Previously on the haunted hunts.

We're heading over now to the other side of the city to visit a location that

is the oldest coaching inn in Chester, we're gonna meet the manager there

and speak to a staff member who has had all types of paranormal experiences.

You'll never guess what?

What?

So, we've just been doing a little tour around the city

yeah?

Visiting different places and we went to a local graveyard

yeah?

And there, there's a grave stone with her name on.

Are you serious?

That says Mary Ann Cameron.

I told you.

Told ya.

Told ya, she's a spirit of the city.

Aggression.

Dan.

Does that mean somethings going on with Dan in room 11?

Ok that's picking up on a 5 degree drop in temperature,

my god what thehell was that!?

Really starting to feel the affects of consecutive investigations.

We've got another busy day ahead today, I'm gonna wake Beck up shortly, we've

gotta head over to the far north side of the city to the George and dragon

which is said to be really, really active.

It's said to have the sound of marching in the basement.

Then we've gotta check in with hq and see if they need US to go anywhere else.

I think I'll leave the team here today, Charlie, rox and em, reviewing everything.

Let's do this.

Our journey continues and after 3 nights of investigations, we are heading to the far north

of the city to the George and dragon pub which is situated just outside of the north gate

and is built on the old Roman road into Chester. It was Roman law that soldiers were not to be

buried within the city walls and it is believed many were laid to rest just outside the north gate

exactly where the George and dragon now sits.

Jeremy is the manager of the George and dragon and I was eager to speak to him

about the supposed paranormal activity that is said to occur at the location.

Jeremy you're the manager here at the George and dragon and I

have to admit we are coming into this investigation a little blind

we don't know much about the location, we've heard rumours of course

erm...but you're the manager here I understand that you lived on site.

I do, I do yeah.

Erm... so I was just wondering have you actually

ever witnessed any paranormal activity here?

I'm a bit of a sceptic in terms of you know, i'm, I've never really given ghostly

things much time I'll be honest, I'm a bit of a sceptic but I've been here 4 years

and when I came here I was aware off the rumours so some hotel

rooms upstairs are apparently haunted, the cellars haunted

and I thought nothing it and I'm not

scared and I'm not bothered about it at all

but when the pub closes at night and and and you're on your own, pubs make lots of

noises and I've never seen anything yet but I sit downstairs in the cellar in my office

and all of a sudden I have to think, did I hear something then? And I have to get

up off my chair and wander around and have a look and see if I can find anything

because I keep hearing stuff so, you think nothing of it and you sit back down and then you're

up and down again and again and again and all of a sudden you realise, this can't be me.

So I've never seen anything but I hear stuff.

What is it you actually hear?

I just hear stuff moving so it's like, it's like stuff falling off shelves

and stuff moving and so I go back and I see where the noises roughly come from

which will be at the other side of the cellar,

which it's quite a big open cellar downstairs

and I'll look around and everything's still

in it's place but I'll definitely hear stuff

and then, and then, and then recently what I've

done is I've been staying in some the hotel rooms

just to try them out to see what they're like for our

guests and what have ya to say I've stayed first hand

and you hear stuff all night walking up and down the... walking up and down,

walking up and down the erm... walking up and down, up and down the corridors.

So what you get is, you've got responsibility as a

manger to stay over and facilitate like fire regulations

of course yeah.

But, but I hear stuff and I'm like, I open the door and I walk

out, I look up and down the corridor and there's nothing there

and nobody's been and a couple of weeks ago on a sunday night I was

staying over and there was no hotel rooms in and I heard it all night

and I got out of the bed several times and I went, right

I'm gonna tell these customers to go back to bed and behave.

Yeah.

Because they're disturbing me and I went down and

I couldn't find them and it happened a couple times

and then the next morning I went downstairs and I checked my hotel register because

I thought I had guests there but I didn't, I had no guests, the hotel was empty.

So you were here on your own but you were hearing footsteps upstairs?

Yeah so, so I was in the hotel.

The hotel was actually empty but there was movement out on the thing so

normally I'd attribute it to other guests making noise and what have ya.

But there wasn't, there was absolutely no guests in the building.

Jeremy as a sceptic

yeah?

How do you feel when you experience stuff like that.That you can't

really explain? Does it make you question yourself? Does it....

Right so I'm a really logical person.

Of course.

