EXCLUSIVE KIPLIN HALL - Saturday 29th June 2024
Kiplin Hall 29/6/24
We commenced the night in the Library. Upon calling out the group closest to the stained glass window they shared they felt a male presence. The group at the other end of the room stated they could she shadows moving quickly around the stained glass window area but all guests were standing still. A guest picked up that the male was tall, slim, dark hair and with a waistcoat and was looking at a pocket watch, that he was anxious and waiting for something.
Guests reported feeling temperature changes and the room became a dense black. We heard some taps but could be certain that this wasn't environmental noise. A lady near the stained glass window shared she had been touched on the leg and later in the session the same lady felt a breath on her face.
The names George, …., and Annabelle were given, we called out but received no responses. The room was comfortable and quiet.
Following the break we split into smaller groups:
Claire and Sonia 1st floor rooms
Claire, Ouija board, cat balls and Guests own K2. War bathroom.
Several guests wanted to use the board hence we went to the bathroom. The first couple in the board received no interaction. The second couple got a weak response from a man who wasn't pleased we were there, but was happy to answer questions. We asked him to show us his name but he found it tricky and we got the letters “Thevs”. The male then took the planchette to ‘goodbye’. We thanked him and closed the board.
Claire, small group in the servants corridor, cat balls and Guests own K2.
We set up a line of equipment and stood in the dark. We could hear movement and taps coming from the war room, knowing we had left this area with no one we continued with questions. A guest bravely went to stand at the end near the bathroom. Again we heard taps and scratches from this area. We smelt perfume and bread dough. We felt temperature changes and as though energy was still moving through the corridor still. Two more guests went to the bathroom at the end of the corridor and one in the middle of the equipment. All of a sudden a loud bang was heard in the war room making everyone jump (and swear!) There was no one in the room. As we were wrapping up a guest saw lights at the opposite end of the corridor and with this a guest reported being touched on her back.
Sonya starting off in the War room with a small group.
Rem pod bookcase
K2 table with newspapers on the table
Cat ball on grey coat
Small group settled in and calling out to spirit of a male previously made themselves present on other visits.
There was no activity on the equipment so Sonya opened the VOX spirit box app.
There were a few replies from possibly the male who did not want us there or did not wish to engage us.
He was upset and when asked if he was in the forces the word ' spirit' came through 2 times.
The area felt quiet so we moved to the room adjacent and continued to call out again with the rem pod box on a cupboard, k2 on table and a cat ball on a sideboard - no activity.
Sonya’s group, Green Bedroom.
K2 on the bed
Cat ball on the chest of drawers
Sonya stayed with a small group using the Ouija board.
We had small/ weak interaction / movement on the Ouija board. It was felt that this was a female who was unsure why we were in her room. letters S or F were indicated and when asked if these were important the spirit advised yes.
When asked if this was their name- the planchet returned to S and No on questions about a name etc board was closed.
Guest had brought her crystal and this was used more effectively for 'yes/ no' answers specifically to the female.
She confirmed she was a lady of the house and that there was a painting/ picture of her somewhere.
She confirmed this was her bedroom and that she wanted to go to sleep, when asked if we should leave she replied yes , which we agreed.
We moved to the admirals room. k2 on the desk and cat ball on a chair.
Guests who had brought their crystal which was used to ask yes and no questions.
In here we felt that there was an older gentleman who was pleased we expressed and interest in the room, his desk and the paintings/artefacts about the Navy in the room including those for Nelson.
We asked about the hat on the trunk and the furniture which spirit felt was not quite correct as he would have remembered it and that the hat on the trunk was not his.
our guest had knowledge of the Navy, and its traditions to the gentleman - the guest ensured he was correctly addressed and knew about the use of the 'ladies gentlemen and officers of the navy' and why this was important which the gentleman appreciated.
We moved into the hallway and re-joined with the other guests from Claire.
Sonya, with a small group in the Library.
K2 x 3 on the piano, table and chair And Ouija board.
Initially the board was opened and 2 guests beside the fireplace were able to get some small movements but no specific answers so the board was closed.
