"Hello and welcome we are back." The opening line to Most Haunted Live May 2006 from Portsmouth. The team, old and new, consists of Medium David Wells, Karl, Yvette , Ciaran O'Keefe, historian Richard Felix, they are joined by Medium Ian Shillito, Paranormal Investigator Steve Parsons and Resident Historian Ms Lesley Smith, finally Mr Paul Ross becomes our studio host. "The rollercoaster ride is about to begin" says Paul Ross, we the public will see. WYMERING MANOR Instantly David feels he is greeted by a spirit on entering the building. The crew voice their opinion of uncertainty. A noise from the floor in the first few moments becomes the highlighted interest. David finds a selected cold spot and all attention is drawn to the tapping noise, a dull thud from between the floor and cellar. David feels the spirit of a dark aggressive male, enough to trigger Yvette 's fears to escalate, with a flash of light we return to the studio. A fast start to this Most Haunted Live. We return to a 'struggling' David Wells who is claims to be joined by the spirit of a naval dressed man and the spirit of a woman. On calling for a spirit called Mary a noise seems to respond to David call for contact. David identifies the spirit to be connected to a family of four including a naval officer. David feels he is being contacted by a shover/pusher who gives him the impression they shouldn't be doing what they are doing. David senses a geographical change into the shape and size of the rooms. The noises seem to respond to questions asked, is this a more definite paranormal response than past found on a Most Haunted Live ? David identifies the spirit as 'Francis'. Our studio historian Lesley confirms the existence of a Francis Austin, a naval officer and brother of Jane Austin, who died in 1865. She also confirms the rooms have changed in size and shape when the building became a hostel. After a break we once more return to the crew who are now in the Music Room, they continue to hear noises they can't identify. David now connects with two monks, are they throwing pebbles, a now common occurrence on Most Haunted. David voices threats from one of the monks toward Yvette , not to goud him. Yvette suggests a seance as we go to a break. The calling begins in the seance led by Yvette . David senses shame in the monks for what may have been a 'sexual' event in the Manor. Was this entrapment to keep their own 'dirty' secrets. Does the table move or is it merely the rising tension ? The team move upstairs, Ian discusses having felt the presence of two children and a religious man in the music room. A number of the team are sure they heard the sound of a baby crying. Were all these sounds from the outside as suggested by studio based Steve Parsons ? David senses the spirit may be judgemental and expresses he is more than happy to get into the debate of religion. Noises follow and seemingly more pebbles are dropping or being thrown. Is this in response to David's calls for a debate ? Historian, Lesley Smith feeds back in the 1870's the building hosted the St Augustin Monks and a vicarage was just beyond the manor. In the loft space Yvette takes Kath with her as she's tries to taunt spirits into reacting to her. Now David picks up on what he thinks are nuns from around the 1300's. In the cellar David senses an astral shifting around, a grubby six year old child who's bones are nearby in the earth. An unusual occurrence is when Ciaran breaks down upset with a headache. On his return Ciaran has no explanation for his actions and even when discussing how he felt he once more shows himself as overwhelmed and upset. Karl and Richard spend sometime in a priest hole and return with just the feelings of unease. Stones appear to continue being thrown, or are they small pieces of stone falling from the roof space above ? At the close of coverage Jon Gilbert feels his legs collapse or he suggests he may have been pushed. Southsea Castle Royal Marine...
