St. James Church at Bicknor stands aloof from its village atop the north Downs amidst farms and orchards. A single track road runs past the open churchyard and there are no immediate houses although a couple can be seen in the near distance. There is nothing else to shatter the tranquility of the location. The church itself unusually made of chalk and faced in flint was considerably restored by the Victorians and outwardly resembles a Victorian Gothic structure which belies its mediaeval roots. |

The Investigation | ||
Aim:
To investigate reports of paranormal activity at Bicknor Parish Church. Background: The area around Bicknor and the North Downs has been subject to various reports of paranormal activity and unexplained sightings including strange beasts. In pursuit of these sightings at various locations Ghost Connections started at St. James Church were other Paranormal Groups have reported various events. Apparatus: Video camera- Team: Kim Using visual and scientific methods combined with spiritual information
investigate the background to alleged paranormal phenomena at this venue. On previous visits the weather conditions have been far from ideal. However,
on this occasion it was a clear night with hardly even a breeze. |
||
Results | ||
Although very little happened on this investigation
the noted points above could possibly be explained. With the sound of the pebble falling or being moved one possible explanation was that as this coincided with Dave standing up he may have kicked the pebble therefore causing the sound. However, Dave was adamant that this was not the case. Graham and Paddy’s experience of the sound of plants being brushed against could have been caused by an animal. There was, however, no animal seen either before or afterwards and this would not explain the continuation of sound much further along the Churchyard, and the light footsteps sound as nothing could physically be seen. |
||
Conclusions | ||
This location is always an interesting one to
investigate due to the apparent unusual atmosphere surrounding the Church
and Churchyard. Although some unusual occurrences were witnessed we cannot unfortunately one hundred percent attribute these to anything paranormal but as always this site is definitely worthy of further investigation. |