We moved to the back of the library where there had been shadows and taps earlier in the evening during the full group gathering in the bay window area.
one guest was standing near me to the left side bay window and another guest opposite me at the table and away from the window beside the large Ming vase )
Questions about a male, older male and if they were present ? We had again small taps to the right corner of the window in response.
When we asked if they could give us a tap/ make a sound to indicate where they were and if they were happy to answer our questions, we had a loud crack/ bang - to the for right corner - in the corner other side of the Ming vase in the bay window area - loud enough to make us all jump.
The table felt as though it was being pulled with magnets towards a guest. This guest reported someone was standing behind her and her left arm and hand felt cold and heavy. We got the smell of bread dough again, the table felt like it was about to do something, then we heard footsteps at the door enough for us to jump and look up as though someone was coming in. But all activity stopped, I wonder what made the spirit leave?
After a short break we made our way to the top floor.
Claire with a small group in the nursery. Ping pong balls, music box and spirit talking app.
We began rolling the ping pong balls on the floor asking the children to come and play by moving the balls. We got little interaction from the balls or the spirit talking app. But, when a guest asked the name of the spirit the name winifred was given immediately. The app gave the name Bert and suggested we use the camera, photos were taken but no anomaly was captured. We could hear clicks and noises from behind the curtain and a room which was locked. The app then suggested that we were talking to the children's protector. The activity slowed hence we moved to the main corridor.
Sonya, with a small group in the room opposite the nursery.
K2 and Cat ball on carpet.
Calling out in the room did not get any interaction so we moved to the room with the ship 'Dove'
On the way along the corridor a guest holding the K2 noted intermittent spikes on the K2.
When in the room again this was quiet so we moved into the corridor near the nursery and placed. The K2 on the chair - Once settled we asked questions about the chair and specifically the picture of the girl behind the chair.
We got responses to this as we asked if they know about the picture and the letter she is holding.
The person who sat in the chair responded to questions about moving the chair away from the picture ?unhappy but also responded that they knew the person in the portrait.
Claire's group from the nursery came out and we continued to ask questions only this time we asked about children playing and as the group were discussing seeing shadows or full body apparitions - the k2 responded to the conversation - So we discovered that they liked playing in the corridor, that there was armoury/ swords on the wall and that they liked swords and wanted to play or play with the swords.
We moved back into the nursery and some guests wished to sit in the corridor quietly so we left the K2 on the chair.
Claire and Sonya
Nursery
Cat ball chair with guitar
Lantern child's table
K2 on desk
Calling out to the room and specifically the children who would have been in here.
We asked if they liked to play or run the nanny ragged!
We eventually got a very specific response via the k2 which was flashing to questions about children in the room.
When asked how many people were here ( meaning children) the k2 flashed over the minute 8 times.
A guest pointed out there was in fact 7 of us and the child- 8
Sadly this was time up - although a quiet night overall in most of the room we said thank you when we left each area
Kiplin Hall report
Abbey & Alan’s group
Top floor corridor
Senses, cat balls, touch bear, flashy ball, Wendy, Robs music box, speaker and phone.
The guests spread out along the corridor and one guest went into the Servants Room (opposite the nursery) for a lone vigil. Alan had a brief chat with the guests on opening their senses and vocalising how they were feeling. Once everyone was settled we started calling out. Guests could sense a spirit walking up and down the corridor. There were slight noises heard however these could have been the building. The guest who was in the small room came out quickly after about a minute and was in a heightened state. He said he wasn't going back in there alone as there was a loud bang in front of him which scared him. He said it sounded like somebody stamping their foot on the floor and this completely freaked him out. Another male guest then took his place in that room for a loan vigil. The music box near the door went off several times but none of the other equipment went off, though Wendy doll did flicker a couple of times but not responding to anything particular. We decided to set up an SP7 spirit app through an external speaker. There were plenty of disjointed words coming through but none seem to make sense, when we asked for a name, the name Drew came through. Spirit responded to some questions by saying yes and no and that they were angry. One guest sensed that the angry spirit was telling him that Alan should shut up and stop asking questions.
