Private business 4/21/2017 KASPIR

Friday April 21st the KASPIR team  did their first investigation of a private business in Wichita, KS.  

  The investigation started around 10 PM.  Sam, Richard, and Shannon (KASPIR team members) got a tour of the building but was not told and history or experiences that have happened on the property. They did this to not be influenced.
  Richard decided to set up his equipment in an area by himself. Shannon and another ELP team member set up where a lot of activity was reported a little further from Richard.  Sam accompanied Leo, Jeremiah and myself to the back of the building to observe and take notes.
  As my group started an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) session, Jeremiah picked up an oblong shadow on the wall behind Leo and myself.  18 seconds into recording on the digital voice recorder there was a 'clank' sound heard. At 45 (11:22PM) seconds into recording a whisper was heard by Leo and a member of another group yards away from where we stood. "By now you have probably seen most of us here. We do have a new few guests roaming the building so.... be courteous, come out and say hi. Come out and talk to us. Show yourself at any time." It was faint but Leo says it sounded like a confirmation. We continued with asking for who ever made this whisper to speak louder or make another noise. At this moment we heard a tap beside us. Leo reports hearing another whisper. Followed by breathy sounds.
  "If you're truly here with us tonight can you make a knocking sound to let us know how many people are here with us." Leo continued with the session (3:30 on recorder 11:26 PM) "mhm"  was heard by Sam and Leo.  Leo instructed whatever was with us to use energy from the storms, his energy or batteries we had with us.
 "Got something weird with the camera that's never happened before.." (6:33 on recorder 11:29 PM) "Had 8 or 9 minutes left on the reel and it flashed up with a message saying recording interrupted please wait. I've never seen that before" Jeremiah was explaining as he sees something pass behind Leo and I . He describes it as a big shadow what  a human head would cast behind us on the wall. (8:12 on recorder 11:31 PM) a squeak was captured. We searched for what could have made the noise and couldn't find it. There were some possibilities of what it could have been.
  Later in the night in the same area, Sam saw another shadow against a door. He reported it to look like the same one Jeremiah saw.  Around this same time, I headed off to another area of the building where there were some strange activities involving tarps moving 6 feet towards someone, tapping, and a noticeable gust of wind to someone's face. There is no air flow in this area. When I set up my equipment ( EVP, EMF detector, and camcorder) nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The tarps were hung to block off certain parts of the large storage room I was in. Nothing was moving.  I asked if something was with me to make the lights on the EMF go up. Nothing happened. I made sure to stand very still as to not touch the tarps or make any other sound the equipment might pick up. at 15 seconds on the recorder I start to hear some of the tarps scraping against the cement floor.  (1:45 on recorder) A tap was heard. The scraping sounds started to get more frequent and louder. (3:41 on recorder) I felt a cold chill and heard a whisper.  After that I saw something move from the left side of the tarp in the middle to the right side as if something was run along the back of it. At this time the tarp to my right moved a good 3 feet towards me and stayed there, not moving. I heard foot steps coming from the left of me and getting closer. I just had a weird feeling that I wasn't welcomed in that area any more. I picked up my equipment and headed out to the main lobby.  I brought Richard, Sam and Shannon back to that area to investigate. Nothing strange appeared to happen with them. The tarps did move slightly around us. Sam's theory was our body heat effecting them. This is possible. It did not, however move as much it did when I was alone.
  Shannon and Erin were set up in another part of the building. They have some reports of personal experiences. This will be updated more on later. Erin reported hearing something continuously moving around in a certain area. Every time she went to investigate where this sound was coming from, it would stop. She searched under tarps and pallets and couldn't find the origin of this sound.
  The KASPIR team members and I did report a lot of dust and car noises around the building during the time of our investigation. Some footage and recordings are still being reviewed at this time. There doesn't seem to be too much actually caught on recordings. Anything that is found will be uploaded and updated. Another experience caught by them was a whistle that was heard.
 After the KASPIR team had concluded their end of the investigation, I stuck around with ELP to poke around some more. At this time Leo, Jeremiah, Erin and another member of their team, and myself all gathered in the large area of the building and set up a laser grid. The level of activity we experienced from that point was astonishing. We started rolling right around 2 AM. With in the first minute on my camera Erin mentions she hears a low voice multiple times. Shadows are reported moving about 30 feet in front of us by both Jeremiah and my self.   2:30 on camera " I just heard a really long sigh..." I said " Did you guys hear that?" Came from Leo.  What he explained hearing was a big bang near him and got heat from it. After feeling this he reports seeing a big black shadow coming from the area as well. This relates back to an experience that has happened to Jeremiah in the past at this location. A second sigh happens near Leo once again. Jeremiah starts hearing dragging footsteps in the area as well. This all seemed to happen with in the same couple of minutes back to back. 4:16 into the camera footage a loud growl is heard. No one remembers clearing their throat and we can hear myself and another member discussing a flashlight. It sounded to me like it was disagreeing. The more laser lights we put up the more things started to feel heavy. at 5:11 on the camera you hear something seemed to be thrown and bounced in our area. On another camera at 26 seconds in you hear a loud female voice. Leo tries to provoke it but saying "What did you say again? We misunderstood you." Another voice is heard by all of us after this. Then another female voice is heard seeming to be having a conversation with someone. 2:38 on camera Jeremiah  is discussing with another team member about hearing a voice and Leo thought he heard my voice.

