God's word made flesh commands you,
in the name of the Father, who came to save our race...
What was that? Oh God!
..from your envy.
Across the UK...
Whoa, whoa! What was that?
Please tell me you heard that.
..terrified homeowners are being plagued by the paranormal.
What.. Did you actually hear that?
..was that?
We desperately need help.
I don't want the spirits to turn malevolent.
Right by our ears, we heard something like, (ROARS).
Thankfully, there are three people...
Ah! (BLEEP)! No, no, no, no, no!
..who will stop at nothing...
Ah! It's gone off!
Are you trying to scare us?
Aargh!
..to return our homes...
(SCREAMING)
It's moving!
What the hell's that? Up there!
..back to the land of the living.
(GASPS) I just heard "die."
Be gone!
This place is insane.
(SCREAMING)
Guys, I've got this feeling that the homeowners
don't realise potentially how serious this could be.
I just feel, I know we're always going
at the right time, but this feels desperate.
Right, OK.
Well, I just can't wait to find out more about the place.
I mean it's an incredible building. Yeah.
A challenge for us, I think,
technically as well, given the size of the property.
Yeah.
In this investigation...
Did you open this door?
Whoa!
That said "Mary." That was so clear.
..a mysterious mansion...
There's something just walked straight through me then.
..terrifying its occupants...
Why are we being scared so much?
..home to a female spirit...
Do you live here?
In this house? Wow!
..and the scene of an ancient crime...
Murder!
..where echoes of the past...
What the shit? Whoa!
..traumatise our team.
That is the single most terrifying sound I've heard.
Yeah, it's really upset me.
Are you alright? Yeah.
Come here. It's alright.
I feel like I need to, ahem, clear my throat,
almost like something is choking me,
or making me try and clear my throat.
OK. Is that spirit impressing themselves on you?
Yeah, I think so. I just think there's something happening there.
Spirit are trying to warn me about something, or somebody, maybe.
While Jayne and Barri have studied case notes,
Ian prefers not to know anything about the investigation in advance,
to ensure it's only his psychic abilities that are guiding him.
Any sense of whether or not we're dealing with male,
female spirits, children, inhuman entities?
I do feel, the sensation that I'm getting
is coming from a female.
The team have been called in
to investigate paranormal activity at the 18th century
Greenlaw Mansion by Steve,
who moved here five years ago from his home town of Plymouth,
with his partner Yvonne and their 16-year-old son.
This house, I believe there is something here, yes.
It's got a very eery feeling, a really scary feeling.
In fact I was literally terrified to begin with.
I've seen one shadowy figure.
My office door was open and I seen something
go past there on one occasion.
And it was like smoke going past the door, for want of a better word.
Yvonne, my partner, was woken up by screaming.
It was like a woman being strangled,
which was coming from, roughly, the kitchen area.
In the house, there's supposed to be somebody called a Grey Lady.
Now, I would really love to know who she is,
and why is she still here?
I bought this house as our sort of, you know, forever home now.
You know, I have no plans to sort of move,
so obviously it's got to be a safe environment for my family.
So, if there's a nasty element here, we want the nasty element gone.
There's just too many things going on here that need explaining.
I want to know who it is.
Why are we being scared so much?
There, look.
Wow, that's a mansion.
Wow. That's massive.
I didn't expect it to be so big.
Wow.
This is huge.
Goodness me.
Do you feel like the house is watching us?
Mmm. You do, don't you? Yeah.
While Jayne and Barri head off to find out more about the case...
Yeah, wish me luck for this one.
Good luck. See you later.
..Ian must try to work out what spirits
are lurking inside this massive mansion.
Hello? Hello?
Wow. Look at this place.
This house is really intimidating.
I do see a female here.
Sat here, I can hear things behind me.
That was to my left.
It was.
That was almost like a crackle of something,
something settling,
but nobody has been in here apart from...
Did you hear? What is that?
It definitely came from that area there,
just as I was talking about maybe this lady
has been brought here by something.
Let me have a look in that corridor.
It's not a corridor, it's a dining room.
Hello? I'm calling out to the lady.
I believe you're trying to reach out
and talk to me, or tell me something.
As Ian tries to communicate with the female spirit,
Jayne is on her way to meet Andy Pilkington, a local historian
who specialises in historic criminality and regional folklore.
