest to the office area - two of them actual offices that were seperated by a glass and wooden wall. Both these areas contained everything you might expect to find in a working office.

The third area was the location near to the entrance to the M&M Factory and the small corridor leading to the Workshop.

Group Vigils

What follows are the group vigils that took place in this location.

Note : These vigils are presented purely in Group Order and in no way reflect the order
 in which each group visited the location during the night.

Group 1

NGIers - Lee, Julie, Phil

Guests - Kirsty

At 11.30pm the group trawled through to their second location of the night. Lee noticed that every time he walked between the two locations, the small room that joined them gave him a weird feeling, more uncomfortable than anything else. But he bravely carried on regardless.

They sat in the Managers office. Julie took photos and Lee chatted to Kirsty about what spirits could be, mediums and why he was a sceptic. As they were talking Kirsty felt someone else was in the room listening to them, someone other than the other group members, which made her turn to look in the bottom right hand corner (no one was sat there). It didn’t linger after she looked towards it and she felt it disappear through the wall.

Kirsty noticed that this area was bitterly cold, an uncomfortable temperature to be in, and she found this made it difficult to concentrate. There were no major experiences that the group shared in this room, no noises or clicks, but she did feel that there was movement in the smaller room where the computers were but felt as though something passed through that area, through the whole building and into other buildings rather than lingered there.

Lee realised as he was relaying his experiences that he didn’t sound very sceptical and Kirsty noted this. At this point the conversation was more interesting than the location. The group all chatted about various experiences and opinions. Then the location was over and they were joined by the others.

Group 2

NGIers - Jay, Claire, Carol, Mark

Guests - Di

Temp:13.0 degrees

As this was the groups first location for the vigils and as it consisted of a series of small, interconnected rooms they decided to split up into two smaller groups. At 21.49 Carol, Mark and Di remained in the manager’s office, whilst Claire and Jay went into the smaller office at the front of the building.

Claire made herself comfortable at the chair in front of the first pc and Jay sat in the chair to her left, deeper into the small room. After 2 minutes of sitting in silence Claire traced a faint noise she kept hearing, which she at first thought was coming from a pc, to be distant traffic.

At 21.51 Claire was looking towards the external door when she saw what seemed to be a tall thin dark shadow there. She was looking trying to work out where it was coming from, as it appeared to be like a tall thin man but very faint, almost transparent. As she was doing this Jay said he had the sense of something in the door area. Startled, Claire asked if he could see the shadow but he couldn’t. Claire saw it clearly for about 30 seconds more but then didn’t see it again. Mark immediately set his night vision camcorder up on the area.

Claire said she felt cold, then Mark says he did too. Jay picked up a 'swooshing sound' on his listening device. At first Jay and Mark concluded this was most probably something to do with the PCs that were in the office. Claire then sat with the hearing enhancer on, but couldn't hear anything but 'fuzz'. Jay put it back on and reported that he could still hear the noise. Claire said she could hear the noise from earlier which she had put down to being distant traffic so maybe that was what Jay was hearing. They agreed to raise their hands to indicate when they heard the noise, and as they tallied almost every time, they both agreed that the noise was definitely coming from an external source, and this probably was distant traffic.

At 22.08 Mark looked at the screen of his camcorder and saw a streak of light come from half way down the doorway and move down to the bottom of the frame and out of view. The streak could then be seen to loop back up into shot and move diagonally up and to the left before disappearing. (To date, and after analysis no definite cause for this has been found as yet).

Whilst this was happening in the smaller office/corridor, back in the manager’s office Di felt the presence of a jovial male about 5ft 8". She got a scurrying feeling as though this guy quite liked to play cat and mouse with people, who would feel his presence. She also felt that this guy visited the area quite regularly but that this was not his only place of "play". She described him as being quite thin looking, with high cheekbones and wherever she went to try and gain more information from him, he would stand with her momentarily then move away as if knowing what she was doing. She felt as if he wanted to give her the run around. She felt his presence was toward the back wall in the small office and got a feeling of being watched in there by him. She said he also liked to move through the corridor into the larger office and kind of play "run around" between the offices and corridor.

At 22.09 Carol called out to try and gain some response from this male spirit. Over the next few minutes Mark felt a tightness across his chest (he doesn't usually experience this). whilst at the same time Jay felt the pressure change in his ears.

