Consider The Drill Hall Winsford to be absolutely dangerous.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY: The hall was build and opened in 1901 and ready for the soldiers of Winsford returning from the Boer War. In 1930 it became a cinema and in the 1970's a Bingo Hall which it has remained up to 2005. In 1916 a river boat sank in the flash's and six people died including a Mrs. Lightfoot, aged 38, who had seven children. Her husband was away fighting in the first world war. All six bodies were taken to The Drill Hall.
In recent years the hall fell into disrepair and attempts made to save it from demolition. It is now a Grade 2 listed building. At the time of the investigation the hall had fallen into an even worse condition. An application to demolish the hall and build 31 flats has been approved.
Without question, this venue was the mostly active place we have ever encountered and that activity was very dark and demonic in nature. Every person, Investigators and Mediums, came away with some form of attachment including the following:
Severe back ache - Six people.
Severe burning to the back followed by scratching - One person (felt in the cellar)
Severe burning to front leg area and knees - One Person.
Severe head ache and hip pain (unable to walk) - One person.
Severe (partial possession) character changes to human hosts - Seven people.



From the moment we arrived at the venue, we experienced battery drain and failure on an unprecedented and massive scale. 16 separate known items of equipment, it was almost like everything you tried to use suffered battery failure. Some equipment using multiple batteries. For reasons of completeness the list is noted below. In all the years we have been investigating, we just do not suffer battery failure, it just doesn't happen. We test all our equipment batteries either on the day or the day before any investigation. The major concern for us; what needed this amount of energy?. As far as we were concerned, and had in fact been told, the venue had never been investigated before, so battery failure on this scale was unprecedented. What we didn't know and would not know for another 48 hours, the venue had been 'investigated' before, and on several occasions a Ouija board had been used. Activity had then escalated and why Laura Bailey and her team were brought in by the current owner of the building. The problem was, no one was aware until it was too late.

NOTE: It is common for batteries to fail and show zero charge during paranormal activity to then find the following day it's recovered. The only explanation is the battery is subjected to a sudden huge energy drain. In reported cases of actual attacks where the human has received burns, scratches and bites, many have reported battery failures prior to the attacks.
THE EVP CAPTURES SO FAR
The intention was to hold a seance to move this child on. A circle, very white in nature, with Laura in the centre and providing a safe place for any child spirit. Yet, Laura said it was not possible due to the child no longer being present. This brings a further question mark as to exactly what Laura and Amanda thought they had encountered. Remember, the activity was demonic and highly manipulative and relies on trickery and one of it's trends is to mimic and trap you into thinking a particular energy was innocent, and a common thread is using a disguise of a child either in voice or manifestation, even both.
FULL SPECTRUM MOVIE 1
A large number of photos were taken in the main hall. Out of this series of photos two stood out as strange. On the first two photos below, a large blue anomaly is present in the air, it also appears to be in the centre of a tube running from the ceiling to the floor the next two photos taken show this anomaly on the ground. The photos before and after these shots show nothing. The two photos to the right of each one is when colour contrasting is added. Blue is spiritually associated with psychic energy and truth. It is a very calming color, and many people associate it with spiritual guidance.





Investigator: Andy - A feeling of extreme anger with people in the building within 10 minutes of arrival. At times wanting to hurt people.
Medium: Rachel - Feeling angry with anyone who spoke during the investigation.
Investigator: Amanda - Bursts of deep emotional feelings. Would clear once outside the building. A feeling of fear for 4 days following the investigation.
Investigator: Tony - Feeling fear and being watched for 48 hours following the investigation. Cleared after a few days.
Medium: Amy - After being 'over-shadowed' felt the need to snarl. Managed to clear the feeling.
Suffering Nightmares within the first 48 hours following the event:
1. Rachel.
2. Tony.


The main hall had no heating on for some years, it was also in the middle of the hall where you would expect the temperature to remain stable. People were not close enough to the equipment to make any difference. We have not seen this behaviour before and we have used this method a number of times.
If anything, you would expect the temperature to fall not rise.
We have decided to add these events to this report due to the bizarre nature of all four events. It may mean nothing, but it may mean something.
In spiritual practice, green is associated with the heart. It is also associated with nature. Green orbs are sometimes thought to be an indication of the presence of a human spirit, as opposed to one that was never on Earth in human form. Likewise, green orbs may represent love or oneness with nature.


The photo shows a black shadow and of human shape, against the back pillar to the left of the photo. Clear black lines can be seen in front of the shadow. We have no idea what these lines are, some sort of energy vapor?. Looking to the cropped photo to the right of the main photo, you will note at the top of the pillar what appears to be a face or head. The face/head could be just down to 'Pareidolia' But the black shadow and lines can not be debunked.



