INVESTIGATION
CASH’S WELL, ESSEX There’s nothing better than letting a paranormal team write about their investigations, in their own words… telling it how they experienced it, how they felt about it, how they lived through it…

ash’s Well is situated in the eerie surroundings of Langdon Hills Country Park in the depths of Essex and is a notoriously renowned haunted hotspot in the UK, one of which we, WLP, have wanted to visit for some time. The logistics for this included a 180-mile round trip and an ALL outdoor location, so weather conditions had to be considered too. Once we had agreed on a date and time it was in to the ‘batmobile’ and off we set, stopping on the way to pick up two guests that were joining us on this investigation: ‘Mediums’ Jacquie and Nick from the SEPT (South East Paranormal Team) joining us, who bring another element to our investigation, bringing out the more spiritual side of things, allowing us to work more in depth in an attempt to seek and search for concrete evidence in the paranormal world. On arrival at the site of the investigation, it was obvious that we were in an area that had a long history and chequered past to go with that. We were waiting for one more guest to arrive to help us on our investigation, actor Adam Oakley who had been interested in all things paranormal for a long time, and as HAUNTED MAGAZINE
the location was quite close to him we offered him the chance to join us in learning our practices and gaining a more in depth knowledge of the paranormal whilst enhancing his skill set.
Once Adam had arrived and all the formalities were over, we set about getting our equipment ready for the walk down to the actual site of the Well. We had to walk about a mile through woodland, overgrown trees, and bushes either side of the precarious path, this was not for the feint hearted as the decent was quite steep and slippery. On our way down a couple of us felt that we were being watched, but that is often the feeling one gets when in the woods isn’t it? 71
