The three Webcams that you see on this site are located in an isolated 16th century Farm House in the Southwest of England, they will rotate at various times. The owners of the property wish for the location and their identity to remain secret, but will try to answer any questions that you may have.
It can be seen that over the Centuries that the House has had extension, additions and alterations and for many years mainly in these areas, various visual, audio and physical unexplained incidents have been witnesses by the Owners of the property, their Children and Visitors.
In the Victorian Bathroom an apparition has been seen enter the room from a blocked up door opening, crossing the room to stand at the window before disappearing, a face has also been seen at this window from the outside of the house.
The Passageway was once part of a large room, the right hand wall has been built to make the passageway, an apparition has been seen to enter through the Oak Front Door and disappear through the built up wall.
The recess by the side of the Inglenook Fire Place in the Dinning room, was at one time a stairway leading to the first floor, it would have been entered by a small door, an arbitration has been seen in this area in conjunction with a noise of an unexplained banging door. The stairway would have led to what is now is the main bedroom of the house, were the top door of that stairway is still in place in the bedroom, in this now bedroom unexplained physical incidents have occurred.
Other unexplained incidents will be explained at a later date.
There have been a number of unexplained strange incidents and apparitions in the house, these have involved children.
We moved into the house with our twin sons, and although over the years the house had undergone many extension, alteration and additions , we felt renovation and some alterations were still needed.
The work unearthed Victorian servant calling bell wires in two walls, and signs of a servants staircase. The work that had been done over the years, with these signs showed that the house had been owned by various influential people. We later found out that the house was the main house of a substantial estate.
One of the most significant alteration that we made was to change the position of the main staircase, it led from a passageway in the middle of the house, to a not very nice landing on the first floor, it did not look an original staircase. we later found that the staircase was newish, but in the original position. We could turn the staircase in its own space, the bottom of the staircase would then finish in a cupboard in the kitchen, making a very attractive cottage stairway, leading from the kitchen. The landing of the original position could then incorporated into a bedroom, making a very large bedroom and small toilet, with its countryside views it would make an ideal bedroom for the twins.
From the first day of the twins moving into the bedroom, they were 8 years old at the time, the younger boy became very unhappy. He would come into our bedroom two or three times a night telling us he could hear noises and was frightened, as the older twin was not complaining we thought that he was just making it up as he could not sleep, and wanted attention. We were very busy in the house, and probably have not given the twins the attention that they were use to.
Most nights for some weeks he was waking and coming to our room, he was getting more frightened and crying telling us that he could hear someone walking up the stairs. We moved the twins into another bedroom and the problem stopped. After a week or so the elder twin wanted to return to his bedroom, as the younger twin had not heard any noises he agreed to return with him. That night we were woken by the older twin shouting to us, we rushed to the room to find the younger twin sobbing and shaking uncontrollable, he told us that he had heard someone walking up the stairs as before, he told us that somehow although he did not want to look, something made him look to the direction of the toilet, where a man standing. Every parent know their children, we knew he was being truthful, the toilet was the top landing of the stairs before it was altered.
The next day I went with the twins to see the local priest, he listened to the story and agreed that he would come and bless the house, at the blessing he gave the twins a candle to light every night, telling them that It would stop him seeing the man. From then on the boy never had any more problems and went back to sleep in the room.
Six years later a friend became a regular visitor, she had at the time a four year old son, whilst we would be down stairs her son would go upstairs to the twins bedroom, to play with their toys that were still in their room. On a number of occasions when in the bedroom playing he could be heard talking, when questioned, he told that he had been talking to a friend, we believed he meant a toy. On one occasion when he was heard his mother went quietly upstairs to the bedroom, she could hear her son talking, she looked around the doorway without being seen by her son, she could see him in conversation, looking towards the toilet door, she went in and asked who he was talking to, he pointed to the toilet entrance telling his mother, that man, what man she questioned, that man there, he came up the stairs. His mother could see no one. The toilet was at the top of the stairs before the staircase was turned around, the same place that the younger twin had seen his man. The twins bedroom is on the other side of the blocked up doorway in the Victorian bathroom, where the apparition came from, in the Victorian Bathroom.
