 Cast
Wendy Carless – Wendy is the current owner of the home
which is known as the old Blueberry Inn. She will be
interviewed about the Inn, and we will be filming inside her
home. She is the most important part of this documentary as
she holds the most information about the hauntings and will
provide us with everything, we need including old photographs
of previous owners and the inn.

Kalpana Peigne – Kali is a previous owner at the inn. She lived

there in the 2000’s for a few years. She has been informed of
the subject in which I will be interviewing her on and has
agreed to answer them. Meaning she must have some
information on the hauntings or maybe some experiences
which she can share with us. I will be interviewing her in her
home.

Charley Hawkins – Charley used to work at the Inn when she

was a teenager. Her and her family lived in the village during
the time it was known as The Blueberry Inn. She is still a local
to this day and now lives in the village with her family. She has
agreed to an interview which will take place in her house where
I will ask her about the Inn and anything she may know about
it.

Ruby – I will be interviewing every member of the cast and you

will hear me narrating throughout the documentary. I will
explain what is being shown on screen. Another member of
crew will be following me with a camera as I explore the house
and look around.

 Contingency Plan

Contingency Plan
I’m the case that there is any problems with the location chosen or the
interviewees in my production, I have produced a plan with two back up
interviewees and locations.

Back up interviewees

George Long
georgelong@gmail.com

Liz Thacker
lizthacker@icloud.com

Back up locations

New Inn Cottage, London Road, Blewbury, Didcot OX11 9PD

4 London Rd, Blewbury, Didcot OX11 9NX

If Wendy can’t do the dates or for some reason can’t do the interviews, I have
two back ups.
George long lives right next door to The Blewbury Inn so has a lot of information
on the Inn as a result of living so nearby.

If for some reason George can’t make it then the last choice I have is Liz
Thacker. She lives just up the road from The Blewbury Inn, and her father used
to be landlord at the Inn.
