25th February 2005
LPS members braved the freezing weather for February’s investigation, which covered three local sites. February saw a change in investigation style. Members were split into two groups and rotated sites Battlesden and Milton Bryan then joined up to investigate Segenhoe church. Mists were caught on camera at Milton Bryan and Battlesden some of these were analysed and concluded to be moisture, however, consecutive pictures were taken by other members providing different results in each photograph.
Team 1 Report
Strange lights were also captured on camera at Milton Bryan. Leana briefly caught sight of a man in black shoes and jeans in Milton Bryan near the gate, which was not an LPS member. Once team 2 had arrived at Milton Bryan they were divided up into smaller teams in order to cover the area twice and so increase the chance of finding anything paranormal. At the road sign area the team managed to take pictures of mysterious mists. These pictures were retaken as is procedure to see if those same mists reappeared but they did not. The team did try some EVP experiments without any success. Some members reported having strange feelings at one point in the road as if being watched.
Battlesden church gave some members odd feelings, which they couldn’t explain. Andy F heard someone say the name ‘Ricky’ in the grounds of Battlesden church and upon checking found that it came from no one in the group. Sam heard the sound of someone breathing next to her, again in the church grounds. Three members of team 2 also felt something was not right in the church area or physically sick and refused to go back into the area. Again EVP was tried without any success. On the Battlesden road itself both Stephanie and Sharon heard strange sounds.
Segenhoe church had no known hauntings but members thoroughly enjoyed the visit to this 11th century church. Some mists were again caught on camera. Some members tried to prevent the occurrence of moisture in the pictures by briefly holding their breath when taking the pictures but strangely enough mists still appeared. Other than that members experienced a calmness that seemed to envelop the area. An overall interesting investigation with many strange phenomena and each site is certainly worth consideration for a second investigation some time later in the year.
