I had first heard about the paranormal activity at Temple House from another ghost hunting team that I have regular correspondence with. They had told us of their investigation they had carried out weeks previously, and had produced some very interesting results. They wanted to go back there in a few months to continue their investigation. They asked me if I was interested in taking a look into the house, as another team verifying what they had found could be more effective. My interest had peaked, so I got my team together and we went to the location to see what it had in store for us.

The place itself is an old building that had been built in the early nineteenth century as a home for a local dignitary. Although the outside had the look of a building that had been standing around for many years its interior was one newly furnished offices and top of the range equipment.

Dr. Katherine Copeland, our parapsychologist, carried out her usual tests, but came back with very little in the way of anything abnormal on either the thermometer or on the Gauss meter. She did warn us that the electromagnetic fields around would be from the equipment that was plugged in. It was decided that the gauss meter would be useless in these surroundings, and it was decided that we would not take them with us.

The team had Annabel Keogh our medium try and contact some of the spirits that still may be lurking around in the building and this was where things got a little interesting.

She had picked up on the name 'Alice Carruthers'. This is the name that the previous team had picked up on also. She was a girl who had been working at the house as a maid to the original owner. Apparently she had become pregnant by the owners son after a brief affair. Instead of and help and support, she was pushed down some stairs by the son, who saw this situation as embarrassing and worried about his standing in the community.

We all agreed that we would carry out our investigation around the stairs, as Ann had informed us that she felt no other spirit presences in the building, but that Alice was causing some paranormal activity in an attempt let the living know she was here. Ann also said that she could help the young female spirit find her way to the other side, once our investigation had been completed. With this in mind, we set up our equipment, then waited to see what the night in the house had in store for us.