So what I will do is I will try and find a logical answer to it, was it the water

boiler, is it a window that's been left open that the weathers blown it or something

you know, I will search for logical answers to unexplained things.

But... and its really peculiar when you start running out of logical answers

to those unexplained things it's really bizzarre and you then start to question

your own sanity to be honest but that's all,

I never see anything, hear stuff all the time.

Jeremy you spoke to our hq, you very kindly agreed for US to investigate this location

tonight, there are rumours that down in the basement there is the sound of marching feet

coming through the basement and we believe that this

location is possibly built on an old Roman burial site

do you know much about that or not?

I've hear the rumours so, so Chester obviously is an old city known as 'deva' in Roman

times and the walls surround the city and we are just on the ring road outside of the walls

and apparently you didn't Bury the people that were, that died

in the city in the city, you buried them just outside the walls.

Yeah.

And we are, we are on a major junction and in fairness now the pub is actually located within

a traffic island so it does kind of make logical sense that there would have been some kind of

burial place down below but that is the rumour and you know, I'm sure there's historical records

you know within the city walls in some of the archives that will probably demonstrate that yeah.

Brilliant.

Jeremy thank you so much, we cannot wait for tonight erm... we're gonna head

back to our hotel now, get the team together, we'll be back here later on

and of course we'll let you know if we capture

any paranormal activity here, thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

Cheers thank you.

Just before we head back to the hotel to brief the team,

Beck and I decide to check out the rest of the location.

It is at this point we bump in to one of the cleaners who does not wish

to be filmed but she tells US of her experiences at the George and dragon.

Yeah, there's couple of rooms but room 30 particularly is

quite an eerie room, our cleaning cupboards right near it

and quite often as we go to the cleaning cupboard you kinda step back

because you feel like somebody has just walked past the window...

Really?

In the room.

How long have you worked here?

Erm... coming up 5 years now.

Really? And you've experienced these things?

Yeah quite a few times to the point that I'm used to it now, I don't look back but I

quite often used to step back and be like, did somebody just walk past that window?

My god serious?

Yeah.

Well we'll let you know if we capture anything ok?

Ok.

Cheers.

What do you think of this place?

It's very different to some of the other places we've

been looking at but erm... there is a bit of a weird vibe.

Yeah definitely, you can sense the history of

this place really but speaking to Jeremy there...

Some pretty interesting phenomena and the fact that he's sceptic as well.

Yeah. Yeah.

That works quite well.

Really interested in the noise that he's hearing in the middle of the

night up on the corridors when there's nobody else in the building.

And obviously all the rumours about the marching through the cellar.

Yeah.

We are gonna have to approach this investigation tonight completely differently than we've ever

approached any other investigation because of the amount of audio phenomena that's occurring

are people putting 2 and 2 together? We are on a very busy road.

Yeah.

Erm... you know, are people just presuming that's what they're hearing but also

if we are gonna be trying to communicate with romans

they're not gonna understand US.

No, I think 2 things for tonight, I think

1 we should definitely try and set up audio up here, see if we can capture

the sounds up on the corridors so maybe just get some evp's up here.

Locked off cameras and stuff yeah.

But, down in that cellar...

What if we were to get like some Latin chanting?

My god that might be a good idea.

Yeah like, like battle cries in Latin or something like

that and see whether we can, cos it's gonna be residual.

Whatever it is down there is gonna most likely be residual, we're not gonna be

able to intelligently communicate with it so let's try and stir it up with some

erm... you know like Latin and things that they would understand and stuff.

Well like you were saying before as well, the Roman foundations

would have been 6 feet below the cellar that's there now

so...

Maybe not 6 feet.

Well... whatever.

Typically when you get things like this happening, they,

they, when people see them, they're at like knee height.

So they're a couple of feet below our current foundations.

Just marching through.

We need to do our research about this place and I know the perfect place for US to go so,

spoke to hq yesterday and they told me of the erm... the dewa Roman experience it's called.

Yeah.

It's right in the city centre and it specialises in the Roman

history of Chester, it might be worth heading over there

speaking to one of the historians, the experts there and finding out whether

it's true about the Roman soldiers being buried outside the north gate which would have

been right here, see if they've heard anything or if they have any factual evidence

yeah we could do with some like historical records

yeah.

To show that that is the case but also they may be able to guide US

on what we could use to provoke the residual energies downstairs.

Right let's, let's finish up here and let's head over

there and film an interview with one of those guys alright?

