Eaton Hall - King City
April 25th, 2008
As we pulled into the driveway at Eaton Hall, we we’re all anticipating what would happen that evening. As we drove along the small country-like road we could feel the energies building. We came to bend in the road where there was a large clearing. At this point we all looked in awe at the large, beautiful estate that lay before us. “Wow, look at that place! It’s amazing”, Jay said. Little did he know he was already looking at the place we had come to investigate: Eaton Hall.
We pulled into the large parking lot below the estate and waited for the rest of the team to arrive. As we stood in the parking lot, the energies surrounding us were getting stronger, and our mediums were beginning to pick up on them. It would only be a matter of time before we would be fully engulfed by the charm and beauty of Eaton Hall and some of its former habitants. We gathered our equipment and headed up the driveway to the front doors. As we got closer we were met by our host for the evening, Robert. We talked briefly and were then led into the main foyer. We were then introduced to three Seneca students who would be joining us for the evening. These students were taking part of a course that Robert was teaching called “Investigating the Paranormal” and will remain unnamed throughout this report. After introducing ourselves to each other, Rachel went over a few procedures and rules that would be followed throughout the evening, and explained what some of the equipment we would be using. Once that was finished and the permission forms were handed in, we began our investigation.
We started out on the main floor which consisted of the main foyer, 4 dining areas, a billiards room, a library, and a long corridor with smaller rooms. We started in the larger dining area and made our way towards the Billiard room. Jay and Dan decided to go into the room, which looked like it didn’t exist at all. This was because the entrance to the room was very long and narrow and looked as if it was just a window. Upon entering the room the two noticed a very different energy. They felt as if they were not alone, but continued to investigate.
The remainder of the group walked around the dining area. We were all getting a feel for the place, and admiring the large portraits that were hanging on the wall.
We made our way to the Library. Upon entering the room, you could definitely feel the energy increase. Ron began to pick up on a gentleman that would stand by the fireplace and sit in one of the chairs. Ron said that sometimes, whoever sits in the chair would begin to feel uncomfortable and move over to another seat. He said the reason for this was because this gentleman did not want others sitting in his chair. We then noticed we had a little friend with us. Unfortunately this little friend had 4 legs, a tail and was furry, and was very much alive. No, it was not a cat or dog, but was a small mouse. We decided to leave the mouse and head on into the next room.
Back out in the main foyer, the EMF detector began to go off. As we walked around the room, it would start and stop. As we got closer to the portrait of Lady Eaton that was hung over the fireplace, the EMF was wildly beeping. After conducting a few tests and theories, we had come the conclusion that the EMF was picking up on the electrical wires that were connected to the lights that were there to illuminate the foyer.
As we entered the next room, Crystal began to feel as if this room was used to hold séances and the like.
We then made our way down the long corridor to the end of the hallway and a smaller room. This room is now currently in use as a break room for the staff of Eaton Hall, but was not originally built for that purpose. Upon entering the room, Crystal was picking up something to do with an office, specifically a Doctor’s.
We then began to make our way up the grand staircase to the second floor. This floor has many guestrooms, as well as some board/meeting rooms. We decided to keep to our right and made our way down to the end of the corridor. As we were making our way down the hall, we passed by a door that was slightly ajar. Robert had previously told Rachel that some of the doors were purposely left opened for us, as if they were to be closed, they would have locked and we would have no key to get back into them. Not knowing this information, Crystal put her hand against the door and closed it. As we explained to her about the doors being left open, she said that as she was walking up to it, she heard someone say “close the door, please”, so she listened. We all had a good laugh and continued down the hall. We ended up in a large bedroom that had a board/meeting room attached to it. The bedroom was gorgeous and decorated with magnificent furniture. Though nothing was felt in the bedroom, the board/meeting room had a different feeling. As we walked trough the open door frame, we could all feel the heavy energy that was inside. Crystal stated that she felt that most the meetings that were held in this room did not go very well, and that she felt that the next meeting to be held in the room would finish with the same fate. As Ron was looking out the window something caught his eye. He then asked if anyone had ever seen the gentleman that walks around the property at night, and even sometimes during the day.
We left the room and headed back down the long hallway and headed towards the left now. We then entered a room that was octagonal in shape. Crystal began to get this overwhelming feeling of grief and sadness. Crystal said that she felt that this room was once decorated to be a nursery, but that the baby never came. Crystal began to softly cry as she tried to comprehend what had happened. Though she could not figure it out, she felt that it was either the adoption fell through or that this person had a miscarriage.
