investigations
Shall we begin? In the
summer of 2001 we did our very first investigation of a haunted apartment.
We heard of the site through a friend. She told us that the family living
there had moved out, due to their paranormal experiences. We did some research
on the place, and it seems as though the activity had started in the last
year. Or no one had reported it to the manager until recently. We contacted
the manager and she told us what the family had told her. It seems that they
had seen an apparition in the hallway to their bedroom, and had had their
bed shaken while they were in it. Water faucets had turned on by themselves,
and unexplained "knocking" could be heard. The people in the adjacent
apt. had heard the knocking on several occasions.
Needless to say, we were intrigued and decided to investigate. Our first step
was to go to the place in daylight and check it out. We also snapped some
pics while we were there. Then we entered the apt to see the layout, and where
the family had said was the center of activity. While we were inside (about
30 minutes) one of our team felt several cold spots. The inside temperature
was 75 degrees F. Another of our team started to feel sick. We all felt uneasy
in the place.
Two days later is when we started the investigation. We arrived at 9 p.m.
The weather was clear. We entered the apartment and walked around in it for
20 minutes so the "spirits" could get used to us. Then we loaded
the cameras and set up the recorder. We then started taking photos and recording.
We stayed inside for 2 hours, until the film was used up. I also stood and
watched the bedroom door close. It was rather creepy. We took pics in every
room of the apartment, and recorded mostly in the back bedroom. One of the
team also felt several cold spots.
When we recorded the back room, we left it and closed the door. I have no
way to post what we found, but we did pick up a breathing noise and a knocking
sound. The mic and recorder worked fine before entering but after about 15
minutes malfunctioned. That or the spirit(s) did not want to be recorded because
when we arrived at home, we tested the mic and recorder and they were working
fine.
On this site I have posted all of the pics where we got a "hit".
I leave it to you whether we captured ghosts on film or not.
