Orford Castle – an update and unexpected response from English Heritage relating to Laura’s discovery

Image
A couple of months have passed since our visit to Orford Castle back in August, which have proved eventful on many levels. Our visit appears to have left its mark upon Laura, with more information coming to her on a regular basis, even though we haven’t been anywhere near the castle since. This stream of information subsequently led to a further visit over the weekend, which we will write about in another post in the near future, but there have been far more interesting developments in respect of Laura’s discovery at the Castle back in August, which we briefly touched upon in our blog about our visit at the time ( click here ). To recap, this is what we wrote: “Whilst she was in the chamber, Laura suddenly felt that she had to go to a particular location in the Keep to find ‘something’. The feeling was very intense and conveyed a matter of urgency in the task – she needed to find ‘it’. Leaving the Well Room, Laura returned to the Lower Hall and found herself ...

The fallacy of relying upon third party data – The Bull Hotel, Long Melford, Suffolk.

Image
In most of our accounts that we have published, we often only hint at what we have recorded or found during our visit to a location. This intention is deliberate as, from a paranormal perspective, the information is no more, nor no less reliable than any other paranormal account you may read and, more importantly, if we do discover something that is different to what everyone else is reporting, we don’t want to put it in the public domain in case it ‘influences’ anyone else who follows us at a location.  We wouldn’t wish to put words in anyone else’s mouth would we? One such case that springs immediately to mind was our visits to The Bull Hotel, in the sleepy village of Long Melford, of Lovejoy fame, where what we found was different to all the published accounts you can read. What we found there was completely at odds to everything else that went before us. In spite of this, we were able to validate our ‘discoveries’, thanks to a respected local historian and hi...

The search for the legendary Scrapfaggot Green

When writing a blog about your experiences, it is inevitable that you sometimes unintentionally give the impression that the paranormal exists around every corner. To put it bluntly, it isn’t, if it exists at all, it’s about as rare as gnat’s teeth. That’s exactly why it’s called the paranormal. If it was an everyday occurrence, then it would just be considered ‘normal’ and we probably would have never had heard of Yvette Fielding after she left Blue Peter. The following account is just an illustration of how a lot of research turns out – unfortunately working in the paranormal field isn’t about chasing shadows at 3am in the morning, it’s about pouring over dusty, out of print books and reports, looking for obscure accounts that will assist you with a case, or even flag possible new cases to research and investigate. However, even if turns out that there is nothing worth researching, the work that you have undertaken can sometimes reward you in different ways, such a...

Orford Castle Keep, Suffolk (United Kingdom) - 25th August 2015

Image
Orford Castle Keep After a dull start to the day weather-wise, we decided to pop over the border to Suffolk and pay a visit to Orford Castle, on the East Anglian Coast. We’d both visited the location in the past, but we hadn’t been for a number of years, so it would be good to reacquaint ourselves with the Castle. To provide some background, Orford, these days, is a sleepy Suffolk village on the East Anglian Coast, about a 20 minute drive from Ipswich. However, back in its heyday in the middle ages, it was an important shipping port, so much to the extent that, in 1175, Henry II commenced work on his new castle, to consolidate his power in the region. Orford Castle is a bit of a misnomer as today, only the Keep remains - the curtain walls being robbed long ago in the 18 th century, after the port fell into decline following the silting up of the River Ore. This prohibited the entry to the port of the larger trading ships, sealing the fate of the town. In passing, it...