Andy, thank you for meeting me here.
Does this house have a reputation locally as being haunted?
Because it certainly looks the part, doesn't it?
It does look the part.
I mean, you know, you can see for yourself,
it's very remote, it's very quiet.
You could hear a pin drop.
So we normally like to know a little bit
about maybe some of the legends, or notorious characters in any area.
Is there anything you can tell me along those lines?
So there's a fellow called Johnny Girr.
He used to run a gang, and they used to smuggle in the area.
And there is a story that the Grey Lady
that's been mentioned, you know, that's linked to the building,
was basically somebody that would try
and get in the way of the gang, you know,
and there's an idea that there was jewellery
that was within the building itself,
and Johnny Girr's gang were basically aware of it.
And then they turned up, and there was quite a lot of them,
and we believe that the Grey Lady tried to, you know,
warn off the trespassers,
and the story is that she was murdered in the process.
So are you telling me that she may have lived here at the house?
I believe so, yeah.
She may have had connections with the Gordon family,
who are believed to have had this built originally.
We don't actually know the name of this person.
We just know she was like a prominent figure
around the area, someone that would warn off trespassers,
and as a result, she lost her life in doing so.
What the fuck is that?
What is that? Don't know.
Was that outside or in here?
It was in here.
That was screaming.
Hello?
No! Can you hear that?
I heard that, yeah.
Hello?
That scream sent shivers down my spine.
It's making me feel really uncomfortable.
Do you know, all the time I'm trying to tune into this female,
because at the minute,
I feel she's the one that wants to talk to me.
I'm meeting Steve's partner Yvonne
to find out what she's experienced while living in the mansion.
In your opinion, is your beautiful manor house haunted?
I believe there are spirits there.
There was one incident where I heard
a really high-pitched lady's scream,
which made me jolt.
There was nobody there, so I couldn't explain that.
It really sounded like a lady's scream.
That's terrifying. Yeah.
Now, your wonderful manor house has this reputation
for being haunted. Yeah.
And the Lady in Grey is a notorious spirit
that is associated with the property.
Uh-huh.
Do you think that this Lady in Grey
is the same woman that you've heard screaming?
It may well be, and I would like to find out
what happened to her, really.
Ooh. I really don't like it down here.
It feels so different to upstairs, doesn't it?
There's something just walked straight through me then.
Why am I jumpy? I feel jumpy down here.
Hello?
Do you know, I've just got this feeling
that we've come at the right time.
It's almost giving me a feeling
that this could potentially escalate if it was left any longer.
There's just shadows, isn't there, going everywhere.
This house is really haunted.
Hello?
Would you say that the paranormal activity in the house
has intensified at all?
I think so.
It's just spooky to think that there are other people
who could be there, or living with us.
I don't want it to get worse, so if that's the case
and you do find that, then it would be helpful
if you could help them to move on. Mmm.
Well, that's a good thing that you called us in, then.
That's really confusing, because I feel
that the female that I'm picking up on,
I think she's happy that we're here, so she's trying to tell her story.
She's trying to get her story across,
but something definitely happened around this staircase area.
Ooh. Now, this is a different energy.
This is a really active area.
You can feel spirit running back and forth.
As Ian continues to sense spirits in the house,
Jayne is finding out more
about who's lived at Greenlaw Mansion over the centuries,
to hopefully get some clues as to who these spirits might be.
The gentleman that had the house built was John Gordon.
The house was built around 1714.
After John Gordon's family left,
the Napier family took over the mansion.
Now, John Napier was a banker,
and he lived there with his brother James Napier.
Now, there were no children,
which is unusual for a house of that size,
but there were many servants.
Lots of names, but I'll just focus on a few.
There were three young ladies,
Margaret McKie, Mary Coltart, and Mary McFarlane,
and they were all servant girls in the house.
So, given the fact that we know there is this story
of a Grey Lady at the house,
I'm quite interested to bear in mind these three servant girls.
These could all potentially be our Grey Lady.
So there's definitely something active here,
'cause you can feel the energy, so it would run up and down here.
Oh wow, there's staircases all over the place.
This place is vast. There's so much to investigate.