The photo to the right was taken by Kirsty 4 weeks later, 28 October 2017 and on the night of the investigation, this shows the same area. No marks of any sort can be seen and considered to be the cause of the black lines.
One thing which is impossible to capture as evidence is a 'feeling', you have to be at the location to sense it. Mediums, developing or experienced, use energy as a source of information. As investigators, we don't really have feelings, but more often than not, we can sense something, like we did when we first entered the projector room area.
When we looked at the photographs Kirsty kindly supplied to us, we do agree that something appears to be standing to the left of the doors. It's also on all five photos, which rules out dust or some other form of contamination. We do have a number of theories what this anomaly could be, and one being a torch being shone from behind one of the door windows which reacts to the camera flash being used. But there are problems with this idea, if it was the case only the square area of the window would be seen, yet on close examination a misty anomaly of human shape is present, head to toe.
Kirsty maintains apart from the guy sat on the chair no one else was present when the photos were taken, she remembers this clearly.
We took one of the photos and used filters to see if this could uncover anything. The photo below is when the colour in enhanced.



The photo left is the same photo but with the image spectrum inverted.
It is clear something is present but we have no idea what it is. Due to not being a clear image and the possibility of a natural reason we have decided to class this as 'UNEXPLAINED' but given the nature of the drill hall, very likley to be Paranormal.
We are also aware that the person being blamed by the owner for the activity also has an investigation of his own planned in early December 2017. Why is he still being allowed in the place?. This same guy had also been invited by the owner to attend our investigation but Laura Bailey intervened and stopped that from happening. Why did he wish to attend Laura's event? Was it to witness a high number of being being subjected to demonic attack?
We are also aware of a possible return to the Drill Hall being planned to try and address the activity but using just investigators and mediums. We don't even know if the December event has even been cancelled where 'Joe Public 'is being asked to pay £25.00 to attend - why would you want to investigate it again to help the owner when he has full knowledge a further public event being planned in December?.
We have never investigated a venue that has captured so much evidence and all that evidence points to the activity as demonic. We also know we are not being told the full story and that leaves us thinking; Why is that the case?

It's been excepted for some years that the ancients built certain sites in particular areas and without the aid of global satellites or mapping. There are literally thousands of such sites throughout the world that link up in graph form, suggesting it's just a big coincidence is a big stretch.
Many high level spiritualists work with the earth energies. Mediums themselves work with energies. As an investigation team, we receive approx six requests per week for help with what they feel is paranormal activity. The first thing we do is to check the location for mobile phone masts including Airwave as well as electrical pylons. Any of these will change the magnetic field of the location. The scientific name for this is 'Geopathic Stress'. Further information can be found by visiting out sister site EVP UK and following this LINK

Two of the widely excepted symptoms of high level contamination of EMF are feelings of 'ill-ease' and seeing 'black lines' and 'dark shadows'. I have no doubt you will have seen the paranormal connection and why we check the data bases for masts and pylons when we are first contacted.
Everyone connected to spiritualism excepts that spirits are energy. Some feel this energy contains the essence (the persons individuality) and the memory of the person who has passed. To do things they need energy, they don't have a energy containment system like a human, so continued energy is needed to do certain things; manifest, communicate and move items. This is why investigators use EMF meters to record measurements, the belief is when a spirit is active, readings can be recorded indicating changes to the localised EMF. We have experienced readings from a small change to high levels of more than 30 mg. It is why we use a high number of EM Pumps, these devices emit EMF, a sort of 'spirit top up'. In March 2017, we attended a business in Northwich Cheshire, that was having 'issues'. Using a Kinetic tracking system (XCAM) we captured an entity for a approx 5 seconds before it disappeared. We then started an EM Pump and sometime later an entity appeared and remained there for several minutes and no more than 2 feet away from the EM Pump. (see movie below) This is considered to be the worlds longest manifestation capture on record and shows clearly how a spirit can use energy.
It is plausible, that somehow, a crack has been opened into the earths energy lines, it would explain the level of activity experienced. This has also clearly opened up some form of bad vortex allowing the dark entities to travel freely. What that guy called upon when conducting his satanic rituals we may never know, what isn't in dispute is what has happened.
There are two thoughts on what to do next. Some feel the location can never be healed, I don't agree with that view. What is opened can be closed, it's just the knowledge to do so that is hard to find.
In my view the location may need two different types of individuals to heal the Drill Hall. The first stage is someone who has experience with spirit and entity removal as well as energy re-balance. The second stage if issues are still present after this clearance, would be a experienced 'Demonologist'. In both cases, it's not going to be cheap. If the Drill Hall is at some point demolished and made a grass field again, not a problem, it's rectified itself. But redeveloping the building without eradicating the activity first, will bring issues until such time it's carried out.
