Purpose of Investigation
Homeowner has lived at the property for over 10 years and has experienced many strange occurances in certain parts of the property which have been witnessed by multiple people who reside in the property.
Historical Background
Before being redeveloped into housing, Ashford Hospital was located on Kings Avenue in Ashford. The hospital was constructed between 1926 and 1928 and was designed by the architect Edward A. Jackson. Its foundation stone was ceremonially laid by the Duke and Duchess of York - who would later become King George VI and the Queen Mother - on October 20, 1926.
Ashford Hospital officially opened its doors in July 1928. It featured a two-storey brick administration block that was linked by a long central corridor to several similar ward blocks situated behind it. Additional facilities on the site included a nurses’ home, an old boiler house, and a mortuary.
During the Second World War, the hospital expanded to include a brick-built gas decontamination plant, which was later repurposed as a physiotherapy department. An underground air-raid shelter was also added during this time. In more recent years prior to its closure, the hospital saw further development, including the construction of a new day hospital.
Ashford Hospital closed in 1993 and the site has since been redeveloped into residential housing.
Reported Claims
Activity experienced by witnesses (e.g., noises, apparitions, feelings)
Black mass described as liquid form has been seen in the cupboard under the stairs.
Another resident of the property saw an outline of a figure behind the curtain at the back double doors. The figure approached her and vanished.
Shadows have been seen towards the back of the living room, as though people are passing through. This is the same location as the double doors where the figure was behind the curtains.
A little girl has been heard laughing in the property, but has only been heard once during the 10 years they have lived at the property.
One time they had visitors, a magazine/newspaper was thrown towards the visitor. She was due to stay for the night but instead booked into a hotel nearby.
“Silver man” seen by the eldest child.
Sleep paralysis has been experienced by Graham at this property, during which he saw red face peering around the doorway.
Who made the reports (anonymous if requested)?
Homeowners
Methodology & Equipment Used
Equipment list (e.g., EMF meters, spirit boxes, DVRs, REM pods, trigger objects)
Two static video cameras
K2 Meters
Rempods
Techniques (e.g., EVP sessions, spirit communication, environmental baseline readings).
Baseline readings as mentioned previously looking for EMF readings so we knew what to expect during our investigation.
Calling out trying to communicate with anything that may be present.
Controlled variables or protocols (e.g., lights off, lockdown, static cams).
Two static video cameras - One in the hallway pointing up the stairs and the other in the living room.
Digital recorder left at the top of the stairs on the landing.
Lights were on to begin with and switched off later on during the investigation.
Baseline Readings
EMF, temperature, humidity, etc., before investigation began.
No unusual EMF readings within the house
Temperature: 7 degrees celsius
Conditions: Clear
Wind: 12mph
Humidity: 82%
Noted environmental anomalies (e.g., electrical wiring near hotspots, drafts).
No noticeable drafts throughout the property. The heating had been switched off one hour prior to the investigation, and the occasional knocks early on were put down to the house settling from the heating being switched off.
Outside contamination, mainly car doors being closed which explained some of banging noises or knocks that could be heard. Sometimes they sounded like they were coming from inside the property but when listening carefully and listening back to recordings, you could tell these were from outside.
Investigation Summary
Break this down by area/room/location with time, participants, occurrences, and debunking notes.
Between 20:00 - 20:12: Device setup - When positioning the rem pod on the landing, Dan invited the little girl to play with the rem pod.
20:12: The digital recorder and static cameras were switched on to record simultaneously so everything was in sync.
20:16: Landing - The rem pod situated on the landing was activated. Dan asks if it’s the girl he asked to touch it to let go, and it stops. He then asks to touch it again, and the rem pod activates right away. As he asks for the girl to step away, the rem pod stops as he is just finishing saying it. We pause to see if it goes off on its own accord again and after a gap Dan once again asks the little girl to touch the rem pod again but it remains silent. The rem pod didn’t go off again for the rest of the investigation.
21:02: Stairs and landing - After hearing some noises that sounded like they were coming from upstairs, Dan went to take a look. As he was going up the stairs he could feel static and asked the others to join him to see if they could feel it too. Everybody could feel it and Graham and Sandra started to get a headache. There were also cold blasts of air at the top of the stairs. At the top of the stairs, there is a window however, it did not feel like a draft was coming from the window itself. The glass was cold to touch though, so this could explain it.
21:57: Living room - Session with a glass and just the words ‘yes’ and ‘no’ begins. A callout to any spirits that reside in the home or the surrounding area were invited to come forward. It took 5-6 minutes before the glass started to move. Whilst it took some time to get some movement, the answers we got didn’t make any sense.
22:07 : Stairs - Sandra thought that she saw a face on the stairs “peering through the banister”. Unfortunately nothing was picked up on the static camera that was situated in the hallway. At this point, there were candles that were lit to give a bit of light for the glass and ‘yes’ and ‘no’ session. We believe that this was a trick of the eye with a candle flicker. Although, it was previously noted that movement has been seen on the stairs over the years when sitting in the living room.
22:10: Hallway - Whilst Sandra, Jason and Graham have their fingers on the glass and Dan is seated on the sofa watching the stairs for the face, we heard almost what sounds like and felt like somebody opening a door as if they had just walked into the property. We also all felt a big draft as if the front door had just been opened. The K2 meter that was situated in the living room also flashed. We didn’t quite see which colour it went up to, but we think it was at least orange. The moment was recorded on the static camera in the hallway.
Other than the odd bang and creak here and there which could be explained by something natural, nothing else was experienced.
Conclusion
Was the location active?
Yes - But in waves. Mostly the house felt quiet and calm, and then you would have a couple of moments like what was described in the investigation summary.
Is further investigation warranted?
No - However as this is a home of one of the members of the team, we will continue to investigate there when we can.
Any follow-up recommended?
Not recommended, however as explained in the previous section we will return.
