HISTORY
For privacy reasons, we have decided to keep the location and name of this
investigation confidential. The only history we will disclose is that this area once
served as a Priory and was built around the 1950s.
ACTIVITY
This place has been long discussed in local legends as being haunted. When
researching this site, we found many urban legends such as kids coming up
missing after visiting this location, as well as rooms that once you enter, you
never would leave. Obviously, stories conjured up by kids, yet the intrigue of the
area quickly drew our attention.
INVESTIGATION
Due to the enormous size of the building, we quickly realized that running a full
DVR/Infrared system would be useless, so we decided to go "old school", using
only handhelds, digital cameras, voice recorders, and EMF meters. The building is
comprised of an ominous entrance, holding a massive altar. The building then
branched off into long and narrow wings, containing dorm-style rooms. The place
literally looked like something out of a movie, definitely having a "spook factor" to
it.
We broke into two small groups to conduct the investigation. About 15 minutes
into it, Brandon stepped on a piece of broken glass, going through his shoe and
sticking him in his foot (Dangers of Ghost Hunting:) He sat down near the altar to
check out his foot. In doing so, he placed his EMF meter on the ground.
Humorously, I began filming his foot, not realizing that the EMF meter next to him
began going off. This occurred three times, two of which were captured on film.
Could this of been a concerned spirit, checking on Brandon's injuries?
Around the same time frame, Mark, Shelly, and Raymond were investigating the
other side of the building, conducting EMF sweeps and EVP work. Other than a
few additional strange noises, this would be the only first hand "encounters" we
had. Next came the analysis process, which would come to be quite interesting!
As Mark and Shelly were speaking, they recorded what could possibly be one of
our best EVPs yet! After the two speak, you hear a male voice say very clearly,
"lights, camera, action". Shelly then calls out to Mark, only to be mocked by the
same voice which seems to say, "Mark" as well! It is well known that some spirits
have a sense of humor. Could this have been an example of one!? Below you will
also find some sound clips that we will let you judge for yourself as to what they
are. Additional evidence is still being analyzed so check back soon!

clip of a male voice seeming to mock us by saying "lights,
camera, action"! Great job Mark on getting this one!
