We all opened a sacred circle in the area outside the far back room downstairs in Warwick
Lane. Mary, the witch, came through and said we had spoken to her before. She said she
was with her sisters and that one was called Margaret. At the same time, the voice box said
‘Back stabbing liars’. Margaret had killed the familiar which was a cat. We asked if it was a
black cat and the voice box said, ‘It would be’, and at the same time all the lights on our
torches started flickering. We asked if any spirits were attached to anyone in the circle and
the voice box said, ‘Here we go!’ We asked if any spirits meant us harm and the voice box
said, ‘Yes, it’s Mary’. We asked if Mary minded us being in the building and she answered,
yes. At the same time the voice box said, ‘I’ve stayed here for years’. Mary told us she had
once lived in a house that stood on the land where Warwick Lane Shopping Centre now
stands, and she had died in the house. We told her we meant her no harm and the voice
box said, ‘Very strange’. The first person in the centre of the circle was holding a cat ball in
their hand, and although their hand remained perfectly still, the cat ball kept going off in
unison to any questions that were being answered. We asked Mary if it was her making the
cat ball go off and she answered, yes. At the same time, the voice box said, ‘It’s a ball’. A
couple of people in the circle started to get headaches and the person in the centre started
to feel very unwell so had to leave the circle. We had been doing the circle for roughly eight
to ten minutes, and as the person left the circle, the voice box said, ‘ That took about eight
minutes.’ The person with the voice box said they could hear laughing in their ear and Mary
confirmed that was her laughing and that she was stopping anyone else from
communicating with us.
A second person went in the middle of the circle and a male spirit managed to come
through. The spirit kept pushing the centre person sideways as if they were trying to get
the person outside the circle, which we didn’t allow that to happen. The name Be-Lau
(rhymes with ‘now’) Chavvers came through and said this was a French person, aged
twenty six. Note: the name, Belau is commonly a female name from the Italian origin that
means ‘beautiful’. It is the short form of Isabella, dedicated to God. The male spirit told us
that the person now in the centre of the circle reminded him of Belau and at the same
time the voice box said, ‘the devil’s watching’. We immediately closed the circle.
We all moved into the back room downstairs and stood at the entrance where we opened
another circle. The SLS camera picked up a stick person crawling up one of the cabinets,
and at the same time, the voice box said, ‘Is there any cash’. We asked the spirit if they had
been a thief in the last ten years and the voice box answered, ‘Yes. It’s a big game. Sixteen’.
The spirit told us they were aged sixteen when they had died and they had been in a
detention centre. One of the team members had once worked as a prison warden and the
spirit told us they didn’t like that particular team member. At the same time, the voice box
said the team member’s name followed by a growling noise. We asked if the spirit had been
in a police centre and if they had died in there. The voice box said, ‘Yes, fumes. Cold
blooded’. One team member felt something on their back and a stick person was briefly
seen through the SLS camera sitting on their back. The names Joey and Adam came
through but we couldn’t make any connection with them. One team member started
swaying and the voice box said that team member’s name followed by, ‘Well done. Deal
with it’. We ended the session and had a break.
After the break, we spilt into two teams – A & B. Team A went across the road to the Manor
House and into the cellar. The Ouija board was opened and at the same time, the voice box
kept calling out welcoming words. A personal acquaintance of one team member came
through who had recently passed and a number of questions about this person and their
spouse were answered correctly. At the same time the voice box said, ‘We are here’.
Another spirit came on the board and started to spell ‘Harry’ when we asked their name,
and the voice box said, ‘Harry’. After a short while of communicating with Harry on the
board, we asked if the spirit was still here and the voice box said, ‘Yes, I’m here. What they
are offering is true.’ The voice box then mentioned one of the team member’s names
followed by, ‘Will…..something intelligible…..then’. Next, Lettuce Toby came through and told
us they were born in 1469 and died in 1495. At the same time, the voice box said, ‘It’s a
witch’. Lettuce told us that King John was on the throne when she was alive. Note: King
John was on the throne in Portugal from 1455 – 1495. Next, Edward came through and
started calling people on the board rude names. He said he didn’t want one particular team
member to go on the Ouija board and we asked what he was going to do about it. The
words ‘Go Away’ were spelt out and at the same time the voice box said, ‘A bit dim’.
