The Walsall Poltergeist
By Nicholas Duffy – West Midlands Ghost Club (Click for Website)

Vigil 1 :  Friday 14th to Saturday 15th of March 2003.  
Investigators present:  Len Jackson, Darren Simpson and Nick Duffy.
A series of recording and manned vigil sessions began approx. midnight and proceeded throughout the night until 5.15am.

A number of ‘clicks’ (of varying intensity) were detected throughout the recording sessions – though these were wholly nondescript and, more than likely, were naturally occurring sounds simply generated by the house itself.

During the 1st video recording session on the landing of the property – 12.00 to 12.30am – the distinct sound of a cup or brittle plastic beaker being dropped on a hard surface, and subsequently rolling, was found.  This sound was fairly loud on the recording.

Around this approx. time, a group member did actually pay a visit to the kitchen for a glass of water.  Because of this event, the aforementioned sound does, it has to be said, have a most obvious and probable cause.  However, it has to be pointed out that no one present can recall having heard a drinking vessel being dropped at this point and the researcher concerned states that he did not drop anything while in the kitchen.  The kitchen itself is situated right next to the living room – where the other investigators were seated – while the camera was some distance away on the landing.  

The property itself was found to be very warm throughout the night, despite the fact that the central heating had been purposefully switched off.  The temperature dropped 2 to 3 degrees throughout the duration of the visit.

The physical construction of the house appears rather flimsy and sound does tend to carry exceptionally well within it’s confines.
Due to the circumstances mentioned above, the Ghost Club sought permission to carry out a second night of recordings at the house in question.