Ok.

Alright let's go.

As we are about to head back into the city centre I receive a call from Charlie who is back at

the hotel with Emma and rox going through the footage from our investigation at the pied bull.

Charlie tells me that something incredible has been captured on our locked off camera

which was placed down in the basement and so we immediately head back to view the footage.

Hiya guys you alright? Right go on the what've we caught?

Allright Dan

you filming this yeah?

Reviewing the footage from the pied bull when me and becks were in the cellar, we

haven't caught it on the portal but what we have caught on camera is like a girl.

A little girl whining, making a whining noise listen to this.

Ready?

Go on.

Play that again.

You hear it?

My god, play it one more time.

That definitely doesn't come through the portal

no.

Have you guys heard that yeah?

My god,

it's mad that that hasn't come through the portal

but it is like dvp, we've only caught it on camera.

My god that's mad.

It's a clear like little girl making a whine.

It's not like a humming or anything like that, its like a whine.

Its like a, I can't even do the noise, like a.

Like isn't it?

A high pitched whine yeah.

My god, that was the bit with you and Beck in the basement.

Yeah.

We were hearing all sorts down there, all sorts.

Didn't you say that you saw a little girl?

You did! You said you saw a little girl my god,

you said she was sat crossed legged on the floor.

Like dirty ragged clothes on with her hair down, sitting down.

My god.

I wonder if it's her that we've actually caught.

Right that is crazy erm... we have found out some mad stuff at the George and dragon

haven't we? We have got to go to a place called the dewa Roman experience now,

it specialises in Roman history, I need to brief all of you tonight because what me

and Beck have discovered, its gonna be a really difficult investigation this one.

So, carry on going through everything, you found

out anything more about the Mary Ann situation yet?

No we're still researching

its hard to try and find stuff.

It appears that nobody seems to know much about her.

I knew that woman was weird, I knew she was weird.

Erm... right ok listen, we're gonna shoot to this place now we'll meet back here probably

about 2 hours and we'll brief you ahead of tonight alright? Good work guys let's go.

Becki and I arrive at the dewa Roman experience

which is a Roman museum the heart the city.

The museum specialises in Chester's Roman history and even has archeological

remains of Roman structures and sits on the very site of an ancient Roman hospital.

We are about to speak to a staff member at the museum to see if they can shed

more light on Roman soldiers being buried outside the north gate of the city.

John, thank you so much for coming to talk to US, I had absolutely

no idea that this place even existed. It is amazing in here.

You are one of the tour guides here and I understand that you're

very clued up on the Roman history of Chester is that correct?

Yes I've been a tour guide for, well... here in

Chester for about 8 years doing Roman tours yes.

Brilliant.

30 years ago I was one of the archeologists that

dug one of the holes down at the far end so...

In this building?

In this building yes.

Wow! That's amazing I mean you must've been

amazed to discover what you've discovered here.

Yes

erm... like all over this building there's obviously you know, the old remains of...

The archeology here is fabulous there's the complete

history of Chester on the other side of that wall.

It's amazing, what actually was this building?

Well, before... well.... erm, it's latest it was I

think a motorcycle repair, erm... vehicle repair shop.

Erm... the Saxon floor next door was cut by the oil,

spare oil tank that they had just over there so...

Really?

You can see the dent in the ground still and then

we're standing in the cellar of an 18th century house.

Wow!

Erm... and then there is a 16th century house, a 13th century

house, there is a 10th century hut just the other side of that wall.

And then we get back to the Roman and about 3

or 4 inches down there there's a Roman road.

Wow! So there is literally hundreds and hundreds of years of history here?

Nearly 2000 years of continuous occupation right here.

Wow, so obviously during the Roman times, what

would this have been used for do you know?

We know that there is a building just there, you can see part of

the end wall and that may well have been the legionary hospital.

The.

Seriously?

Yes.

Wow!

That's incredible erm... John what we are doing, we are here in Chester filming a

paranormal documentary to find out whether Chester is the city of spirits if you like.

Erm... we have just been filming at the George & dragon

pub which is on northgate do you know where I mean?

Yes.

Brilliant, now there are rumours of...

The sound of... how do I describe this? Almost

Roman soldiers marching through the basement there

and we are lead to believe it is built on an old Roman burial site.

Now I wanted to speak to you as someone

who knows huge amounts about Roman history,

is that correct?

Yes.

It is?

