Bacup Nr.

BACUP INVESTIGATION 9th June 2007
Crew - Nicky, Vicky, Ian, Trudy, Jim, Jim, Judy, Danny
The team turned up with excited anticipation hoping that we would see just as
exciting stuff as the last time. The theatre DID NOT disappoint. Within seconds
of going into the building my arm started to burn up bright red whilst trying
to catch my breath with heart palpitations. I felt like I was sunburnt and as
though I had been in a fire.
As I said this both Trudy and Danny, one of the bacup staff, heard TRUDY spoken
loudly by a spirit person using direct voice as there was no one else standing
there! Trudy and Vicky popped
off to the ladies and came back with more than they bargained for. Trudy had
deep scratches swelling into welt marks on her back, she explained that she
just went into the cubicle and felt a massive sting. See Photo.
Minutes later, Vicky then got pinched on her arm, again this was photographed.
Wow, we had only been there five minutes. I didn't sense this as nasty energy,
I believe that they were as excited as us and just a bit too enthusiastic with
their energies.
When I returned to the loo with a pendulum it shuddered and swung like crazy in
one of the cubicles. A very strong energy was present.
After a cuppa we then went to the main stall area in the heart of the theatre.
After about ten minutes we all were experiencing freezing cold blasts, a dark
figure walked right up to Trudy and really startled her, I then saw the black
form drift past me towards Jim. He then sensed someone sitting next to him as
his right hand side was freezing. We also heard male voices talking and music
playing as well as singing. Obviously residual energy from all of the theatre
shows.
This part for me is the most daunting of all the areas as you are sitting in
total darkness absolutely aware that you have spirit energies sitting behind
you walking through you and in front of you. Not for the faint hearted.
Remember there are no windows in the whole building, when it's 'lights out' it
is PITCH BLACK.
We then wandered through the various rooms where we were delighted with taps,
bangs, metallic objects being thrown, massive freezing temperature blasts and
fantastic orb phenomena.
The absolute icing was the second half when we decided to do table tipping on
the main stage area. The table was having difficulty gaining energy so we
decided to have a séance instead to raise the energies.
Within a few minutes, Ian started to channel a number of spirit people. I have
to say I have never seen such clear transfiguration on a human face before. You
could clearly see a fat moustached man, a slim faced handsome man, an even
younger faced man and a woman.
When I spoke with the young man, I ascertained from the energy flow that he had
been homosexual and in deep pain because of his secret, tears flowed from Ian's
eyes,
I asked him if he had ever found true love, as I did this Judy remarked about a
light and energy build up further back stage behind Ian. Vicky then saw a
massive light globe and then all of us saw a glowing blue, white energy flow
from behind Ian and over his head. I can only describe it as the top half of a
torso, head and outstretched arms. Everyone gasped. Vicky and I ducked because
it looked like it was heading straight for us! It then drifted into the middle
of the air over the front stalls and disappeared. We were aware that there were
birds that nested in the rafters way above the stage. However, 1. There was
absolutely no sound whatsoever as the figure glided over us. 2. It must have
been an albatross as the wingspan was massive! 3. If it had been a bird, it
would have had to fly back towards us to get back up the vertical curtains and
props 3. The management have never seen birds fly down vertically and around
the stage, especially at night 4. Birds do not glow bright blue and white 5.
Birds do not disappear into thin air in front of your eyes 5. We weren't aware
if birds can fly in the pitch black and could see where they were going.
My thought? I know when I see spirit energy; the rush as it
flew over us was unbelievable. I have never seen anything like it.
As this happened the table then started to shudder and gain an extreme amount
of energy. Within seconds it was walking, launching itself across the stage
especially after Trudy identified the name of one of the main resident spirits.
The power behind that table was unbelievable; it desperately tried to levitate
upwards and managed to have all legs off the floor in short intervals.
As this was happening, I then felt a sharp sting to my leg.
I looked down along with a few other people who had seen something fly at my
leg. I picked it up and was amazed to see it was a lump of spirit sage.
I had placed a bit into my bra, (Had no pockets!) in case I had to light any
throughout the evening. I checked, it was gone. The sage had approved from my
underwear and been thrown at my leg from a distance.
As ever the sceptic, I checked. I had three layers of tops, one tucked into my
jeans, and an elasticated fleece zipped up to my neck. I was physically
impossible for the sage to drop out. I asked if it should be lit the table
banged loudly. So that's what we did, we cleansed the stage.
Later, as we walked down the steps from the stage, we then noticed that a chair
seat in the front row had been put down. We definitely checked the seats
regularly to see that all were upright, so this was unexplainable and almost
certainly paranormal! In front of this seat later was a five pence piece; this
had not been there at all as we would have noticed it when checking the seat. I
asked Jim if there had been money found before, he stated that it happened all
the time that money is found on stage and in front of the front row seats.
Great apport, especially being money! We then all camped out in the theatre
foyer; just before we were due to go to sleep I sensed an energy over by Ian.
As you can see I captured an impressive orb, (first stage of spirit
manifestation) the photo before shows it manifesting its energy next to Ian's
bed. Great stuff!
So even at rest they still drew near. We slept with the lights on! In the
morning we again had a fantastic table tipping session with unbelievable energy
throwing the table all over the stage. Another photo also shows a second orb
that I caught flashing across from the curtain area travelling to the right of
the stage.
After an exciting yet draining weekend we reluctantly left this fantastic
building knowing that we would be returning soon, ready for the next chapter!
