Gettysburg PA

2011-06-09T18:58:00.000-07:00

These photos are from our trip to Gettysburg PA. Gettysburg is reported to be one of the most haunted places in the world. While we are a paranormal group we also enjoyed the monuments and beautiful scenery. It was also great spending our time with our friends and ghost hunting in the evenings.

The view looking up to Little Round Top from Devil's Den.

This photo is looking back to Devil's Den from the low ground between Devil's Den and Little Round Top.

This photo is looking North-West from Little Round Top. Imagine thousands of men dead or dieing literally littering the ground after the battle.

This is the placard on the monument at the top of Little Round Top.

Here you can see from left to right Cheryl, Marilene, Adriane and Chuck standing on a small bridge listening to Al talk about a spirit of a young girl that died close by. She was riding in a wagon and fell out landing under the wheel cutting off her head. She is reported to try to push females from the bridge from time to time. This small creek ran red with the blood of hundreds of men during the battle for Little Round Top.

This photo shows an orb over Devil’s Den. Even before the battle of Gettysburg this area has had a reputation of being an dangerous place. The Native Americans told stories of a giant snake that lived in the rocks eating children that ventured to close.

These deep cracks in the rock at Devil's Den are where many Confederate Soldiers bodies were thrown after the battle. Relics and body parts are still being found in this area even today.

This is part of the group standing near Devils Den looking into those deep cracks. Don't let the flash fool you it was very dark. Cheryl (front left) is standing right on the edge of a 20' crack in the rocks.

This is the Pennsylvania monument erected to honor of those that fought at the battle of Gettysburg.

This is the view of the battlefield from the top of the Pennsylvania monument, looking North-West.

There were several groups there to reenact some of the battles fought at Gettysburg.

This is the New York monument raised to honor those that fought at Gettysburg.

While looking for the Indiana monument we stumbled onto a group of reenactors.This is a group named The Contra-Band. They were a group in Gettysburg reenacting some of the battles as well as a band. As you can see they have a great time and allowed us to join in.

They sang and played instruments from the period including a set of bag pipes.

Here is a video of The Contra-Band in action.

From left to right Rhonda, AL, Chuck and Becky enjoying the music and jokes.

This is The Contra-Band singing Happy Birthday to Becky Hodson.

These are photos of Sachs Bridge, the reported avenue of retreat of the Confederate army from Gettysburg. There are reports of several Confederate soldiers being hung from the bridge for running away from the battle of Gettysburg. This is not the original bridge but was built after the real bridge burnt to the ground.

One of the best parts of the trip was that Alan Hunter, was our own personal guide. He is a exceptional historian as well as author of several books. Also in this picture is Rhonda Hunter. If you close your eyes you could see the battle as Al told us many stories each evening.

Legend has it that if you put you ear to the end of a cannon you can hear the battle of Gettysburg. Just Kidding but the cannons on the battlegrounds are the original cannons from the battle.

The following photos are from the Triangle field, thousands from both sides of the battle died here. One of the stories Al Hunter told us was of soldiers that were unable to move being eaten alive by the wild hogs. While a little shocking it makes for a great ghost story! All the photos are posted as shot. Marilene Isaacs as well as all the rest of the group was exploring this area when I shot these photos.

This is a small trail down the west side of the hill near Devil's Den where Al and Rhonda had experienced some unusual energy on a earlier trip.

About half way down the side of the hill we noticed a shift in the energy. While we stood there talking, I shot these photos.

One of the things we talked about was the dimensional feel of the energy. It was almost like stepping back in history.

This is one of my favorite photos of Marilene near the Triangle field. I will let you decide what you see in the lights.

Sometimes we get lucky and capture not only spirit photos but the subjects personal energy interacting with the energy of the location. In the next three photos you can see the how the energy expands and then fades. These three are Image1100 to 1102. all taken within seconds of each other.

This is another very interesting photo of Marilene it looks like a portal or glance into the past.

Here is another photo of Marilene you be the judge.

