Ryan and Simon took Russell for a pre-visit to St Margarets church on the 25th February we always do this before a major hunt. This is to get the feel of the place and to look at the surrounding areas so we are familiar of the landmarks around the site.So there was nothing unusual on this day we took the EMF reader and walked around the site as we were speaking to some people in the grounds the EMF reader kept picking up and going off. We tried to explain this but thought it may have been our mobile phone so we all decided to switch off and the EMF reader returned to normal so we thought this was our mobile phones.As we walked around the site the EMF reader again…

10/02/2012 – Weather conditions were very cold, no wind and clear vision. The team arrived at 11pm and the investigation started at 11:20. This was our first visit to St Nicholas Church and we had no reports of paranormal activity. This was our first time we’ve used all the equipment, but unfortunately the EVP recorder failed to work.On approach to the church, Russell felt he was being watched and followed. Around the side of the church tapping noises were heard; some were caught on the video. At the rear of the church various taps and noises were heard and at one point Simon thought he could hear footsteps in the church.A good night and well worth another visit in the warmer weather. Visit concluded at 1:30am. Please check out the video, as noises and shadows can be seen.For more of our videos check out

06/01/2012 – This was our first visit to Pitsea mount. The site is not easy to access you have to park in the road called Brackendale Avenue and then it is a five minute walk uphill through a wooded area. Conditions: Strong wind but a clear night. There is a lot of noise from the A13 main road. Once you reach the tower there are a few graves surrounding the tower. The Team walked around the tower and asked if anything was present in the tower to make a noise or show itself. Although nothing happened a strong kind of musty strange smell was evident and the whole team smelt this and it was getting stronger. Simon at one point got very cold but this visit was a little disappointing and nothing to report. The Team will return to this site later in the year.If anybody has any sightings or stories to tell please contact us with your findings.

06/01/2012 – The weather conditions were very windy. We walked around the main site before going into the castle ruins itself. Russell asked if there was anybody there, if so make themselves known. A definite tapping was heard whist we was in the main castle ruins, this was heard four times before we left the ruins. Various noises were heard within the castle ruins, such as a scream and a growl. Our conclusions couldn’t be confirmed because of the strong winds.Ryan’s mobile phone kept turning off whilst he still had 35% battery remaining. When we returned to the car his phone worked normally.However, it looks like we have snapped something on camera. Take a look below, we’re not too sure of what this is.

We have visited St. Nicholas church on four occasions. We choose this site for easy access and good viewing position of the main gates. This is where all reported activities supposedly happen. From our visits, mainly noises are heard from the church and we also witnessed a candle burning inside the church itself, which wasn’t there on arrival.We have also checked out the country road in the surrounding area, as there are numerous reports of apparitions. Unfortunately we haven’t witnessed any sightings or unusual activity on the roads.After visiting the church in the daylight we then went in search for a local pub/restaurant. We come across the

We’ve been to Borley Rectory half a dozen times now. Most nights have been clear, although a couple have been windy. On one occasion Simon would not leave the car because of the evil feelings he was getting and the shadows he was frequently seeing. This didn’t stop the rest of the team. Adam and Ryan (the fearless ones), walked in the graveyard and all around the church in the pitch black. When they got to the door of the church a loud bang was heard, this sounded like a stone hitting the metal gate.Adam in his desperation to see a ghost, walked half a mile in the pitch black up the country lane right up to the church. Although he heard things, he didn’t see anything.One every visit there has been…
