The evening kicked off with a tour of the vaults by our Mercat tour host Rob, a great favourite of ours and set the night up rather well. The vaults themselves had taken on a rather sinister feeling, and was unlike any other evening we had spent there.

The first thing that hit us was the strange temperature, while the first level was a steady 18 degrees, and the outside temperature a pleasant 13 degrees, the third floor vaults was an odd 4 degrees average. The temperature fluctuated  throughout the night and while one open room would be 10 degrees walking two foot into the next room and the temperature was once again between 0 and 4 degrees.

As we walked around the vaults i took a reading of the far wall in the front corridor. The reading was a steady 10 degrees, but within seconds it felt like an ice box and the reading confirmed it had dropped to just under 2 degrees. This occurred repeatedly throughout the evening.

After our tour we started to undertake our vigil, the resident teams medium had already experienced an occurrence upstairs before the night began and had allegedly been attacked by an unseen force which had locked him out of the vaults.

The group was split into two, one group took the double height room, front corridor and wine vaults the tavern and the "safe room". Our group started in the white room, caretakers room and rear corridor.

Please note at this point we are awaiting the report from Project Fear, so the events listed below are not complete and are only from our experiences.

Our group sat quietly in the white room, again i was attracted to the rear wall, as i always am and upon touching the wall, the images of people being tortured there behind the wall was as strong as ever. I started to get severe pains in my abdominal region. It was a grating pain as if i had been violated with a jagged instrument. I had to step out of the room, but the feeling was still present. This is the first time i have felt like this, and was crippled over in pain. The feeling went after about ten minutes.

Keith was once again filming in the rear corridor, to see if we could further capture the images we had before. We was not let down. I have not yet reviewed this footage, but according to the excited witnesses, the light form is more active than before albeit not as bright. This light form once again centred around Trisha.

Apart from this our part of the vigil was quiet.

Later in the evening we proceeded to the other side of the vaults. Of the most interesting footage i recorded, Trisha's persona was the most startling. The video can be seen in the Media Section, but even at the time i knew her behaviour was odd.

Having visited the vaults on many occasions with Trisha i have got to learn her behaviour, which is one of caution when entering this area. Reviewing her behaviour on several tapes this was confirmed. Yet upon entering the tavern room, her attitude changed, and indeed i felt slightly affected, it was as if we were both merry and maybe slightly drunk. We were giggling for no good reason and probably to the annoyance of other group members. Trisha also lost her composure at several points. Having noticed this i asked her to leave the room as a control measure, and as expected as soon as she left the tavern room, her subdued nature returned. These events repeated themselves again upon entering and leaving the tavern room.

the next experience affected four members of our group and happened in the front corridor. We all had a strange back pain come over us, and the pain was emanating from the centre of the spine radiating out to the sides of the lower back. This was an odd feeling, and as the group members left this area the pain once again disappeared.

Unlike previous occasions, all lights and candles were out, now we had all been in dark areas before but this was something different. Myself and Keith where last out and the door in front had shut, plunging us in complete darkness. I was only a foot or so in front of Keith yet he could not see me. I can honestly say i have never been so disorientated in my life, and well would not want to be down there on my own!!!

After a break we proceeded to hold a séance in the former safe room, apart from some cold breezes nothing came through.

Once i have received the report from Project Fear i will post the complete report on here, but this is just an insight until then.
