Location: Lowes Stand, Hoyland, Barnsley

Date: 20 January 2007

Time: 1800 Hours

E.M.F. Reading: 0.0

Temperature reading: 3.4 Degrees Centigrade

Investigators: Richard, Joe, Mike

Equipment used: E.M.F, Digital Cameras, Night Vision Camcorders, Digital Voice Recorder, Thermometer, Torches.

Experiments: None

Over view:

Lowes Stand is just outside Hoyland in Barnsley and was built in 1720, Rotherham-ghosts have received a number of alleged sightings here, including lights coming from the tower and strange mist in the neighbouring grave yard.

The Investigation:

Upon arriving at the location, it was a very cold and windy night, we started by getting ourselves familiar with the area before settling down to conduct the vigil.

The main areas we were concentrating on were the Tower and the grave yard.

We started the first vigil at the tower itself, strange noises could be heard but due to the bad weather we had to dismiss any noises and movements we witnessed.

A further vigil took place in the grave yard, but high winds were preventing us from conducting any form of investigation.

Conclusion:

The Rotherham-ghosts team decided to leave the area around 19:15 hours a little disappointed with their results of the evening. Even though they did hear some strange noises. We do intend on visiting this location again when the weather is better. For another try.

The Video Report

Location: Rockleigh Furnace, Hoyland, Barnsley

Date: 20 January 2007

Time: 2230 Hours

E.M.F. Reading: 0.0

Temperature reading: 3.4 Degrees Centigrade

Investigators: Richard, Joe, Mike

Equipment used: E.M.F, Digital Cameras, Night Vision Camcorders, Digital Voice Recorder, Thermometer, Torches.

Experiments: None

Overview:

Rockleigh Furnace is just outside Hoyland in Barnsley, and Rotherham-ghosts have received a number of alleged sightings here, including a man at work at the furnace itself and local residents reporting strange light coming from the tower.

The Investigation:

Upon arriving at the location, it was a very cold and windy night, we started by getting ourselves familiar with the area before settling down to conduct the vigil.

The main areas we were concentrating on were the Tower and the Furnace just through the woodland area.

We started the first vigil at the furnace itself, where a strange orb was captured on camera, this wasn’t noticed at the time the film was taken. This is the same area where a man walking his dog reported seeing another man at work, “described has from another time”. Due the high winds that evening and the motorway traffic passing close by. It was very difficult to conduct a vigil. so we had to dismiss any noises and movements we witnessed.

A further vigil took place around the in tower, to see if we could see the reported lights that had been seen by the local residents, again due to the adverse weather it and motorway traffic we found it very difficult to pin point any paranormal activity. However, the group did keep seeing a lot of movement outside the doorway of the tower, but again had to dismiss this due to the passing traffic and the head light reflections coming through the woods.

Conclusion:

The Rotherham-ghosts team left the area around 0110 hours a little disappointed with their results of the evening. But did see movements and on reviewing their video footage caught a strange orb object on tape. We do intend on visiting this location again when the weather is better. For another try.
