History
The R.a.o.b. club has a very interesting past. it is now a place where people come to socialize and enjoy a drink and entertainment but it served another purpose previously. In the middle of the last century it was a private home and solicitors office. It was owned by a lady called miss buckle. Miss buckle spent many years here until she decided to sell the property. She only did this on the proviso that it was used for its current use .the building had a concert room built on what was the courtyard at the back but the house and office part remains intact.
Reported activity
Many people throughout the years have claimed that miss buckle as made her presence known. One such person was a former treasurer he informed us that one night after locking the club and leaving he was walking past the back of the building. He said he seen the figure of a elderly woman in the window on the second floor he had locked the building empty.
Another gentleman said he had come out of the clubs toilet and was greeted by a lady who was walking up its staircase. The woman said good night to him. He later asked the clubs steward when did the club become residential he was informed it had not and there was no lady by his description present that night.
Mediums walk
Chris body our resident medium took us up to the first floor. He informed us that books and numbers was prominent in this area. He felt that a lady was presenting her self to him in spirit he described her as a matriarch person who was wearing a brown cardigan. She had grey hair that was tied up in a bun style.
Vigils
The team split up at various times for set vigils. Nothing was caught on sound or tape unusual and the investigation had only two incidents of note but were both very interesting.
While Pete and Dave were at the bottom of the staircase they both smelt what they described as a lavender based perfume the odour lasted about 30 seconds then disappeared. They checked to see if the smell could have come from a storeroom or the toilets but nothing could be found for the cause.
The second incident involved the trigger objects. These were old coins which were placed on the office table on the first floor. All the coins were circled accept for one which was placed next to the paper the coins were on. Towards the end of the investigation on inspection we found the separate coin was stacked on top of a token coin. We could find no explanation for this as we did not see any token coin when we set the trigger objects in place.
Summary
Due to not finding any evidence on tape or film we are unable to say that paranormal activity is present at the R.a.o.b. although the incidents that did take place were interesting they could not be considered as conclusive. The R.a.o.b club is a fascinating building and is worthy of further investigation.
