Its been about six or seven months since I have moved away from Plymouth and moved into Bournemouth. After a couple of weeks since I moved house I visited Plymouth and barely wished to stay in Bournemouth. During my stay here and after explaining to Dan and the others what Bournemouth is like, Dan came up with the idea that everyone in the Summer should come and stay in Bournemouth for about a week. It'd be a great adventure. Six or so months later (Which brings us to today) Dan and me wonder if he should come up early. Dan knew he had a holiday from work coming up and he thought visiting would be a great idea.

Upon one night Dan was looking through Britons most haunted places over the internet. Him, me and Luke see ourselfs as...well we see ourselfs has three teenagers who love looking in very dark places looking for ghosts and play too much Silent Hill (Awesome computer game) We soon learn about the Crown Hotel which is supposably haunted. Dan and me talk about going there as he stays in Bournemouth for a while. We decide, as Luke is a big member in our ghost hunting team (or the only other member whatever) that Luke should come too. I'd have invited more people but what with such little room in my house I could only invite two. Otherise we'd have Nathan Samuel, Dan Nailer and a few others and probably about one thousand more videos on Dan's camera.

Well after many date changes and days the weekend eventually came up where Dan and Luke would be visiting. I went to college like normal, and after college I got a different bus into town where I got a yellow bus day rider ticket so I could go back and forth. I waited at home and tried to contact Dan on the phone. He was on the train at one point and I could hear their voices but I don't know if he knew I was on the phone. So I tried again later but got no answer, after about five tries Dan realised I had been trying to call him. Turns out they both had made a few videos on the camera and for some reason had walked away from the train station in search of me. I had no idea when they'd be there though, all I knew is it'd be some time after three in the afternoon.

So I told them to go back to the station and wait for me. I got a bus there with my day ride ticket and when I arrived, I looked around the train station for them. I couldn't find them so I went in search around the shops. I walked past Mcdonalds and other shops and decided they were still out of the interchange area (Area of choaches and trains) So I looked outside and inside of the shop 'American Golf' where they last said they were. They were not there. So I decided to have another search at the interchange where I heard famillier voices shouting. It was Dan and Luke who I swiftly ran to and hugged. I then proceeded to playfully kick them both for not staying put. Turns out they had gone for a Mcdonalds where I had walked past, they noticed me but didn't think it was me. Maybe it was my emo hair that didn't give me away. When they thought about it they realised "No wait that was Nathan."

So we decided to walk back to my house instead of getting the bus. It'd let them see the area more and breath in the good Bournemouth fresh air. On the way, we reminised about old times and Dan and Luke told me how their trip was and what they had been doing on the train ride. They have a few videos that Dan will post on youtube of them on the train and arriving in Bournemouth. They told me about annoying some people on the trains and how they got onto the different train rides.

When we arrived home, my step mother and brother were getting ready to fly off to Ireland for the weekend. My mum said her hellos and we all wondered what to eat for the night. It was just a simple night where we did more reminising and I noticed that since living in Plymouth I had never laughed so much or hard. Around ten at night we picked up the phone (Dan's mobile to be exact) We started off with Pizza hut where I won't go into all the details cause they're all on Dan's camera. (Dan is the technology handy man) Though heres three examples.

Me: "Hello I'd like to order a wonton soup."
Lady "Well than you'd probably want to try a chinese takaway this is Pizza Hut."
Me: "That'd be great."
Lady "No this is Pizza Hut."
Me: "Yes please"
Lady hangs up here.

Lady: "We closed at 10:30pm"
Luke: "But my clock says 9:00... no wait 9:01"

You'll get to see the rest of that and more when the videos are uploaded.

After our prank calls we just talked and talked and talked and talked some more throughout the night and didn't go to bed untill about five in the morning. Even after Dan and Luke spoke more. I slept in my bedroom while the other two had the living room.

Next day (or later that day) we woke up around two in the afternoon. At least I woke up. Luke was also up though lying down. Well we ate and such and I had a go on Silent Hill Origins on Dan's PSP which is a pretty awesome game. About an hour later I rang the hotel and asked about a room. We'd be staying in room three which was supposably haunted. So, me, Dan and Luke went to get a bus, well first we wanted a Subway so we trekked out on a long walk and indeed got a subway. Dan and Luke had sandwhiches and drinks and I just had a coke. I wasn't too hungry.

