LPS members re-visited two of its previous investigation sites this month plus a visit to Sharpenhoe Clappers.

Sharpenhoe Clappers is an Iron Age fort built on the Chiltern Hills near Barton-Le-Clay. Although the weather was dreary, a drizzling rain, members were in high spirits to be back out on location. We spent the time walking around the woods and taking in the magnificent views from the great height. After walking round the circuit members regrouped to discuss the location. It was agreed that it was a lovely picturesque place but there were no strange feelings or paranormal occurrences.

The second location of the night was an LPS favourite, St Mary’s Church in Clophill. Members only spent a short amount of time at the church as the investigation was interrupted. Still, members had another chance to look around and take pictures and readings. One picture, taken by Jane Ansell, seems to show a figure in a white dress inside the church itself. The picture has been analysed by group members but remains unexplained.

The last stop of the night was a return to another previous LPS location, Houghton House. Members walked round the dark ruins of the house which now unfortunately has areas cornered off due to the dangerous state of the ruins. Members Elaine, Charmaine and Sam had a strange feeling of a presence on the lower floor. The rest of the group gathered in the area that the presence was felt. Sandi stood in the exact spot against the wall to see if she could pick anything up. Whilst feeling cold blasts of air around her she got the name Catherine and the colour white. Sam was also taking EMF reading around the area next to Sandi and it was spiking to a very high level. Steph checked along the floors, walls and members equipment for any readings but none were recorded but the EMF continued to give off a high reading that seemed to have no pattern to its fluctuations.