Do you know, there's just something about this corridor here,
or this space, it's almost like it's trying to make me feel comfortable,
but psychically, I just feel it's a little bit
more sinister than that.
I feel it's just gonna manifest into something quite negative,
so I'm so, so pleased we came at the right time.
There's clearly lots going on in this massive mansion,
and I'm not surprised Steve has called us in.
Oh wow, look at this!
It's incredible.
Oh my God. Ian?
Oh, there you are. Hi, guys.
Hey. How are you?
You alright?
I've not actually finished my walkaround. This place is vast.
This place is massive.
Round about 30 rooms.
I'm Ian. Nice to meet you. I'm Steve. Hi.
Hello. Hi.
I'd like to make a start with spirit triggers,
but potentially in your living or dining area.
Yeah. Is that OK?
Yeah. Mmm.
Alright. So, lead the way. Lead the way.
Follow me, then.
I sensed a strong female spirit presence
during my walkaround, and it seems she's followed us.
I can hear a female voice.
Already?
In the distance.
Female? Yeah.
Um, Ian, do you want to call out to see if there's a female energy here?
Mmm.
EVP recording number one, spirit triggers in the dining area.
Hello?
I'm calling out to the female that's with us right now.
Can you hear my voice?
Thank you. End recording.
Let's play this back.
Hello?
I'm calling out to the female that's with us right now.
Can you hear my voice?
Was that footsteps? Footsteps.
It's walking, yeah.
No, that's footsteps. Yeah, yeah.
Let's play that back.
And we did not hear that at the time.
No, we didn't. No.
Can you hear my voice?
That's like someone walking either up or down the stairs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's incredible.
Yeah.
Was that a door?
A door just opened. A door just opened.
Did you hear it? I don't know which door it was.
I wasn't looking, but I just heard...
It was that direction again. Yeah, it was.
That's a door. Just have a look. A door just opened.
Was that crew opening doors?
There's nobody.
I would have said one of these doors.
Mmm.
'Cause these creak when they close, but these are both open.
Can I just get some verification?
Brett and Owen, you're the only other people up here.
Did you open any doors?
No. Owen's here.
Alright, thank you. I can't explain it then.
Something seems to be trying to attract our attention,
but I'm hoping to make a better connection with it
on the upstairs landing, as it's the centre of the whole property.
This is quite creepy up here, actually.
It is, isn't it?
Mmm.
Shall we keep recording, and see..? Yeah.
Right, ready?
Hello? Is there a lady?
I just heard something.
Thank you.
End recording.
I heard something else. It's down there. I could hear..
I heard something. I could hear it there.
I'm gonna stand there and I'm gonna play it back.
I know it's a bit dark here, but... OK.
Is there a lady?
Oh my! Straight after I say it.
Wow! I heard that in real time.
That was a DVP. Play that again.
Is there a lady?
Yes. Yeah.
It says yes. Yeah.
That was so clear. I'm blown away.
Um, let me play that again.
Is there a lady?
Yeah.
That was so clear. That was clear.
That's amazing.
I'm excited, come on.
Oh my God, let's go. Thank you.
So this is the stone staircase?
This is a 14th century stone staircase.
Spooky, isn't it?
I'd like to try the Spirit Box.
OK. OK?
Hello? Who's the lady that spoke to us?
Do you live here?
"In this house"? Wow!
That was "in this house."
Yeah, it was. Listen.
Alright, end recording.
It was almost like it was shouting at you to sort of tell you...
Yeah. ..rather than sort of just...
"In this house!" Yeah.
Do you live here?
"In this house."
"In this house." That is crazy.
Shall we try again?
Yeah.
Yeah. Steve, would you like to ask the questions this time?
Are you happy that we live here, or are you angry we live here?
I swear I heard "get out of here."
OK.
Do you want to play it back? Yeah.
I don't think it's happy that we're here.
Are you happy that we live here, or are you angry we live here?
Oh, that did sound like "get out."
That was "get out" and then "get out" again.
Mmm. Mmm.
You got a direct response. How do you feel?
Yeah, spooky.
Does this stone staircase lead to the corridor in question,
the one that you feel most oppressed in?
Yes, it does, yes.
It goes all the way down. Yeah, it goes, yeah.
You just go down as far as you can.
Well, take us down there. Yeah, let's go.
OK.
