We were approached by the owners of a local metal works in Febuary 08, to investigate the strange goings on that where happening there. The only thing we found out about the building that it was built near old mine workings. After interviewing the owner and staff, we decided to go ahead with a vigil.

The information given by the owners was, things moved within the building while they were working. If they left the room, when they returned they claimed that tools or other objects where left balanced on other items, for example a spanner was balanced on top a gas bottle. There where shadows that were seen on numerous occasions walking across the back wall. The image of a small boy had been seen by many people on the roof of the inner office. The owner's son said he had lots of photographs of strange things that have happened over the years. The son who was an ex army soldier who had seen action in Iraq, was himself spooked by working in this metal works, and claimed it was very unnerving at times.

The night of the vigil was a very cold and windy night; we arrived at about 9pm and set up our equipment. There were four members of our team, with the owner and his son. We experienced allot of problems with the equipment, things breaking for no apparent reason, e.g. tripods for cameras breaking, the emf meter plug started smoking when plugged in.

Anyway we trunggled through with the investigation, taking temperature readings setting barrier alarms. It was 9 degrees when we started the vigil in the factory, as the night wore on the temperature dropped, but the thermometer inside the building continued to read 9 degrees. The beam barrier alarm kept sounding off, but no readings on our emf meter where present.

To sum up our investigation the vigil did not really turn up anything extraordinary, other than the equipment breaking down and the strange temperature readings. We will keep in touch with the owners of the works to log anymore incidents.