While this is far from all the photos from the trip I will stop here. If you are a ghost hunter or are interested in the history Gettysburg is well worth the trip. As always sharing our time with such a great group of people added so much to the experience. Thanks to Al & Rhonda Hunter, Marilene Isaacs, Becky & Chuck Hodson, Cheryl, Mike and Adriane Auberry.

I will leave you with a video from the Contra-Band member playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.

3-19-2011 Investigation

2011-03-20T19:54:00.000-07:00

We were call to the private residence with reports of voices in the bedroom, shadows in the hallway, strange mist and very menacing feelings in the back yard of this 15-year-old home.

Tami with a orb over her head.

The owners are a very pleasant couple with the husband born and raised in Central America. His Mother and Grandmother both were known to be intuitive and used several different metaphysical devices including a crystal ball. It was very apparent to us that the male resident had inherited his family’s abilities and intuitions. He had made several video and audio recordings in the back yard and had purchased a Frank’s Box from the Internet in hopes of communicating and ridding the property of these menacing energies. The residents also have two very nice dogs one of which is also very sensitive to the energies in the backyard. The dogs reactions to these energies included being reluctant to go into the back yard at night as well as sitting at the back door growling when no one was there. I will post the information the owner got from the Frank’s Box as part of our report, but that information was recorded independent of our findings.

The ELF meter maxed out.

Pre-investigation
We arrived at the location on one of the nastiest nights this year. Several inches of ice had collected on everything from the roads to the roof of the house. After trading pleasantries we sat down to listen to the owners stories of the activity they had experienced over the last several months. The male resident who is very sensitive was experiencing most of the activity while the female resident seamed oblivious to nearly all what was going on. They gave us a list of activity from voices in the bedroom, shadows in the hallway, the bed shaking, strange mist and very menacing feelings in the back yard. We sat up several cameras and began our pre-investigation finding several spirits inside the house. The first contact was a twenty something female in the master bedroom. Her main response was to not to be bothered, but held great anger for the spirit later to be known as Clyde. Other spirits were an additional female of four to six years of age and a young male seven or eight. Last but far from least was a spirit we called Puffy (later to be known as Clyde) because he stood there all puffed up in a very aggressive manner. This spirit would become our greatest challenge in ending the activity in this family’s home. He repeatedly voiced for us to “Get OUT, This is my property”

Looks like the opening to the TV show The Others. Notice the four figures on the left between the owner and Jill

As the story unfolded Clyde was the owner of a sort of weigh station for wagon trains headed west. He provided the travelers with spare parts for the wagons, perishable items as well as other need items for sale or trade. There appeared to be a battle between the bandits and the wagon train on this location, where many people were killed on both sides. The bandits were dressed to resemble Indians with long dark hair and Native American clothing. We think this was to throw off any law enforcement or military that might come looking for who had robed the wagon trains passing through the area. Having listen to the story we encouraged each of the spirits to cross over and did our best to help them do so. The 20 some thing female and children gladly crossed over at their first opportunity as well as several others including some of the bandits.
Look to the right of the blue light can you see a boys face?

Clyde on the other hand was adamant that he was not going. Knowing that we could not address the energies in the back yard due to the weather we decided to return at a later date. We made several suggestions to the family of ways to try to keep Clyde out of the house and packed up our gear and moved on planning on returning later.

Spirits walking in from all directions.

The investigation
We return to the home on the full moon and the eve of the Spring Equinox. The phases of the moon and the Spring Equinox are reportedly high-energy days. While I’m not sure as to the relevance of these events I thought the worth mentioning.
After exchanging pleasantries the family explained that much of the activity inside the house had ended but the voices in the bedroom continued. We started setting up equipment in the back yard focusing on the areas of greatest activity. The energy from the full moon filled the air and a large group of spirits began assembling. First only a few spirits them more and more until it seamed the yard was full. Thinking that Clyde some how held the key to solving this haunting we continued trying to find out more about the battle between the bandits and the wagon train. What we ultimately found was that Clyde was working with the bandits in some way or another. He would get wagon parts supplies or some other form of payment from the bandits. He was killed during the battle by whom we are not sure.

