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.
