Friday, 8.10 pm. For years I have logged voices from the house. Tonight I learned where some of them come from: the story and the hints in The Possession are played aloud, in English, into the room.
A team came out with a player who is hard of hearing. Her friends had passed on anything she missed, and she had spotted most of what they missed. Staff say the puzzles call on all sorts of abilities, and she proved it. She asked whether my meter hears ghosts. I said it hears something. She said, ‘So do I. Mostly my brother.’
Two of the team were visiting from overseas, with some English but not a great deal. Staff say a little reading is needed and a confident reader helps. The team had one, and she read aloud for everybody.
I asked whether the voices in the house had frightened them. One said it was the silences. I have started recording silences. It is harder than it sounds.
