A Different Part of Town

Weeping Cross Lane... an odd title for a road don't you think? Well, as you may have guessed, it does have roots in history...

"The name of the "Weeping Cross," yet retained by this land mark, serves to preserve the traditionary record of a Cross, and indicates the probability that not far distant from it, there may in ancient times have been a monkish cell or anchoritage. 

It is generally believed that the Ackwynfan, or stone of lamentation, was peculiar to the ancient Britons, and erected by them sometime previous to the mission of St. Augustine. Erections of this denomination consisted of one solid stone upwards of twelve feet high, with a rounded head, on which was the figure of a cross ornamented with singular sculptures.

Beside these sacred pillars the weeping penitent was conducted to confess his sins to the officiating priest."

Spirits talk through Echovox again!

I finished work at 12, went home for a cuppa and then went out back to the site of the old Cattle Market for another EVP session.

I recently purchased the P-SB7 and I've been wanting to try it out in the field for a couple of days, but with working and all that, it was pretty impossible.

I took it down to Tesco last night but unfortunately, I didn't get anything worthy of note. I did however conduct an echovox session with some impressive results!

As ever, let me know your thoughts.

EVP Echovox: Old Livestock Market, Ludlow.

The second time we went out to the site of the old cattle market, we come back with more interesting EVP's. This time they aren't as vicious as the last time, they do seem to be getting stronger and more interestingly they seem to want to communicate more...

This is not 'everything' we got from the session, but this is the best/most audible EVP's that came through from the session. I suppose you would call these Class-A's. I have a lot of Class-B + Class-C responses, but as we were in a busy carpark and public area, then I couldn't rule out outside contamination.

As always, very interested in your thoughts and feel free to share!

*Just to say, this is a new style of videos that I will be uploading, the vocal narration rather than text seems easier to understand. Please leave your thoughts on the subject!

Spirit Box Sb7 Session 1

I ordered a Spirit box (P SB7) from the USA, unfortunately they don't have them already made over here in England. I've never actually used one before, however I have seen them being used and have always wanted to have a go myself. Therefore I got one!

I had left the box running for about half an hour before I shot the video, this was to give any spirits in the area time to come over, take a look and learn how to use it to speak through.

In my personal opinion, if spirits are deceased people, then it only stands to reason that they would need some time to have a look and a play around with new equipment to see how it works. I know I have to take some time to see how it works, so why should they need some time also?

Anyway, I started the recording and tried listening for voices, I asked a couple of questions during the session and here are my results.

Ludlow Castle Echovox EVP Session #1

Ludlow Castle has always had a history of being haunted, and while there have been a few paranormal investigations done in the Castle grounds, I do not believe that there has been any investigations performed outside Ludlow castle on the embankments.

We went out at 6:30pm the other night to do a Echovox session around the outside of the Castle (by the way, it's a lovely walk during the day).

We had some surprising results. There seemed to be many, many spirits with intelligence trying to talk to us, sometimes all at once. Perhaps they were a little excited to be able to finally have a chance to talk?

We gathered some amazing EVP responses to our questions and while we did feel as if we were being watched, we didn't actually see anything. Perhaps we need to invest in a night vision camcorder?

The whole session took 17 minutes but we have only put class-A EVP's into the video, as there was simply too many voices coming through all at once.

Session Title: Ludlow Castle #1

Location: Ludlow Castle, SY8.

Time/Date: 18:30 - 18:48 ~ 06/11/13

Investigators: Michelle Jones, Adam Silman

Equipment: S3, Echovox, Small LED torch.

Pissed off Spirit. Echovox EVP

Ok, as I don't have a lot of time to conduct research into the paranormal, I have to get an investigation in, and where I can.

I went out for the weekly food shop last night to Tesco's which just so happens to be built right on top of an old cattle market that had been around since the town of Ludlow was founded.

I thought,"What better place to do a short session", plus I still had half an hour on the carpark ticket.

As I was asking questions, there were people and cars passing by so the audio wasn't perfectly clean. I only had two class-A EVPs from this and both are a little disturbing.

Be aware that the second EVP calls me a pretty bad name, so if foul language offends you then don't watch.

I honestly didn't expect anything to happen, although this might be a good location to think about in the future. I will most likely go after the store closes for the day and hopefully will be able to capture some more. 

I don't know when this will happen, possibly later on this week, but for now, I'm putting it to the top of the list.

My Thoughts

Perhaps the spirits that are still there are not happy with the shop having been built?

The energy created by so many people (most stressed out from shopping) has caused residual activity? or given intelligent spirits enough energy to communicate.

It seems to me, that the older the spirit, the more energy it needs to communicate... perhaps even spirits get old and lose energy?

Let me know your thoughts...

EVP Recording : Sunday 27th October 2013.

Well this is more than a little weird... I have recently installed the echovox app on my Galaxy S3 and was testing it today. I had a little trouble with it recording to the phone but after uninstalling and reinstalling, it works fine now.

Anyway, like I said, I was just testing it out to see if it has any validation in the paranormal field. I know it was quite pricey for an app, but compared to a real spirit box, it's a bargain.

Anyway, I'm missing the point here, what I wanted to say was that I already know I have at least one spirit or ghost in this house. I have done a couple of cleansings on the house using sage smudging and tested pagan rituals for cleansing negativity which it worked, but the ritual didn't really work to get rid of all of the resident spirits.

This house has had a long history and the town called Ludlow that I live in; even longer and a lot more bloodier.

I don't have children to worry about and my other half is happy to talk to spirits as well. However I do make sure that before and after any session I open and close the doorway as best as I can, mainly as a preventative measure in case anything negative or harmful tries to come into our home.

Blessings to you and yours.