We've made contact with a female spirit on the landing,
and a male spirit which told us to "get out" by the staircase.
But I'm interested to visit the corridor
which Steve feels is the most sinister part of the mansion.
Steve, there's a very different feel to this part of the house.
Yeah. Yes, it is. What are you feeling down here?
What are you picking up on psychically?
I feel we shouldn't be here. Do you?
I'll be perfectly honest with you.
Yeah, I feel it's forbidden for us to be here.
I'd like to do some ITC here,
see if we can communicate further with this male entity.
Mmm.
EchoVox is an application,
an instrumental trans-communication app
that allows spirits to manipulate
the phonetic sounds within its banks.
OK. Whenever you're ready.
What do you want with my house?
And I emphasise my house.
"Leave," was that "leave this"?
Yeah. "Leave." I heard "this", but yeah.
Do you want Steve and his family to leave this house?
"Get out." Yeah.
Yeah. Again, "get out."
I'm calling out to the lady. Can you hear my voice?
Are you the Lady in Grey?
Murder.
"Murder."
I thought it said "murder."
Are you the Lady in Grey?
"Murder." It's a Scottish accent.
"Mur-der."
Still clear responses, but "murder"
is probably the clearest response of them all.
Mmm. Mmm.
What does that tell us?
Well, that this female was obviously murdered.
Mmm.
And they've heard screams.
You have, haven't you? Yeah, yeah.
Well, we've got a lot to do.
We have indeed.
Well, Steve, thank you for joining us
for the first part of our investigation.
Well, thank you for coming.
You are free to leave. Thank you all for coming.
We'll see you in the morning. See you later.
Thank you, Steve. See you later. Thanks.
Thanks. Bye. Thank you.
Wow, some of that evidence is unbelievable.
Yeah, I'm blown away by that ITC response.
Yeah. "Murder."
I know.
We've had some really clear stuff.
It really is like someone wants to tell us what happened.
As night falls, it's time for Steve to leave us.
To capture any unusual activity during the investigation,
the crew are setting up infrared cameras,
which will be constantly monitored in our nerve centre.
Now, I've asked the crew to set up the remaining cameras, OK?
And they've got cameras all over this property,
but it is massive, so we have to pick our battles on this one.
But I'd like to concentrate the investigation
on this corridor area; upstairs on that mezzanine level
where the footsteps have been heard;
and also in the dining room. Yeah.
OK. OK. Sounds good.
Barri to nerve centre.
Go for nerve.
Can we turn all the cameras to infrared?
Yeah, copy that.
Let's go.
We're starting the investigation on the upstairs landing.
Yeah, this is spooky, isn't it? This is really spooky.
It is.
Oh, it feels so different now, doesn't it?
I'd like to communicate with any spirits that can hear my voice.
Is the Lady in Grey here?
I'm sure I heard something in the distance.
Shall we play that back? Yeah, there was something there.
EVP recording, main investigation, up on the mezzanine level.
I'd like to communicate with any spirits that can hear my voice.
Is the Lady in Grey here?
What was that? What?
Is the Lady in Grey here?
Ooh. Oh-ho!
There's something there, isn't there?
I just felt something there.
Stop looking over my shoulder. You're freaking me out.
There is, there is something there.
There is somebody there, and I can't see who it is, or...
have a look. Hello?
Keep walking.
What was that?
Where did that come from?
Hello?
It's that breathy response again,
and that came from the staircase, Barri, over there.
Whoa-whoa-whoa!
What, what? What's the matter?
There's something behind me. Are you OK?
No. It was right by my ear.
Did you see anything?
Shall we move further down there? Yeah, let's go down there.
As it's clearly active here, I'm leaving a 360-degree REM pod,
an electromagnetic device triggered by spirit activity, on the landing.
Weird.
Who's with us, please? Can you talk to us?
It's going off.
You are joking.
So as soon as we've left that space
and come down here, someone is now standing there.
If there is a spirit and you're trying to communicate with me,
can you make the lights flash on that device, please?
Oh... Look, look, look, look!
There. Thank you.
Are you male?
If you're male, can you make it light up again, please?
Yes.
If it's a male spirit, it'll be interesting
to see if it's Johnny, the smuggler Jayne was told about.
Johnny, is that you?
Oh! Yeah.
