Investigation 4 Evidence Review

Investigation 4 Evidence Review:

On December 1st we had investigation 4 of the location in Western North Carolina. We certainly had some very incredible experiences while being there.

Just minutes after beginning our investigation, we were given many interesting experiences. While on the 1st floor of this location, we heard a very loud slamming noise. Whatever this was had some serious weight to it. This happened twice in a row. As we paused and listened we asked for another sign that the spirits were there with us. We were given a tapping sound from the end of a hallway. As we approached, the tapping stopped. As we returned to were we heard the slamming, again, another tapping sound, very much like the tick-tock of a clock, again coming from the end of the hallway. As we returned to this location, the sound stopped and above us, was an extremely loud slam! If there was someone above us, we surely would have none it. This location has suffered greatly over the years. Without any care or climate control, all the floor tiles have come unglued. Making it impossible to move around with out great audible repercussions. We were alone!

As far as personal experiences that was about the extent of it. At the end of the night we ended up with over 5 hours of audio which has taken me some time to go over. What I found was truly interesting!

About 5 minutes into the investigation, a group member was talking about exploring the outside of the building. While he is speaking, the voice recorder picked up on a female laugh that is truly bizarre! To be honest, I am not sure if this sort of laugh can even be made my human means. One thing is for sure, it wasn't any of the six male members of the group that were there that night.

Later on in the investigation, one of our team mates is talking about the location and a voice was recorded saying "I hate this place."

That was one of the more interesting EVPs. We did capture some others, but they were so faint it is impossible to make out.

In conclusion, after 4 investigations into this location, I have no other recourse but to state this location as being haunted!

We have the EVPs, we have strange photos, strange sounds, and many of our own personal experiences (feelings and etc). Not only this but the location is the perfect setting for a haunting. So many deaths, so much suffering. The ones that died here certainly where not finished with what their lives had in store for them.

We will certainly be investigating this location again. Every time that we return the activity is increasing!

Of course, I would like to ask for some Haunted location ideas. I appreciate all the recent emails from the readers and welcome all to give us a shout out. Would love to hear from you all.

Newspaper Nonsense.

I had to take a break from reviewing the audio evidence from Saturday's Investigation. I was looking through Google for some haunted locations in Boone, NC and came across an article that was published online at

http://www.wataugademocrat.com/2007/1015/greenparkghosts.php on October 17th.

Basically a paranormal group called, The Hauntmasters Club, based in East Tennessee (www.hauntmastersclub.com), investigated the Green Park Inn in Blowing Rock, NC.

I read over the article and really found it to be quite ridiculous.

The article really focused on the groups feelings and so on and I have to state that this is really a bad way to go Ghost Hunting. While your feelings are certainly important in any situation, but when Ghost Hunting you are looking for actual evidence, not feelings of loneliness. In situations like this, it is easy for your mind to take hold and really create situations that you may believe to be paranormal.



Another thing that bothered me was a photo of man laying under the bed. Very unprofessional. The caption to the photo reads..."Jake Denton checks under the bed for both spooks and any easily explainable sources of electromagnetic radiation."

Come on. Any Ghost Hunter with a serious frame of mind would really find this disheartening. It is clear this person is playing around and I would find this disrespectful.

~~
I checked out their site and looked at the evidence from their investigation of the Green Park Inn and found a video that they had posted on youtube. I will post it here as well.



The caption to the video says this..."This is one of the more impressive surveillance videos from Room 318, allegedly the most haunted room in the hotel, at the Green Park Inn in Blowing Rock, North Carolina."

Watch the video and what do you see? I believe what they are claiming to be impressive is the "orbs" that fly by. Twice I believe.

To myself and the group this is nothing more than dust or a bug/insect that is out of focus in the room. Orbs are extremely hard to actually prove because the cause of them can be just about anything.

This is a great example of where different paranormal groups really differ in investigation techniques and how they analyze evidence. Unless there is something very odd about an "orb," in most cases it is something that was captured in the way of the lens, either it is too fast moving or too small to focus on.

This is just something that I wanted to touch on. Look for results from Investigation 4 soon.

Suggestions:

We are looking for some suggestions on locations to investigate. I have received some good emails regarding locations and we would love some more. All locations will be considered. If you can include information about the location, addresses and any personal experiences that would be great.

We look forward to hearing from you all.

Thank you all for your emails!

Keep checking back!

Investigation 4: Results Preview

Saturday night was certainly very interesting. I am beginning to review the evidence now. We have captured some very interesting photos and had some very interesting personal experiences.

At the moment I have reviewed about 3 hours out of the 5 hours of audio that was recorded. Out of the 3 hours I have reviewed so far i have found one very strange EVP! I will be posting it soon.

In a few hours I will be posting all the evidence that was found and a run down of our experiences.

Stay tuned.

Investigation 4: Details

Investigation 4 is now in the preparation stage. We have the location set for tonight. The equipment is ready along with our group.

The same equipment will be used but with the additions of another Digital Voice Recorder and addition Video Recorder.

This brings to the equipment to...

3 d.voice recorders.
2 camcorders with night mode
3 - 4 digital cameras

Tonight we will also be bringing a long a white noise generator to see if this helps with our evp recordings.

So far with our investigations we have been getting a surprising amount of Evps. With such active locations this is suspected.

As of 4:12pm we have six members signed on for the investigation. Our plan is to really simplify the investigation process tonight. We will split into 3 groups, each armed with digital camera, digital recorders.

Two groups will have camcorders that will be placed in certain locations for constant recording while the investigation is to be taking place.

With this investigation, we will be setting up groups in different locations of the facility. Instead of covering lots of ground, each group will be focused on asking questions and capturing EVPs.

During the last hour of the investigation we will be forming one large group and will be in the "hottest" location from our past investigations. We will tempt to get evps by asking questions in a large group setting.

It is clear that the spirits in this location are definitely more comfortable with us being there. It is also clear that they remember who we are.

I will update again before the investigation begins tonight.