Erm... the north gate today was the site of the Roman north

gate, the site of the north gate of the legionary fortress.

A road ran out of that, more or less along the lines that it does today. So there would

have been a Roman road running past the George & dragon and on either side of that road

would have been the cemetery.

Erm... according to Roman law, you couldn't

Bury people inside the place where people lived.

Right ok.

Romans don't like ghosts wandering around their houses.

So they actually believed in...

Yes! Yeah 4 times a year your house would be full of ghosts.

They had yes, yeah all your relatives from, yes

all your relatives would come and visit you.

Wow, so, so in your opinion, your expert opinion, the

George & dragon sits on a burial site of the romans.

Yes it's in the middle of a Roman cemetery yes.

Wow!

Now, I don't know whether you believe in the paranormal or not, that's fine, but...

Could you give US any advice on how to possibly gain evidence that

there are indeed Roman soldiers marching through the basement there?

Is there any particular way we could try and communicate with them?

Erm...

Well historically the romans would tend to get upset if you upset the dead.

Right.

Erm...

The Roman religion revolves around

communication with spirits erm... so, erm...

You could try and offer them some food, if they're Roman soldiers trying to

offer them some beer or indeed some wine would probably illicit some response

if there is a response to be had yeah, the erm...

It is, it is one of the bits of Roman law that has survived and it's bit of Roman

law that goes right back to the foundations of Rome that you don't disturb a grave.

Ok.

And if you do disturb a grave, bad things will happen to you so...

Erm... you know, it's... well again if you're a poor person you can be executed and if you're a

rich person, even if you're a rich person you can be banished to an island to starve to death so...

You know.

My god.

Don't... I mean obviously, obviously that's Roman law, that,

that's the law that erm... but yeah the Roman's were very erm...

Erm...

They believed that the world was alive, that there were spirits everywhere,

erm... you had spirits in your house, your actual house itself was alive.

Erm... so you would have a little you know, in your bedroom you'd have a little alter and

you would you know, make sure your house spirits were happy otherwise your roof would leak.

When it rained.

My god.

And the roof here leaks when it rains so perhaps

we need to look up on things but there we go.

Erm...

Becki had a fantastic idea at the George & dragon earlier

that possibly using Latin erm.. Could provoke something.

Well if you want to communicate with them then

yes Latin is what you're going to have to use.

Ok.

Yes they're certainly not going to be able to speak modern English.

Well that, that's the problem we thought we'd have really because

and then they may almost mistake you for German

barbarians, that wouldn't be particularly good.

Or Danish.

You remind me a bit of a German barbarian Beck.

Thanks.

Erm... John thank you so much erm... I do have 1

quite strange question to ask you actually before we leave erm...

Since we've arrived in this building, now I'm not a psychic, I don't get any type of

sensitive feelings to do with hauntings, I'm actually quite skeptical and scientific based

but there is the most overwhelming atmosphere in

this building, Beck do you get what I'm saying?

Yeah it's definitely got a bit of an atmospheres bit of a strange atmosphere

it almost feels like no matter where you go, you're

sort of being watched from the corners of each room.

Are there any rumours about this building being haunted?

There are members of staff who will say that things have happened here yes.

Yeah, yeah.

Really?

Yes one of them is on the front now you could ask her, she'll tell

you some stories and indeed one of the managers as well has...

So have there been sightings here?

There... things have happened you know yes.

We have just found out some very interesting facts about the Roman occupation of Chester and

we would need to take some of this information into our investigation at the George & dragon.

One thing we did not expect was for John to tell US the dewa Roman experience itself was haunted

and this vital piece of information had just opened up a whole new chapter to our journey.

John goes on to tell me that huge amounts of paranormal

activity has been witnessed inside the building.

That was fascinating, we can use so much stuff

for tonights investigation with what he said

but my god Beck it feels atmospheric in this building.

Do you know what I found really, really fascinating was

when he was talking about you don't mess with the dead.

We're gonna have to actually remember that and make sure we're very, very respectful,

very careful when we are trying to communicate with anything we think might be Roman.

Yeah, definitely, definitely no provocation anything

like that, just completely, my god I feel so like...

You alright? You having a moment?

I just, from the minute I've walked into this room I just feel like

there are people watching US and it feels really weird in here.

It's definitely got a weird vibe I'll give you that but don't forget you've got lots

of mannequins around that are watching ya, you know you've got open excavation sites

with loads and loads of history, you can definitely get a sense

of the history in here, it's bringing the history to life.

