I have recently taken up with a ghost hunt group. They let me wander around the places they have hired for the night & I pay for the priviledge by letting them use my pictures. This gives me access to some very unusual sites apres midnight and leads to some interesting encounters especially as I wear black and can move almost silently (apart from the clanking of my camera equiptment!). On numerous occasions I have materialised in a doorway waiting for someone to finish their conversation with the other side only to scare the crap out of them when someone in the group notices me. I'm too polite (english) & don't like announcing my self as that would also scare the crap out of some one. Any road I have been here 3 times - twice at night & once in the day.

When I was here in the day I met 2 tresspassers who had come across the river in their canoes. They used to visit this place as teenagers and had been in the main building before Granada TV set the place alight making a Sherlock Holmes film called The Last Vampire. The opening credits show the pyrotechnics but Elf & safety haden't researched the construction of the place properly & the fire spread through hidden beams in the walls. That cost the insurance £250,000 - oops!
The place is owned by the Masons so on the tour you can see what an active Masonic Lodge is like but that's not the derelict part - this is.
& then there is this - not technically derelict but I was well spooked the first time I went into it. When I went back for the second night the guests (of the ghost hunt group) were amazed I was quite happy to be here on my own in the dark with just my camera equiptment it being the most active paranormal part of the whole estate.....But then again at this level of the paranormal I have a hide like a rhino.......
