Hedingham castle! what an excellent place to visit! And that is just as well as nothing remotely ghostly happened to me. It was a commercial ghost hunt, but all the attending members of the ghost club where in one group. so i was in a group with not one but TWO "sensitives" i must have been a very naughty boy in a previous life.
The first vigil we were in the basement, one of the "sensitives" started telling us about Matthew, he looked after the place, he was dressed like Shakespeare. he liked a drink. He wasn't aware of us. this went on for about 20 minutes. Then one of the group, one who isn't given to flights of fancy said he heard footsteps walk right by him, did anybody else hear them? No, nobody did because of the attention seeking "sensitive"
The second vigil was in the lodge, a gorgeous tudor gatehouse, i went to the area furthest away from the throng set up my voice recorder and waited. After a few minutes i was joined by the second "sensitive" After about 10 minutes i heard the other "sensitive" coming up the stairs. He was telling a horrible spirit to stop trying to stop him coming up the stairs. he knew he was blocking him from seeing something the spirit was ashamed of. then he was scratched. He had put protection on everybody else but forget to protect himself. The spirit was trying to scare him but he would not be scared. The sensitive in the room with me then asked if i could hear a growly voice speaking after the first "sensitive" had finished talking. i said no, i hadn't. i then switched off my voice recorder, because what's the point in having it on?
After the investigation all the "sensitives" agreed the lodge was a horrible place. i loved it, it had a warm happy vibe to it.