Another spirit came on the board who had something to do with one team member, and
many questions were answered correctly. We were asking lots of questions relating to what
sort of person this was and the voice box said, ‘A good soul, then started laughing’.
Meanwhile, Team B were in the end room downstairs at Warwick Lane Shopping Centre.
There was an American Army helmet on top of one cabinet and a stick man was seen on
the SLS camera touching the helmet. The team asked if the helmet had belonged to the
stick man, and if it did could the stick man wave to them. Immediately, the stick man started
to wave. Two team members felt someone on their arm and shoulder making them feel
heavy. At the same time, stick figures were seen on the SLS camera, one on the team
member’s arm and one on the other team member’s shoulder. Team B opened the Ouija
board and lots of family members came through who were able to answer questions. All
team members were experiencing bouts of being either extremely cold or extremely hot.
One team member could feel the air was very cold on the palm of their hand, yet the top of
their hand was warm. A small stick figure was seen on the SLS camera standing right
beside the team member. The group asked the stick person to make a noise, and through
the voice box, noises of a child were heard talking followed by childish laughter. A taller
stick figure was seen hovering near a team member and the team member reached out
towards it. They said the air felt incredibly cold where the stick person was standing.
Both teams went on another break and afterwards, Team A went into the back room
downstairs and opened the Ouija board. The name Adam came through aged 16 and said
they had spoken to us earlier. He said he had died in 1946. He knew the team member who
used to be a prison warden and confirmed he used to follow the team member around at
night when they were on duty at a local prison. At the same time, the voice box said,
‘Footsteps in the dark. You didn’t like the dark, did you ….. the team members name was
mentioned’. The name, Tom Brett or Brent, came through on the voice box and the Ouija
board started to spell ‘Brent’. The name Tom Adam Brent was spelt out and the spirit
confirmed his name was Tom but he was known as Adam. At the same time, the voice box
said. ‘I hear you. I’m amongst them’. Adam said he was born in 1929 and had been
disowned by his family after he got arrested. The voice box mentioned the ex prison
warden’s name again, followed by ‘say we are one’. Adam confirmed on the board that he
had been a homosexual and had been killed by inmates. The voice box mentioned the ex
prison warden’s name yet again followed by ‘Prison. Locked up’. A new spirit came on the
board and spelt, on request, the name ‘Georgina’. The voice box said, ‘That was easy
then’. The team asked if we should give them a harder task and the voice box said, ‘We’ll
give it a go’. The name Georgina Kodston was spelt, followed by she was born in 1937 and
in 1945 (aged 8) played at being the manageress of the store which once stood where the
shopping centre now. She said she got married to a Warwick and his first name started
with B, but she didn’t want to give us the rest of his name. She said her husband was an
alcoholic and the voice box said, ‘Suffer drink’. Georgina eventually told us her husband
had been called William but everyone knew him as Bill. She was aged 19 when she died,
but admitted to faking her own death so she could escape from Bill. The voice box said,
‘Bill’s not allowed’. Georgina asked to be released so we helped her move towards the light
with prayers. Afterwards, Bill came on the board and was extremely angry that Georgina
had gone. The voice box said, ‘Bill, can you see me’. One team member got called a rude
name because they reminded Bill of Georgina.
Meanwhile, Team B had gone across the road into the cellar at the Manor House. They
tried calling out but got no responses apart from a few tapping noises. The Ouija board
was opened but very little came through. It did spell out, ‘three stick figures’ followed by the
name ‘Chas’ but it didn’t mean anything when questions were asked. On the SLS camera
one stick man was seen leaning against the pillar and pointing towards the stairs. The
team asked the stick figure to wave and it did. Another stick figure was seen next to the
racks of wine bottles and it looked as if it was trying to grab the bottles. Two stick figures
were captured on camera standing side by side near the shelving.
Everyone had another break and afterwards the teams split up to do their own table
tipping. Team B were upstairs in Warwick Lane and had several successful tips. Team A
went downstairs near to the back room, and Bill came on the table. He was very, very angry
and three times tried to topple the table into the back room where we had been talking to
him earlier. Later on Team A opened the Ouija board upstairs next to the cafe area and Bill
kept coming through. He was extremely angry all the time and would not let anyone else
speak to us.