We then went to get a bus which didn't want to show up, we ended up getting a yellow bus which took such a long route to our destination: Poole Town Centre (Named the Dolphen Centre) When we finally got there my mum rang and she gave me the directions to the hotel. Well she said the back of the pubs and as we walked down the very long road called 'High Street' we saw the pubs and ended up walking around them and in a complete circle. We kept asking people for directions, some getting us more lost. It wasn't untill three chaps at a bar told us to go down a place called 'Church Street' that lead us to 'Market Street' where we indeed found 'The Crown Hotel'

When we got in, the guy who I spoke to on the phone noticed us at once. He had never seen us before but I suppose he just figured the three teenagers I mentioned fitted our description. He asked me about it being room three and then went to ask the manager. The manager then spoke to me and told us that we were rather late on arriving and that room three was taken and we could have room five and six for the same price. Me, Dan and Luke talked it over for about ten seconds or so, decided we'd still have great fun and agreed. So the manager, who the three of us thought as rather intimidating took us to our rooms which were conviently right across the hall from each other. (Though we hardly used my room)

So we all went into room five the room we spent most of our time in. We took videos of my room, the hallway outside and the before and after of room five. We began things off by moving around the furniture and putting the beds into sort of an L shape. We made lots of noise and I was making tea while the other two continued at it and started stacking up the two beds. Dan made a slide and rolled down it which made such a huge thump I was pretty sure the whole bar two floors down heard it. We drank our tea...well I drank my tea, Dan's tea and Luke's coffee were hardly tasted and we made a bit of a mess with the sugar too. We decided to get some food from Asda as we didn't want to get any food from the pub. When we finally got through the bitter cold and finally found an entrance to the twenty-four hour Asda we got lots of food including Pot Noodles, one of which Luke brought was a really hot flavour.

Not too long later we got back to the hotel rooms we watched some TV in room five. I had brought a box of mints and ate a few and we just talked for awhile as we looked to see whats on the TV. For a few seconds it all went quiet and then I decided the place was too clean, so I tipped all my rubbish including the mint box on the floor. We started not giving a damn about the room and played more with the beds and we made a sandwhich bed, putting one perfectly on top of the other. We then put them back into their normal places, well one of them we moved next to the wardrobe for some reason.

Either Dan or Luke decided to pour the lucazade we brought from Asda into the kettle and than finally someone smashed a cream egg in it. I didn't stop them, I guess you could say I egged them on. I'll never say that again though Dan's egg video telling us how he felt was much worse.

We made lots of videos, one where Dan got ambushed by a nut (Luke) cramming a cream egg on his head, we made the almight video where Dan acted as our Drama teacher Mr Levy and Luke acted out his wife. Mr Levy had a s**t day at work and Mrs Levy turned out to be a man. They get into a fight, Mr Levy gets locked into a cupboard and gets accused of being a closet gay, and only untill we were halfway through the video did I notice Mr Levy had came home from work wearing no shoes. Mr Levy blamed it on his own religeon and said he didn't wear shoes.

I won't go through all the details and instead I'll wait for all the videos which I'll post on a seperate bullitin. They're well funny.

We couldn't use the kettle anymore so we used the kettle in my room to boil up the guys pot noodles. We also watched TV and Dan thought it'd be funny to write on the walls in chocholate. I'll get a picture of what he wrote later, it was love from the three of us though. It was up to me to clean it all off. I used hot water and bathroom paper stuff to get it off. Dan tried himself but couldn't get it off and next door made us jump because someone banged on the wall hard to shut us up. ******** did that scare us. I also got half naked and scared Luke... and Dan even though he knew I was going to do it. Though that was a gay moment half the time Dan and Luke were doing pretend gay sex and making gay comments. I swear they're both gay together. Thats right ladies and Emma. Shocked faces for all.

We made about 100 videos if Dan and Luke made any on the way home that is.

It was getting close to midnight, I decided we'd get down to what we went there for. (Well one of the things we went there for. One of the main reasons were to have fun and make a mess) So because of the rooms state we all went to my room. We turned the lights off and waited 10 minutes while taking a video of the room in night vision. We didn't see much at first but we did see some orbs like you see on 'Most Haunted'. I realised it was just because cars were passing outside though. We all spent at least five minutes alone in the room with the camera. I went first after losing a rock paper sissors game. I was a bit creeped at first, but it only took about ten seconds to feel good because I just started talking to the camera as if it were my best friend. I saw more orbs all to do with the cars, than I heard weird dripping noises. Water was dripping somewhere, but where? No one was using the bathrooms at the time and I'm not sure where the water was coming from. I made a joke on the camera saying "I bet Dan and Luke have made a joke about me dying." AND THEY HAD MADE A JOKE ABOUT THAT. Shows how well I know the, except for I was hung not just randomly dead. Anywho, I obviously didn't die and after about ten minutes it was Luke's turn. He was in less time than me, about five minutes. He saw orbs and such but when he heard the dripping of the water he was so outta there. Dan heard the dripping too but what he saw was alot of orbs all at once and there were no cars going by at the time.

