Findings
Kitchen
- I had a look at the automatic writing- at first they looked like scrawl but I noticed two pieces of paper both with the letter "V" on the page
- The butter churner sounded like someone was tapping it
- We heard footsteps on both the left hand side and right hand side of the fireplace
- Chair at the table moved on its own
- We picked up that the "V" is linked to a male. Believe it could be Lloyd Vaughan (see "Bathroom findings")
Dining Room
- Felt the presence of a domineering man walking around the room. Felt cold spots moving around.
- Ouija board moved to "goodbye"- we sensed there was a very domineering man present. His wife was trying to communicate with us but he stopped her.
- Ouija board spelt out 2,3,4- spirit did not confirm if this was an age, number of spirits or code. The group had a sense that it could be a confused 2 year old toddler.
- Ouija board- a male's name starts with "H"
- EMF's only responded once throughout the evening- at the end of the last ouija board session. The two EMFs were placed next to each other and both sets of lights lit up full several times then stopped.
- Heard footsteps in corner- closest the bedroom
- Saw a silhoutte in the corner- closest the bedroom
- Sensed children
- We reviewed the historical files and Sarah and Alfred Langhorne had a son- Henry August born here in 1842.**THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK WHICH LEAD TO THIS ID**
- We made contact with Henry earlier this week and he confirmed he came through on the 10th June.
- We don't know who the 2 year old was- could not make contact
Bedroom
- Felt cold spots
- Smelt a strong, floral perfume wafting in and out
- Bed shook on its own when there was no movement in the room
- Sensed children under the bed
- The cupboard on the left hand side of the room creaked and we sensed someone was next to it
- Saw the silhoutte of a person infront of the cupboard on the right hand side of the room
- Footsteps heard around the mirror next to the bed
- Uneasy feeling
- We already know that a woman died in childbirth on the bed
- We also know that a young boy haunts the cupboard on the far wall
- Still trying to determine who the other children are
Loungeroom
- Pendulum and dowsing rods were very active
- High EMFs near the fireplace
- There is a lady attached to the dresser- she says the dresser is from a house in Melbourne and she thinks she is still in Melbourne
- Group picked up on the name "Katherine"
- Heard footsteps in the loungeroom
- Successfully made contact again with Katherine- believe the dresser is from a Victorian home in Carlton
- Sensed that a man in his 50s died in the bathtub here of respiratory problems and jad a bath not long before he passed
- One person felt breathing in their ear
- Sense he is linked to the kitchen
- Based on the "V" intial from the kichen and the description of a man in his 50s in the bathroom we trawled through death notices and a Lloyd Vaughan died here in 1928 aged 58. He is buried at Williamstown Cemetery **THANK YOU FOR EMAILING YOUR FINDINGS- THIS ONE IS A PERFECT MATCH**
Children's Bedroom
FOLLUP:- Group picked up that a 13 year old girl died here
- We researched 13 year old girls who passed here- The Langhorne's had a daughter who died 13 years of age- born here 1848 **AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS THAT HELPED IDENTIFY HER**
Other
- Fully charged batteries on three cameras drained at the beginning of the night
I have been living in this area for a year. I have only just felt drawn to the homestead although spend a lot of time walking around it. I went in on Saturday with my little boy. The week before I purchased a little Yamaha organ almost exactly like the one in the house...(but 100 years later....) !! I always worked in museums and have recently been contacted by a paranormal investigator about my mixes. I am a dj and apparently they affect the orbs and EMF equipment like nothing before... told to me by a Qld investigator. I came home and told my husband about visiting the homestead. I felt a HUGE urge to put on the calico dress in there. This was a VERY strong urge. Then today I felt compelled to collect a Star newspaper I saw lying in the library. I was shocked at the synchronicity as I saw the front page article on the ghost tours and homestead, as just a week before I had started focussing on it heavily with love and a deep connection. I was determined to find out about volunteering there as I am that kind of person. I have JUST googled this page and SPRUNG to my feet when I read your words above... that the word coming through was "Katharine". This is my name. Before reading of your tours or of reading this article, all week I have been saying to my husband: I feel we have been called here. I have to help Sarah somehow. I will call you during the week or you can email me. Katharine of Altona.
