Local Builder claims Hauntings at Crowley Hall

By:

A local property developer has had to halt works on the development at Crowley Hall after claims of paranormal occurrences.

Crowley Hall was bought by local property developer Steven Newton, who intended to turn the old hospital into flats. Work had begun in early 2006, but had to be stopped when human bones were found behind a fireplace. Enough bones were found for four human bodies. Investigators had to be called in before work could continue.

"Some of the events here have got so bad, that the builders I brought in, have refused to come back in the building. Rumours spread quickly, so it is becoming very difficult finding workers that will come here."

An anonymous worker told us about the work he was doing on the flooring, when his toolbox slid across the floor and smashed against the wall. Some workers have also been pushed over by unseen forces. One of the workers was almost pushed down the stairs during a violent occurrence. It was when somebody found that they had been bitten, that it was decided to stop work there. Steven has had to call in experts to try and find the source of all the disturbances.

"I called a team of ghost hunters after the police told me they could do nothing. To be honest, I think they thought me and the workers I employed were mad."

Crowley Hall, built in the late nineteenth century, has had it's fair share of controversy over the years. Originally built to operate as a hospital, then mental asylum, it ceased serving this purpose when its founder, Dr. Bernard Leys, died of a heart attack during an operation. It was after this incident that rumours surfaced of Dr. Leys carrying out unsanctioned tests on inmates. This has never been verified, due to a fire that broke out at the Hall, destroying all of Dr. Leys' notes and records.

Crowley Hall was left abandoned for many years, later to re-open as a children's hospital in 1970. During this time, there were many paranormal incidents recorded. It has been suggested that a spiritual medium was brought to the hall to cleanse it, and remove the evil spirits. Paranormal activity seemed to cease after this. Eventually, a bigger hospital was opened nearby, and all the patients were moved there and the hall closed down once again.

Steven purchased the hall in 2005, and wasn't really a believer in the paranormal until now. He hopes that if the investigators can help to explain what's going on there, then he might be able to understand a little bit more of the afterlife, and continue with the work.

"I just want to know what's happening here. Until then, I feel as though I am just going mad."
