01:30 AM: Final Briefing

Discussion with all 4 groups with regards to the activity felt subjectively by all and their impressions. Soldiers, Battles, Children and past reported figures by other paranormal investigation teams and staff were recorded or experienced.
This was a heavy data extensive investigation, the largest conducted with such depth by us, stepping outside normal event guidelines and into a more data-gathering exercise. As such we await further data from our teams on the night.

Overall Findings and Conclusion

Paranormal Activity: The investigation captured a broad spectrum of phenomena, from EVPs and ITC communications to unexplained auditory evidence like footsteps, indicating a high level of potential paranormal activity.
Significant Discoveries: The consistent references to historical figures and events, especially related to the Battle of Bannockburn, and the repeated identification of the name "Jim," suggest specific entities are present and attempting to communicate.
Areas for Further Investigation: The Blue Room, the Burnt Room, the kitchen, and areas where footsteps were heard merit further detailed exploration. The historical and personal connections, especially regarding "Jim" and the soldier references, require deeper investigation to uncover more about the spirits' identities and their stories.

Correlations and Highlights

References to soldiers and fighting, such as "Army," "I died in a sword fight," and historical names suggest a strong connection to Scottish history and possibly the Battle of Bannockburn.
The recurrence of child-related terms and female references may indicate past events linked to family and servitude at the location.
Dark energy or negative entities are hinted at with phrases like "The devil is real," "He’s Dangerous," and "The lady attacks people."

Methodology Note

The data from ITC devices are part of experimental techniques in paranormal investigation, aiming to detect and interpret potential spirit communications. While some responses may appear random, those aligned with the site's known history are particularly noteworthy.

Initial Conclusion

The coherence in the ITC sessions with the historical backdrop of Bannockburn House provides compelling leads for further investigation. The recurring themes of battle, historical figures, and personal names deepen the narrative of the paranormal activities reported at this site. Continued analysis and correlation with documented history will be essential in interpreting these findings.
