June 3rd Post-Investigation Discussion Thread

Saruman

You could have come in the end as my wife felt sick so did not come... Maybe next time we could take contact details for backups just in case someone drops out last minute.. though unless you drive you would not have had time to get there.

Oh and the trip itself was a lot of fun... no activity to speak of although some people had feelings and impressions of something or someone every now and again..

unfortunatly due to a bunch of spanish people who were not supposed to be staying there hijacked our room (and ate all our food!!) we did not get to try the red room sleep. I was supposed to sleep in there for an hour with a camera on me.

New_Departure06

Saruman are you sure nothing happened for anyone there? Nothing strange in photographs etc.?

Maybe when the mov files are put up we will hear strange noises again. Might be EVP on them.

monkeyfudge

Just back myself... again... I didn't see or hear anything strange myself.

But they did have a good go at automatic writing... which seemed to get a responce... but didn't really draw anything worthwhile.

I'll try and get the audio podcast up tomorrow.. which is a bit of a laugh... and I'll look at editing my video footage and interviews together for next week.

But thanks for Steven and 6th for organising it all.. despite our spanish friends it was a good evening..

What happened with the Spanish crowd we keep on hearing about?

They were volunteering to set things up for this big dance music festival next weekend... there were only supposed to be 9 of them and they had the Octagonal Room... but there were actually 12... and the extra 3 insisted on sleeping in the Morning Room... which we were told was the room we could use... but basically the spanish stayed up all night partying and playing loud music... so it really wasn't the ideal situation at all..

It seems Charlville is getting to more and more crowed these days.

Oh yes and they took all our water.. some of our food and one of my torches and all my batteries went missing.

stormkeeper

Ah fun. We don't seem to be having much luck with investigations lately, do we? My recording from the last invest. didn't turn out extremely well either; there were people within fairly close proximity of the Red Room, meaning the boundry mic picked up a lot of stuff from the people nearby. I'm not even sure if I picked up anything paranormal to be honest...

I intend to make sure the August one goes without a hitch...

New_Departure06

I hope you took lots of photos. Sometimes apparitions or orbs turn up in them.

No offence meant here mate, but many of them, if not all of them know this already. For some, it's not their first investigation...

Riamfada

I have my doubts about the Orbs. Anyway monkeyfudge aka Gary, I forgot to say "smell ya later" as I was reefed out of the place in some sort of mad daze this morning. Boo to the Spanish stealing our food and room and the fire I spent ages organising. Not alot of activitiy but the best part for me was the sun and the grounds as I was there the entire afternoon .

Roffles at Saruman sleeping on the floor of the Ballroom with his trench over his head .

Not the most comfortable way to sleep... i did move on to the old couch that was half my size... that was eh.. fun!!

Anyway New_Departure06... not newbies here and Orbs are usless as they are almost always reflections of dust, insects etc and can be easily created by throwing dust into the air and taking a photo.

Aparitions are a different story though and not so easy to be created.

My own video and photos produced nothing.. well except one picture that looks like an aparition of a face.. BUT that is the beam of my million candle power torch so nothing strange there

Maybe someone had better luck.

stormkeeper

For the most part a small fraction of videos, photos, etc will usually have "something" in them. 90% of the time, a lot of occurences can be naturally explained (as most, if not all of us now). There is the entire factor of "heightened expectations" for an allegedly haunted place, which was ironically brought up in Most Haunted's visit to Charleville. If you recall the episode, they had the moving wall there, though in the past year or so, it hasn't been around there... it was pretty cool seeing it though.

I still feel a little weird whenever I see Charleville on TV/DVD/Video; the entire factor of "I've been there!" never seems to get old, at least with me it doesn't. I'm such a child at heart at times... lol

6th

its moe like 99.9% of things can be naturally explained.

Perhaps I should have said "at least 90%"... that'd have been a better choice of words.

monkeyfudge

I had a listen to all the audio stuff I recorded already.

Nothing paranormal... but plenty of material for an amusing podcast... I'll try and get it edited together and uploaded by this evening.

Ha.. 6th and Stevenmu really sound like they know what they're talking about.

stormkeeper

That they do... I think I rubbed off on them just a tad

Nah, seriously, I think both of them are very competant with this sort of thing. I had no concerns whatsoever regarding them organising and heading up the investigation. It's always been a pleasure working with both of them

I can't wait to hear the podcast btw.

Nick: I haven't seen you in ages man! You still volunteering at the castle these days?

New_Departure06

Maybe you could have a seance next time.

monkeyfudge

Just going through my photos now... nothing interesting...

But this is a nice photo though...

If you look closer you'll see its only a reflection of the tree tops and the sun!

monkeyfudge

Oh... and here you can see the crack team of 'experts' taking a bit of a break.



I'll try and have the podcast recording up before I go to bed this evening.

stormkeeper

Goofing off on the job, eh?

6th

Despite the setbacks i think this was another good trip. I'll post properly on it later but I personally got alot out of it. Was nice to have some things from the last trip confirmed or at least backed up by someone who hadnt been before.