Servants Room
When we entered the room, the guest who was doing a loan vigil had spent approximately 25 minutes in there and reported that there appeared to be a vibration on or around his chair. He stated there were no noises but he could sense spirit was standing next to him in the room. Several guests sat in the chairs, the lady who was sat with Wendy doll felt uneasy. Wendy lit up several times and there was a sense of a male spirit in the room. One guest said she felt nauseous and another two said they felt a breath on their face. Although the room was extremely dark and very still nothing of note came from calling out. We then conducted a human pendulum experiment but unfortunately spirit was not a willing participant. Three guests stayed in the room with Alan while the others went to the nursery with Abbey. One guest who was using a walking crutch was sat with his partner in a window alcove. He sensed that the spirit was called John and that he had a particular reputation for taking advantage of both male and female servants. In the darkness, his walking stick was pulled from him and thrown to the floor. He got the impression that the man was angry so we didn't want to push this any further and left the room.
Nursery
Cat balls, Rob's music boxes
Abbey began calling out to spirits, there were children present with us. They liked manipulating one of the music boxes which kept going off when questions were asked. One of the cat balls also lit up but not in sync with the music box. The group tried periods of calling out and also times when they were quiet to allow their senses to open up and for responses to be heard but there were no further bits of activity noted. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful so we decided it was time for a break.
Ship room
Dowsing rods
Two guests used dowsing rods in this room but got no activity of note.
First floor
War room
OUIJA board, cat balls, Rem bear
Guests spread out around the room with two male guests in the adjoining bathroom behind each door. A guests rem teddy bear was placed on a metal cabinet against a wall. There was an initial noise from the bathroom but the guest couldn't pin down where the noise came from. A guest sensed a military man/soldier pacing up and down but could not figure out why. After a period of calling out there were no responses and none of the electrical equipment had been triggered so we decided to try a Ouija board session. Three guests took part using the board and a shot glass. After initial encouragement, the glass began to move slowly but kept going into the bottom left-hand corner towards the male guest. When we asked for a name, the letters P, 2, X, H, E, X came through. This made absolutely no sense and we discussed if it was a foreign name, possibly a Polish pilot or if this was some kind of serial number. One of the guests sensed a man in a Royal Air Force uniform with one wing on the shoulder, which signified he would’ve been ground crew. Spirit did not seem to want to communicate and we tried various methods to get him to come forward to no avail. We decided to leave the room and go into the adjoining bedroom. The guest who had brought the rem bear had left it in the room and as soon as we left, the bear was triggered and the door was pushed shut behind us. This surprised everybody as it had been so quiet in the previous minutes.
Bridget's bedroom
Cat balls, k2, music box, crystal pendulum
We spent a little bit of time in this room. It was decided to use the pendulum and board which a guest had. Spirit identified as Bridget came through and answered several questions with yes and no responses. The guest attempted to get some dates from Bridget but sometimes the numbers were not certain. The dates that came through were: born in 1911/12 but this wasn’t very clear as spirit seemed weak. Spirit said that sometimes she didn’t like people in her room. She said she was aware of a nasty male spirit who she didn’t like and spent a lot of time in the building watching over people, because of him
No activity was recorded in the other rooms on the floor.
Ground floor
Library
Alan took a group of four guests in the room. Initially, Alan was with one guest as he was showing her the dining room when there was a shuffling noise from the far end of the library, which they both heard. Nobody else was in the library so we brought her other three group members in to join us. We stood at the entrance of the library as Alan and the original guest who was with him sensed that spirit did not want us to come into the library main space. As we stood next to the big mirror at the entrance, Alan and a guest sensed a man standing in the far left hand corner. We used no equipment, just our senses, and as soon as we asked if he wanted us to remain where we were, a rolling darkness slowly came towards us from the far end of the room. Even though the library was dark, everybody stated that it was getting absolutely pitch black and the closer it came towards us, the darker the room got. This was such a pity as we had run out of time and it was time to get the guests together and send them on their way home.
A quiet night was had at Kiplin Hall. Thank you to all of the guests who made the journey. Hopefully next time spirits will want to communicate but tonight was not the night.
