George and Dragon at Fordwich

 

Saturday 12th November 2005. Ghost Search.

My researchers were unable to find any documented history on The George & Dragon, yet have unearthed a little history on Fordwich itself.... The George and Dragon was built around the 15th century and lies in the village of Fordwich. Fordwich was described in the doomsday book as a 'small burgh', one of only seven boroughs in Kent. By the 11th century Fordwich became self governing. In the village you can find a ducking chair and it is believed that women accused of witchcraft were ducked here. In 1944 The George & Dragon was used externally for a movie called 'Canterbury Tales', the main star and film crew stayed at The George & Dragon whilst filming took place. Within The George & Dragon energy was found to be high, not just due to the residential Spirit, but ley lines are also to be found running through the property, which for Mediums, is great as Spirit have an on line supply of energy to work off. I was also intrigued to hear about a cupboard that house's a public telephone (now used as a storage space, phone still in situ), there are times when this phone rings...yet the phone is not connected?! Throughout this building Spirit roam quite freely, in the kitchen I was to meet a young lad of thirteen who thought it funny to run up and down the kitchen itself banging and moving objects, staff have reported they feel an 'energy' pass by and that equipment and appliances do have a 'mind of their own'. In the dinning room I was met by a gentleman who stood 5' 8" to 5' 9" in height, he was a military man who rode on horse back. This man brings a sadness with him, he told me he took his own life by falling on his sword the reason as yet, unknown, but he gave me the year of 1845. Still in the dinning area there are an additional three Spirit's, one male, two female. I could clearly feel that poltergeist activity takes place here, to which the staff agreed things have a habit of moving and guests have reported seeing a 'ghost' in the area. In the rooms upstairs, to which we have full access to, you will find a number of male energies. In one of the self contained flats you will find a male energy who likes to act tough, he gives off energy as being strong and powerful, we shall see on the night just how powerful he is! This is a great place to explore for Spiritual evidence, lots of active Spirit who all seemed very eager to step forward and be noticed, I anticipate a productive night whilst staying at The George & Dragon.

 

The Investigation Report

If I said that we as a team enjoyed this investigation I would be a liar. We found that most of the guests were hard to work with, so many had closed minds and were despondent before the investigation started. Despite what you may think this does have a detrimental effect on Spirit’s ability to step near, negative thinking builds up a barrier that Spirit find hard to over come and Mediums to work through. We felt so much potential evidence was lost.

We welcome the non believer, all we ask is you have an open mind to the possibility of...

This report will be short, for myself there was only one room that offered 'something', this was due to Spirit thinning guests numbers down leaving those with 'open' minds.

 

In the flat above The George & Dragon I took a small number of guests to one of the back rooms as the energy felt very high. There were originally six guests, who accompanied me, and we all found the room began to get darker as we opened up to work. This occurred at the same time three male energy’s joined us in the room. The guests with me had their arms moved by Spirit and the atmosphere changed rapidly. Several of the guests had to leave the room because they felt scared. One of the male energies said “Then there were five”, (he indicated to the number of guests left in the room). He continued counting down each time a guest vacated the room. I felt 'something' in my hair and lifted my hand to touch it; a number of guests saw lights around my head at that time. It was also pointed out by the guests that the light from the two way radio appeared to be turning off and on, as if someone was walking in front of it. The three male energies were afraid to cross over for fear of retribution, they were criminals and had abused young boys/men alongside murdered a number of people. I was then shown a scene where a man (who had discovered what they were doing with young boys and threatened to report them to the Police) was forced in to a barrel to which the lid was then nailed down, leaving the man to die slowly. I was given a date and an area to which this had taken place (not revealed due to sensitivity). The guests were very aware of intense cold spots throughout this description that I was relaying. Two of my guests (one male, one female said they could feel an energy coming in close to them but then seemed to back off. I asked the Spirits why they did this, to which the male energies said they didn’t like 'the law' (as in people). It turned out that both guests worked for the Police!

Only two surnames were caught on cam 'Raymond’s' and 'Richmond', the tape ended before the third was given: to which I cannot recall the surname given, sorry. Throughout our time in this room lights were seen darting about the room, intense cold spots were felt, drafts blew past people and a heavy atmosphere was also felt.

Table tilting and glass movement were good.
