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 - Jay

Guests - Various

Room 29 was certainly a room that Jay was looking forward to returning to. On his previous 2 visits to the Schooner over the years, it was this very room that had provided some of the best activity that he had experienced in his time with Northern Ghost Investigations.

The group settled down around the room, with one of those present sitting in front of a dressing table and attempting to Scry.

After a while Jay began to call out, asking for any spirits to come forward and to communicate with the group like Jay had witnessed before.
The Scryer did report a slight change of the features in her face and thought at times that she was able to see a man looking back at her, but it was very fleeting and nothing that remain fixed for too long.

Jay continued calling out as some of the others investigated the bathroom where a strong, pungent odour had been present all night long. Jay began to tap on the wooden bed frame asking for any person, spirit or entity to repeat the sound that was being made. Again he tapped .. and again. Finally, there was a loud Tap-Tap from the other side of the bed from where he sat, low down on the wall, which made a few people jump. Result?

Sadly, no. It was later discovered that the group in Room 30 next door had been also trying the same trick and it was in fact them tapping!! Bugger!

Group 2

NGIers - Claire

Guests - Lyndsey, David, Jamie, Catilin,Gillian, Linda

Claire sat on the floor near the corner where the coat hangers were, Linda and Gillian sat on the bed nearest the window, Dave sat on a chair near the doors, Caitlin and Lyndsey sat on the bed nearest the window and Jamie sat on the floor near the bathroom door and went in the bathroom at one point with Dave to check out a noise heard.

Apart from Jamie/Dave moving everyone remained in those places for the vigil give or take changing positions slightly.

The group positioned themselves in those places and made themselves comfy and for the first 10 minutes got used to the 'feel' and noises of the room etc.

Lyndsey saw an amber/red flash she said was like a match being struck in the corner where the trigger object was. On checking there was nothing the group could find that could have caused what she saw. Lyndsey got the name 'Angie', she felt emotional, and got the name 'Bernadette', who had lost her husband at sea.

Dave felt a warmth go up his back, from the base of his spine upwards through his body, leaving his hands tingly. He saw a white/yellow pinprick of light in the same trigger object corner Lyndsey had seen a light in. He said it looked like burning magnesium.
Jamie measures the temperature of Daves back and hands using his laser thermometer but nothing unusual was to note in the readings.

A 'noise' like a bang or knock was heard in the bathroom by all. Claire at first thought it was the group in the next room, but the others said it came from the bathroom for definite. Jamie and Dave checked the bathroom out but the noise wasn't heard again and no cause was found for the noise. Claire said when they switched locations she'd go in the room next door whilst they remained in there and try and recreate the noise, but she forgot to do this at the end of the vigil - slacker!!!

Claire called out for any energy present to make itself be known by making a noise, a few small noises were heard but this was probably Claires plastic carrier moving slightly. Then the coat hangers hung up moved slightly, and on checking under torchlight it appeared they were moving slightly, not all but a few at the end. Claire had been the only person sat near this and she hadn't moved at all during the 10 minutes previous to it, Claire and some of the guests called out and asked if it was a spirit moving them for it to move them some more, and it they did move slightly more, only the first few nearest to the wall. Other requests for them to be moved 'on demand' failed. They had seemed to be 'vibrating' almost when moving. Walking near them on the floor did not cause them to move in this way. Claire meant to jump and walk around in the room and bathroom next door to see if this caused the same effects at the end but again, was slack and forgot to do so!

Linda felt nothing unusual in this location, she felt the room was 'comfy'.

Gillian said her head was touched twice.

Caitlin said she felt nothing unusual and just felt 'fine'.

Group 3

NGIers - Carol

Guests - various

A couple of the guests had a go at using the pendulum. A couple of the guests experienced a "pulling" sensation with the pendulum but others didn't. Slight bangs were heard by some of the guests. Footsteps were heard outside the bedroom door at one point in the evening, on the landing. Carol (NGI) looked outside but there was no one, or thing present. A Human Pendulum was performed by just 1 of the guests (Sharon). Sharon commented that she felt a "swaying motion" and that she had the urge to "fall forwards". However, she also said that this could have been put down to her being quite tired at the time.