Lizzie Borden Took An Ax
By Ashley E Chancy


“Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her Mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done, She gave her Father forty-one.”

What began as a simple rhyme to skip rope to in the early 1890's has now long since left its mark on the little town of Fall River, Massachusetts. A once calm and quiet town was struck with terror on the morning of Thursday, August 4, 1982. It is said that Lizbeth Borden, Also known as Lizzie had brutally murdered both of her parents in their very own home on 92 Second Street. Downstairs in the lounge, Andrew Borden casually napped on the couch until he was discovered first with 12 quick blows to the face that not only tore apart his skull, But had left half of his eye dangling against his cheek. Abby Borden, Lizzie's Step-Mother was found second in the upstairs guest bedroom. Lying face down in a pool of blood, It was later determined that she met her untimely death with 19 forceful and violent blows to the back of the head and shoulder blades. She was murdered first sometime between 9 and 9:30 am. With such an odd tone, Lizzie called to their maid, Bridget Sullivan; “Come down quick. Father's Dead! Someone came in and killed him!” It all began with that simple and clear statement from Lizzie Borden that spun theories left and right as to what had actually occurred that morning.

Over the years after first being introduced to this case, I have heard theories ranging from Lizzie committing the murders to her big sister and even to their Uncle, John whom had actually stayed at the Borden residence the prior evening to the crimes. Almost all of them though circled around Lizzie playing the biggest part in them all. She did it. In the 1800's though, For a woman to commit something so atrocious was simply unthinkable. A woman could never partake in such a horrifying act of violence. Women were nurturing, Caring individuals with hearts of gold. They were not cold-blooded murderers. One of my favorite motives though is due to the fact that Andrew had removed Lizzie from his will shortly after learning that Lizzie had been having affairs with women rather than your traditionally man and woman relationship. It seemed to make sense to me. To no surprise though, Lizzie was arrested on August 9th and spent ten months in jail until her crimes were acquitted on June 21st, 1893. Imagine if this crime were to happen today? With all of today's laws, forensics, and media.. Do you think Lizzie would have walked as a free woman?

The narrow house on 92 Second Street or now known as 230 Second Street has remained as active today as it was the day of the murders. After my introduction to this house of horror late one evening on the Travel Channel, I became absolutely submerged in the stories within its walls. However, The following summer My Mom and I took our usual summer trip up North to Jersey where my Mom was originally from. We always had so much fun hanging by the shore and hitting up Six Flags and We had always taken one big trip within our trip to a variety of different places. I mean, We've been to New York City, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania. That year though, My Mom and cousin, Anita planned something a little different for me. You see, For the past year I had been infatuated with The Borden Bed and Breakfast. Yeah.. This house where those murders had taken place, They literally turned into a Bed and Breakfast. You could stop by for tours and even spend the night in one of the rooms. I thought it was the greatest thing in the World but my Mom was never really into that type of stuff, Or so I thought when I was a kid.

So one morning, My Mom, Anita and my cousin, Ryan who is the same age as I am, Woke up early and piled into the car on a journey to this house in Fall River. The ride was long, but man, Was it worth it. We began the tour by entering the front of the house and one of my favorite facts about the house is that all of the door knobs were actually the original ones. I don't know.. Something about touching the same items that Lizzie had just sent my mind into such excitement. I had found different things to take an interest in, but nothing that quite captured me like Lizzie Borden. This experience though was quite different then anything that I had ever known before. I have always believed in the paranormal and that there is something much greater than us here. My tour at the Borden house though was just, It was the beginning of it all for me. My family and I stepped into the main entrance of the Bed and Breakfast and the atmosphere felt calm. Steady. Nothing quite out of the norm, but shortly into our tour though as we made our way into the dining room, I came to feel pressure against both of my shoulder blades. It wasn't too hard, Not to the point where I needed to sit down or leave, but just enough to know the difference that something was near me. It was almost as if someone was holding onto my shoulders. That was my first encounter. We continued on through the bed and breakfast, Discovering the sitting room where Lizzie's Father, Andrew had been murdered. The host that we had was so knowledgeable and fun, Even laying down on the couch in the same position that Andrew's body had been found it.

