Paranormal Investigation - Theydon Bois – Date 5/1/13 written by Louisa Sullivan
The team were called in to investigate a rather disturbing situation at a public house in Theydon Bois. The pub dates back to the late 15th Century and has a tainted history regarding a highway man. He had a reputation of being a “womaniser & robber”. He was captured and hanged for his crimes near to where the pub is situated, the precise location is not known.
The events leading up to our investigation were somewhat disturbing. The paranormal activity in the pub seems to have increased in intensity over the past year, and for no apparent reason. The pub is managed, and a string of managers have arrived and left rather speedily, and with no explanation. The last land lady and her partner had fled literally overnight. They had been experiencing paranormal activity both in the public area and the flat above. They kept an area in the pub for children’s crayons and drawing equipment and the crayons would be violently pushed off the shelf and onto the floor. Glasses would move and there was a reported feeling of being very uncomfortable in the pub. That now leads me onto the most shocking fact; the pub has no clients at all. Not one person sets foot in there, not even a local looking for a pint. On New Year’s Eve not one person went in. The pub is located in a very affluent area, surrounded by beautiful houses and forest. The question was why? Why no person would set foot in there. Upon my first visit it became clear.
I work as a medium with the rest of the team who all have different roles. I am therefore very sensitive to picking up energies, both spirit and negative energies. Upon entering the pub I experienced sensations and the air felt heavy and oppressive. This was not good; I sensed that we were dealing with something dark, in other words a negative entity. A negative entity is either a negative spirit ( a person who has passed over but still remains at the site causing disturbance, these are not usually harmful to the living, but can cause an uneasy feeling). Sometimes we leave spiritual entities, and do not always perform a clearance (that’s when we invite them over to the other side and help them pass through the light) . A negative entity or elemental may never been human. They often disguise themselves as human children to avoid detection. When a paranormal investigator visits the location of an elemental they do all they can to avoid being discovered, they will hide and change their appearance. However, a good medium trained in the paranormal will detect one usually immediately. There is usually an air of oppression and smells which are very unpleasant the negative entity will cause havoc to the person or area they are locating. They can cause objects to fly across the room and can even harm humans. This type of entity is dangerous if l not dealt with by a professional. I immediately knew we had our work cut out!
I began to interview the temporary manager; he had been there for two weeks and had not experienced any activity. However, still the clients stayed away. He has been in the pub industry and has run numerous amounts of pubs mainly in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. He moved into the pub we were investigating in November 2012 as a temporary manager and he says he is “Open minded about spiritual matters”.
I then began to walk around the pub and sensed a terribly strong sensation and smell of something rotten in the area of the pub which is around the back. I knew this needed to be dealt with, so the investigation date was booked for the New Year.
In January 2013 the team arrived for the investigation, again no clients so we began elaborate task of setting up our equipment. We generally use cameras, voice recorders and temperature gages. I invited the other members of the team to take a walk around the pub and to gage their different reactions. All members picked up on the area around the back where the smell and activity has been reported. We set up equipment centred on the areas that felt particularly affected.
The equipment being used for this investigation is slightly different than what was used in the some of our other investigations, when in a pub, the area is smaller and therefore more intricate devises can be used and experiments done to pick up activity.
We used a new piece of equipment called a “ghost grid” which will pick up a shadow and you can use a piece of software to determine the three dimensional shape, we also used a “parabolic microphone” to amplify sounds and environment metres, these pick up temperature and humidity changes.
Two hours into the investigation and we hit midnight. The team were sat in vigil (that is when we sit to contact and potentially speak to the spirit). As soon as it struck midnight we all witnessed a dark shape by the back of the pub, it had walked behind me and in front of the other members of the team and then disappeared, we had all witnessed this. I had also picked up on a wolf like entity with very coarse black hair prowling the pub. This caused alarm in one of our investigators as he recognised it as a demonic hound which is his greatest fear. These hounds tend to be more intimidating than dangerous; it is their appearance and sound which are designed to cause fear. They appear menacing, and the sound they make can be a real gut wrenching growl.
At precisely 2am, we again were sitting in vigil and one of the investigators asked whomever was there to let us know if they could hear us by moving a piece of equipment . The piece was situated on a chair in front of where we were sitting and is used to provide energy for the spirits/entities to connect with us.
Upon stating the request the piece of equipment violently flew off the chair and across the room, it hit the wall and smashed. Whatever we were dealing with did not like us there. This was a provocative gesture! The temperature dropped dramatically making us all very aware of the negative entities we were dealing with. I knew we were dealing with more than one; in fact there were several. We wanted to deal with the problem to clear and leave the pub free of the disturbances. We began to perform a clearance. A clearance of entities is far more complex than that of a spiritual clearance. There are not many people who are able to do this but we are extremely fortunate to be experienced in this particular field. This type of work is exhausting and takes its toll so we have to make sure we are in good health, both physically and mentally before performing this.
We managed to clear several of the entities and we picked up a severe one outside the pub which was located in the forest area. This was probably the leader. We could not deal with that particular one that evening but we did manage to help about seven spirit entities. We will have to come back for the one outside at a later date. That will be a separate investigation.