But...

He even said that the staff here have experienced things.

Yeah.

And you've got just down here you've got Saxon floor, you've got

an 18th century house, you've got, did he say a 10th century house?

There could have been anything here.

It would be interesting if we could get in here to investigate.

Might be worth it.

I'll call hq and see if they can set US something up.

Right...

I need to get my head in the game here, Charlie... that at the pied bull was incredible,

we've come here, we've found out all sorts, Chester keeps throwing up these surprises.

Yeah.

We need to get back now, do a team briefing with what we've found out here, get some

rest, get some food and then head out tonight for the George & dragon investigation

and charge all the equipment up because that cellar,

we are gonna go for it down there ok? Alright let's go.

With the team briefed we set off for the George & dragon and our 4th investigation.

With what we had learnt about the location, our approach would need to be very different

as we believed any possible hauntings at the George & dragon were likely to be residual.

If there was really Roman soldiers marching through the cellar then

it would be almost impossible to gain intelligent communication

due to the fact the romans spoke Latin.

So we would try to gain visual and audio evidence

by setting up a number of devices in the cellar.

Our thermal imaging camera would monitor the main section of the cellar whilst motion sensors

and a rem pod were placed on the floor to detect any movement or static energy in the area.

We also places a h1 zoom microphone on the floor to

record any audio phenomena that may occur underground.

Meanwhile we placed 4 locked off cameras throughout the building. Camera 1 was on

the top floor corridor where the manager had heard disembodied footsteps in the past

whilst the building lay empty.

Camera 2 covered the main bar, camera 3 monitored the main function room

and entrance whilst camera 4 covered the entire main section of the cellar.

I was also armed with our sls camera as a further attempt

to gain visual evidence of any entities down in the cellar.

Becki would also attempt to draw out any presence by playing

Latin chanting, it was time to investigate the George & dragon.

Ok guys what we've done is arm the entire cellar with motion sensors. We have a rem

pod over there which will of course measure any energy changes that come near it.

We have an edi meter on the floor,

that will measure emf, it will measure temperature and it

will also pick upon any footsteps that may occur there.

This is a zoom mic, I'm gonna put it right on the floor due to the

sounds of the, the supposed armies that are walking through here.

I thought this would be a good idea to put right on the floor, see if we can

play it back, listen to see if anythings happening, you've gotta remember

I remember saying to Beck today wasn't I that the fact...

What the **** was that?

I don't know, that was not a good sound.

That was like a.

That sounded like multiple men like all doing the same thing.

Suddenly, we all here a strange sound from above US. At the time this took US all

by surprise but after reviewing this audio, we believe there is a strong possibility

this could be people on the street outside.

What do you think?

I remember saying to Beck today wasn't I that the fact...

I remember saying to Beck today wasn't I that the fact...

Right let's crack on, like I was saying to you today the actual Roman foundations

would be a few feet underground wouldn't they? So putting this under there

well on the ground to measure anything that

happens under there, alright guys let's do this.

That noise freaked me out a little bit.

Really freaked me out yeah.

That was a little unexpected wasn't it?

Alright we've also got the sls camera here.

Now this is the difficult part about this

investigation, we have nothing to call out.

No.

No.

We're literally just gonna have to wait and see.

If that tracks you gotta warn me.

Now unless that was drunk people on the street but since we've been down here.

Not a peep.

And it's only about what? It's about half 10 now.

Now it could have been drunk people but that was the sound of like

somebody like moaning out but it was draining away from them like.

Yeah.

You know what I mean like as if someone was moaning like groaning or something.

Me and you came down here before to set

everything up and we couldn't hear anything.

No.

We haven't heard nothing since we've been down here.

It's about half past 10 now so there are people in the city but...

We...

What was that?

That was a thud.

Like a thud yeah.

Did anyone here like mumbling voices before that?

Yeah I heard it before the thud yeah.

Did ya?

Yeah I heard it then yeah as if like someone was trying to have a conversation.

I only heard the thud.

We have no idea what made this thudding noise from the bar above US, nothing was

captured on our locked off camera up there and we were the only people in the building.

We are not saying this is paranormal as there could be a number of explanations.

But...

We...

But...

We...

Feel a little bit like, anything could happened down here like...

I'll be honest.