That's a yes. Oh my God. Johnny?
Are you a murderer?
Oh!
It's going off. What do you want to tell us?
Can you say your name through that speaker, please?
John.
John? Did that say "John"?
Yeah, John. "Johnny."
Mmm.
Shall I play that back?
I think that was quite clear. That was "John."
You can do. Play it back.
Tell me your name.
John.
That was quite clear. "John." Very clear.
OK, well, we need to establish,
is this John Gordon, who built the house, had the house built?
OK.
Or is it John Napier, who also lived here?
OK. Whenever you're ready.
To the gentleman that spoke to us, John...
..are you John Gordon?
Are you John Napier?
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh-ho-ho, wow! Wow.
Who was John Napier?
So John Napier lived here in the late 1700s,
after the Gordon family. So he owned it?
Yeah. Yeah.
He had three female servants, two called Mary,
one called Margaret. Maybe...
Is the Grey Lady one of the servants?
Yeah. Do you want to ask?
Maybe try and eliminate, you know,
through a process of elimination, ask the questions.
John Napier, do you know anything about a murder here?
What?
What was that?
What was that? What was that?
I want to play that recording back. OK.
John Napier, do you know anything about a murder here?
What?
That's like something is being, you know, moved.
There! What is that?
That's an EVP. Mmm.
Let's hear it again.
"Murder."
It's a woman saying "murder."
That's a woman's voice, Scottish woman.
Yeah. Wow.
So who is she, and who murdered her?
And why is John Napier still here?
Shall we go down to the corridor to find out?
We've made contact with two male spirits and now a female one.
We're going to the corridor downstairs
to hopefully find out more about the murder.
Right, we really need to establish
who we are dealing with here, who we're speaking to.
We've had the word "murder" several times, so who was murdered?
Who is the murderer, and is the Grey Lady the victim?
Now, this is also where Steve believes
he has seen the Grey Lady, so let's try and speak to her.
We're using the EchoVox application, which uses banks of phonetic sounds
to generate intelligent responses from spirit.
Is that the lady known as the Grey Lady?
Can you hear me?
"Dead?"
Grey Lady, I don't want to keep calling you that.
Can I please call you by your first name?
Tell us your first name, please.
Guys... Did you just hear that?
I just heard a DVP.
I heard that. Ian, I heard "Mary."
No!
100%. That was a crystal clear DVP, female voice.
Yeah, I heard it, I heard it. Brilliant. OK, cool.
Wow. Let's play this back now.
I'm gonna turn it up.
Did you just hear...
Oh, it's very faint. It's just before the EchoVox.
It's too faint.
It's very, very faint.
That was a door, Adrian.
Please tell us your name.
Was it this door?
Yeah.
Hello? Mary, is that you?
That way. I can hear it.
Mary?
Tell us your name, please.
Did you open this door?
Whoa! It said "Mary."
That was so clear. Ian.
The door. The door shut.
Did you hear that?
Did you see the door shut? No.
No, we just heard "Mary" really clearly down there.
Crystal clear. It just said "Mary."
Hang on a minute.
Adrian and I were in there and I was calling out to Mary,
and this door just shut.
Did you capture that?
I spun round and it was closed, yeah.
That's incredible. Well, I thought the sound came from over here.
Maybe, I'm sorry for screaming.
The sound we heard was definitely down there.
Aimee, did you hear it?
Yeah, I heard it, yeah.
Oh my God, that's amazing.
And Mary would have been what, a servant?
I think it's a pretty safe assumption
that the Grey Lady is Mary McFarlane.
I agree.
She was a servant of John Napier, and we have communicated
with John Napier upstairs, and we've had "murder" several times.
So, was she murdered? And if she was, by whom?
I tell you what.
I didn't finish my walkaround, did I, before you guys came in.
The only place I didn't investigate was the top floor.
So why don't we all go up there now,
and I'll do my walkaround while you're with me.
Er, yeah, I think that's a great idea.
As soon as I set foot on the upstairs floor,
I sense something isn't right.
I'm starting to feel quite uneasy.
I feel like somebody doesn't want us in this space.
It's definitely a male.
Is it?
This man feels really negative.
It doesn't feel a positive spirit at all.
I'm just gonna put this out there.
Do you think that this could be the gang, the smuggling gang?
