DOGHURST HOUSE
The evening started at 8pm, the
house and grounds are called Doghurst which is on the borders of Surrey
and Kent near Limpsfield.
Some parts of the house date back
to 1425, 1465 and 1600’s. There are extensive grounds with the house as
it used to be a working farm many years ago.
Our team consisted of all spiral
members but no medium which I think we could have done with as it give
you that edge (Sorry Alan… wish you were
here).There was five of us in the
group Marq, Annalisa, Sara, Kat and myself. I then introduced everyone
to the owner who said we could have the
run of the downstairs and the grounds.
We then setup the crew room in the kitchen and decided to keep ourselves
to the ground floor of the house
as not to disturb the owner who
was upstairs and spending about 30 min’s in each room.

We went for a walk in the grounds
to start of with so that the team could get their bearings. We returned
to the crew room and decided to begin
the investigation in the children’s
play room just along from the kitchen. We tried dowsing rods, EVP’s and
asking for different things but nothing
happened so we moved onto the oldest
part of the house which dates back to 1425 which is now a dining room.
I set up a locked off camera and we
all sat a large table in the centre
of the room we began calling out and taking still shots but still nothing
then we moved into the hallway entrance were
the front door now stands as it
was somewhere else originally. This room dates from 1465 and has a large
open fire place and every thing leads off of
this room as well as the stairs
to the next floor. I have always had a feeling of being watched from the
stairs but as with all the other rooms we had
nothing happen.
Following this we tried the main
sitting room which has no floor at the moment and is in a state of repair
and then we went into the grounds but nothing.
All in all the house and grounds
a very impressive but for activity it was as if some thing wanted to happen
but just couldn’t get going and with a house
of this age there should have been
more activity the only thing is that it is a private house and there has
never been an investigation there before,
so maybe the spirits were wondering
what the hell was going on as well. Our thanks to the owner of the property
and we all hope to return for
another investigation soon. We know
they are out there somewhere… |
