History.
A tragic story is attached to the history of this public house. On the land at the back of this hostelry was a mine known as the diamond pit.on feb 6th 1858 the pit which had a workforce of about two hundred men and boys was shaken by a huge explosion.half of the workforce were trapped at the bottom of the shaft which had a 470 yards drop.despite the efforts of the local people to rescue the trapped many of the workforce underground perished.two local public houses cellars were used as temporary morgues for the poor victims.one of these was the halfway house.
Team,peter,ian,darren
Medium,chris body
Also present was the landlady and 4 guests.
The team first set up the sound beams near the toilet entrance.then trigger objects were placed.these were coins near the bar and a pint glass on the bar.
Emf and temp readings were then taken and the investigation began
Mediums walk
As always the medium present [chris body] was given no prior information of the location and not informed of its name and whereabouts until on arrival.
Chris started by gathering everyone together in the bar area.he felt as sense of depression.he that seven people had drowned nearby .the number seven was important .chris then said he could taste sulphur.
Everybody went down to the cellar next. Chris again relayed to us that the people he had mentioned upstairs was forefront in his mind.just before chris finished ian said he could hear some noises from behind where he was standing.immediately a sighing noise was heard by most present.during the walk the landlady was seen to be visibly upset and had removed herself from the group. Two of the team spoke to her privately. She said that when the medium talked about seven people drowning she was overwhelmed with sadness as she knew that during the tragedy that this number of people had drowned in a rescue attempt.
S.p.I believe working with a medium is a big part of investigating the paranormal. We leave it to the people attending and whoever reads this to draw their own conclusions as to a mediums ability to communicate with spirits.

Loud thudding noise his heard in cellar storeroom. Pete asks for whoever is there to come forward.a second bang follows .
The sound of a barrel being dragged and moved is heard .
Summary
The halfway house proved to be an excellent investigation.
It was an emotional experience for the landlady and the guests . The sound of the barrel moving in the cellar is something that is difficult to explain as there was nobody in the area they are stored.
The team thank our hosts at the halfway house for a great night.
