The Manor House in County Durham used to be an orphanage, the bodies of children have been found buried in the gardens of the property. Now it is a pub and restaurant, but ghostly activity has been seen and heard at different times and by different people.

The thing that sets this investigation apart from others is that one of the residents of the Manor House, a small child, has been attacked by what could be described as Poltergeist activity!

While Phil Whyman carried out the base line tests he had a talk to the child who described what had happened to him. The child claims he was thrown out of his bed one night by something. When he went to his mother she noticed bruising on the child as if he had been manhandled! The child also claims that the ghosts of children want him to play games with them.

When Derek arrived he was drawn to room 8, the room which the child was attacked in and said that he sensed a vortex in the room, he claimed that there was a dangerous spirit present who had the power to literally throw objects around the room. Derek picks up on the child's skeletons found in the garden and also some other events witnessed by people.

The team go to investigate the cellar and while they neither hear or see anything at first,suddenly, Yvette, screams and claims she heard a gasping noise in her ear. She is visibly shaken and very upset by the occurrence. Then, Richard Felix radios them to say that he has seen orbs in one of the other rooms. Richard is in the monitor room that has pictures from all the locked off cameras fed directly to it. He advises the team to go and investigate. Before they leave the cellar, one other crew member says something touched his head!

Ian Lawman once again joins the team on this investigation, he goes to the cellar to hold vigil. While there he claims to hear the sounds of horses hoofs and children's screams. He becomes short of breath and feels pressure on his shoulders. Before long he states that he is feeling very uneasy and is starting to become scared!

When the team go to the room Richard observed the orbs in, Derek says the evil spirit is in the room! After a noise is heard in the corridor, Phil goes to investigate, no sooner has he left the room than a bang is heard from behind the team. Phil's clip board has been thrown to the floor, he placed it down before he went to investigate the first noise! As nobody was near the board, the reason for this happening is beyond the teams explanation. After this happened, Derek asks Yvette to call out to the spirit to prove he was present. After calling out a third time Derek is suddenly and violently possessed by the spirit! He grabs and throws one of the lamps in the room, narrowly missing a crew member! It takes several members of the crew to restrain Derek. When the ordeal was over, Derek looked drained and was clearly upset from what had happened.

When Ian takes over from Derek, he claims that the spirit wants them out of the house and would do everything it could to get them out.

Later team members Karl, Rik and Stuart go back to room 8 to hold a vigil. After a short time in the room Rik sees a flash of light and then some noises are heard. Rik then starts to ask the evil spirit to show itself, when nothing happens he asks again and then finally challenges the spirit to do it's best to scare them... Just as Rik finishes the challenge there is a loud thud from one corner of the room and the TV set switches itself on! Panic grips the team, Karl is startled and tries to run, followed closely by Rik who is both terrified and shouting, "Nobody is going to believe this, nobody is going to believe this..." Stuart is curled up on a bed in the room hiding his face in fright! Phil Whyman arrives to see what all the screaming is about, he later describes the scene as pandemonium!

After watching every episode of Most Haunted and Most Haunted Live, I can honestly say I've never seen Karl, Rik or Stuart so terrified, there may well be a logical explanation for what happened, I don't know. But the look of blind panic on their faces convinced me that whatever it was, it was real.

At the end of this investigation, the family asked for help to rid the spirits from the house. Ian Lawman performed an exorcism to guide the spirits to their final resting places. No paranormal activity has since been recorded.