I see several spirits and a dogs face between them.

He and many of the spirits were trapped in their own limbo by guilt, anger and fear. By convincing them that releasing these negative energies was the best thing to do they were able to move forward in their own personal evolution. While some of the pieces of the puzzle are still missing most of the trapped soles had their chance to move on.

Jill has them lined uo to go in to the light.

We feel very privileged to have played a small part in this investigation and clearing. Look for more pictures and video as well as more information as it becomes avalable.
Looks like Tami's guide standing behind her.

Lastly Here is a photo that we took just after calling for the light to clear the earth bound spirits.

1-29-2011 Investigation

2011-02-22T12:51:00.000-08:00

This is from a 1/29/2011 Investigation. The clients reported that the children were most affected by the activity but everyone in the home had experienced some thing. The client’s 9-month-old child had been seen playing with an invisible friend. The older 12-year-old child reported things being moved in her room and a general sense of uneasiness. What we found was a young female spirit that moves from place to place and interacts with children until they out grow her. We determined the child spirits name to be Amy. This is a video of our interaction with this child spirit. The location is near Irvington on the National Road. I have noticed that many of the hauntings we investigate are along Ley Lines. This location was no exception. With the clients permission I have included them as part of this video. We never publish your likeness or release your identity without your permission.

I'm working on the video and photos from our Visit with the Mummy and will start posting it soon.

Wayne County Museum Investigation

2011-02-15T09:20:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pics from the Solomon Dickson cabin moved to the Wayne County Museum in 1967. The mother of the Dickson family haunts this cabin. There are reports of things being moved even when the doors have been locked, people being touched and uneasy feelings in the cabin. We got the impression that she was unhappy with people invading her home but she was not a dark spirit just protecting her home. Please stop by and say “Hello” when you visit the Museum.

Raw video from Steve Hunt’s camera during the Wayne County Museum investigation located in Richmond IN. We were in the basement and encountered a spirit that we decided was C. Frances Jenkins. He was the inventor of the Phantoscope a early version of the movie projector.

Here are two photos taken while we were communicating with C. Francis Jenkins. One is a picture of Francis the other is of the EMF meter. Look closely at the second picture Can you see Francis in it also?

110 Year old Indianapolis School

2011-01-20T15:51:00.001-08:00

Several pictures from our investigation of a 110 year old Indiana school once attended by Charles Manson. In attendence was Marilene Isaacs, Al Hunter The HITT Team and Spirit Paranormal. The pictures were taken by Adriane Auberry, Mike Aluberry and Tim Poynter with Spirits Paranormal’s equipment. Also Becky Hodson was shooting video that has not been reviewed as of yet. Thank you to the entire group for their help in collecting the photos and video during the investigation.
Several of these photos are taken of Marilene Isaacs through an interior window. Notice there are several figures that appear around Marilene. One male figure just to the left of Marilene Isaacs, the other near the window frame. Here you can see the same male figure near the window frame as above.
Here you can see a female figure near the window frame. Looking directly behind her you can see a male figure over her shoulder. There are several less visible faces in this photo also.
Here are several other photos from the investigation. Here you can see a young female figure near the left side of the door. She is looking slightly down and the dark spot would be her left eye.
One of the reports at this location was of a young boy looking out the window. In this picture you can see just to the left of the door one or two children’s faces looking up at an adult size shadow. Just left of that you can see an additional adult size shadow standing against the wall,it appears to have depth where it extends past the handrail.

