Rhymney hotel report
Report written by Trudy
Date; 24th July 2005
Moon Phase; Waning Gibbous
Investigators Present; Russ, Trudy, Anne, Val (G) and Rob and Val (O)
Investigation Preparation;
On the initial walk around none of the group members felt uncomfortable in any particular place, but all members felt the corridors and room 3 were the most interesting. A locked off camera was set on the top corridor outside room 10 and facing towards the fire exit door, the camera's picture on screen 'rolled' constantly, it has never been known for this to happen before and could only have been caused by interference of some sort.
Base line tests were done in this area, EMF showed 0.1 - 0.2. Temperature 18.5 - 19.5*c
Room 10; EMF 0.1 Temperature 19 - 20*c
Staircase on top floor; EMF 0.1 Temperature 19*c
Another locked off camera was placed facing down the corridor on the first floor where a trigger object had also been positioned.
First floor
The EMF and Temperature readings were consistent throughout
EMF 0.1 - 0.2 Temperature 18 - 18.5*c
During this initial testing, in room 3 near the bathroom door the EMF fluctuated considerably, also a momentary much higher reading on the wall near the bathroom was noted just after a small flash was seen.
Investigation;
Group 1 Trudy and Russ
Room 8/Room 10
The group spent some time in both these rooms but had nothing to report.
Group 2 Anne and Val (G)
Room 3
Some light anomalies were caught on camera; some of these were quite bright and appeared to 'flash'. Both members felt uneasy in particular about the doorway but this could have been caused by the shape of the room. Anne followed one light anomaly for about 30 seconds as it came across the room and across her legs. Towards the end of this group’s vigil they both commented on hearing the voices of Group one in the base room however they discovered that the group had not actually returned there during this time.
Group 1
Trudy, Anne and Val
Room 5
There was not much activity in the way of light anomalies or sounds, Trudy and Val (O) felt fine. Anne felt a little uncomfortable but this was probably because she was sitting in the doorway facing down the corridor. With not a great deal happening the group decided to go downstairs, Trudy went to get Val (G) and Russ.
Group 2 Val (G) and Russ
Room 6
Both felt very relaxed in this room and apart from a few light anomalies, there was nothing to report.
Group 1 Anne and Val (G)
Cellar
Val felt fairly comfortable in the cellar but Anne felt very uneasy. However, this could have been down to the fact the cellar has a very low roof and with barrels everywhere it was not possible to stand against a wall so this could possibly have added to Anne's feelings of uneasiness. Light anomalies were caught seemingly in response to requests, both group members turned at exactly the same time sensing someone was behind them and Val looked behind Anne at exactly the same time that Anne felt something tug on her t-shirt.
Group 2 Trudy, Val (G) and Russ
Spent some time looking around the bar restaurant area and taking pictures. Val expressed a very uncomfortable feeling in the function room and conservatory and a few orbs were caught on digital camera. While on this look around Russ hear noises coming from the restaurant area.
