The bell was more than likely used in the garden to alert anyone working or praying outside. Such as two dings for dinner and/or three dings for prayer time. It was a communication device.

Every time I see the kitchen in the view of the opening of the show it’s so beautiful and it seems to become so much more each time. I see it with the golden glow around the room. Giving it a true and distinct feeling and ambience of an old classic Victorian kitchen. ( better yet… what you actually start cooking some wonderful things in there, The aroma will match the ambience of the room. And become One in its own !

Simon is really intrigued by the strange noises. Billy seems unnerved by “this creepy place”! Maybe time to spend the night??? Not alone, tho! Wonder who would volunteer? Simon and Yanis are making short work of getting the hallway all prepared for plaster work. Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻

Exciting! Now there is definitely something making noises. I’m so curious to what it might be.

[@blueice011]

Very much so! It might be sensitivity of the mic or proximity of the noise source, but banging is rather loud and clear, it seems it's closer than it was in previous recordings. Perhaps it's time to contact paranormal investigation channel that has already got in touch with Billy explaining that they were staying in the convent during few nights when it wasn't purchased by Gwen and Billy yet. They have the gear for further exploration. It's spooky, curious and humbling at the same time. Whatever it may be, respectful and cautious approach would be wise. And some spiritual guidance, perhaps, from a priest or someone who knows how to deal with such occurrences if proved to be something otherwise inexplicable.

[@thomasewing2656]

It's the ghost of the person displaced by the monastery in 1773.

[@cathystrong4314]

Love your dad! Hard working guy! All of you are. That place is pretty spooky on all levels. Just found your channel and will be watching all your videos. Fascinating!!

[@bry_mac-tyred]

As for the suspected haunting/ mystery sounds, my grandmother used to spread flour and/or salt on hardwood and laminated floors, on occasion powdery sand or wood dust. The results were mainly field mice were making their way into the farmhouse to prepare for winter. Perhaps give the area a sweep to remove your traffic and dust the floors?

[@margaretporcello5871]

What a wonderful idea.

[@cattoes5]

If it is ghost , the more construction you do the more they will be active. But you would think there would be at least some voices .I really wouldn't worry about anything that would harm you if they haven't done anything so far.

There was voices in the background ,you need to slow down the recordings to get the best possible answers .

Billy, it could be thermal expansion/contraction of the old structure around the elevator shaft. It also could be a squatter/explorers. Could you place the device in the elevator shaft or near it to see if the noises are louder?

[@michellebyrom6551]

I live in a house with zinc outer walls. Before the insulation in the roof was greatly improved, the house was Very noisy. It took me 2 to 3 years not to wake up and walk through the house, just to be sure no one had broken in. I continued to wake in spring and autumn on the noisiest nights for the next decade. I've also lived in 16th and 17th houses with a lot of wood framing and wooden walls. The noises in the recording are more like someone moving furniture, or metal buckets to mop the floor. It definitely doesn't sound like wood or metal expanding/contracting.

[@thomas-i5o7h]

Listening to the sounds on the recorder, it sounds to me like there are is a voice or two mixed in with all the thumping and banging.

[@Eowyn3Pride]

Yeah, I thought I heard that also, especially in the last bit of noises...🤔

[@DarkMartianFighter]

Previous recordings could be explained by birds (even though they are rather similar despite being recorded in different places). But yesterday’s is just too many different noises. As much as I like ghost stories, I have a feeling as if something is living/hiding in the building and comes out at night. The latest recording definitely seems like someone is walking around banging on stuff.

[@GyurlTrini]

Hey Billy! I have a suggestion regarding the footsteps your Dad heard ... try to replicate it if you can ... basically, maybe your Dad goes back to where he was when he first heard it (maybe someone else with him who can give a secondary experience) then someone goes upstairs directly above his head and walks around & let's see if that sounds the same (it may sound like footsteps, but, it might be softer or harder & that might indicate the distance - maybe it was in the attic or something & he just thought it was that top floor?). Also, just for comparison, you can have other people in other parts of the building ... for example moving around where you guys were at the given point in time ... just because there's also a possibility that if a sound travels through pipes, or something else, for example, it may sound like it's coming from one direction, but, in reality, it's coming from something else or from a different direction ... also, what may sound like footsteps might actually be a loose floorboard or old pipes knocking against each other.

there is lots of plausible sources for the noise, an animal or bird, a car or truck, something banging in the wind. The bizzare part is that it seems somewhat consistent each night throughout different areas, and usually only for a short amount of time. A bird or animal or cars driving by would be throughout the night one would think.

[@lua99lovinit56]

There are motion activated cameras that are used to track wildlife that also work at night. They are small and made to be mounted on trees and along trails. Might be worth installing a few on each floor to catch who or whatever is making night noises

Wow Billy! You look fantastic!

[@TheMcDermottFiles]

A friend of mine back in 1989 told me about a time he was at a bothy in Scotland. He went up with a couple of family friends who had restored the place. The place has an upstairs 2 bedrooms and no carpets throughout. He was standing in the living room area when he heard someone coming downstairs with boots on, the stairway is walled so you can't see who's coming down until they're at the bottom, he obviously thought it was one of the people he was with but as the steps neared the bottom he saw his friends outside by the Loch edge, he flew out the building. There was nobody else in the bothy it was only them there. He lives in South Africa now and still talks about it to this day. He said it was loud and you couldn't mistake it for anything else.

[@marilynnorourke56]

If you are still hearing footsteps -you can sweep the floor clean and then put down powder to see if there are any fresh footprints. I can only imagine how much residual energy has built up in the convent. It's been my understanding that renovations cause the activity to increase. .You might find tools have been moved,materials have been moved,doors may shut,lights will flicker or you will hear a variety of sounds.

You’re going to have to get everyone together- And do a complete sweep of the building - Starting at the very very top - The furthest point - And work your way all the way to the basement . That way, you can make sure that there isn’t any human , (or animal, but that’s highly unlikely) In the building . Then like someone else said - Gather the courage and everyone spend the night !
