Ghost Hunt at The Skirrid Inn
THE BEST NIGHT EVER! Chris , Mel and Pam were absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for your guidance and sharing the space with us.
The walk to the grave yard to find Fanny Price. - Rhiannon and I could smell I very strong floral scent when entering the graveyard.
The Ouija board in room 3. We were joined by a male spirit who had lived and worked in the Skirrid Inn before it was a pub along with his wife and children. (I can give names and dates if required but I won't mention for now in case I spoil it for others). He said he was buried in an unmarked grave in the local graveyard.
On our 2nd Ouija board, we met a young music fan, male spirit from more recent times. He was fun.
The table tipping. Where do I start? We met 3 of the children of the Man from our 1st Ouija board session. The children were very active, the table spun and moved so much that we often only had 1 finger on the table and sometimes our limbs got tangled like we were playing a game of twister. One child told us where they were buried and wanted to show us by making the table make a break for the doorway. Needless to say we couldn't all fit through the doorway at the same time but the table kept walking regardless, Mel in tow, chasing after us
To the lady (guest) who joined us on our wild table where you received your personal and beautiful message, it was our absolute honour to hold that space for you to receive your message.
On to our glass-moving experience. We were in the bathroom of bedroom 2. We were met with a very angry young man who shared his crimes with us. He took a disliking to Rhiannon and I, standing very close behind me, putting pressure around our necks and giving us sharp pain across our shoulder blades on our back. The pain he showed us was in line with the crimes he committed which he said he was unrepentant for. I had a voice clip recording in the background which was resting on the side of the bath. We asked the male if he does anything to women who lay in the bath and he confirmed that he does. He hated most women so it makes sense.
This morning, we listened to the voice recordings and can hear a whispery male voice say something when we ask him to touch Rhiannon's hand. We can hear the same male voice respond to the question "did you live here" and he clearly says "noooooooo".
Sitting in bedroom 2 with all guests, Pam and Mel, I spoke some Welsh to the spirits, wishing them a good evening, welcoming them and asking how they are. A few gadgets that were already active increased activity around us.
I volunteered to sit in the bath in the bathroom where our male spirit had communicated with us and told us about his crimes, I could still feel him there. My hands went icy cold and I felt a pressure on my chest as though I was being pushed down. One thing I didn't say because I thought it would be silly (how could it be silly when I've just been shouting at a table?) is, I felt like I was in a bath full of water (there wasn't any water in it).
It truly was a fantastic night, we felt safe the entire time and we had plenty of energy to give which gave us some really good experiences.
Thank you - Diolch yn fawr iawn.
