Ghost Hunting at Whittington Castle, Oswestry, with the Simply Ghost Nights team.

It was a cloudless night when the team arrived at this haunted location situated in Oswestry just on the English and Welsh borders. The castle itself was now a museum and during the day was open to the public, but tonight the Simply Ghost Nights team were hoping for only the visitors to be of a ghostly nature.
After an initial walk around the various buildings of the castle, it was clear that we were not alone, we all felt that we were been followed and watched and our feelings were to proven correct because as we walked down a flight of stairs three of the team, Stuart, Mark and Philip saw the dark shadow of a man move from left to right on the staircase and then vanish. The team were so excited at this revelation that on returning to the café to have a coffee break we could not wait to resume our paranormal investigation of Whittington Castle.
We decided to hold our first vigil in the Coffee shop area of the Castle, this area was the oldest of part of the castle, as we carried out temperature checks in the coffee shop, Rosey declared that there had been numerous temperature spikes in the passing seconds as the temperature gun had stated 18 degrees and had gone down to 11 degrees, before going upto 20 degrees and the weather outside was quite fair for the month of May.
As the team carried out a table tipping experiment, Tony a first time ghost hunter squealed in delight as the table tipped alarmingly into his legs as we had requested the spirit world to do. The ghostly inhabitants of this former castle continued to entertain us with their power and facility to remember our names as we asked the spirits to tip the table to each of us by name.
We then ventured upstairs of the castle the group were staggered to hear the deathly groan coming from within the vigil room, at the same time we noticed some spiking on then K2 meters, we then asked for tapping or knocking on the table, after a few minutes the spirit world dully obliged and we had the most wondrous tapping on request the Simply Ghost Nights team had heard.
With the nights excitement drawing to a close the ghostly population of Whittington Castle had one more incident in store for us, Rosey suddenly said “who’s pulled my hair” everyone said “not me” as one, and no one was within 3 foot of Rosey as she described that something had tugged at the side of her hair, none of the group could not feasibly have done this without Rosey seeing the culprit, this left Rosey shaken as she knew that her hair had in fact been pulled by the unseen hands of the paranormal world.