A few shared experiences during the night too which were very self confirming.

Saying that I will not be involved in another trip to Charleville for the next few months - was too busy and will be until all the festivals are out of the way.

Big thanks to Stevenmu for everything & to MonkeyFudge, KatieK, Brian, Grimes, Leanne and Saruman.
And of course to all the well wishers here too

monkeyfudge

I don't supose either 6th or Steven have one of my DV tapes? I recorded two tapes over the evening and I can only lay my hands on one of them.

It was a JVC tape... with the footage I shot during the day on it.

No label on it of course.... I'm simply that efficient

If you could have a look and see if it got mixed up with your collections that would be great... I may have just misplaced it when I unpacked at home... so hopefully I didn't leave it at the castle.

stormkeeper

I take it you won't be able to make the August one then? If not, that's cool. That said though, I was entertaining holding one in September instead as an opportunity for me to go to Sweden has popped up, and I want to take advantage of it... there would be an opportunity to go next month, but it is a bit late to start planning, plus I have made other arrangements that month.

6th

I'm not touching the place til at least September - as it is i feel bad for bringing people to the place under the idea we would have the freedom of the place.

MonkeyFudge - I havent fully emptied my bag yet but will keep an eye out for it. Should be clearing it out tonight. I'm pretty sure we got everything when we were leaving so i'm sure its anot at the castle.

Grimes: Did you leave ur laptop charger there?

Welll, I believe that settles it then... I'll arrange an investigation for September instead, and I'll make sure that we have complete freedom of the place!

That would be best, I think... plus it gives us plenty of time to arrange something! You wouldn't be up for a Greet & Grub a week or two before the investigation would you?

What group did you go with, may I ask?

Sorry it took a while for me to get back to you, as I was busy with a lot of things. I was on the 2nd or 3rd investigation to Charleville back in July 2004. I was the girl who was on the train going down there, with yourself and 3 of the other guys, one of them was Malico. I don't really want to shout out my real name on these boards, but I am sure from the above description you can figure out who I was lol! If you want verification just send me a PM. I have'nt been able to post much or go on as many investigations as I had hoped, but I hope all that will change as I would love to get more involved in the paranormal investigations. If the investigation in September is an open one, Myself and my fiance would be very interested in coming along.

Hi Lads, only getting online now. I enjoyed it all, felt like a real kid, staying up all night Nothing much in our photos, loads of orbs from my hubbys photos, but I think you can safely say that must be down to the camera. My camera took one shot with so many orbs it looks like someone sneezed on the lens.. Id take that as proof they have no paranormal origin!

The automatic writing was fun, even tho my hands wouldnt stop shaking (with cold!) fair play to ya 6th for all the work you went to... next time try it with pens

Thanks to all the people involved, it was great to meet you all.

6th

Oh a good bit before you arrived...

The cheeseburgers were nice, but the chips were terrible.

Great coffee though...

6th... I can probably get that tape off you thursday evening if you are around?

6th

Sounds good. As for thursday I'm heading out of the City Centre at 5.30 sharp as i'm on baby duty that night. Pm me an address i can get it too and i'll post it in the morning. Either that our i can drop it off on the bike some lunch time?

Riamfada

Mark did you have anything turn up ? Im sorry If im hounding you but with a flat battery on my camera i dont have anything to sift through

6th

Am loading up all 3 videos i have plus 3 audio tapes. i didnt actually take much in the way of photos though and what i have shows nothing at first glance.
I will have video footage up of the automatic writing by tonight and some other video footage.

Its a case of getting it all on the Mac first.

GuanYin

does all this go up on 6thsensitive?

6th

No not at all. I put up my stuff but its all up to the individuals. I'll host stuff no problem if people want but we're not actually a group as such. More a group of individuals.

6th

ok seems to have died off, does anyone have anything to put up?

I've nothing in what few photos i took and am still going through video footage. The spanish ruined alot of the audio recording as they were too loud.

Here's a few nice photos though:

New_Departure06

That an orb in photo 2? Seems to have an eye.

6th

yes its definately 100% an Orb ... now whether its paranormal or not who knows? i tend to think not.

You have to presume verything has a reasonable explaination and work with what you have.

Riamfada

can anyone post up or link to any of their pictures? paranormal or otherwise?

Saruman

One of these days i will get around to uploading them

6th

ok i'll do it tonight, i've spotted nothing in my still images but as i've seen recently, i dont spot everything!

mysteria

I visited Charleville Castle last Monday with Warren Coates and N.I.P.R.A. and Kathy, founder of Paranormal Ireland. We conducted a brief investigation 2 to 3 hours or so and one of Warren's group captured an amazing image on the spiral staircase. I'm waiting for them to send a copy and will post it on the board if anyone would like to see it.

6th

What was the conditions of the picture being taken? Were there "feelings" that caused someone to take the picture?

6th

ok i put a couple more pics from this investigation up on the gallery section of my site: http://www.6thsensitive.com/gallery.html

Still havent seen anyone elses yet
