INVESTIGATION REPORT;
We arrived around 9PM and were taken on a tour of the premises by the Night Manager. Linda went to talk to the staff that had reported experiencing phenomena. Mr. B and Diane set up the extensive equipment. Camera’s were run to the upstairs office, the room behind the stairs with the fireplace, the dining area next to the long hallway leading to the hotel desk area. Camera’s were also set in the basement, to cover the area that was once used to temporarily bury bodies, during the late 1800’s, until the ground would thaw so they could be buried outside in the local cemeteries. About 10PM we started to investigate.
Linda, Diane and Catherine went up to the third floor. When Linda went to put the key in the door she experienced a very strong wave of dizziness. When she noted that Diane and Catherine said they also felt it. Upon entering the room there was heaviness in the air. No readings were taken at that time.
Catherine and Vince went down to the room behind the stairs with the fireplace. Catherine who is one of our sensitive’s says she felt someone hung themselves in that room. There is the sound of someone whispering captured on digital recording.
When investigators asked questions three consecutive taps were heard. Catherine and Vince both noted the taps. Catherine states the room is giving her a chill at that time Vince says he feels sadness and senses a man with a hand against the wall crying.
Vince mentions that it was getting colder and that they should stay longer, there is a distinct knock.
Digital recorder records an EVP that says “NO”.
Upstairs in the office both Vince and Catherine visually see orbs. They are noted on the monitor screen downstairs at the same time. Very unusual to see them with the naked eye. Vince feels it’s the presence of a man with a beard who is showing him a picture of a man with a top hat. Catherine reports seeing a fog in the dining room to the right of the staircase and we were unable to locate a source. (the fog seemed to dissipate and was later noted by Linda who was also unable to find a source)
While sitting at the first table in the hallway dining area, facing the staircase Linda felt a distinct push in the middle of her back. It was strong enough for the person sitting across from her to ask what happened?
While investigating the basement Catherine heard the loud sound of something falling about 30 feet behind her. She was not able to find anything out of place and could not account for the noise.
In the room on the second floor temperature varied from 67.5 to 75.8. This is a considerable change. A high EMF field around the interior wall near the shower was also noted. The dousing rods being used also crossed at the same spot. Indicating energy present.
Mr. B and Linda investigated the room on the third floor. Linda said she felt something present and Mr. B got a very high EMF reading in the corner by the night stand. After ruling out the clock and light fixtures we could not explain this. After reviewing the digital pictures we found that there were orbs that seemed to follow Mr. B while he was experiencing these high readings.
When we left one of the upstairs rooms Linda said she felt a presence and sat in one of the hall chairs facing the elevator. Diane took a picture and after reviewing that shot there is a large visible orb to Linda’s left.
Linda felt a presence in the long dining room next to the hall with the tables and wicker chairs. After sitting in the room for a few minutes there was a fog like mist encompassing the entire dining room. No explanation was found. After reviewing the evidence Catherine and Vince said they also saw what they described as fog, with no apparent cause earlier in the evening.
Catherine and Vince were in the room behind the stairs with the fireplace and Catherine was walking across the room with her dousing rods. The rods were crossing and when we reviewed the video from that time there appears to be a huge light flash. It’s way too bright for a flash and no one was in the room with a flash camera. Vince nor Catherine saw the flash with there eyes and didn’t note it in their report. We have no explanation.
After reviewing the evidence we feel there are definite paranormal occurrences happening on and around the property.
We would like to thank the management and staff for all their help and co-operation during the investigation.