The tour then proceeded upstairs where we were introduced to the John V. Morse room. It was typically the room that their Uncle would stay the night in when he would come to town to visit with his brother and his family. It was also the room in which Mrs. Borden was struck down in, And of course, It seemed like the perfect photo opportunity between Ryan and I. Guess you could say that we were “creepy kids” and come to think about it, We definitely still are.

Now, As any tourist would have it, My camera was going off left and right, Capturing anything and everything I possibly could. These were all memories that I never wanted to forget. Aside from another incredible family vacation, This was one of the coolest experiences that I had ever had at that point in my life and even to this day. Looking back, Especially now that my Mom has passed away, These pictures were just.. Still framed stories waiting to be wrote about. After finishing the tour, We left the house and instantly, The pressure against my shoulder blades seemed to seize almost as quickly as it had began. I brushed it off as we left the premises and went on to visit a few other places in Fall River including the Fall River Historical Society. The FRHS is now home to the actual murder weapon, A lock of Abby Borden's hair that was matted with her own blood as well as many other items pertaining to the home, the family, and the trial itself. Now, Going into this house I wasn't really expecting anything other than a great time with my Family. It wasn't until I had the pictures developed that I discovered a photo that would forever change my life, Really.

A small orb towards the left side of a couch almost where a person would sit. Could it have been dirt on my camera lenses? Maybe. But then why didn't the same piece of dirt appear on all of my other photos? “Ashley, It was probably just dust” and you're right, It may have been, but with it being a bed and breakfast, Wouldn't the entire house be kept clean and spotless? There are multiple reasons as to what it could be that appeared in my photo that day so I leave that explanation up to you, The readers. For me though, I wasn't alone that day. For me, It was the beginning of a World that I had no idea truly existed. Not for regular, ordinary people like me anyway. This photo was the gateway into a world that people shy from, That people dismiss.

This photo is why I am part of the Phantoms Keep.

Florida Trip

Max- It was a long trip to Florida! But I was glad that I got some much needed time with my Phantoms Keep crew! This was the first time all 3 of us got to work together on two investigations.
 The first stop of the night was Eau Gallie cemetery. a follower of our group suggested it to us. There were claims of hearing people having full conversations, orbs, people being touched.. We had to check it out before going on to our main attraction for the evening.
 There was a weird feeling in the air that I can recall from first stepping up to the gates of the cemetery. It seemed like a pretty good night for an investigation. The weather wasn't too hot or cold and there didn't seem to be a lot of traffic. We each had our different tasks that night. I, myself, was doing voice EVP and video recording to start with. We weren't there but maybe 5 minutes when we started hearing foot steps around us. Sadly, nothing was caught on film so I put it in my head it was the wind and some leaves.
  At one point we did keep running into this cat that did seem very curious what we ere doing but only really stayed within a group of plots. As we traveled away from the cat we didn't seem to catch anything other than our cameras all going out of focus at the same time.
 The biggest piece of evidence we did collect was when Ash had her KII meter going. We couldn't find any source to make it jump up 5 lights and it would only happen around a certain set of graves. My EMF didn't pick up anything in the same spot and only seemed to affect Ash's.
  The second part of the evening was spent at Georgiana Cemetery also know as Crooked Mile. This location was in a very populated area, which caught me off guard. The minute we parked the cars and got out there was a strangeness in the air. This location has been known of having many different activities. There is said there is a little girl who is seen there most of the time with some other spirits. People have been touched and had small objects thrown at them. There is al reports of just feeling like you are being watched all the time. Because of being in a neighborhood we limited use of lights as to not disturb any of the surrounding houses.
 We stood  in the middle of the graveyard and could hear the wind blowing but didn't even feel so much as a breeze. From behind us we could all hear someone walking up but every time we turned around there was nothing.  At one point we had what I would consider intelligent responses on the KII meter.
 Ashley introduced us all and made it clear we were here to communicate and not harm anyone. I asked for certain responses from whoever was there with us. I noticed the lights on the KII started to dance a little bit for us. I asked if this was a spirit trying to communicate if they could make the lights go back down to 0. As I asked this all 5 lights lit up then returned back to 0. Shortly after they returned to 3 lights being lit. I also tired it in reverse to make them go from one light to all 5. It complied.  As we were doing this we started to smell wood burning. I asked if the presence if it would like us to leave to make all 5 lights light up. They stayed at 3 lights. I asked if they would like us to stay to drop to one light. It jumped up to 5 lights. These lights kept going up and down as we asked. I asked if this was the little girl trying to contact us and all 5 lights lit up and stayed lit for a good amount of time.
 One of the last things we experienced was Ash and I were standing still and heard a noise that almost sounded like something stepping right up behind us. At that time I felt a breeze on my neck that caused me to turn around and notice Ash had turned at the exact same time. We took a name from a near by stone and asked if it was the kid trying to communicate. When we didn't get a response, we asked if it was someone else and got all 5 lights once again. The temp changed quickly and we wrapped up hearing some more noises.