11-4-2010 Investigation

2010-11-07T17:02:00.000-08:00

This is from a combined investigation with Spirit Paranormal, Soup and Tim & Kerri Hogue attending. We were just starting up the equipment when we captured this video. We believe the spirit that has been haunting the home is hiding on Tim Hogue's back watch as he leans forward to check the EMF meter
I’m posting this because it is a very common statement from people that ask us to visit their homes. When they tell people about things are happening in their home no one believes them. We come in to not only document the events but clear the energies responsible. This is Kennys Face Book post: This is a group that I had come to my house to confirm im not crazy and see if they could find out if I truely do have a ghost problem. So far this is what they have seen, watch Tim's back, it happens quickly but it is just what i was hoping they would find. They were very professional and would recomend them to anyone that has a ghost problem. Ill keep posting more stuff as I get it. This video was shot between my family room and living room. This is the message I received after the investigation: Hi tim, this is Kenny. I just wanted to thank you again for everything. Its only been a few days but i can tell a difference. Its quiet and i dont get cold chills like i used to. That video you sent Kerri is crazy! I love it, and i hope you find alot more of it. I will give you high recomendations to anybody i talk to or if anyone has a problem with things like this. I thought you were very professional and knowledgeable with this type of stuff. You can put my name down on anything you do or if you need a refrence to anybody. Once again thank you so much, and my girlfriend thanks you. Keep me posted on anything else you come across and i will post it and brag to my friends and family about you. If you ever need or want to call or text me feel free.

Ghost Stories 4 after party Ghost Hunt and Lazy Days update

2010-10-29T07:53:00.000-07:00

Spirit was asked by Dan T. Hall to hosting the after party Ghost Hunt at the Irving Theater following the opening of Ghost Stories 4. We demonstrated to the guest how to use our paranormal investigative equipment. We had nearly 100 people show up and try out ghost hunting for themselves. The attached video is one of the many unexplained events that the guest reported. We had reports of playful hair and shirt tugs by one of the many spirits that frequent the Irving.

In a new twist to an old haunting report we have three separate reports from the ladies room in the Irving. Each report has the ladies in the stall hearing someone enter the restroom and the door closing. One of the reports states they even heard footsteps walk up to the stall door. In each case when the ladies exited the stall no one was in the restroom. This may be connected to the Lazy Days ghost that has been reported by many patrons.

In a new report from the Lazy Days two patrons were waiting to enter the restroom knocked on the door and got a response from inside "Just a minute" after waiting several more minutes they knocked again with no response. After opening the door no one was found inside.

