This former coaching inn and grade 2 listed building in Derby’s Market Place dates back prior to 1648 where it is first mentioned in a deed. Over recent years it has undergone several name changes from its original name of The George to Lafferty’s and now to its current name of Jorrocks. |

| In 1993 repairs were required in the pubs cellar where the impact of barrels from the cellar drop had left their mark on the concrete floor. As the workmen removed the old concrete and dug down to create new foundations a grizzly discovery was made as a skull was unearthed. The police were called and the skull was taken away for forensic examination, but later returned as it was very old and therefore didn’t warrant any further investigation. The skull now takes pride of place behind the bar and can easily be seen by patrons of the pub. |

Dowsing Session At the far of the building, this was originally an outside courtyard Dowsers were: - Anne, John, Frank and Leanne Markers were: - Sue, Eleanor, Phillip and Tina Questions: - Karl, Video - Chris Whilst Sue was taking answers from Anne, the spirit did not seem to want to talk using the pendulum however, a strange knocking could be heard when listening to the voice recorder which was placed on the table. There is complete silence except for Karl who was asking questions and there is no explanation for the knocking which was heard. Later on Eleanor informed Sue that she had asked the spirits to knock or just to let us know in a different way if they did not wish to use the pendulum. |

Glass Divination We made contact with a boy aged around 4, he was not very talkative and the glass moved very slightly, he says he was lost and doesn’t need our help. The boy lived in this area but died apparently in the brook, his sister was meant to be looking after him. During our glass moving footsteps were heard above, so Tina, Chris, John and Phillip went to have a look, nobody or thing could be found in the room above, we were all occupied watching the glass when the footsteps were heard. Sue said her back was freezing all the way through, and when we had finished her body temperature went back to normal. Participants: - Ann, Frank, Sue and John |

Planchette |

|
Automatic Writing Séance with Planchette in rear left corner of bar. The Planchette was moving all the time and active, it went off the paper the first time and was to move onto a second sheet. Various questions were asked, when the sheet was full a third sheet of paper was placed on the board and the young boy came back, he told Tina his name was Luke. Luke was enjoying drawing and the Planchette and it would not stop moving, which was the answer for yes. When we asked the question “do you want to be taken into the light” the Planchette moved so we took this as a “YES”. Luke by now was getting tired so we stopped and said we will talk to him later.

Rocking Spirit Board (Cellar) We made contact with on a lady who used to own or run the pubic house or inn, but she did not want to disclose any information, perhaps she just watching over to make sure everything is run to her satisfaction. There were spirits present but they did not appear to want to communicate so we closed the session. Temperature & E.M.F readings |
