UK: Ghostbusters call for help with West Bromwich museum vigil

From Birmingham Mail:  Ghostbusters call for help with West Bromwich museum vigil

REAL-life ghostbusters are needed to uncover ghoulish goings-on at a former medieval manor house, said to be one of the UK’s most haunted buildings.
The vigil and ghost hunt takes place at the former Manor House Pub, Hydes Road, West Bromwich, on June 30 and organisers want to contact the many spirits believed to be present.
The Manor House is a magnificent, Grade I listed, timber beamed property that dates back in places to 1270. It was extended and added to during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Chris Arnold, boss of paranormal events company Eerie Evenings, said the venue, now a museum, was one of the spookiest the organisation has ever visited.
He said: “The Manor House was the setting for some of our first ever public events and always proved very popular with the public. Now, after lying empty and unused for some time, it has been given a new lease of life.”
During previous ghost hunts at the venue a succession of spooks have been spotted.

Mr Arnold explained: “Several of the team members had their most convincing experiences there, including balls of light floating across the room, heavy footsteps belonging to no-one, the full apparition of a monk, exploding light bulbs and slamming doors.”
Apparitions include a bearded man, a grey-haired old lady and a cloaked figure gliding down stairs and through closed doors. There has also been sightings of a young girl peering from a top, inaccessible floor and frequent tales of a black cat darting through people’s legs on the staircase leading into the great hall.
This moggie spirit has been seen several times since The Manor House reopened as a museum.
The event will include psychic readings and a tour of the building. Once darkness has descended, the vigil will begin and guests will be able to take part in various paranormal experiments.
