for a forthcoming programme about problem houses (i.e. in terms
of being haunted). It is hoped this will lead to a further project.
05/09/03 Return investigation to Pengersick Castle
15/09/03 (week commencing) Ghost on video, COOP, Penzance.
Thanks to Paul Siddens (member) for this report;
P.R.O. received a copy of a somewhat dubious recording of a supposed
ghost at the COOP supermarket, Penzance. We immediately questioned
the authenticity of this recording (a second is missing and there
are some major misgivings about its authenticity).
Later that week the tape appeared in the Cornishman and Daily
Star newspapers and on Channel 5, GMTV, SKY, and Carlton's Westcountry.
We were absolutely amazed to see it go this far and contacted
all of the above with our considered opinions.
All of these were completely uninterested in any possible factual
comments; we can only assume that sensationalism comes above realism.
Ian Addicoat was approached by Richard Felix (of Most Haunted
and who appeared on the Channel 5 programme, also now an honorary
member) to see if P.R.O. would assist him in an investigation
of the COOP for Channel 5.
We agreed but as of this moment the COOP have refused to cooperate
(for what reason there is no explanation but it does seem a trifle
suspicious).
19/09/03 Ian was approached by the Western Morning News for his
opinion of the video and they subsequently printed an article,
including his professional comments (at last a paper willing to
look at it seriously).
17/09/03 Investigation at the Peruvian Arms, Penzance
09/10/03 Geoff Wiltshire is regrettably no longer a committee
member of P.R.O. We wish to thanks Geoff for his past help with
the website and other contributions and wish him every success
for the future.
At this stage the committee has decided to continue to operate
with the six founding members and we will not be looking to replace
Geoff at this stage.
Thank you for those members who expressed a wish to join the committee.
Moore Consultants have kindly taken on website responsibilities
and P.R.O. thank them for their time and efforts. Fred Moore also
hopes to
carry out some investigations in the Hampshire area. Details will
be posted here when they are available.
09/10/03 Investigation at the Ship Inn, Porthleven
16/10/03 The West Briton, Helston prints a full page spread about
the investigation at the Ship Inn, Porthleven. Thanks to the West
Briton and Beverley Spina for a great article and braving the
whole investigation.

31/10/03 Spotlight TV Programme P.R.O. members Ian Addicoat, Ron
Kirby, Clifford Mitchell and Cherie Mitchell all take part in
a programme on Spotlight about Pengersick Castle (not linked specifically
to P.R.O.).
16/11/03 Confidential investigation Committee members were asked
to investigate a secret location in Cornwall, where poltergeist
and other supernatural occurrences have occurred. It proved to
be a very interesting evening and P.R.O. have been invited back,
this time with a full team, to carry out an all night investigation
(see below).
