We were informed through Annabel that the ghost's name was 'George'. We then asked George to move objects, or create any noise so that we would know he was there. The results were quite creepy. Emma, one of our team said that she heard a groan just to the side of her. Katherine investigated this area, and got a temperature reading a whole degree less than anywhere else in the room.
We thanked the ghost and asked for more activity, once again one of the other members of the team told us that they had just felt a small tug around their hip/leg area. Annabel claimed that this was indeed George playing around and that, in his childlike state of mind, was laughing at making us all jump!
The ghost of George continued with his games on touching, making small, soft bumps and whispering noises in peoples ears, but we wanted more, so we asked ghost if he could throw one of the children of the house' toys at us. We got nothing in return. With the night wearing on I decided to call it a day. Annabel wanted to help George move on and this was something she preferred to do alone.
As we were leaving the room, we suddenly heard small thumping on one of the walls. Turning around, we found a small cuddly toy on the floor. Knowing that this could only be the work of the ghost, we re-entered and asked him to do the same thing again. Annabel asked if the ghost wanted us to go. He didn't, which got some the female members of the team aahing. I asked Annabel to tell him that we wouldn't leave if he would throw another cuddly toy on the floor for us.
HEY PRESTO! We heard another small bump from another corner of the room. Once again a toy was lying on the ground. As we investigated this certain act we heard repeated bumps from the area of the toy.
We all agreed that as dawn approached it was time for us to leave the house and move on. Annabel stayed to help the spirit to the other side, which a lot of us questioned whether he would actually want to go. But as Ann left the house with a big smile on her face and the mother of the household giving her a hug goodbye, we knew that Annabel had been successful in helping George move on.
Dr. Katherine Copeland, although a cynic, agreed that some of the activity that had taken place had been extremely interesting. She was interested especially in the stories of supposed ectoplasm, and was a little disappointed to have left without any proof.
Me? I felt it was an interesting night, and the fact that toys were thrown when we asked for them, well, fascinating. All in all, a good nights work for the team.