I've not been expecting a lot like this, this,

I dunno there's just something in the run up

to this night I've not been feeling like we would maybe capture anything.

Well if we did it would be residual I thought.

Just since...

There's a car.

Can you hear that?

That's a car

is it? I thought it sounded like dragging furniture.

Erm... no but now I'm feeling like anything could kick off at any time.

Well... like you and me were here today

just getting the shots and it was obviously before we came back

to see you guys after the pied bull evidence which... my god

but it didn't feel like we were going to capture anything here tonight.

Well from what I've heard I thought it'd be more

residual more than things just walking through.

Yeah exactly.

Really starting to feel the affects though now guys of

4 investigations do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

This is number 4 tonight it's like...

We need to be careful as well because we're all knackered

and when you're tired you don't think as logically

so I think we all just need to try and keep our heads

and also like you know if we start seeing things

remember it could be tiredness.

Yeah.

Like that.

What was that?

No it was just one of the fridges or something behind me.

See that yeah, that's what I mean yeah, it's like we're all feeling knackered

we have to be careful what we hear cos it's gonna

sound, because we're tired it's gonna sound different.

Louder as well yeah.

Feel on edge.

That's exactly it, it feels like you're a

bit jumpy and on edge so... cos we're tired.

And we've kind of you know... we've had a lot, we've,

we've had some really interesting investigations so...

I still can't get over that girl at the pied bull that you showed US today.

No I know.

That was freaky.

I still can't get over the apparition on the rows Jesus Christ.

That was amazing.

Have you noticed as well, I've only just

noticed with that, there's no shadow behind it.

So you see the wall...

The apparition?

Yeah so you see the wall, there's no shadow on the wall.

No.

So it's not a solid figure, if it was a person there would be a shadow.

Yeah.

But there's not.

It's the fact that it set the motion sensor off as well.

Shh, shh listen.

That could be people on the street.

Is there anything registering on the edi at all?

Nothing.

The temperatures set fine.

No spikes.

Picking absolutely nothing up on this sls camera.

What have you just heard?

Thought I heard like a tap.

The other thing down here is there's so much noise from

like the machinery that you get in a pub cellar that,

you have to really careful that like they could just really natural, normal noises.

Things settling.

Yeah and you know it's not necessarily paranormal so...

I just can't get over the fact that we're on a Roman burial site right here.

Like some of the stuff, obviously I told you guys before at the hotel but some of the

stuff that the guy told US at the Roman place was, Beck it was fascinating wasn't it?

Really great place.

I swear that place is haunted you know.

You went a bit funny, you had like a moment.

The fact the staff there are witnessing things as well.

This is one of them places that...

You would have to spend like every night for like a

month here down here to actually witness something.

Yeah.

It's just got that feel about it that whatever is here is residual.

Yeah.

Should I try the Latin chant music?

Yeah.

And see whether that does anything.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We are witnessing very little down in the cellar at the George & dragon and our

locked off cameras throughout the building are picking up no strange activity.

We are about to do an experiment which involves playing

Latin chanting to see if this has any affect on the location.

Can you hear anything out there?

I can't hear anything no but I dunno if it's because you know I'm tired but I

feel like I've got static coming up from my legs, up my body dead slowly like.

Coming up.

Should we just try moving out a little bit out all of US moving out into that room?

Is your thermal imager rolling?

Yeah.

Yep.

Just if there's any movement anywhere I don't want to miss it.

Getting anything on the sls?

Nothing at all.

As our investigation moves on with no results we decide that Charlie and I

should eventually split from the girls and cover different parts of the location

alright I've got an idea.

We'll stay down here as a whole group for the next hour.

See if we get anything, if we do we'll startle camera rolling again Beck yeah?

Charlie you head up to room 26 where we were before.

Yeah.

I'll go to the back staircase and we'll

leave you 3 girls down here on your own ok?

Yeah.

So we'll see what it's like in an hour and then we'll move ok? Alright guys.

We are just over 2 hours into our investigation at the George & dragon and we are

starting to doubt the rumours that this location is one of Chester's most haunted.

Charlie and I split off from the girls to investigate other areas of the building to see if there are

any other hauntings other than the supposed Roman soldiers that are said to march through the cellar

Charlie heads to room 26 which is close to the area where

the manager has previously heard disembodied footsteps.

Armed with a full spectrum camera, Charlie will attempt to gain visual evidence as

our locked off camera on the corridor will monitor any footsteps that may be captured.

