Team Investigation
The team arrived at the Hall around 10pm and
set up our equipment ready for the nights investigation. As usual we sat down for a coffee and a chat before taking Temperature
readings. While we were sitting in the hall we all heard footsteps in the corridor and bangs coming from the Kitchen, it looked
like we were in for a good night. At 11.15pm a very loud knock came from the corridor, then tapping noises all along the wall
in the Hall, the tapping seemed to go all around the Hall getting louder and louder. At the same time the temperature dropped
from 15oC down to 5oC.
At Midnight we decided to carry out a séance in the Hall, after 10 minutes
of asking questions we heard more footsteps in the corridor and they seemed to be moving towards the Hall where we were sitting,
also tapping noises along the walls which seemed to go on forever. With the noise of the traffic outside we decided to stop
the séance and go down to Preston Old Jail Bridge and Preston Old Parish Church.
Conclusion
All in all it was a great night, one of the best places we have been to
with lots of Paranormal activity.
We are going back next year as we feel there is much more than we got on
the night.

When we got back we noticed that the heating had been switched
on and it was not on a timer, it was definitely switched off when we left.
At 2am we split into 2 groups, one in the Hall and the other in the Kitchen
facing the corridor. Chris, Louise and Rhianne were in the Hall, pretty soon they started hearing more footsteps, but these
were in the Hall and it was as though someone was running around the room, suddenly they stopped and the room became very
cold and both Chris and Louise could see a figure standing in the doorway. They asked questions to determine who this figure
was and Chris got the name William, but no more activity occurred in the Hall. After about half an hour both groups heard
what sounded like static coming from the corridor, it was almost like it was coming from a TV, it was very loud and unusual
which freaked everybody as we had no idea what it could have been. Soon the groups swapped places, while Chris, Louise and
Rhianne were in the Kitchen they could not take their eyes off the hallway, after asking some questions the strangest thing
happened, the doorway lit up an Electric Blue colour and it started to almost pulsate, going from bright to dull. This was
something that we have not experienced before and it can not be explained, one thing we do know is that it was not light coming
in from outside as all traffic had stopped, remember this was in a tiny village in the middle of the Scottish Borders.