Another one from a reader "Amanda"

  So my most recent experiences goes like this. I was working at the port, it happened to be mother's day. I was waiting for a friend of mine to get off work so that I could catch a ride home. That night she was working with another friend of ours out in Jetty Park. The park was trashed and it was well after midnight and I was ready to go so of course I stayed over to pitch in and get the work done. After our last haul to the dumpster, my friends and I were standing around talking. Our male friend (we'll call him Chance) was telling my friend (lets call her Janet) about a siren and a warlock that had been giving him some trouble recently. (Keep in mind we are all gifted in some way or another so this is actually not unusual talk for us) He was saying how the warlock had sent the shadows to torment him. I didn't think much of it other than to finally end the night and go home and say some prayers for his safety and serenity. The next day i noticed that my ankle was itching like crazy. I pretty much wrote it off as some bug bites as we were out late but thought it slightly odd as I had been wearing pants. I also started to notice from that day forward that I would catch shadows from the corner of my eye skirting around. I finally gave in and decided to investigate my itchy ankle and noticed that it was not bug bites but a perfect imprint of a little mouth. I immediately called Chance and demanded he tell me more about who bit me that night. He told me the siren was not happy that I was poking around in their business and the little one was upset by this and bit me as warning. I spent the next several weeks trying to convince the siren and the shadows that moved in to leave me and mine alone as we were not involved. That little one tormented me for months, following me everywhere, hiding around corners and just in general creeping me TF out.

Submission from a reader.

We have been getting emails from some of our readers who want to share their experiences.  Lets call this one..... Amanda.




So when I was a teenager, maybe 15ish if I remember correctly, I had a really close friend that had this huge crush on a guy. I never knew the guy, had not so much as even seen him. All that I knew about the guy was his name (cause my friend talked about him constantly). That summer I spent the summer away in FL with my dad and when I returned home I found that my friend's crush had passed in an accident. She was heartbroken. Fast forward a little later that same year, said friend and I and another friend have a little sleepover. While the one friend passed out my good friend and I laid on the floor just talking about random whatever's. All a sudden she turns away from me and freezes. A minute or so pass and she collects herself and turns back to face me. I asked if she was ok, she said that she was, but she was really pale like she just had the shit scared our of her. We go on with our random conversations and she freezes again, goes pale and gets up and goes to the bathroom. I give her a few mins, a little weirded out myself and when I go in to check on her I find her sitting on the edge of the big Jacuzzi tub. I go and sit next to her and almost beg for her to tell me what is going on. She goes on to ask me if I remember the guy that she had a crush on. Of course I remembered the endless conversations we had about him so I told her yes. After some more prodding she tells me that as we were talking, she did not see me, she saw his face. At this point I honestly thought she might have been on some kind of drug. She said this was what happened the second time as well. At that point I thought it might just be best to leave well enough alone and call it a night. We were obviously exhausted and her slightly delirious. The next day her and I went back to my house. I was talking to my mom about the incident from the night before and she told me that he wanted to talk to her and that I should let him. At this point, I think my mother is crazy too. But I decide what the heck, can't hurt. So I tell my friend that we are going to talk, and that I am going to let him talk to her and to feel free to ask him questions in hopes of her getting some of the closure that she needed. We sat down at the kitchen table and just started to talk. Now remember at the beginning of the story, I never met this guy and seriously knew nothing about him more than his name and all that I knew in regards to the accident that killed him was that he was on an atv. She starts to ask me questions that really could have been general knowledge for anyone that had hung out with him for any amount of time. Things like him wearing a hat the day he died (apparently he ALWAYS wore a hat) and just missing each other. She asked a specific question though and this is where it got really weird to me. I could feel that I was present but I knew it was no longer my words or actions at the table. She asked what happened to his hat and I (he) laughed. She asked what was so funny. I (he) tells her that he knows where it is and that it is ok that they have it. A friend went to the site after everything was over and had found it and was keeping it in their dresser. He tells her that it is ok, he wanted that guy to have it and he needed it more than she did but would not tell her who it. The conversation pretty much stopped after that. A few weeks later my friend comes to me and tells me that she found out where his hat was. She told me she found the friend that had gone to the site after the accident and said that it went down like I had told her that day. A friend was really upset and showed up there looking for anything. He found the guy's hat off to the side almost hidden in some brush and he picked it up and kept it as a reminder of his friend. Guess where the guy had been keeping the hat? The 3rd drawer of his dresser.

