CASE PHOTOS AND INFORMATION

The current owners, who are restoring the castle to it's former glory, told us that ghost is supposed to be that of Bill Beatty the architect of this 17th century replica of a French Normandy Castle, who unfortunately died before its completion.

The SJGR team picked up on a tremendous amount of psychic impressions. One of the main impressions was an immense amount of residual energy which could be attributed to the age of the home in addition to events that have occurred on the land where the castle was built. The Ballroom housed the majority of the activity. Many of the investigators were touched and tapped many times in this area. The scent of alcohol was picked up upon the walkthrough prior to us being told that it used to be a ballroom. The spirit of a soldier was also obtained in the Ballroom and appeared to be frightened and lost. The team also obtained some positive photos and an EVP. There were also 2 EMF fluctuations that could not be explained or traced to a natural source.
