This was a Charity Ghost Tour one night and a Investigative follow-up the next that allowed us to focus on EVP capture areas from the last visit that yielded names as well as letting our guest investigators participate and test some new equipment. As we captured so many EVPs on the last trip we asked a lot of redundant questions on this one hoping to get some confirmations. This trip yielded activity and captures spread out on multiple floors again including some on the first floor. We had never really experienced anything there in all the visits.

First Night:
We all arrived at 9pm to conduct the Charity Ghost Tour with four raffle winners and a Employee source that also knew some of the history but who was reluctant at first to come along. Thankfully, she was a trooper and came along. She provided some operational information we had not been aware of before. We would like to thank the Site Staff and our guests for making this a very informative and productive investigation. After some instruction the guests then participated in taking baseline readings and photographs for each floor which stood between 74-76dg and 0.0 to 0.5mg


Several incidents occurring that night with the first occuring on a upper floor. Two cameras malfunctioned at the same time ( a guest and an investigator). Both cameras lost power for about two minutes, lcd monitors went black, no power indicator lights and then both came back on at the same time. On the first floor an investigator felt a presence and saw what appeared to be an older man with an old timey nightshirt with a drawstring walking. Later when the investigator walked into a cold spot, investigator2 took temperature measurement showing from 74 to 75dg which was in the baseline taken earlier. Investigator1 then complained of a heaviness in the chest and a wave of heat (observed sweating heavily and hands shaking). Investigator2 facing Investigator1 then did another temperature reading to the left, front and right side of investigator1. On the left side of Investigator1 the temperature had spiked to 81dg. Later review shows an evp was captured during this period.

Following Day: Two investigators spent the day collecting documentation and information to validate an EVP name given during the last investigation. They were successful in finding a historical document listing the family and members(copied), the old home of the individual complete with mailbox and name(photographed), family cemetery plots(photographed), death index listing with birth and death date and phone book references giving the name and address over a twenty year period.

Second Night:
Due to high humidity we were unable to conduct the static electricity test. To see a picture of the home made Van de Graff Generator, click here . The four other guest team members were however able to test some new and very interesting monitoring and video capture equipment. An array of recording equipment was installed in the hopes of repeating some of the answered questions from the last investigation for validation and clarification purposes. All media is still in the review process.
