A brilliant night of history and paranormal at The Jolly Sailor Inn, West Looe. Lots of anomalies on the gadgets, good emf hits to direct questions, strong impressions of past lives. Thanks to The Jolly and the guests, our ghost hunters, for making it a success. #paranormal #ghosthunt

Lots of wholesome activities to do, in-between monster hunting; a bit of fishing, photography, birdwatching… and dressing up in disguise.
