Buck Inn investigation, Newtown

Saturday 10th Jan 2009

10.00pm-3am

Archie's report

Note : 3 of unexplained Wales team took part on this investigation while part of another investigation team,  We felt that it would be worthy of adding to our site.

Investigation team – Wayne, Jolene And  myself (Archie).

We arrived at the Buck Inn at 10.00pm. The team were introduced to the owner of the pub, and he led us through a doorway, upstairs to the private part of the building.

The Buck Inn is, apparently, dated from at least the 17^th century, although there seems to be little historical information available before the mid 1800's. It is a brick and wooden beam construction, and painted Tudor style black and white, inside and out.

On going up the first flight of stairs, to a small landing, halfway to the next floor, I felt a strange sensation, a tingling / prickly feeling over my face, scalp and neck. We also noted that although the stairwell was quite warm, there seemed to be a cold draught going around us (although it should be mentioned that I could see small gaps in the wall to the outside, where the black wooden beams adjoined the brickwork, possibly allowing small draughts).

After speaking to Helen, who own the Grapes, she invited Unexplained Wales to do a tour around the pub and let us carry out an investigation. After giving Helen a paranormal report to fill in and on returing it to us, Unexplained Wales arranged a date to go in and investigate any paranormal activity that may have been occuring there.