I made my way to the back staircase armed with the ovilus 5

in an attempt to find evidence of any intelligent hauntings.

The girls remained in the cellar.

Alright guys so I've come up here now to room 26, erm... the

girls are still in the cellar and Dan's on the back stairwell.

Now this is said to be the most haunted room,

here the owners said that he's stayed in this room while there's been nobody else

here and what appears to him is that he's heard running up and down these corridors.

So,

I'm gonna listen out and I'm gonna do a little bit of

calling out but I'm gonna see if I can hear anything.

And it's around about 1am now in the morning and you

can still hear people outside and traffic erm... so...

Just see how it goes and we'll see if we can capture anything audio wise.

If there's someone that likes to run up and down the corridor

can I hear you run now?

That's the traffic outside.

Let me hear you please.

So I'm on the back staircase.

The girls are in the basement and Charlie is

in room 26 which is all the way over that way.

I just don't get the vibe with this place at all it...

Obviously the basements quite atmospheric but...

It just doesn't feel like there's anything here now we're the

only people in the building of course it feels quite eerie

due to that fact but...

I dunno it's just it...

It just doesn't feel like it's haunted and I know that's

really ridiculous to say because how would we know?

We're only spending one night here but...

It just seems like there's so much here that

can be debunked.

Like the noises in the cellar for example.

There's a lot of machinery down there.

There's a lot of noise confliction from outside.

Traffic,

heavy lorry goes past and it can vibrate rooms.

Definitely doesn't feel eerie.

No.

No not at all.

In fact I would go as far as to say out here

feels...

Better.

Really calm.

Yeah than in there.

I think it's cos it's darker in there, it's more compact isn't it?

There's something about the bottom end of the kitchen that freaks me out.

Yeah.

All little side cupboards.

And after hearing that really weird noise.

Yeah.

That was a piece of yeah...

Yeah, is that something turning on?

And it is, yeah and it's just like... natural

machinery sounds isn't it?

Unless you have the door closed or something you'll hear that noise, I know.

It's just impossible to tell.

I think it's just normal pub sounds.

It'll be interesting though if we've picked anything up on the thermal.

Yeah it will.

There's quite a lot of clicking.

It's loud that isn't it as well.

I'm just so like... I'm just so used to calling out in English and like...

Asking for responses.

Yeah asking them to do specific things.

You know like with...

I think like the chef whites... woah!

Now that was a bang.

Far end over.

That wasn't a piece of machinery.

That was not a piece of machinery, that was a thud.

That was like down there.

This loud bang in the cellar is the first thing that has happened in over 2 hours

but again, we believe there could be a number of rational explanations for this.

One of which could be air pressure in the beer lines, what

we have to remember here is that cellars make lots of noises

and the majority of those noises can easily be explained.

You know like with...

I think like the chef whites... woah!

Now that was a bang.

So I've got a full spectrum camera here and what I'm

gonna do is take a few pics, see if I capture anything.

If you are up here with me can you show yourself to me please?

I would like you to show yourself to me.

I have the ovilus 5 on me.

I'm gonna arm that now and see if

it picks up on any energy changes or...

Or any static changes that can bring through any words.

Please can you welcome me into this building.

I'm a visitor here.

I wish to have a conversation with you please.

Can you come up these stairs please and address me?

Here I'll reach out to you, can you come and touch my hand please?

Do you work here in this building?

Do you have happy memories here?

Maybe you have sad memories here.

I respect the fact that you may want to keep those memories private.

But I would really appreciate for you to come up these stairs

and address me.

Please can you do that?

I'm starting to think that

it's not as haunted as what it's been made out to be.

Even though there is a lot of history behind this place

it, it just doesn't add up to what people have said they've seen here or witnessed.

I'm not witnessing that myself.

So for me, I don't think it is haunted here.

It could have just been peoples minds if they're tired.

You know, sometimes if you're half asleep you think

that you hear things you think that you see things.

So I think this place has just been hyped up to be something that it's not and

it's not as haunted as people have claimed now there is a lot of good history

behind this place with the Roman burial grounds

erm... you know the sounds of Roman soldiers have been heard here but...

Again, I haven't witnessed anything for myself.

So for me I think this

is something that you know, that I'd have to say that I can debunk

as not being haunted.

Be interesting to see if the others are getting any

activity at all because it just feels completely...