The trip to the third floor was a dark one. As we headed up the single staircase, everyone was beginning to feel as if we were not alone. As we entered the third floor we walked down the long hallway which was glowing red (thanks to the Exit signs). We came upon a small hallway which led to a single room. As we opened the door to the room, the energy that was contained inside was felt amongst all. It was so strong that Crystal could not enter the room. Crystal decided that it would be better for her if she stood out in the hallway. As we tried to get as many as we could into this guestroom, Ron and Amanda began to pick up on a man who was not happy. The feelings of unhappiness and anger were so strong that we decided to leave the room for a while and visit the others that were on the third floor. Robert took us to his favourite room that was located beside a room that was undergoing some minor renovations. As we entered the room, Ron began to feel some vibrations. As we sat there in the dark, we felt that this would be a good place to come back to later on. As we exited the room, some of the team decided to head to the attic. While in the attic, those members found a smaller room. Those members described the room as out of the ordinary and slightly creepy.
We all headed back down the hallway, and the staircases to the main foyer. We then took a small break to collect our thoughts and recharge our equipment. Once this was done, we headed to the basement. The basement had many large rooms and offices for staff. To the right were 2 large rooms, mostly used for large functions now. Straight ahead of us were a large meeting/conference room and the staff offices. To the left was a hallway that led to the men and women’s sauna rooms and the gym. We entered the large meeting/conference room first. We then decided to head towards the two large rooms. As we entered the first one, Ron got the feeling that this could have once been used for a ballroom. The second room, was thought to be more of a playroom for children.
We made our way back towards the offices and upon entry, were taken aback by the amount of energy that came bursting through the door. It was this room that Ron could not enter. Ron could only go so far into the room before he felt an immense sickness. He opted to stay out and watch from the door
We made our way down the hallway towards the Saunas and gym. Though we did not feel much as we walked through the saunas, the gym was a little bit different. As we entered the room that was now home to gym equipment and a punching bag, Amanda, Jay, Crystal and Ron felt that this was not the original purpose of the room. The feeling that the area they were standing in was once a stable for horses, and then later re-done as a garage to house cars.
We decided to take one last break before we broke up into two groups to do a more in-depth investigation. We decided to go outside for some fresh air. As we were standing outside talking to one another, Rachel was noticing that someone was also watching them. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed someone standing at the window on the second floor to the right of the main entrance. She felt that it was a man. When Rachel asked Ron if he was feeling anything outside, he said that he could sense that someone was watching him from above and that when he turned around, he say a man standing at the window.
The two groups were made up of the following people:
Group one included Crystal, Jay, Dan, Jeff, and two of the students. Group two included Ron, Amanda, Rachel, Paula, Robert and the other student. Group one started off their investigations on the first floor, while group two went to the third floor.
Once on the third floor, group two thought it would be best to start off in Robert’s favourite room. We entered the room and set up the camera on the table so it could film us as we sat on the floor. It was then that Ron began to channel a young woman. This woman was very distraught and upset. She was telling us that she missed her parents and wanted to see them. We got the feeling that she may have once been a nanny, a nurse, or a maid. It was a very emotional experience for Ron, and he was left feeling drained after making the connections with her. Even though he felt this way, he continued on with us to the next room. This room was the room that Crystal did not want to enter, and that the feeling of unhappiness and anger was present. As we entered the room Ron began to describe a man who was quiet angry with everything in general. Ron also said that this man had quite the temper and was not very fond of women. He could see some type of abuse, and wondered if it could have been a previous guest of the room and not someone that had once lived there.
The decision to regroup was made and the trek to the main floor was started. Upon returning to the main floor, Group one connected up with Group two, who were sitting in the octagonal dining room. This was the room that Crystal had felt that previous occupants had conducted séances in. It was at this point that everyone felt that a séance should be conducted. Everyone grabbed a chair and sat around the table. As the séance was being conducted, Dan, who had decided to stand back and film, said that he could see what looked like orbs coming out of the middle of the table and going upwards. Though no knocks or taps were heard, we all felt that the spirits were nonetheless harmless and very much at home.
As we concluded our investigation, we thanked everyone for coming out and allowing us to investigate Eaton Hall. We packed our equipment and headed down the driveway to the parking lot. As we walked down the driveway, many of us turned around to say one last goodbye to the magnificent structure that was now shrouded in darkness and the moonlight. And most of us are pretty sure that we saw that gentleman standing in the window bidding all of us a farewell too.
