Defn knocks, and EMF spikes followed by movement.

reply to post by zazzafrazz


Yes, people are seeing movement near that lamp.. a few shadows too..


We have a plasma ball placed in the room in order to 'pump' up an EMF field..this is believed to help a spirit manifest and/or get energy to do ther things.. testing is the process...proving is another..

This is Sandhills farm in West Sussex, UK.

It is a private residence.

It is located near the village Washington/West Sussex and lies among the South Downs. Several outer buildings like a barn and workshops belong to the farm, as well as a few acres of land.

Sandhills was first mentioned in 1296 and belonged to Andr (Andrew?) att Sande when he was mentioned in lay subsidity tax records during the reign of Edward I and II, but earth works on the property suggest, that there used to be a settlement even before that time.

In 1327 a woman called Alice turned up in the tax records and there exists an account report from the year 1448/49, concerning the property of a certain Robert Capeleyne. In this report it is mentioned, that at least a part of the property formerly belonged to a John at Sonde.

The parish records start in 1558, but the first definite link To Sandhills is in 1594, when Joan, wife of Philip Rolfe alias Juden, died here. Philip Juden died in 1597, our client even found his last will and testament.

For the next century plus, the house and farm were occupied by the Parsons. The Parsons had been in Washington since the start of the Parish records in 1558 and probably before. They were fairly important people and usually were overseers, church wardens etc. Also, like their predecessors, there were an awful lot of them. It seems that all the ones at Sandhills were called John.

The Manor of Winston along with various lands, including Sandhills, passed from John Earl of Thanet to John Fagge of East Hoathly Esc.
Another John Parsons died in 1685, it seems from the will, he only left his wife 2/-. His daughters Mary and Anne got £50 plus a feather bed and sheets. The rest went to the next John.

The Manor of Winston along with various lands, including Sandhills, passed from John Earl of Thanet to John Fagge of East Hoathly Esc.
Another John Parsons died in 1685, it seems from the will, he only left his wife 2/-. His daughters Mary and Anne got £50 plus a feather bed and sheets. The rest went to the next John.

The next John was a carpenter and died in 1737 leaving £22.10.2d. All he has was a Messuge (house), a one croft or close of land called Tomscroft (the line along the road between Sandhills and the Towers) otherwise Sandhills containing one acre, one half at a yearly rent of 6d.

In the following decades the property was let to several tenants.
Ca. 1740 William and Mary Hronrk
1780 - 82 William Hickex
1783 – 86 John Cease
1787 – 88 John Brown
1789 – 1812 Charles Penfold (overseer to the poor)

It was then, that the owner Lucy French, widow of William French, put the property up for auction and it was bought by Charles Goring of Wiston.
Mr Gorings’s first tenant was Henry Float. Like other families there were a lot of them. Another Henry Float had the Lime Kilns. They had shops in the village and various other holdings, but still had family in the workhouse.

Henry took Elisabeth Burnell “of the Parish” in 1819. The Parish was responsible for people who could not support themselves – hence the Poor Rate. She would have been an orphan and Henry would have been paid around 3/- a week to have her. There is a receipt for her boots 7/-. A bit later he took Eliza Hills, and a year later Mary Kingsholf.

In 1851 John Skinner took over the farm as a tenant, he already had Green Farm next door.
The 1861 Census:

George Starling and his family departed and George Batting came. In 1891 he was 36, his wife Eliza 36, and they had Arthur aged 1. There was also Charles Sadler, a live-in farm servant. They did not stay long either, so by the 1901 Census there was the Butler Pattenden family. There was Butler Pattenden, 33, his wife Abigail, 36, and his son Weston, 3, and daughter Marjory, 4. His parents James, 67 , and Sophie, 62, lived with them.
The late Tony Jenner’s father was cowman around 1905. He did not stay long and went to work for the railways.

Sandhills was split into several lots.
They did stay, right up until the Second World War. His father died in 1903 and his mother in 1921. Butler died in 1930, aged 62, but his widow continued here.
The occupiers were Butler Joe Pattenden and William Butcher. William Butcher had a hell of a reputation. He was called “Blommin Butcher” as every time there was an illegitimate child, someone would say “it’s that blommin Butcher again”. During this time the farm fell into disrepair.

The Wiston rent roll of 1930 gives Mrs B.J. Pattenden 95 acres at £65 a year. Part of 306 (late Mr Maple) was added in 1934 ‘no increase in rent’. She paid £2/9/0 in rates in 1936 and was given notice to quit in September 1938. The land was let to Mr Heryeth (Green Farm) for £90. During the last few years the Sandpit had been started and was increasing rapidly. There was not a great deal of land left, so he used it just for hay and pasture.
When Mrs Pattenden left in 1938, she went to stay at Sunny Notch.

After the war, the house was let to Vivian and Eileen Davidson and their son Tony. Vivian had been living in Warren Lodge, which was a home for the wounded. His friends, the Beavans, in the village told him of Sandhills. He worked at the National Privincial Bank in Worthing and went in on the bus with John Beavan. He paid rent of £100 per annum.
Captain Pemberton of Stocks Mead had the buildings and grew mushrooms. Later, the buildings etc were used by Colin Daughtry, a local man, as a small market garden with chickens, eggs, salad etc.

In 1951, Tony and Pat Linfield with their two daughters Sally and Tessa moved into Sandhills.
In 1971, our client and her husband bought the property and restored, rebuilt and extended all the buildings on the farm up until today.
Even though we have this excellent piece of research in front of us, we can only guess who the lady in dark 18th century clothes might be. Is it Elisabeth Parsons, Mary Parsons, Mary French, Mary Hronrk, or another woman who lived and/or worked at the farm? We will try to find out on our investigation.

Hauntings

Sandhills has his own spirit. Soon after we came I was aware of a presence at the bottom of the kitchen steps. Our dog, Holly, would get up, wagging her tail. As I turned I would see her go. I feel uncomfortable sitting with my back to the door as I feel I am turning my back to someone. Over the years she has been seen at the kitchen corner of the house and at the door in the end bedroom.

However, on three occasions I have seen her much more closely. The first time was some 25 years ago when I saw her from the left-hand window of the sitting room coming down the path. She was slim with scraped back hair and wearing something dark. She passed out of view, probably coming to the middle window which was once the door – you can still see the step.

The next time was about ten years ago and I looked out of the same window one night and saw the shape of someone coming down the path. Just before she passed out of sight she lit up as though someone had opened the door.

The last time I saw her was Christmas about four years ago. I came out of the bathroom and she was barely two feet away at the top of the steps. She has to date from between about 1780 when the back was built and the 1830’s when the door was probably filled up by Henry Float.

My logic and brain tells me there is no such thing as the supernatural, but it is difficult when one’s eyes and senses tell you differently. All I can say is that she generates great peace and security. I have no desire to send her on her way, as it seems to be the place she is happy to watch over.

So am i being retarded or is the camera just pointing at a bed and that's it?
And a creepy looking doll in the background?

Is there multiple cameras, talking or anything?
