The Second Visit

On the second visit I took my baseline kit, consisting of emf meter and laser thermometer, and digital stills camera. I carried out a partial baseline test and made note of the readings, which all came back as normal, andIi also took the opportunity to take some photographs. A few of the photographs showed up faint orbs, but one photo in particular showed up a very bright, big and distinct orb, this was taken in the cellar, and other photos of the same area came back as normal, with no anomalies.

Also on the same visit (which was also combined with a small tour consisting of members of the public) I and several other witnesses all heard a loud rapping sound, just once in the council chambers. We were in a side room at the time, and the sound appeared to emanate from the main chamber where the meeting table was. It was very hard to pinpoint exactly where the sound had came from, but it sounded like one of the heavy wooden chairs being knocked or slightly budged.

I took a good look around but couldn't really find out what had caused the sound for sure. I then decided to interview the other people, who were on the tour as to what they thought the sound was, and what may have caused it, however; their questions greatly outnumbered mine, and I answered more than I asked.

I have a few theories as to what could cause some of the sounds at least. The Moot Hall sits right on the high street and heavy traffic may cause vibrations through the building. in fact, that has been proven as the building has had to be renovated due to age and the vibrations causing cracks to appear in the walls.

It's more than possible that these vibrations may cause sounds to be heard, such as floor boards creaking, and may even cause very slight movement of light objects, depending on weight of traffic. what the reader has to bare in mind at this point is that all kinds of traffic including buses and heavy good vehicles regularly move at speed past the building, this I feel could account for some noises heard, that may have been deemed paranormal in nature.
