Mick senses a spirit child standing next to him. Michelle reports a chill to her legs and hands and this is something Jay is feeling too.
Michelle says she sees a light in front of her and the group sense a real chill in the air. Temperature recorded as 10 degrees Celsius so it is normal. Michelle says she smells burning which is interesting as in 1859 the Church burnt down and was rebuilt in the same year. Mick senses spirit children running around the area. Jay says his hands are really cold now.
Michelle starts talking to the spirits. A real loud set of footsteps heard and Mick sees a spirit child run right in front of the group. Jo says she heard the footsteps clearly. Unfortunately again though, this was not picked up on our recording. As the group head back towards the Church Michelle and Mick both see a spirit child running.

The whole team go outside the porch to form a circle with candles as the time approaches for the start of Beltane. Jo explains about the fire element in relation to Beltane.
Beltane has long been celebrated with feasts and rituals. Beltane means fire of Bel, Belinos being one name for the Sun God. As summer begins, weather becomes warmer, and the plant world blossoms, an exuberant mood prevails.
Great bonfires would mark a time of purification and transition, heralding in the season in the hope of a good harvest later in the year, and were accompanied with ritual acts to protect the people from any harm by otherworldly spirits