Private home investigation 10/9/2010

2010-10-18T18:10:00.000-07:00

This is the story, photos, audio and a short video from a private home investigation 10/9/2010. The first contact The homeowner reported several types of activity including a small shadow spirit, lots of orbs, semi-transparent objects including a spirit that imitated objects in the home. They also experienced several sounds including that of a wheel barrel rolling around in the attic, heavy footsteps, and children talking. The first night they moved in there was a male disembodied voice clearly herd in the master bedroom. The home was only six years old so having this extensive of a haunting was puzzling to us. Not so puzzling was that three families had occupied the home in its short six-year history. The first family stayed less than a year and moved out leaving the house empty for several months. The second family stayed only eight months before allowing the house to go back to the lender. While we cannot say for sure why these families moved, it was apparent to us that the haunting may have been at least a contributing factor. The current owners moved in after the house sat empty for nearly two years. They started experiencing activity on the first night after moving in. The owner had contacted a person on the Internet to try to help clear the property. This person charged the owner $200 to clear the house remotely. The owner said the activity got worse instead of better. As with any kind of services check out the person or team that you have trying to clear your home of these types of energies, especially if they are charging upfront. While clearing a property remotely is possible there are lots of people out there only looking to scam you out of your money. We never charge for our services and do not take donations of any kind. The investigation. During the investigation we contacted several spirits including three members of a single family that had passed in a home fire in 1863. We also contacted the spirit of the male homeowner’s grandfather and the spirit of the female homeowner’s uncle. We find this to be a very common event while investigating private homes. It seems that a lot of us have spirits that have a vested interest in our well being such as ancestors acting as guides. We also experienced several other lower energies that required clearing. We also collected the video, audio and pictures below Marilene Isaacs As part of our investigation we requested that Marilene Isaacs come by to give a cold reading of the house and property. She was not told of any of the events before the walkthrough. Marilene entered the house and went directly to the center of the activity. She told the owner that there was an energy vortex centered in the master bedroom that was amplifying the events they were experiencing. She also confirmed much of the information we had received during our investigation. She also warned the homeowner of an area of the building that may need maintenance to prevent water from getting in and causing mold. We checked this area and found some damaged siding. The clearing. We concluded the investigation by crossing over the spirits we had interviewed and performing a house clearing. As part of the clearing we placed a barrier around the property to help prevent other spirits from being drawn to the energy vortex. Researching the information from the investigation and Marilene’s reading. We researched the area using information we received during the investigation. We found that the home sits on the same location as a large homestead deeded to the original owners as payment for serving in the revolutionary war. The property then passed down two generations to John and Betty. They had two sons John and James and one daughter Amy. The property set along Indiana's first "super highway" the Michigan Road, which was built in the 1830s and 1840s and ran from Madison, Indiana to Michigan City, Indiana via Indianapolis. We believe the property was used as a way station during much of this time. John and his family provided travelers with food and supplies for their trip west. During the investigation we received information that in 1863 John, Betty and Amy died in a house fire. We found John’s grave and death records dated in 1863 and he is buried in a local cemetery. After the fire the two sons continued to farm the land for several years. They sold the property and moved west some time later. We searched the cemetery and records but could not find the location of Betty or Amy gravesites. There are grave markers next to John but we could not read the information on the headstones due to wear and the records of who is buried there has been lost. After the investigation and house clearing the new owners have reported no activity. We have provided the owners with the skills to clear their own home. We did this after finding that the property also sits along a lay line and has an energy vortex in the master bedroom. We suspect that this may be the reason for the intensity and number of spirits haunting this otherwise average home. Both the father and daughter are very intuitive and may also be attracting spirits. We will continue to work with the owners to keep the home clear as needed.

Attempted possession audio

2010-09-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

With special permission from the client, I’m posting this short audio track. This is from a resent investigation pre-interview. The client is describing the feeling of what he described as an attempted possession. He also stated that this happened several times and only ended after this event. This was also witnessed by his wife as you will hear in the recording. While I have listened to reports of all sorts of attacks and sightings, this is the first of an earth bound spirit attempting a possession. After the investigation and clearing there has been no reported activity in the home. Thanks to Cheryl and Tamara from the SPIRIT Academy for coming along on the investigation.

Indianapolis House clearing

2010-09-21T05:58:00.000-07:00

Here are some photos and EVPs from a resent house clearing. Those that attended were Marilene Isaacs, Al Hunter and the HIT Team and Spirit. The EVPs are “JIM” “I don’t know” “Man” and “Yesss” The client reported apparitions in the bedroom, unknown movement in the spare bedroom, lights going on and off. The damaging of the pictures hanging in the stairway prompted the call for help. We checked the nails and all of them are securely in the wall. It looked as though someone had walked down the stairs and knocked the pictures violently to the ground. Marilene reported several male spirits from a very complicated relationship. As in life the more controlling spirit was acting out over resent events. Marilene put the HIT on these SPIRITs and the client has reported no further activity.

150 Year old home and carriage house

2010-07-27T18:13:00.000-07:00

Reports of voices, someone walking around the old servants quarters, sounds of footsteps on the stairs that match the number of stairs, and a vapor seen by several people at a Christmas party. One of the new owners also reported that while resting on a bed in the back room, he felt someone’s breath on his lips. Thinking it was his wife trying to kiss him, he opened his eyes to find no one in the room.
We found many spirits in the house. Some of these sprits were family members of one of the current owners. Others were Elizabeth the daughter of the first owner and Sam, Elizabeth’s fiancé, who hung himself from the widows’ peak after her death. We also found an 18-year-old kitchen servant who fell or was pushed down the servants’ stairs.You can see Elizabeths gravestone below.
