Village Salon Investigation

HISTORY

Part of a small strip of historic buildings, located in the heart of the small town of
Grand Cane, the Village Salon began its tenure as a general store. Built in the late
1800's, the building later housed a barber shop and a make-shift court house,
where minor fines were paid.

ACTIVITY

According to employees of the salon, activity seems to occur quite regularly.
Based on their claims, the activity seems to take on poltergeist characteristics,
having items move and electronic devices turn on and off. Amy, the owner,
reports seeing the lid on the clothes hampers flip back and forth and has heard
the radio turn on and off. Amy says she has never felt threatened by the activity
and has even comically named the presence she feels "Brenda".

INVESTIGATION

We arrived at the salon and quickly meet with Amy, who was very kind and
hospitable. We quickly did a walk through and set up our cameras. I guess now
that we have done this so long, we are in a groove, because we have setting up
down to an art, getting done in under 20 minutes. We did our initial walk throughs,
getting temperature and EMF base readings. From one power outlet, I found the
highest levels of EMFs I have ever seen from interior wiring, spiking well past an
unbelievable 300MG, which cannot be healthy. Other than that, a pretty constant
reading of 1.0MG was detected, which is still higher than most areas. After
chasing away a couple unwanted "spectators", we went "lights out".

We began conducting our standard routine by doing some EVP work and getting a
"feel" for the place. Myself, Shelly, Vikki, and Amy were all sitting down
completely still, when we heard something that sounded just like a marble or a
small plastic object bounce on the ground. The noise came from between Vikki
and I, which was nothing but empty floor. We turned on all the lights and could not
find anything on the floor that could have made that noise. Could it have been
"Brenda" making her presence known!? No other first hand experiences were
had the rest of the night. Now came the task of analyzing the evidence (HOORAY!)

Several interesting sound clips were found. One being the time when we heard
the object bounce on the ground and the other, possibly one of the clearer EVPs
we have heard. While Regina and Amy were talking, we picked up an extremely
clear female voice saying, "I'm not crazy." Only Regina, Amy, and Korrin were in
the building. Korrin was not speaking and the voice does not match with Regina's
or Amy's. The whisper sounds much closer than the two, plus they were speaking
at a normal volume level. I am still posting the clip for you to hear but am hesitant
to label it as a true "EVP", just because there is some possibility it could have
been Amy, but I seriously doubt it. Again, if this is a legitimate one, this is on of our
best EVPs captured. The last one is when Todd and I were speaking and you hear
a fairly clear male voice saying what sounds like, "You'll pay!" You be the judge!
Finally, Ive added a very interesting video clip of a possible light anomaly. It is
definitely not dust and just doesn't seem like the movement of an insect. It almost
looks like a laser pointer, but no one was using anything like that. The flight
pattern is very unique.

In closing, is the Village Salon "haunted"? You be the judge. Scientifically, we do
not have the concrete evidence to label it "haunted", yet we all know we heard
something fall from somewhere that we cannot explain. As I've said before,
unfortunately we cannot base our conclusions on personal experiences, yet they
still make for great stories! Again, we would like to thank Amy for having us and
we would love to make a return visit.