The Batcave

  Before my fiancé and I moved, we had a very interesting house. It was a quadplex townhome. The space was incredible and was a steal on the price for rent compared to others around it. From the very first time walking in their, the air was so thick. I chopped it up to the house has been sitting in the Florida heat for awhile now with no A/C.
  As you walked in the front door you were facing right up the stairs. To the left of the stairs was a little closet that wrapped under the stairs. We called it the batcave. Then there was the 1/2 bath in the dining room and kitchen to the left of the batcave. Up stairs were the two bedrooms and full bath. The living room was to the right of the stairs and the far wall was nothing but a huge mirror.
 About a couple weeks of living there thing started to happen. I actually got mad because my fiancé would keep shutting the cat in our room when we went to work and leaving the bedroom that was under constructions door open. When I confront her about it she said she had done the opposite. It kept happening.
  We would be sitting in the living room and feel something stare at us from the middle landing on the stairs but when we would look nothing would be there. That went on for month. Our friends who lived on the opposite side of the wall claimed the same thing about their stairs. We didn't think anything of it.
  This one time our A/C fried and stopped working. It was miserable in Florida summer.  Almost unbearable to be in let alone sleep. We set up air mattresses in the living room and put every fan we could in there with us and set up a portable A/C in the kitchen just to try to sleep.
It was about 3 AM and my fiancé got woken by something she couldn't explain. She said she felt light someone was shinning a green laser over her closed eyes. When she opened her eyes the room was pitch dark. In the mirror she say something move out from the batcave and walk into the kitchen. She sat straight up and turned but there was nothing there. She laid back down and pulled the sheet over her head to go back to sleep. This dark figure had to be about 6 feet tall and completely black, she said the next day.
  A couple days went by and everything seemed normal. My brother and his girlfriend were living with us and he had come home to grab something out of his room. Before that I was there by myself just cleaning the kitchen. I saw him come down stairs in a white T-shit, some trunks and a baseball hat and walk into the living room from the corner of my eye. I tried starting a conversation with him and got pretty irritated when he wasn't answering me. I walked to the living room and found no one there. As I stood there very confused for a second, he came down the stairs behind me and asked who the guy in the hat was that he saw. I looked at my brothers clothes. He was wearing a black tanktop and his work pants, no hat at all. I told him that I just saw the same guy.
 Things went back to 'normal' after that. Doors opening and closing them selves and so on. I told my brothers girlfriend about what we both saw and she laughed it off basically saying she had to get in the shower for work. I was coming up the stairs when I heard her yell. She opened her door and the look on her face was complete shock. She told me how she walked into her bedroom to get dressed after her shower and her phone had come off the bed and flew to the other side of the room.
  There wasn't too much that happened after that because we moved about a month or so later.

Private Business- 3/09/17

 Thursday, I had the chance to join another local team on an investigation. Everyday-Legacy Paranormal is a very know investigation team here in Wichita. Their vas knowledge and experiences are something to be admired. I felt privileged when they invited me out.
  I met with the team in the private business' parking lot around 7:30 PM. They started by telling me that this building has been investigated many times by their teams and almost never disappoints. The things they have experienced and even caught on tape is nothing short of amazing. There has been disembodied voices, shadows, tapping, knocks, and apparitions.
 The first story that was told to me was when they hate two mediums join them for the night. Each of them went in separately and both of their stories matched up 100% without speaking to each other. The team has even lead tours of the building before and turned skeptics into believers.

  Our investigation lasted roughly 2 1/2 hours. We used cameras, voice recorders and EMF readers. There were a lot of footage and taps to go over and they are still being processed. You will be able to see and hear the evidence on our Facebook page and YouTube page as well.
  I can say there were a lot of knocks and taps there not picked up on any recordings. There voices heard that I hope we caught as well as shadows and other happenings.

An Evening With Annabelle.

