Is Crowley Hall really Haunted?

A local property developer has had to halt works on the development at Crowley Hall after claims of paranormal occurrences.

Steven Newton of Manchester, UK had recently purchased Crowley Hall intending to turn it into flats and had begun work in early 2006. It had previously been reported in the newspapers that his team of workers found enough bones for four human bodies, hidden in an alcove behind a fireplace. Steven claims it was just after this that the haunting began.

"Some of the events here have got so bad, that the builders I brought in, have refused to come back in the building. Rumours spread quickly, so it is becoming very difficult finding workers that will come 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 was built in the late nineteenth century. It has it's share of controversies during it's lifetime. At one time, it was being used as a mental asylum, under it's founder Dr. Bernard Leys. During an operation on one of his patients, Dr. Leys suffered a heart attack and died. Rumours quickly spread that Dr. Leys was practicing unsanctioned tests on his patients. These rumours were even more rife, when a fire destroyed all the records and notes of the tests conducted there.

The hall lay empty for a number of years, before re-opening as a childrens hospital during the seventies. There are a number of occurrences on record of paranormal happenings during this time. It has also been reported that the paranormal activity got so bad, that a medium was called in to cleanse the hospital of spirits. Once again, this cannot be verified, although no further reports of paranormal activity have been reported after this supposed cleansing. The hospital was closed when a bigger hospital was built, and the children were moved there.

The old hall was purchased by Steven in 2005. He was never a believer in ghost and the paranormal until these incidents. He brought in the team of ghost hunters to help explain the mysterious happenings, and he hopes to learn more about the afterlife from all this.

"All I want is to know is, what is going at Crowley Hall. Hopefully it'll stop me feeling as though I am losing my mind."
