Our Paranormal night raised £400. Below is a report from one of the investigators. There will be a return to Lydiate Abbey in the next couple of months, anyone interested should contact Jan Robinson on 07983 160479 or email jan@ghostwalks.org
A report from Michael Hadfield – A member of Eximius Paranormal Research and Investigation Group
The evening was clear and cold and the lack of light pollution meant that even faint constellations like the Pleiades were easily visible alongside Orions magnificence and the familiar Plough standing on its tail. It would have been a good evening for a sky watch, but that was not the reason we were there.
Thirty eight people arrived to enjoy experiencing at first hand, and for the first time, the reality of a paranormal investigation - which is quite unlike the simulacrum offered by REALITY tv.
Attendees were shown how to use voice recorders to search for Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP); dowsing rods to seek out energy signatures; and electro-magnetic field (EMF) meters to identify possible paranormal activity; they were also briefed on the history of the abbey and the nearby Hall.
Two groups were formed, one headed off to Lydiate Hall, a short walk away, while the other remained at St. Catherines Chapel (the real name of Lydiate Abbey). Half way through the evening the groups swapped over, so that everyone had a chance to explore both places.
We had some interesting responses on our EMF meters, several people obtained photographs with as yet unexplained phenomena, and most of our trainee dowsers were suitably impressed when rods took on a life of their own, and a significant number even successfully located the psychic hotspot we created several hours earlier in the Hall.
It appears that an enjoyable evening was had by all and we received much in the way of positive feedback about the event. Freshfields Animal Rescue benefited from this charity event, and my thanks to Jan, Fred and Penny, for organising the event and for providing assistance and support in handling such a large number of people, and also Wendy for coming along to add a little psychic depth to the evening.
If you attended and have photographs then please send them to Jan, at jan@ghostwalks.org and she can pass them onto me for possible posting.

Ghostly Fireside Tales at the Punchbowl
Haunted Liverpool Ghost Walks recently ran a new event at the Punchbowl in Sefton. Our Ghostly Fireside Tales were enjoyed by seventy people. The Punchbowl provided a delicious buffet which was enjoyed by all.
Freshfields Animal Rescue would like to extend its thanks to the team from Eximius Paranormal Investigations (EPRI) who came along to lead the paranormal investigation behind the cemetery of St Helens church. They gave their time freely and conducted a realistic investigation of one of the most haunted churches in Lancashire. They also donated some past issues of their paranormal magazine which were snapped up by interested customers (including me).
The team made a major contribution to the success of the evening and we are hoping they will come back for the next Ghostly Fireside Tales which will take place on November 26th.
The team are from left to right Lee Tomlinson, Clare Rooney & Michael Hadfield. Thank you from all of us at Freshfields! If you are interested in the paranormal or would like more information about the team, please contact Jan Robinson at jan@ghostwalks.org or phone 07983 160479 and I will be happy to pass on their details.

A BIG THANK YOU to Colette Brotherton and the team from the Fox Cub at Walmer Bridge - for agreeing to host a Charity Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre in aid of Freshfields Animal Rescue.
Colette and the team really got into the spirit of things with their snazzy costumes and it was a great night out for everyone concerned.
We raised over £400.00 for Freshfields which is fantastic. BRAVO!!!
