Do ghosts really exist? Melanie Wallwork went on a ghost hunt to a haunted Lancashire house with a team of experts to find out
AS
I arrived at Mains Hall I had rather mixed feelings about what I wanted
to see. The journalist in me wanted to see ghouls and ghosts, maybe a
zombie or two, but the real me wasn't so sure. Back in the newsroom,
concern had been expressed about the possibility of me being satanized,
and I certainly didn't want that.
I drove down the long gravel driveway and through the gates of the
Great Hall, where Adele and Roger Yeomans live with Josh, 15, and
Beccy, 18.
Mains Hall at Little Singleton, near Garstang, was
owned by the staunchly Catholic family, the Heskeths, who lived there
for more than 300 years. It is claimed to be haunted by the ghosts of
monks and priests, cavaliers and roundheads, lords, ladies and children.
The
house, which is said to be a mediaeval longhouse dating back to the
1300s, has been home to Adele and Roger for three years. Although they
bought it as a bed and breakfast 17 years ago before running it as a
country house hotel.
Adele was on hand to show me around the
house, along with medium Angela Borrows and Jason Karl, co-presenter
from Most Haunted on the cable station Living TV.
Angela has been a medium for most of her life after having her first psychic experience as a young child.
She
has worked with various ghost investigation groups including The Ghost
Research Foundation and has appeared on several television programmes
demonstrating her skills.
As we began our tour, Angela
immediately began 'tuning in' and said the atmosphere in the hallway
suddenly felt heady and heavy. She said she could smell a man with
musty odour, whom she went on to identify as a cavalier.
As we moved to the next room, Angela's mood distinctly changed.