We have all that of video.

After that we decided to go into the dark in room five because it was much colder. We all felt daring and we tried all sorts. We saw ******** loads of orbs and had no answer to why the showed up and to why they only showed up on the camera. I at first thought they only showed up because of the reflection of the light on the mirror, but when I tried moving the camera back and forth an orb stayed in posistion and when I stopped the camera the orb moved really fast in a zig-zag like motion. Dan seemed to have pissed off whatever was in there by thinking it was a transvesti after we asked it to move left it was a girl or right if it was a boy only to see it go down instead. The orbs seemed to be center of attension around the wardrobe and around Luke's head when he sat near it. After all the orbs it seemed to go all silent, we seemed to piss the ghost off so much that nothing showed up anymore. Suddenly, there was a strange breathing noise coming from the wardrobe.

Luke: "Dan was that you?"
Dan: "...no."
Luke and Dan screamed which made me scream a high pitched squeal. We ran for it. Light on, and outside. With the light on we felt better but our hearts were racing. Dan and Luke both heard a strange breathing from the wardrobe. It sounded like a girl breathing in and then out again in a deadly manner. Again we have all this on film, though I'm afraid I didn't pick up the breathing or the dripping of the water on the camera, you also won't hear the cars passing by when we were in my room.

We have alot of videos about us talking about the strange stuff. Was the dripping just random pipes? Do pipes make those noises? Are there really ghosts there? How do these orbs appear and why only on the camera? We tried filming my living room in the dark but we saw no orbs, maybe one from a car. Is it because there was a mirror in the room? What the ******** was that breathing?

We spent the rest of the night trying to get more weird happenings but nothing really happened though I kept scaring myself because of the light reflecting on the doritos bag Dan was holding. Eventually we watched TV and went to bed, I played a bit of Silent Hill Origins and we all fell asleep.

In the morning I woke up to the sound of my mobile ringing. It was my mum on the phone and she said we'd probably have to get up soon because paying for one night only the cleaner would be cleaning the room and we'd have to leave. I took a look round the room, video taped the room and said "...s**t!" I did my best to clean the room and I got all my stuff. The cleaner was a Japanese lady and she was very strict, I wouldn't say much Japanese hospitality from her cause she was rather moody. Well I escaped and gave the key back to the cleaner. I waited outside the hotel where a chav rode by on his bike and called me a "Dirty ******** grebo." ******** hell, I would have knocked his teeth in if I cared.

I got a phone call after eleven in the morning from Dan asking me to come into the pub to give my key in that I already returned. I think the manager woman (not the guy from the night before) just wanted me in there to tell me and everyone else that we were banned. The Japanese cleaner lady kept saying that room five was so "MESSSSSSYYYYYYY" but not as loud. But god we got the picture.

After shopping all over the place and Dan buying a few new clothes and both Dan and Luke full on orgasmed over MAMBO clothing, we returned to my house, where I ended up falling asleep at some point. Dan and Luke went to get a tan at the sunbed tanning salon. They must have looked gay going in together. Later that night we made really funny videos and joked about the Japanese cleaner lady and talked and talked. Again more videos!

That night we also played games on the Wii and PS2 including Silent Hill 2, Ice Climbers and Super Mario Brothers for about 5 minutes each. Dan and Luke also played Pokemon Snap which took them about two hours and thirty minutes to complete. They haven't snapped all the pokemon but they did finish the main part of it.

Sunday we all woke up very late, we hardly did much but talk all day, Luke and Dan got some chips and Luke found out that he had to go back home that night because he had a job interview the next day. So after realising the sunbed salon was closed (though I kinda figured) me and my mum took Dan and Luke to the interchange where they got a train back to Plymouth. They know the rest of the story from there.

All in all it was a brilliant weekend, though next time we gotta plan more of what we're gonna do each day. But it was awesome! I can't wait to go to Plymouth and see everyone in two weeks time.
