Is Crowley Hall really Haunted?

Work at Crowley Hall in England has had to be halted after suggested paranormal activity has taken place there.

Crowley Hall was bought by local property developer Steven Newton, who intended to turn the old hospital into flats. Work had begun in early 2006, but had to be stopped when human bones were found behind a fireplace. Enough bones were found for four human bodies. Investigators had to be called in before work could continue.

"It has reached the point where some of these incidents that are happening here, have got so bad, that the builders have stopped work, and are refusing to come back to the hall. I am finding it very hard to get builders willing to work here."

One of the workers, who wanted to remain anonymous, told us that he had been working on replacing some flooring, when his toolbox flew across the room and smashed against the wall. He also told us of occasions when some of the other workers were physically pushed, on one occasion, almost down a flight of stairs. It was when one of the workers was bitten by an unseen force, that they felt they couldnt continue to work there any longer. This has left Steven in a position where he has had to call in expert help.

"I called a team of ghost hunters after the police told me they could do nothing. To be honest, I think they thought me and the workers I employed were mad."

Crowley Hall, built in the late nineteenth century, has had it's fair share of controversy over the years. Originally built to operate as a hospital, then mental asylum, it ceased serving this purpose when its founder, Dr. Bernard Leys, died of a heart attack during an operation. It was after this incident that rumours surfaced of Dr. Leys carrying out unsanctioned tests on inmates. This has never been verified, due to a fire that broke out at the Hall, destroying all of Dr. Leys' notes and records.

Crowley Hall was left abandoned for many years, later to re-open as a children's hospital in 1970. During this time, there were many paranormal incidents recorded. It has been suggested that a spiritual medium was brought to the hall to cleanse it, and remove the evil spirits. Paranormal activity seemed to cease after this. Eventually, a bigger hospital was opened nearby, and all the patients were moved there and the hall closed down once again.

Steven purchased the property in 2005, and until recently wasnt really a believer in the paranormal. He hopes that if the ghost hunters can help to explain whats going on at the hall, then he might not only be able to get back to work, but also understand a little bit more of the afterlife.

"I just want to know what's happening here. Until then, I feel as though I am just going mad."
