Ghost Hunter Log #1

Ghost Hunter Log #1 : 10:07 am.

Went downstairs to examine apparatus laid from previous night. Girlfriend annoyed at talcum powder all over carpet to catch 'ghost foot prints'...no 'ghost foot prints' but lots of kitten paw prints over carpet, onto sofa, up curtains.

Baseline temperature test rendered ineffective by forgetting to turn off heating, timed to come on at 7 am. Girlfriend again annoyed that I then switched off heating at mains as she has to find instructions to re-programme it. Interestingly, kitten prints found ontop of boiler.

Girlfriend annoyed that I tied string to all the furniture in order to measure any kinetic movement and distance of movement, as she tripped over trying to clean talc off curtains.

Audio recording records an hour and a half of a kitten purring then suddenly stops; the dictaphone was found knocked off the mantelpiece. A possible lead?

Video recording rendered ineffective as kitten spends an hour playing with a letter for girlfriend infront of lens of camera. Camera then records kitten knocking dictaphone off mantelpiece with paw to then fall asleep infront of camera lens, bottom first.

Apparatus set up to record possible 'automatic writing', that of a piece of chalk set vertically in a wheeled caddy on top of a rectangle of black board, rendered useless by kitten paw prints all over blackboard.

Girlfriend annoyed by tooth and claw marks in a letter sent by her bank as it contained a cheque from Santander.

Girlfriend annoyed that all windows were taped shut in order to secure draughts from spoiling temperature and talc tests; girlfriend points out that it 'is not the 1930s', 'we do not live in Borley Rectory' and that we 'have double glazing'.

Girlfriend throws out my 'ghost hunter' cravat and pipe in exasperation, after kitten paw prints are found all over the desk in her studio. I manage to hide my 'ghost hunter' bullwhip.
