14th May 2006
Location: Sydney's outer region (further details withheld due to owner's request)
Time: 11:00pm - 1:45am
Conditions: clear and cold, full moon, no wind.

As we arrived, a dark and daunting late 19th century mansion greeted us with a long white staircase. Surrounded by elaborate arches, the mansion's blackened windows gave us a brief insight of the inhospitable darkness we were about to encounter.
The crew entered into a large open hallway, with our cameras set on night mode and only a handful of small torches partially illuminating our way in. Inside was large and impressive, yet certain areas seemed original and derelict. Large bulky wooden staircases at each end of the building linked the two levels together

There were many large rooms opening from the hallways, each incorporating a fireplace. We began to survey the entire interior to understand the floor plan and to conduct a baseline analysis with the EMI meter. Creaking stairs led us to the second level where we continued to document and measure variances.
As the crew moved back down stairs, Darren and I set up items of interest to encourage interaction, as well as an IC recorder at the staircase to record any subliminal sounds (EVP) and a camera aimed across the hallway.

We joined the crew and placed ourselves around what appeared to be a lounge area. This room was chosen because the temperature was relatively warmer than anywhere else in the residence. Again, two video cameras were set up, a bionic ear to identify the slightest disturbances and a sound activated note taker. No results were produced in this room.

Our next area of interest was the hallway in the lower level. A number of our members submitted questions to any present astral entities and asked to answer by producing sound or movement. It wasn't until we played back the surveillance video and the sound recorder did we realise that our questions were being acknowledged and subsequently recorded by the surveying equipment on upper level of the building.

Continuing upstairs I noted that the EMI meter in the southern room had spiked (5 - 10 milligauss) where the previous baseline analysis produced no readings. Furthermore, the temperature had suddenly dropped. Some of our crew felt a cold 'whisk' brush past them. No windows were opened in the room itself.

The questions began … and they were answered by a tap on the window behind us. This confirmation of an astral presence did chill some of our members. The answers were basically acknowledging the presence of an entity, he/she did not want us in the particular room but rather in another room where a knocking sound was produced.
Two of our members left and we continued in the requested room with a séance. It was here where one member was poked gently in the back.

After the séance, everyone had difficulties obtaining their balance. Some of us felt the need to sit down in order to recover.
Another attempt to establish communication was conducted in a north facing room where most of us felt an oppressing sensation. Here a few light anomalies were recorded by camera. But the most impressive and powerful encounter occurred when Laszlo tracked a bright anomaly heading towards him. He was suddenly overwhelmed by a cold and depressing feeling and gradually broke down emotionally. Just then, a hideous moan echoed through the hallway. Was this the emergence of a theorised elemental? Whatever it was, we knew that we had outstayed our welcome … it was time to leave.

After we gathered our equipment and left respectfully, the time was 1:45am. The experience in the mansion was nothing less than incredible and produced some impressive results. We confirmed that there was at least the presence of a male and female entity, possibly a child and an unsavoury character that seemed to arrive between 1:15am and 1:30am.

This video (below) was taken at a later investigation. While conducting a vigil in one of the rooms on the upper level, one of our cameramen, Laszlo, recorded this incredible footage of what appears to be a vortex of some kind. The anomaly provides us with no natural explanation therefore it is safe to assume that we are dealing with something on a paranormal scale.
