Barrier Alarm

Barrier Alarm or Sensor

When something moves in front of the sensor it lights up. These are the quiet versions and only light up when something passes through the barrier. Other similar devices make a loud noise or alarm when something breaks the barrier. We prefer this version as a simple light comes on, rather than an alarm (which will need to be turned off) as the light will dim and go out when no more movement is detected.

Ideally these would be used as part of a locked off area (with a camera recording) as it would be obvious to see if anything set the barrier light off. Sometimes the smallest of movements can set these off so they need to be used in an area where no-one will walk past or in the beam of the alarm.

These are quite difficult to get hold of nowadays and we haven’t seen any for sale for some time. That said they pop up on eBay from time to time. The barrier alarms that make a noise are generally available on eBay and Amazon and we would expect them to cost about £20 for two. PIR light sensors you can get easily as they are now used for cupboard or wardrobe lighting, it is even possible to get USB charging ones, cost is from £6 per unit.

Lowndes Arms ghost hunt -13-10-2012

The Lowndes Arms ghost hunt 13th October 2012
Whaddon, Buckinghamshire

Initially we were asked to undertake a ghost hunt at The Lowndes Arms for The Sun newspaper back in July 2012. After that event and the activity that we recorded we thought it would be worthwhile holding a public ghost hunt.

On the night there were two groups, one based downstairs, and the other with me upstairs.

In the first group we had some KII activity and some small amounts of communication via our electronic devices; however I decided that it would be better to hold a séance to get the spirit energies to interact with the guests.

A male spirit called Michael joined us, he was about 33 years old and a stocky build and he told me that he was a local farm hand and had passed away in 1850s (he wasn’t sure of the exact year).

Whilst Michael was able to move some of the guests arms, the thing that really surprised us was the amount of force that he was able to put on some people and drag them down to the floor and he was also able to push groups of people into one another. During this séance there were strange noises heard near the floor, creaking and groaning. Considering the other group were downstairs it was unlikely that anything that they were doing would make this kind of noise. It wasn’t floor boards moving either as I asked the guests that were nearest to the noise to jump up and down and this made no noise.

Also whilst we were holding the séance the motion sensors that we had set up in the corridor were periodically set off (this happened on the first investigation in July).

After a short break the second group came upstairs with me.

This time however there was a very high level of KII activity and during the séance part of the evening the guests really felt the spirit energy of Michael who was more than happy to move their arms and push and pull them. All of the guests felt Michael move them in some way and several guests were swayed. John & Steven were pushed together and then down on more than one occasion.

Once again we could all see the motion sensor lights set off more frequently than the first group and this time there were no noises similar to what I heard with the first group, although there were still some strange noises heard within the room.

At one point one of the guests felt his bum being touching which he found to be amusing and a little worrying at the same time!

A various times many of the guests were twisted (as if they were dancing) although some of the guests did feel unwell, however given that the spirit were manipulating us into some very uncomfortable positions and twirling people (sometimes on their own) and swaying and pulling people down, it is no wonder that some people felt a little sick. Although all of these feelings stopped as soon as we stopped doing the séance.

At the end of the session I conducted an EVP (Electronic voice phenomena a.k.a. ghost voice) experiment. There were quite a few spirit responses after the guests questions, however some of them could not be interpreted clearly, the best ones can be heard at:-

Once again a very enjoyable ghost hunt in which many of the guests felt the spirit energy move them in ways that they never thought possible. Everyone had thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we also recorded some excellent video and audio evidence which will be published as soon as it can be verified by our experts.
