Annabel told us that Robert took great pleasure in beating his prisoners to death and getting rid of the bodies. She asked if we could now go down into cellar, as she wanted to confront this ghostly presence and hopefully cleanse the inn of his evil influence.

We made our way down to the cellar, when Katherine told us that the temperature had dropped significantly since moving downstairs. Annabel claimed that Robert was angry we were in his domain and was going to make that quite clear to us as the night went on.

As we went deeper into the cellar, I was instantly struck on the back of the head by what felt like somebody's hand. When I told the other ghost hunters about this, one of the other members of the team shouted out in pain. They also claimed that they had been struck on the back of the head.

Annabel told us that Robert is going to make his spirit presence known, and we should all be extra careful. She went on to tell us that she could feel that a lot of men were murdered down in the cellar. More than thirty bodies had been carried out and buried in the surrounding areas. It was shortly after saying this that a loud bang was heard coming from one of the rooms. On investigating the noise, we found one of the beer barrels had been pushed over.

I decided to call out to the ghost, and nervously I asked him to show himself to the rest of the ghost-hunting group. I just managed to utter these words, when we heard screaming coming from one of the rooms, further down the corridor. What happened we got there, was something I won't ever forget again.

On entering the room, Annabel told us that this was the place that Robert carried out the deeds. I slowly entered the room with another member of my team to see what could have made the scream, and although the room was empty, we heard a shuffle coming from deeper inside. It was as we entered further, that we heard Katherine shout for help. We turned to find Annabel lying on the ground in tears. We tried to lift her up but she was in some sort of trance. I declared that this would have to be the end of the evening, as we needed to get Annabel upstairs and away from the inn.

As we were picking her up, we heard another scream coming from the room we had just been in. Annabel began to shout uncontrollably, saying that she had to cleanse this place of the lingering ghost spirits. I told her that we were not going to do that, as we had to get her out of this place.

We finally got Annabel outside, and I went back into the building to check the glass, which we had left on the table as an experiment. Unfortunately, nothing had been moved, and nothing had set off the motion detectors either. I collected our stuff and got outside with the rest of the ghost team.

I don't know what happened that night. But I do know that soon after Annabel went back without us knowing, and cleansed the building of ghost spirits. She still won't tell us what she saw that made her cry that night. It's something that she never wants to revisit.

One thing, I am glad I'll never have to visit that place again.