Completely silent up here just...

I mean not even anythings come through the ovilus it's...

It's so strange, I knew this was gonna be a real difficult investigation,

But it really is quiet in this building and it just

doesn't feel like there is anything here at all.

I'm not one for feelings to be honest with you, you know I...

I'm not sensitive in any way.

But...

Sometimes you can walk into a location

that is reputedly haunted and you can feel the atmosphere in there

and even though we are the only ones in this entire building,

which of course in itself is quite eerie but it just feels relaxed,

it doesn't feel like anythings gonna kick off, it doesn't...

It doesn't feel like anything is... here at all I mean...

I just think this place is so easily...

Debunked.

I think we'll fight through til about 5am but...

Both myself and the team are absolutely

shattered, this is our 4th investigation in a row.

We've still got a few more days here in Chester, I just think...

We need to concentrate our efforts now on...

Other locations.

Because I really don't feel like this place

is gonna give anything.

I don't want to use provocation in here

without knowing what it is that's here, if anythings here.

In some circumstances that could work really well but I just

think in a place like this I'd be, I'd be wasting my time.

I mean you can see there's nothing on the ovilus at all.

Which is really strange in itself.

It's disappointing when it's like this but...

It's also really good

to be challenged as investigators in a place

that is as quiet as this because

I always say...

You can't go into an investigation without being able to debunk stuff first

and everything about tonight has just been so easy to debunk.

At the pied bull

last night

was...

You, you could feel the atmosphere in there.

What happened in that room upstairs.

Still really creeps me out and the evidence that

that Charlie and rox and Emma showed me today.

The kings head the night before, we know that place is haunted and...

That was a crazy, crazy night, such amazing evidence.

But tonight it just feels like...

We're not gonna get anything here.

Over the next few hours we take a number of different

approaches throughout the building and experience nothing.

We capture no evp's, no strange heat sources on the thermal

imaging camera, no unexplained emf spikes on the Mel meter.

Our h1 zoom microphone in the cellar picks up no unexplained noises, nothing is captured

on our locked off cameras and we do not receive a single response through the ovilus 5

or the paranormal puck device.

Alright guys we are approaching 5am now and

to be completely honest with you all I really don't think that we're gonna get

anything, I know obviously you girls said that you didn't get much down in the basement.

No.

Charlie did you get much at all?

No erm... I didn't feel anything in this

room, I didn't get any evidence in this room.

What about out in that corridor?

Nothing from the corridor but there's a lot of noise conflict from outside

so if a heavy vehicle goes past it vibrates the room it

could possibly make the sound that somebody is outside but...

Mate I have literally, Beck haven't I just said the same thing to you?

Yeah... it's really quiet.

I feel's really relaxed in here.

Yeah.

Like really relaxing.

Down in the basement, in the cellar we got some really weird noises, the one weird thing

was like when we were all down there together weren't we and we got like that weird

right at the start of the night yeah?

But... we are in a city centre so I think you can, you could, you could

debunk that and say that it possibly was somebody out on the street.

Yeah.

It was a weird noise though but when it was just the 3 of US down there like we

got a huge bang, we got the sound of footsteps but it was so noisy down there that

I don't actually think you could definitively say

that anything was paranormal there was just so much...

No none of the equipment, none of the

equipment went off, the rem pod didn't go off.

No.

It just, it just, I said on camera on my vigil on the staircase

ages ago that it just Doe sn't give you the vibe this place.

No.

Now I know we're all shattered guys, I know we are so I think

why, why waste any more time here, let's go back to the hotel

and...

Get some rest.

Yeah and start fresh tomorrow

you know and see what hq give US tomorrow yeah?

Yeah.

Alright guys let's call it a night.

Our investigation at the George & dragon had given US no results and

despite all our efforts, unfortunately you cannot force paranormal activity

and as investigators, nights like this come around more often than not.

We cannot say whether the George & dragon is haunted or not but after

our previous investigations at ye olde kings head and the pied bull,

we were disappointed that nothing had been witnessed at the George & dragon.

We were here to answer 1 question, is Chester truly the

city of spirits? We still had a few days to find out.

Next time the haunted hunts.

I spoke to hq this morning, we are on route now to rowton moor in the nearby village

of rowton which played host to one of the bloodiest battles of the civil war.

Who are we hearing?

That's US, that's US.

What? Don't leave me.

Cmon.

What?

Just go.
