MEMBERS of a supernatural investigation group say they are convinced there is paranormal activity on Clevedon's Victorian Pier after spending a night there.
Bristol and UK Supernatural (BUS), which was formed in August last year, carried out a number of experiments on the grade one listed pier on Thursday night.
Five of the members began a sweep of the site by using an electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) that captures electronically generated noises and, after several minutes, the words "doctor", "Jimmy" and "balloon" emerged.
After studying the pier, investigators found a plaque underneath a balloon-shaped light which was in memory of a doctor named James.
Whether the find is linked to the noises has yet to be confirmed.
A spokesperson for BUS, said: "We can confirm there is a presence here, but I believe it to be residual and it is therefore not a haunting spirit."
To gain further evidence, the group used an EMF metre which measures electromagnetic fields to help identify the location of spiritual energy.
The group's equipment also included an ultra violet laser which illuminates spirits, a motion sensor which tracks unseen movements, four night vision cameras, a camcorder and an infra red filter.
The group's founder, who did not want to be named, decided to become a ghost hunter last summer after she captured a photograph of a ghostly figure at the gates in Redcliffe Hill.
She said: "Ghost hunting is simply luck and is dependent on the time and place; it's not about professionalism and high-tech gadgets."
According to the paranormal society, there are four levels of haunting; level one is residual, level two is an intelligent and mobile haunting, level three is a poltergeist and level four is an in-human or demonic haunting.
The group was unable to support its findings from the session with any physical evidence as it was unable to light up the pier with a motion sensor due to the presence of a number of fishermen.
The investigator added: "We didn't come here to catch sight of an apparition, we just wanted to investigate if the claims about spiritual activity here were true, and we can confirm that there is a spiritual entity here."