I do, Jayne.
Well, it might be that the one male
that you're picking up on the most
could be the leader of the gang, Johnny.
OK. Johnny, you're making me feel
really uncomfortable in this space.
Is there any reason why?
Have you left something or lost something, or looking, even?
Ah! Did you hear that?
Jesus. That was a "yeah."
Where did that come from? I don't know.
Guys, feel this room here. This room is even worse.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
Was that you, Johnny?
Is there something of yours in this house, Johnny?
Do you think he could be responsible
for the murder we keep being told about?
Do you think, then, this female saw what was happening then?
Is that what you're saying? And then...
Saw them, maybe..
Come and show yourself on this camera.
The SLS camera I'm using detects spirit forms
invisible to the naked eye, but I've had nothing yet.
Let me see you.
They're there.
Go outside. Go there, Barri. Is that you, Johnny?
Can you come closer?
There's a shadow over there.
I could see a shadow behind you, Jayne.
Johnny?
Tell us your name.
What the shit? Whoa!
That was a scream.
Where the fuck did that come from, guys?
That was a scream.
Go, downstairs.
No, just wait, wait a minute. Wait, wait, just wait.
End recording. Calm down. No movement.
Just everyone, 'cause we're gonna fall
if we're not careful. Right, are you OK, Jayne?
Oh my God. Are you alright?
Oh my God, that was a loud scream.
That was horrific. That was a woman.
That was blood-curdling. That was a woman.
That was horrific. That scared me.
We all heard that, yeah?
That scared the shit out of me.
I was just talking about Johnny.
End recording.
Calling out to the female who just screamed.
Are you warning us of something?
It's absolutely freezing down here.
I don't normally get scared or freaked out, guys,
but I feel really uncomfortable.
That scream was horrific.
Yeah.
I'm gonna play that. Hold on.
OK.
Johnny?
Tell us your name.
That's unbelievable.
I've never heard anything like it.
That is absolutely unbelievable.
Do you think she was warning me, because he was behind me?
Yeah, I think so. 100%.
I will say, that is the single most terrifying sound I've heard.
It's really upset me.
Are you alright? Yeah.
Come here. It's alright.
Right.
Let's make our way down. Are you alright, Jayne?
Yeah.
As terrifying as that situation was,
it's gone a long way to explain what's happened in the house.
Well, that clearly tells me, psychically,
that Johnny murdered this female,
and that's why she's petrified of him.
Well, we need to help Mary.
We do.
We need to really rid this place of Johnny.
Mm-hmm.
Johnny is clearly a sinister spirit.
I'm going back upstairs to try and cross him over
and banish him from the house,
while Jayne and Barri wait in the dining room.
Johnny, my name is Ian.
It's now time for you to move on into the light.
There's nothing here anymore for you.
And when you go into the light,
the Maker, the Lord, will decide what happens to you.
We ask of you, Johnny, to go in peace.
We ask of you to go towards that light.
You're not welcome here, Johnny. It's now time to go.
We're now hoping to help the other two spirits here,
John Napier, the former owner,
and Mary, his servant, who we think was murdered.
I think we need to pray for Mary.
OK. Yeah.
We need to ask John, and see whether or not he wants to stay.
OK, let's do that.
Name of the Father, the Son...
John, we understand that you love it here,
and you may want to stay.
The light and the doorway is open if you wish to walk through,
but you can still come back.
Mary, Barri, Jayne and I would like to thank you
for reaching out and trying to tell us your story,
what happened to you.
There's a light and a doorway that's now open,
and as you walk into that light,
your conditions will be lifted one by one,
and the screams and the echoes of the past will be lifted from you.
God bless you, Mary. Amen.
Amen. Amen.
God bless you, Mary.
The next day, we invite Steve back
into his house to talk him through what we found out.
Good morning. Morning, morning.
Did you sleep well?
I did, thank you, yeah.
Well, we had a really exciting evening in your house.
I was very, very curious, I must admit.
You left us, and we continued the main investigation,
and we moved up to the mezzanine level.
That's on the landing. Yep.
We wanted to know if the spirit there was Johnny,
the leader of the smuggling gang.
We were calling out and asking specific questions.
These are the two responses that we recorded.
Johnny, what do you want to tell us?
