Back again
to one of my favourite places – Ballinacarriga Castle. I’m sure that this
castle is haunted but more investigations are always welcome as there is so
much in the paranormal world that we simply do not understand.
This visit
was with a production company from France who wanted to film the investigation.
We set up
the equipment and went up the stairs to the top floor. On the way up I stumbled
and something grabbed my elbow and steadied me. I thought I had brushed against
the wall but when I swung my torch around I realised that the wall was not near
enough to me and the only way I could touch it with my elbow was to lean
sideways and stick my elbow right out.
Almost
immediately one of the other investigators, a few steps above me, called out
that he was getting K11 hits.
The upper
floor is open to the elements and the evening was damp. We huddled together in the
old fireplace and waited for the drizzle to ease up. Finally, I moved out into
the room and stood with my back to a window which looked into a smaller room to
the side.
One of the
investigators called out that she had seen something run across the floor while
filming but despite there still being a little daylight left, none of the rest
of us saw anything.
At almost
the same time I heard shuffling movements in the room behind me and called out
that we had a visitor.
All three
of our K11 meters showed activity throughout this part of the investigation.
The change in EMF seemed to be going around the room as each meter lit up at
different times.
We moved to
a lower floor and immediately got K11 hits. I was photographed in a corridor
but did not appear in the first picture despite being in plain view. A second picture
taken seconds later showed me standing against the wall. Later, when the first
picture was enhanced, I appeared once again in the corridor.
The French
camera man saw a shadow or shape and thought he caught it on film. Unfortunately,
we are still awaiting confirmation of this.
A friend of
mine had asked me to pass on a message to his ancestors the next time I came to
the castle. I called out his name and said he just wanted to say hello. I felt
a cool breeze on one hand and had a strong feeling that someone was standing
beside me. My K11 meter showed activity
so I chatted away for a few minutes about my friend and asked if anyone would
like to send him a message back. I didn’t get a reply but my K11 meter
continued to light up for quite some time.
We moved
out onto the stairs and immediately could hear footsteps or movements around
us. All the K11s were active.
Eventually
we moved to the ground floor but although I had a strong feeling that we were
being watched apart from a couple of further K11 hits we did not have any
further activity.
