Another team visiting our favourite location, All Saints Church in Santon ..
We did an all nighter here about a week ago, my third visit but our team's 5th to All Saints .. this church is a hotbed of weirdness, we'll be having another video up on youtube hopefully within a month.
Phenomena we've experienced and or recorded so far include: 3 bars of pipe music heard by three of us live, whispering, growling and swearing live and recorded, the church door latch lifting itself up, cameras switching themselves off with buttons physically depressed, fresh camera and torch batteries draining too quickly, smell of lavender and on a different night strong smell of alcohol, sudden temperature drops, sudden energy and or mood drops with investigators, feelings of anger, headaches and nausea coming and going, feeling of being touched, possible sightings of shadow figure in church and at the window, SLS figures and spirit box voice recordings and still image anomalies.
One of our team members announced that he'd heard a male voice telling him he was a "candle waster" .. none of us had heard that insult before either at the church or otherwise so I looked it up when I got back home:

Eddie Mallet is a great story teller, there's no denying that so we were a bit nervous when we learned he wouldn't be joining us last week at the church. Had he been hyping us all up so far to make us more suggestable?. We'd never up to that point been there without him but the night was just as active without him. I'm convinced the place is haunted.
