First sceance started well. The glass was moving and the temperature dropped. We came across a man whose first letter was J and the number 7, but nothing else.
 
12.55pm
Function Room
A trigger object (a cross) was left but this did not move.  Phil and Marsha tried table tipping. The table moved a lot but no information.
  
2am
Main Bar

Second sceance. The landlord’s dog started to bark while looking at the door by the stairs. Marsha saw a small light in the same area. We carried on with the sceance but the dog was growling. 

  
2.30am

At the end of the sceance something was was thrown at us from the direction of the staircase. On investigation it was found to be a coin, an old penny dated 1927 King George 5th). This landed by the fireplace. 
 Poltergeist
Avtivity

Upper Bar
Kath conducted ar pendulum experiment and we were getting personal readings for a member of the team but this was not correct.
  
3.30am
Finish
  
CONCLUSION: We were all astounded by the Poltergeist Activity, the coin was just fantastic. The likelyhood of there being access to any old coins at the evening vigil was very unlikely. All staff and the investigation team were all in view of each other and all on camera at the time the coin appeared.
