The Royal Oak - Upstairs Function Room

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

The Upstairs Function room sat at the front of the Royal Oak and, although its name makes it sound like a grand affair, was quite small.

The only furniture in the room consisted of a few randomly placed chairs, a couple of tables and a pile of other tables and chairs stacked up against a back wall.

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, Claire, Carol, Jay, Michelle,

Both groups then switched locations as Mark, Jay, Claire, Carol and Michele trotted upstairs the the function room. Moonlight coming in through the windows that were causing a light patch on the wall opposite. Mark saw big shadow go across this light patch as if a figure had walked past the window (but it was on the 1st floor).

At 1.50am Claire mentioned she was experiencing a 'tightness' across her chest. Mark had been feeling the same thing prior to her saying anything and Jay also complained of a 'tightness' too.

Claire stated to pick up on things once more. She felt as though she was getting dragged by her hair, through a street with grey cobbles (although she was a man in her vision). She then 'saw' grass and an empty gallows, but she felt that people would have gathered here to watch the hangings, although not in the hundreds but smaller crowd. This was felt by Claire to have taken place to the right of Gilly Gate which was a short distance away. She didn't however 'see' any city wall and got no sense of the gate itself. It was instead on a slight incline (maybe landscaped), very grassy though. The incline had been levelled for the gallows, so maybe landscaped for this.Claire was keen to point out that she was pretty sure that these images were her imagination and were not anything like the 'vivid' images that she had experienced downstairs.

Various other images ranging from 'pyramids with enochian writing round them' to 'brightly coloured snakes' were offered by up by certain NGI members having just popped into their heads.

At one point Claire began to feel absolutely furious. She was sat there thinking ''why the fuck am I doing this, what the fuck is the point of this, why am I wasting my time here etc''. She wanted to get up and walk out. Claire expressed her frustrations vocally which made Carol laugh as she said that was exactly how she was feeling too. Claire felt as if she had somehow tuned into Carols emotions which in turn caused her to react so suddenly and strongly. Claire described this as 'black' anger.

Later on, Claire was struggling to keep her eyes open. She knew she was picking up on someone cos she often experiences a similar thing when working with clients who are going deep or are falling asleep when having a treatment. She asked who it was but everyone said they were ok. Mark said Carol hadn't answered and the group called out to her she didnt answer. Later she said she had fallen asleep at one point.

By 2.50 the group returned downstairs to discuss the vigil with the others.
Function Room - 1.30am - Mark, Jay

Jay and Mark then went back upstairs to the function room after 10mins to try a bit of glass divination. Although the glass did move ever so slightly and the table did seem to vibrate there was nothing even remotely conclusive that occurred. We relocated to the downstairs small side room to try again.

Group 2

NGIers - Bekki, Dell

Guests - Sharon, Steve,

Group 2 Report : Bekki, Dell, Sharon, John, Steve

The group was sat in the larger part of the room. As theysat, the group became aware of movement. Sharon said she could see what looked like something pop its head around the corner by the door, as if it was popping in and out of focus. Bekki was looking at this from a different angle, but did detect movement too.??Bekki became aware of the beams of light coming from the crack in the broken doorway, there were two of these, one where the hinge didn't meet which was projected onto the wall and another going across the floor. Bekki became aware that every now and again the beam of light would move as if someone was moving the door, whcih shouldn't move easily considering it was off its hinges. The beam on the floor became narrower as the beam on the wall became wider, indication the door had been moved.

The investigation concluded at 4.40pm
