In the Field Tonight!

I'm very excited to have the chance to go back with my teammates at SPI to a site we investigated a few weeks ago.

The site is an abandoned firehouse that used to be a private residence before that. There are many stories from fireman of odd happenings there including the ghost of a small girl that answers the telephone when people called! There have been several reports of apparitions including the girl and an old man in overalls.

We were out there a few weeks back since the site is being demolished now that it is unused and has some structural problems. While there we had some very interesting experiences including strange temperature fluctuations, the fact that the house reads with meters like it has electricity but there's no connection to the grid, physical contact, IR lights falling, and at least three EVP's!

Yes, that's three EVP's. Now I should explain, that's 3 EVP's that got by our internal review process whereby we make sure:
  1. It's not one of us.
  2. It's not some natural noise.
  3. It's not tape contamination.
  4. What spectrum range the sound is in.
  5. Cue it against all other audio and video to verify where everyone was and if any other device caught the anomaly.
Once it passes our review it then gets sent out to the TAPS Family and International Paranormal Investigators (another umbrella group) for further review and analysis. So far, they have passed muster on all accounts! Very exciting!

Now, thanks to a holdup in the demolition of the site we have a last shot at getting some more solid evidence out there. We've got three nights beginning tonight to hit the site with everything we've got!

We did have a case last time of a door opening, but it was caught only on still cameras, not video. So, this time we're hoping our friends will cooperate again and we can get it on video too.

This should be a great investigation tonight and I can't wait to see what happens!

Fingers crossed. Hope you find something. It's rare to find such regularly active sites so when you do, it's good to be there as much as possible. I know of a group in Oklahoma that set up a permanent investigation (remote cams, etc...) at an abandoned hospital, now privately-owned. They have permission from the owners to have their equipment running all the time and they investigate frequently. Downside= I don't think it is all that active a location.

We did have another interesting night. It'll be nice to see what the evidence shows. Unfortunately, we had to work without a generator this time since one of our teams members turned up ill and was unable to bring it. That meant going with handhelds mainly. Still, we had some unusual personal experiences and a couple early photos show some interesting results. We'll have to work on debunking them before saying one way or the other though.

We're back tonight (Sunday) for another look. We'll see what happens this time!
