THANKS ANDI FOR THE FOLLOWING WRITE-UP:
HISTORY
The present site of Pat O’ Briens on 718 St. Peters street in New Orleans was built
in 1791 and first housed a Spanish theatre. It was later the private residence of
the Deflechie family until it was purchased by Pat O’ Brien in 1942 to be used as a
bar now that prohibition had ended. It is now a restaurant and bar with a rich
atmosphere and dueling piano’s. With one side facing bourbon street it is a well
established and well known haunt for tourists and locals alike. The staff is second
to none and I highly recommend a visit when your in town.
INVESTIGATION
We arrived at Pat O’s around 8pm on a Monday night. Business was booming and
we couldn’t figure out why it was so busy for a weeknight. We came to find out
that we had made the mistake of doing the investigation on 3-10 which some of
you know is the night before one of the biggest concerts every year in New
Orleans, the 3-11 concert.
We set up our equipment and focused our attention on the upstairs apartments
over the restaurant on Bourbon Street where most of the activity is reported. We
would later be moving our equipment into the bar side of the establishment and
into Pat O’s old office which is now used as a store room and where the
apparition of Pat O himself has been seen. It is unknown who could be haunting
the apartments, but several people have reported doors closing on their own,
footsteps and even shadows passing by them while walking down the hall. By the
time we got our equipment set up and running the din had grown outside and the
crowd was so large and noisy it made it hard to hear anything out of the ordinary.
If there were spirits speaking to us that night we would not have heard them over
the street noise. We plodded on, and made the best of it. We had very little activity,
probably due to the noise. Brandon and Kris did report a significant temperature
fluctuation in one of the apartments after they had asked if the spirit could lower
the temperature. This fluctuation was greater than 5 degrees and was
accompanied by K-2 readings of high EMF fields when yes or no questions were
asked. The episode was brief but seemed to be significant. With the growing
noise outside and the introduction of a massive-brighter than day-spotlight
outside the windows, we decided to prematurely end the investigation. The
circumstances guaranteed that anything we may have captured would be
contaminated evidence. There was nothing captured on audio (except for the
party outside) and nothing on video. Unfortunately, we were simply unable to
capture anything under the circumstances.
We are definitely looking at follow-up of the bar, due to its rich history and years of
reported activity.