An Evening with Annabelle
By Ashley E Chancy

Movie Cinema has spent years instilling fear into audiences. Audiences that originally found no harm in small, comforting toys, But it wasn't until the debut of a special Raggedy Ann doll that sent the Horror Culture into a frenzy. Releasing in 2013, The Conjuring opened its film to introduce us to a doll by the name of Annabelle who took quite the liking to two young nurses. It caught us and encouraged our curiosity to seek out the tale of this demonic doll. Now, We've all seen our fair share of horrifying dolls from the Zuni Doll in 1975's Trilogy of Terror to 1988's Child's Play where we were left terrified of a Good Guy Doll, All the way to Billy from Dead Silence releasing in 2007. As frightening as those were, Annabelle left us craving more and more. Where did she originate from, How did she end up with those women? How were the two paranormal investigators going to contain this troubled spirit? We needed more and thankfully, James Wan along with writer, Gary Dauberman and film director, John R. Leonetti were able to deliver. The following year releasing in the fall of 2014, Annabelle hit theaters to give us the dosage of answers that we all sought out. It fell rather short compared to our first experience with The Warren's in The Conjuring, but that didn't mean that our answers weren't fulfilled. For those of you first learning of the experiences, Ed and Lorraine Warren were and are two of the most important and inspiring people in the Paranormal Realm. A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to tune in to a live feed straight from The Warren Museum located in Monroe Connecticut. As of today though, They have closed the museum do to zoning regulations and are in the process of relocating. The live feed featured a very short movement of the Annabelle doll from one safe location within a small box to another. The feed included an introduction to Dan Rivera who is a curator for the museum now along with a gentlemen named Tony whom I can only imagine also works at the museum as well. We were advised that Dan would be handling the doll itself given that not only had he been blessed by a Catholic Priest, but his hands were also drenched in holy water and covered by gloves. They made it quite clear that skin contact to the ore of the doll would allow for demonic spirits to be transferred. Along with eerie music lingering within the background, Tony began the transfer with a reading of the St. Michael the Archangel Prayer.

“St. Michael Archangel, Defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, We humbly pray, And do though, O Prince of heavenly hosts, By the power of God, Thrust into hell Satan, And all the evil spirits, Who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”

It was only then that Dan would proceed forward to carefully lift Annabelle from her case and gently place her swiftly into the new case that he had built specifically for her. They added that she would remain there “until hopefully forever.” Tony continued and concluded the ceremony with a binding ritual once Annabelle had been placed into the new case and the door had been closed. The child inside of me had kept my eyes glued to the doll in hopes that something would happen.. I was left with slight disappointment as nothing had happened. Spirits though are.. Full of wonder and unanswered questions. As much as I had hoped that I could witness the unbelievable, I knew that the chances weren't very high. From personal experiences, I have come to believe that the spirits will make their presence known to those blind to the abilities that they possess. It's to those beings that the spirits are more likely to take control over. The innocent. The closed minded. Or to those who have completely opened their minds to the unknown. This live stream had more than two-hundred thousands views and within the room of four people who were more than prepared for such an event to take place. It was an unlikely time for the spirit to strike. Still... My mind was left to imagine the undeniable question, "What if?" What if the doll had moved? What if the camera's lenses had shattered? What if the case once closed simply, Fell over? We were left full of such suspense. I guess that's all part of the experience of the unknown though. The feeling of being left to wonder and think, "What next?" The World is full of things that no one can explain and for that reason, Most people tend to turn in the opposite direction of things that they simply don't understand, That they fear. I guess that's where my Team and I come into play. We run towards it with excitement.

Below, I have provided links to not only Dan Rivera's Facebook page which still contains the live stream from February 22nd, but also to the Warren's website. There it is filled with a variety of different articles to read over, including a tribute to Ed Warren himself as well a link to the actual “Evening with Annabelle” event that Dan and Tony will be hosting on March 11th of this year.

Until next time, Kiddies.. Always Believe.

The El Dorado Cemetery

Well, we got out last night and took a ride. Near down town El dorado stands the town cemetery, Belle Vista. It is said to be haunted by the ghost by the name of Two Moons whose bones were discovered during the construction of the mausoleum. This cemetery was established in 1887.

The huge 150 ft x 150 ft structure started construction in mid 1921.

We decided to take a drive through this cemetery and record, take pictures and look for any sign of Two Moons or anyone else that may be lingering. When arriving at our destination nothing felt out of the ordinary. Our first trip around the grounds didn't turn anything up on the recordings.

 These are some of the pictures from our second trip around taking pictures. When we drove by the big mausoleum, Marshall stated that he got a weird feelings and started taking more pictures. In a couple of his photos (which he will post his later) the facial recognition started to act funny. He was pointing out in the open area next to the structure and his camera was picking up 7-9 green squares for the facial finders or focus points. We took the picture and nothing showed. He went to take another picture of the same spot and they seemed to move closer but there were less now (about 4-5). To see if we could re create it again he snapped another picture. This time there were only 3 in almost a perfect triangle and seemed to be closer still. The 4th picture showed no focus points.