At 22.12 Di and Carol left the manager’s office to go and stand in the corridor after Di saw a light there. They both described, at the same time a feeling of coldness to their shoulders, as well as a swaying sensation. All hell then broke out. The pregnant silence was suddenly broken by a rustling noise, swiftly followed by an ear splitting scream. This was immediately echoed by the smaller, quieter screams of varying sorts from the others, who then grabbed the person nearest to them tightly, until they realised and let go sharpish....looking sheepish. Everyone then rushed over to Carol, who was bent over double, shaking violently and unable to talk. Concern for her, and fear and confusion heightened as the group tried to ascertain what had happened. They were soon put out of their misery when they realised that Carol was shaking with laugher, not terror...because she had stepped on a bit of paper, which had rustled, causing her to scream.....It was noted though by everyone, including herself, that Carol was unusually jumpy in this location.

At 22.14 Claire said she could suddenly smell perfume, or talc. After quickly sniffing everyone she felt the aroma didn't match any of the scents she could smell on the others. Carol, by then fully recovered, continued calling out, then stumbled backwards, saying she had been pushed, although no one was near enough to have touched her.

At 22.15 Carol asked for whatever pushed her to do it again, and again, stumbled backwards saying she felt like she was pushed. At the same time Jay said he felt a touch to his (once apparently pert) bottom. (Mark wants it noting that he was absolutely nowhere near Jay at this time).

Di then picked up on a male energy. She described him as a tall, thin, man who was called 'Fred Sebastian', who liked to give the "run around". She said she couldn't say for certain that was his name, so Carol called out and asked for 'Fred Sebastian' to confirm his name with 1 knock for yes and 2 knocks for no. 1 knock was faintly heard by all, and no obvious cause for this could be found. Di took this as conformation of the name. She felt that the energy in the corridor was quite strong and polite, but that it was stronger in the manager’s office.

Carol and Claire both started to feel colder in the doorway. The thermometer showed that it was actually warmer around them that it was in the rest of the area.

At 22.21 Carol was still calling out to 'Fred' when Di complained of a headache, and at 22.22 Jay described feeling 'pulsing sensations' in parts of his body. (note: Mark is still not near Jay)

Jay said he found the room leading to the main workshop strange and asked Claire to spend time in there on her own. Whilst in there Claire felt dizzy at times but also felt that she wanted to be on the other side of the door in the manager’s office, so she relocated to there. Whilst stood at the other side of the door, Claire felt that there was one spot she was drawn to. Jay entered and when stood in the spot Claire pointed out he complained of feeling pressure in his ears. He moved out of the area and it stopped, but when he went back to the area it started again. This happened several times. Although they both checked, no obvious cause for this could be found.

They returned back to the little room leading to the main workshop and stood there for a few minutes, both saying they found this area a bit spooky but not sure why. Claire noted that she still felt drawn to the spot behind the door in the manager’s office.

Di returned to the manager’s office alone and felt that Fred was in the smaller office now. However after a few minutes she sensed him moving through the door and into the corner where the door to the room where Jay and Claire were. Di moved to that area, and as she stood there she experienced a swaying sensation, and felt as though Fred was 'super imposing' himself upon her. She was aware of what was happening in the room but felt rooted to the floor, and quite numb as well as quite cold. She felt he was now willing to come forward, so she asked Claire to come in and asked her to stand in the spot and to tell her what she felt whilst stood there.(Just to note that this spot was the same spot Claire and Jay had felt strange not long before).

Then Claire described a strong male energy with a thin face and prominent cheekbones who was very strong here, and that she felt a dull ache in her stomach (without knowing what Di had experienced), Di confirmed this and Claire asked Di to stand in the same spot again, which she did. Di immediately got the same feelings as before, but this time with a 'tummy ache'. Claire felt drawn to Di and stood about half a metre from her looking at her face. As Claire watched she saw Di's features transfigure into a mans features, a man with a thin face, high cheekbones, large eyes and a receding hairline. Claire also sensed there were other male energies about but that this one was the strongest, as he was very clearly seen on Di. Claire felt he was trying to get a point across but couldn't understand what it was. Claire saw the mans energy as 'pulsing', and felt almost 'hypnotised' by him. She felt no negativity from him, but couldn't decide what exactly she did feel from him, apart from his strong energy.

This lasted about 5 minutes, Jay and the others were in and out of the room at various times asking them questions, and then the time was up so Claire broke contact and Di's features returned to her own and she was able to speak properly. When Claire asked her what she had felt Di said she had no recollection of anything other than feeling rooted to the spot, feeling as if she didn't have full control of her body, having a tummy ache and swaying forward. Claire confirmed that Di had been swaying slightly. Once they both felt grounded they rejoined the other group in the main workshop for a quick break.