I hear that as quite a deep voice, sounds like "murder."
Incredible.
Jayne then asked the question, are you the Grey Lady?
We said to each other, we don't really like
to keep calling her the Grey Lady.
It seems a bit impersonal, of course, so we wanted a name.
So we were asking, you know, "Can you tell us your name?"
And we heard, in real time, we heard this.
Tell us your first name, please.
Guys, I just heard a DVP. Did you just hear that?
Very faint, breathy whisper. It sounded like "Mary."
Well, this was a really significant piece of the puzzle for us, Steve,
because I knew that John Napier actually had two female servants
here called Mary,
one, Mary Coltart, and Mary McFarlane.
So we asked for confirmation of Mary,
and I then asked, "Are you Mary McFarlane?"
Are you Mary McFarlane?
Right, there are two amazing responses here.
One is an electronic response coming through the application.
I believe it says "I" and then "am."
But you hear in the distance a faint female voice.
I think it also says "I am."
Are you Mary McFarlane?
Yeah. That's incredible.
On the census, there was no real track
of where she went, no paper trail at all,
so we don't know what happened to her.
So it was fair to assume that, actually,
your Grey Lady was Mary McFarlane, and she'd been murdered.
How do you feel about that?
Yeah, yeah, just...
Lost for words?
Well, yeah. That's, yeah, that's, yeah.
The local legend is true.
There was a Grey Lady here in your house,
and we knew we needed to help her.
But there was somewhere we hadn't been,
and even Ian hadn't yet explored the top floor of your house.
I just had a feeling that maybe there's a spirit
hiding in there, and yeah, we had an experience.
Now, Steve,
Yvonne heard a scream in this house.
Yes.
And I never thought in a million years
that I would even imagine I could hear something like that.
We captured it.
Wow.
At the same time that I saw a shadow looming behind Jayne,
we heard this.
Johnny? Tell us your name.
What the shit? Whoa!
That was a scream.
Where the fuck did that come from, guys?
That was a scream.
It was pandemonium.
I mean, if you imagine, as Ian said, it's completely silent up there,
you know yourself how dark and still this house can be.
Johnny was coming closer and closer and closer,
and I think Mary screamed to pre-warn us.
She was frightened for us.
Or Jayne, being female.
Yes.
Yeah, Barri had told me, as you heard,
that there was a shadow behind me.
Mm-hmm.
And it may well be, as you say,
that, um, Mary wanted us to get out of there, to move.
Yeah.
And we heard that scream.
I mean, it's left me scarred, never mind Jayne, so...
And if you were being strangled,
you know, you wouldn't be quiet, would you?
No.
There's just so much going on in this house,
which I had no idea that there was this much going on.
Mm-hmm.
And, you know, we just thought,
well, the Lady in Grey, and, you know, she's here,
but, you know, yesterday we were being told to get out.
Er, you know, yesterday we found out about the murder.
You've caught the scream, which I've never heard, and, yeah.
I know this is overwhelming,
and I think Jayne is right, you do look overwhelmed.
Yeah.
This was all absolutely incredible.
Honestly, it was a mind-blowing investigation.
We knew that Johnny needed removing from your property,
and we also knew that Mary
needed help to cross over,
because often, when you die in tragic circumstances,
especially as the victim of a murder,
your soul remains in limbo. You're almost trapped in the place.
So I decided to robe up and say some prayers,
and Johnny has now left your house.
But then we decided we'd got John, the homeowner,
and also Mary, so we said prayer,
and John did go into the light, but I didn't close that door.
I felt if John wanted to come back, he's welcome.
And then as I was sending Mary into the light,
her conditions, her suffering and her story will just disappear.
So she's at peace.
But she's also welcome to come back.
She can come back if she wants?
Yes. So we didn't close that door for her.
In a building of this age and significance as well,
I think you're always gonna find there will be echoes of the past
embedded in the very fabric of this beautiful mansion.
Yeah.
But thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us.
Well, thank you for coming.
No, God bless you. Thank you.
This has been a fascinating but sometimes traumatic investigation.
Do you know what? That scream will haunt me forever.
It was truly terrifying.
There's still lots of spirits here, guys.
In fact, they're still talking to me now.
Really? Yeah.
But who knows what the next case will bring?