 We continued to take pictures of the area. We decided to head out and review the photos. Upon reviewing we found a couple unexplainable occurrences.

Appears to be a full body missing its head or possibly hanging.

The face.

In other pictures of them same areas that are shown above there is nothing in the frame at all. (Again Marshall will post those later.)

Marshall's Intro

I was positively thrilled when Max came to me with the proposition of starting our own paranormal investigative team/blog. I've always found myself to be extremely sensitive and susceptible to different energies, and have had many of my own experiences with what have appeared to be post-mortem entities. (Stories to come.) Though I've lived in Brevard County, Florida for most of my life, I have done my fair share of traveling, and look forward to the upcoming trips and endeavors to be taken with my best friend as we embark on this new and exciting journey of paranormal discovery. I am also, very much, looking forward to meeting and learning from other fellow "sheet-talkers" along the way.

Griffith Cemetery

  Last night we decided to take a ride out to Griffith Cemetery. It's in the middle of no where down a dark dirt road. It has around maybe 30 graves, most of which date back to the late 1800s through 1900s. In the middle stands two very interesting structures. There is a 4 grave mausoleum and right behind that is a group of 12 trees circling one big tree.
  The only thing we had to go on was local legend since there was no info that we could find on the internet. The story that a local told to us was back when he was a kid, there were rumors of groups of people that would come out there late at night to perform séances and such. He said his dad spoke of this place with disgust saying "there is just some dark energy in that place". We did take a couple videos and didn't catch anything but the wind blowing.
  There was one strange happening. We were standing in the circle and we started to hear like a loud honking. It seemed to be coming from the tree tops. Cameras and audio did not catch this at all.

Experiences

 We would love to hear our followers experiences with the paranormal. Please comment and share!!

Googling...

 For many years now I have gone to a number of sites trying to research and find haunted areas around me and learn their history. I always find it helpful when going to a place I haven't really visited before. One of the most helpful sites I have found is The Shadowlands. This is usually my go to when wanting to find new haunts as well. Just a couple days ago, the founder (Rev Dave Juliano) reached out to me and gave me permission to use this website, as well as others on our blog.
 So, we have added a other people and reference links to the page for or readers to view as well. For more information on Dave and a look into what he does please check out his websites and books.

New house, new spirits

  I want to keep a running tab on the things we have experience since moving into this house.  I wish I could remember the exact dates of each of the happenings but I will do my best...

  We moved in November 15th. Nothing out of the ordinary was noticed.
The first week we started to notice doors and drawers were opening and closing by themselves.
Week two, while working upstairs in my office, I heard the front door open and a woman's voice say "Hello?". I went down stairs to check it out and the front and side doors were closed and locked.
Week four. We have been hearing foot steps going up and down the stairs. My office door is closed in the mornings. We heard a loud crack at night. Again we searched the house and found nothing. That net morning we found a tiny shelf with a mirror in it had cracked right down the middle. It was sitting n the floor in the corner with nothing around it to break it. It was 12:34 in the morning and we were in bed. We heard a loud thumb right above our heads like something was dropped in my office. We found nothing out of place. Lights have been flickering but not light to dim, more like light to brighter.
Week 5. We were getting ready for bed and heard something thrown at either the door or the bathroom wall that shares a wall with our bedroom. Again, nothing was out of place. The next day I came down from my office to find the front door wide open.
*this is all current as ok 1/10/2017*
*Update*
 We heard something slam again. After looking through the house again nothing was discovered. We realized the cabinet over the sink is now split right down the middle of the wood on the door. It's me belief that the only way to accomplish this would be so slam that door really hard.1/14/2017
*Update 1/21/17*

 Cabinet found open                                     

This post was thrown across the kitchen and laundry was found next to it. Laundry was at the bottom of the pile before hand

dry erase board was hanging but found placed on stove the net morning.

**UPDATE 2/15/2017** I was in my office and no one was home. The animals were upstairs with me and we heard 3 loud knocks coming from the closet door. The animals freaked out and ran downstairs and hid in the bathroom.

**UPDATE 3/7/17**  Again, in my office taking call for work and my entire computer started glitching out. At the same time both closet doors opened and the main office door shut. My cat also started running around like she was trying to get away from something.

** Update 4/14/17** Things have been so weird here as of late. We noticed activity spiking every 3 days or so then it goes dormant. Nothing out of the usual that I have mentioned has happened until this morning. I woke up to get ready for work and when I walked into the bathroom my fiancé was complaining of her neck burning. When I looked at her neck I found 4 big scratches right in the crease of her neck. I will post pictures later.

