Slaters Arms - First Floor

First Floor - Floorplan

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

Up some tight stairs, filled with junk, access was gained to the first floor of the pub. This floor contained the living quarters of anybody who chose to be a live-in Landlord. Although Bren was planning to move into the pub at sometime, he still hadn't, and although tht living room area contained some of his personal belongings which he had dumped - the rest of the floor .. Living Room, Master Bedroom, Second Bedroom .. was devoid of anything you would consider needed to live in other than a skeleton frame of a bunk bed in the second bedroom. There was also CCTV camera control and recording equipment in the area of the second bedroom which gave off a little noise.

There was also a kitchen and a bathroom on this floor that only contained the basics that you would imagine that each of these types of rooms would contain (beyond, the odd personal tid-bit).

Baseline Report

Dereliction

Although not strictly derelict, the upstairs area of the Slaters Arms was almost empty other than a lot of personal items thown down randomly by the landlord who had recently took over the pub and had not yet fully moved in.

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 - Mark, Dell

Guests - Bren, John

Mark set up his night vision camera pointing down the corridor towards the security camera equipment. Nothing unusual would be recorded on film during this vigil.

Mark went and sat in the Small Bunk room at the end of the corridor where he monitored the temperature and humidity.
ell, Bren and John distributed themselves in other rooms throughout the first floor and sat in silence.

Nothing unusual was experienced in these locations.

Group 2

NGIers - Claire, Jay, Bekki

The group decided to each spend 5 mins exactly in each area alone sitting just experiencing the rooms and noting things down for comparison
laire sat on the floor facing the bunkbed with her back to the wall head tilted looking at the doorway.

1.01am Claire saw a small white opaque 'shape' (about handle height on the door) to the right of the door. She had no idea what it was and couldn't recreate it in any way. Jay and Bekki were in other areas and were still during this time.
Claire also picked up on the Jimmy Carter and Kane which were repeated in her head several times.
Room next to bunkbed room

1.10am Claire sat with her back to the wall seperating it and the bunkbed room. This room reminded her of her grannys at Blackpool but that was because a cupboard was similar.
Nothing else of interest was noted here.

Jay lay quietly on the floor. Occasionally he saw small pin-pricks of light flash and then disappear. These would show in the CCTV room next door. Jay thinks it was entirely possible that it could have just been his eyes going funny due to lying down in an awkward fashion.
Living room

1.17am Claire passed Jay as he left this room where he told her to sit with her back to the external wall facing the open door looking out of it and to see if she experienced anything because he had.
Claire didn't experience anything of note.

Bekki felt that this room had a nice feeling to it, almost homely, there were warm patches in places.

Jay's first room was the Living room. Jay sat for a while with his headphones on and listened for any sounds out of the ordinairy. Other than passing traffic, people shuffling in other rooms and the odd farting mouse - nothing.

At one point, he did see (looking through the slightly open door), a shadow appearing and disappearing against the wall / door out on the landing. The shadow had no form and was just a shadow. Later investigation showed nothing that could have been casting this, and nobody else was wandering around outside.
Kitchen

As Bekki entered this room, she had the urge to lie down on the floor. At the same time, she smelt smoke and got the feeling that there had been a fire there at some point and that her urge to lie down had been connected to the presence of smoke. Bekki felt that the air had been fresher closer to the floor.

Claire briefly went into the kitchen because Bekki had been in there ages so she wanted to check she was ok.
Bathroom

1.25am Claire sat on the floor facing the window where kept getting 'The Kings Head' repeated in her head.
Both Bekki and Claire saw shadows in front of the cupboard outside of the room that they could find no explanation for. Jay said he was not moving about near there at that time. Jay then joined them for the last 5 mins in the location.

Jay entered the bathroom and found Bekki and Claire already in there. They sat in the darkness (Jay on the toilet) for a while.

At one point, the group thought somebody was walking around on the landing outside of the bathroom (interestingly, it was against the bathroom door and the adjoinging wall where Jay had spotted his shadow earlier when in the living room).

Since we investigated this pub, strange goings on have been witnessed by the landlord and indeed some of the drinkers.
