Grand Hotel Scarborough We visited this great historic location on Saturday. The building dates back to the 1800s and was heavily bombed in the first world war, but it survived as a posting station for soldiers in the 2nd world war. Rumour will have it that it survived WW2 due to Hitler wanting it as a UK base. We all went as one large group to investigate the hotels sea-view restaurant. We put cat balls out at various points and emf meters on tables too. We got some limited cat ball interaction and some response on the emfs though that did some reasonably weak. We also tried to communicate using spirit boxes and the Ovilus. We got some responses notably best on the Ovilus, which provided us with some names and some answers which seemed relevant to our questions. The spirit boxes seemed to pick up on spirits who sounded like they were talking amongst themselves. We decided at this point to have a small group of 5 go to the far end of the restaurant. Both groups again got some interaction with the cat balls. We then decide as a group to go to the upstairs ballroom. We called out for spirit interaction but once again didnt receive much. We did get a scare as we were being told of a time Spirit Seekers were there, and the fire doors rattled. Sure enough, almost as if on command, the door rattled and began to open; this, however, turned out to be a night porter carrying out a fire equipment check!! We then, as a group, did a human pendulum. Our first try at this with a male participant didnt bring many results. We tried again with a female guest in the centre; this resulted in us communicating with the spirit of a 15-year-old boy. He apparently died in the building after falling down the main staircase, and his name began with an M. We then decided, after communication seemed to stop, to have a break. After the break, we split into two smaller groups. Group one went to the small library room on the first floor and later investigated the Empress bar. Group two investigated again in the restaurant and the upstairs ballroom. In the library, group one attempted an EVP experiment but, unfortunately, had no results. Through the spirit box, we communicated with the spirit of a woman and a man who appeared to be in some sort of relationship, and were both happy still to be there. We then moved on to the empress bar, where we got excellent clear responses on the spirit box, where there were apparently 15 spirits. The one we communicated with was a soldier who was there waiting to go to war. As unfortunately we had limited access to areas group two went back to the upstairs ballroom, nothing on spirit boxes or callouts, we tried table tipping still no results so gave the guests sitting around the table a pendulum to use, at last activity finding out a young female spirit in her twenties named Lily whom we have contacted before in that ballroom. We went down to the main ballroom but was still being cleaned so it was back to the restaurant where we got evp responses. During questioning I felt the back of my chair being pushed to which I commented "that was weird" on listening back to the recording just before I said that was weird at the same time I felt the chair pushed you can clearly hear footsteps on a wooden floor. As the restaurant is fully carpeted I can only assume it was residual from a time before carpets. Overall, the night was a good one, with some good spirit ressponses. And a big thank you to all the guests we had who made the night so enjoyablee!!