**Update 5/8/17 ** The same things have been happening with slamming and things being moved. We have entered some stones into the house to try and bring some good energy into the house. My fiancé was scratched once again but smaller marks this time. Last night we heard fingers or nails drumming on the walls and windows. She was also tapped on the shoulder while sitting in the office with me.

**Update 5/9/17** We have a local medium come out to the house with a 2 members of another local paranormal investigations team. We showed her through the house, not mentioning the activity that we have experienced yet. On the main level she said she can feel like there was something in the kitchen, or rather had been there because it wasn't now. As we traveled up stairs the air got hot and thick. It wasn't inviting at all. We kept the house around 71 degrees and upstairs was reading at 81. All 3 guests could feel the shift in the energy up in my office. 2 of them felt some sort of pressure. The medium stated that there was nothing here now once again but it has been recently. It was almost like it felt something behind that she can feel. She couldn't put her finger on it but it wasn't nice. I then started explaining to them what all has been happening in the last 7 months here.

** Update 5/30/17** A lot of strange things have happened in the past week. A growl was heard by me in the kitchen, the freezer door was found wide open, the toilet seat decided it wanted to slam itself in the middle of the night. Yesterday I was facing the window petting the cat Remi and heard a female whisper behind me. At the same time I heard the whisper, Remi jumped and looked in the exact direction I heard the voice. This morning while coming up to my office, I found the plug in oil thing turned on and also the closet light turned on. No one has been in the office since I left it Friday evening.

"Water baby bridge"

 
Concord covered bridge Built 1850, Smyrna, GA
 
   Back in my time in Georgia, I had a favorite "haunt". My friends and I would ride out to Smyrna to see the Water Baby bridge. The story goes: Back when the wars were going on in west GA there was a nurse who gave birth to a set of deformed triplets. Being disgusted with how her children looked, she dropped all three children at an orphanage. This orphanage is located on the banks of Nickajack river on the corner before the Old Concord bridge. Now the triplets lived there a several years, and of course the other children were cruel because of how deformed the triplets were. The children lured the triplets down to the bank of the river with promises of candy. When they got there however there was no candy. The children pushed them in and let them drown. Now the legend is you can park your car in the middle of the bridge and put a piece of candy on the top of your car. Once the lights are off you can start to hear the triplets start to climb the bridge and on top of your car to get the candy!

   Now for my experiences here: I heard these stories and of course wanted to investigate for myself. Three friends and myself took the drive out to the bridge on Halloween night.We parked right in the center of the bridge and turned the entire car off. We put a bite size snickers on top of the car. We weren't even waiting for a two full minutes before we started to hear noises and seeing shadows. We heard a big thump on the car and that was our sign to head on out. I started the car and sped out of the bridge. While rounding the corner i took a peak over my should to say something to my friend behind me. As I did, lighted by the passing street lights, I saw a child's hand print on the window. We pulled into a park just a few blocks down from the bridge. As we took a longer look at the hand printed, we realized it was from the outside.
  I have been back to the bridge several times. Even during the day the middle of the bridge is almost as black as night. It probably doesn't help that it is a one lane, old, covered wooden bridge. I have had many experiences there. Some with the candy and some without. It almost never disappointed me when looking for a thrill.
  The very last time I was ever at the bridge had to be the scariest experience ever. It was a normal night, just me and a friend. We pulled through the bridge and turned around so we would be facing the exit. I pulled the car to a stop and shut everything off and rolled down the windows. I was testing my luck. I wanted to see how crazy this could get. I sat there probably a good 10 minutes. Nothing was happening. I couldn't even hear the wind outside of the bridge or the water running under it. A very strange feeling came over my friend and I. Something was not right. I tried to start the car and it wouldn't start. We both at the same exact time had the feeling or urgency to get the out hell of there. Finally, the car started and we took off.
  Going up the hill exiting the bridge there is a sharp turn with another smaller, open bridge to go across (pictured above). As we came speeding out and took the corner to get on that other bridge a huge black figure jumped out at us from the woods and screamed. The shock of it all almost sent me over the railing. I was lucky enough to have control of the car still. It was like nothing I have ever seen or felt before in my life. I have never been back since.

* This bridge is dangerous. It is not abandoned and does have daily traffic all throughout the day.*

Max's reasoning

  The entire reason I am doing this is because of the experiences I have already had.  From a very young age things have happened that I can not explain for the life of me. I have lived in haunted houses. I have been to some places that have weird energies or what not. I'm not saying that every story you hear is true but I (we) are here to document what we find and see. Besides all that, this is great to do with my bestfriend. I will also be posting past experiences for everyone to read.
