Walkabout Report
St. Peter's and Mockett's Wood
Thursday 19th June, 2008.
Group: Sarah, Sue, Dawn, Bob,
Julie and Paul.
Wrtten by Bob.
20:20
Commenced walkabout with a stroll around
the churchyard.
20:41
At the arch, Sarah sensed a female presence,
wearing a long black dress which extended to the ground with a white
pinafore over the top. Sarah couldn't see anything above this.
Sue had a feeling of great sadness.
Towards the rear of the churchyard,
Sue felt the presence of a male named "James".
20:50
Pictured below - two photos of the sunset
taken 3 minutes apart, each showing what appears to be a "black
object" (uncertain if this is a product of the camera?).

Made our way to Mockett's Wood.
21:37
Once in the woods and close to the far side
near to the circle of tree trunks, Dawn picked-up on a boy named "James"
or "Jamie" who she felt was aged between 15 and 16. Sue
felt this was the same "James" she had detected earlier
in the churchyard and he had followed us into the woods.
21:45
Approaching the circle of tree trunks, Sarah
sensed a bearded male who was wearing white gloves.
21:58
As we came around the track to turn right,
Bob and Julie simultaneously saw a figure on the footpath to the left
and Julie also heard a hum in her ear - insect?
Although brief, Bob got the impression this figure was a male, light
in colour with broad shoulders.
Having made our way to the location of the sighting, there was no
physical person evident in the vicinity.
Sarah took several photographs shortly afterwards showing various
light anomalies in this area (pictured below).

The temperature was also felt to have
dropped significantly but this could have been natural as there
was less vegetation in this area to screen us from the breeze.

an insect?).

Still stood in this area, Sue and Dawn simultaneously
sensed an "Arthur" to be present, Sue felt he was laughing
at us.
After this event, Bob was dictating this into his voice recorder as
notes for this report. Between finishing doing so and switching the
recorder off, a possible EVP was captured - sounding like a male voice
whispering "Arthur wake up":

Note: a week or so later Bob
returned to the churchyard and located a gravestone inscribed to an
"Arthur Mockett" - the family associated with this woodland.
22:04
Bob briefly detected an unusual smell which
he thought resembled either Jeyes Fluid or new leather.
22:08
Sarah was still sensing the bearded male
and then heard a cough.
Sue picked-up on a man who had a connection to horses, he had rolled-up
shirt sleeves and was wearing, what she described as, something similar
to a long, brown leather waistcoat - Bob suggested possibly a blacksmith
/ farrier and what Sue was seeing was a leather apron?
22:10
Bob got a touching sensation in his lower
back, no one was close enough to have knocked him and there were no
branches or other objects which could have been responsible.
Sue asked-out and immediately Sarah felt a cold sensation on her back.
Several of the group reported hearing indistinct whispering.

With the voice recorder running, an
EVP session was commenced during which questions were asked
and requests for speech were made.
As Bob asked for the year, Sarah sensed "1815".
Later examination of this recording revealed nothing unusual.

an insect?).
