This week we are in Pluckley Village, England. England has a lot of haunted places, I don't think the team is going to run out of material for a while! Pluckley Village is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records (don't they make a beer too?) as being Europe's most haunted village. We'll just see about that! The first stop on the tour is Black Horse Inn, Europe's most haunted pub, I'll have that Guinness now! Anyway, the tale told here is that there is a Bailiff and his dogs that are seen in the bar, anyone for a Guinness?, a little girl that was murdered is seen by the fireplace and cold spots in the bar, and I thought the bar was usually a hot spot!
The team decides to set up EMF detectors as sort of an alarm as to any presence, something they have not tried so far. The idea is to catch any entity coming or going with an audible alarm.
Brian and Barry go to the bar where Barry feels hands on his shoulders (I'll bet he wished he had a Guinness about then) and wasn't too happy about it. He asked the presence if it was playing games and the EMF detector alarmed. Later, when listening to the tapes, they get a response to Barry's question "perhaps".
The team sends in Shannon and, ghost fave, Donna to see if females would elicit a different response. The girls ask the spirit all kinds of questions including Donna asking if the spirit would like to dance with her friend. Every question earned them an EMF alarm.
Andy & Robb debunk the bar's cold spots with the thermal imaging camera when they see cold air seeping in around the door. Like I said before, a place that old will be a bit drafty! After reviewing the tapes, and a few pints of Guinness (I'm assuming), the team declares the Black Horse Inn haunted.
On to Elvey Farm Hotel, which was built in 1406, and the screaming woods. Some of the stories told around the fireplace here are that a farmer shot himself and his last words, "I will, I will" are heard around the farm house, scratching noises heard in the barn and, of course, screams heard in the screaming woods (I guess I don't need to comment on the obvious).
Andy & Robb right away debunk the barn noises with the thermal imaging camera as being rats (eeek!), they always get the fun toys. They next go to the screaming woods and immediately hear, you guessed it, screaming. Nothing shows up on the thermal but, they hear foot steps coming toward them and stop right in front of them. After all of the screaming and foot steps, they decide to send in the "A" team of Donna & Shannon to see if they would get the same experience. They did.
Next into the screaming woods was the "B" team of Barry & Brian (get it, B team, Ok just making sure you are paying attention). They start hearing the same things and end up getting lost. While trying to find their way out of the woods, they hear what sounds like something laugh at them. Andy & Robb go in to look for them using the thermal camera and find them with it, which, by the way, was used in the commercial which led people (Ok, me) into thinking something other than human was caught on the thermal and would cause us to watch. Don't you guys know by now, we will watch no matter what?! After the review, nothing was found in the farm house and the screaming in the woods was matched to several types of animal noises. Therefore, no evidence was found for a haunting.
The team stopped by Sherwood forest (I didn't think there really was such a place) for a little R&R. Barry & Brian decide to surprise the rest of the team by dressing up as a knight (Barry) and Robin Hood (Brian). Things go terribly wrong when Barry trips over the log he was trying to jump over and lands face first in front of everyone. At least he can laugh at himself. I was glad to see the team having some fun on their European trek.
Congrats go to Andy for his first baby! Double D
