George and Pilgrim Pub, England Feb 11th 2005
The investigation at the George and Pilgrim hotel began at 10.00pm on Friday the 11th of February; the evening began with a brief history of the location and the surrounding areas and a walk around the grounds to get acquainted with the areas. Martin Jeffery’s took our group around the 14th century hotel and took us into each of the eight bedrooms in this two storey hotel telling us about each room in turn and what had happened in these rooms on previous ghost hunts. We also learnt what guests who had been staying at the hotel had seen and heard in these rooms.
One of the bedrooms called the Monk’s Abbey has had it’s fair share of activity on previous investigations, people were hearing the sound of water running in the bathroom when their had been no-one around but them, the only way into the bathroom would have been to go past them, once they entered the bathroom to check where the water was coming from they all saw a blue face floating which had caused the whole group to scream and many people did not want to go back in to this room again after that. Activity was being picked up in this room again on our ghost hunt and it had a very dark oppressive feel to it, although like all the other rooms it had a window in it with a street light on outside it was unbelievable dark and it did not feel right. After the walk around we were split up into two groups and went to do a vigil in one of the bedrooms, one group went with Martin and the others went with another Martin who was the psychic medium for the evening.
Group one, our group went into the Monk’s abbey first and heard lots of knocking on request, we asked three times if there was anyone there and every time a bang was heard from above us. The creepy thing is that there is nothing above that room but the roof as the Monk’s abbey is on the second floor.
We later conducted a séance in the same room and heard water running in the bathroom quite rapidly and after about a minute it stopped as quick as it had started, when someone went and checked the bathroom there was no sign that any water had been in there and everywhere was dry.
Our group later in the same room again took it in turns for someone to either sit or stand by the doorway of the bathroom many people did not feel anything but one girl felt very uneasy and she felt like she was being pushed and pulled by someone, at one point she almost fell over.
Both Martin the group organiser and Martin the medium picked up on a man they referred to as ‘The Judge’ who haunted the building, he was thought to be a very powerful, evil man who in his day used to burn witches at the stake and torture people.

Myself and another girl in the other group later on in the King Arthur bedroom contacted a spirit called James (who the medium had picked up on earlier) using a upturned tea cup, we asked questions and found out that there was an evil presence in the room we were in (that they had picked up on earlier) who had killed himself in that bedroom after murdering a woman and her sister in a revenge killing, apparently this man had a business partner who ended up conning him out of lots of money so he killed his wife and her sister out of revenge.
Martin Jeffery’s confirmed this was true and both Martin and the rest of the group including myself were astounded that we had found this information out.
A door was heard banging from the inside as if someone was kicking it, the door was locked at the time but upon investigation there was nothing in the room but the banging’s had been witnessed by several people (myself and my friend included) and caught on tape, on a later attempt to contact spirits a group contacted the spirit of a lady called Emily who said that she was the one who had been banging on the door in the room ‘the confessional’ and that she wanted to be let out, the group were beginning to feel uncomfortable with this entity and believed it to be something that it was not.
The evening ending and both our two groups got back together in the great hall to discuss the events of the evening and to tell of our findings.
Both groups had had very interesting and active nights both picking up on noises and catching Orbs on their cameras/camcorders, the experiments each group did were equally successful, group one had contacted the spirit of a man and found out lots of information from him, they also contacted the spirit of a man through the use of Pendulum Dowsing which is where you have a crystal on a chain you hold in mid air and ask questions, the Pendulum will move accordingly to whichever is the way for yes and the way for no.
Group two had contacted a number of spirits using the technique of table tipping which is where you stand or sit around a table and place your fingers on the edge and ask questions, the table in response to these questions should move and it did.
Experiments had been set up during the evening in a locked bedroom but unfortunately nothing was recorded or picked up on the camera except for a few sound changes when the banging had been heard earlier on in the evening coming from ‘the confessional’.
