Croxteth
Hall is a 210 room mansion just 5 miles from Liverpool's
city centre. The site is supposed to be haunted by members
of the family who used to live there, who return because
they love the place so much!
A picture of what some people say is a ghost was taken
in one of the corridors, it shows a strange shadowy figure
at the far end of the passage, but is it really a ghost
or just a trick of the light?
Once the Investigation starts Derek makes contact with
a group of ladies who are comforting a maid who seems
to be very upset, it is when Derek is talking that a
number of bangs can be heard from what appears to be
the room above. Phil goes to investigate but finds no
trace of anyone or anything that could have caused them.
Psychic artist Brain Shepard also appears in this episode,
he draws a picture of two young girls who he says are
connected to the place, he then draws a picture of a
man and says the man demanded to be drew! He says the
man was called William Creevy or Creedy, I'm not sure
which?
Derek also picks up on a spirit called Augustus who
he says was a nasty evil person when he was alive. He
says he still causes trouble to this day.
This episode sees Mathew Smith join the team on a investigation
for the first time. He is a parapsychologist from Liverpool
Hope University, he is a regular on Most Haunted live.
As the Investigation continues, more noises are heard
from above so Karl goes into the attic area with a camera
to see if he can find out what is making the noise, while
he is up there a plank falls to the ground making a huge
bang, below Mathew Smith and the rest of the team are
startled by the sudden noise, they go and see if Karl
is alright. Karl isn't sure if the plank fell or if he
accidentally knocked it when he was moving.
Soon Derek picks up on a couple more spirits one called
Mary and another called Philip Molyneux, Molyneux is
the name of the family that inhabited Croxteth hall for
many, many years. Derek says Philip is the shadowy one,
he says people will have seen him, maybe relating to
the picture??
As the team splits up to investigate the huge building,
some members catch light anomalies on camera while others
hear noises that sound like footsteps. When members of
the team go to investigate the wine cellar they hear
more noises from one side of the room, then after a period
of inactivity they decide to leave, it's when they are
on their way out that something crashes to the floor.
When the team calm down, they look to see what made the
noise and find a metal candle holder on the floor, none
of the team can remember if it was there when they went
in or not?
As the night drew on one team member,Stuart, went to
the attic bedrooms on his own to investigate, no sooner
had he entered one of the rooms that a knocking can be
heard from the corridor outside, when he goes to investigate
he finds nothing that could have made the noise. Before
he can take another step more knocking is heard followed
by a bang that finally sends Stuart fleeing the building!
Stuart can't account for the noises and has no wish to
go back to see if he can find out!
