Phenomena captured on film: During this investigation we found the building to be clean and somewhat in order. We always come into an investigation whether it is a house or a business with an open mind knowing that spirits are everywhere. We do things a little different than may be expected in that we bring to bear all tools and disciplines available to the study of the supernatural.

That being said we cannot rule out the facts concerning this case. Our scientific approach netted us a good portion of evidence. The evidence gathered was done via still photography. We did run into very little psychic energy in the building. This energy can be labeled as residual energy. The investigators that did feel the energy said that it was weak and hard to pin down.

During this investigation we found some scientific signs of a haunting. We photographed several orbs of interest. Three of them fit our criteria of being energy orbs. To be an energy orb they must be very close to round in shape, dense in nature and show motion. We also captured several pictures of orbs that were weak but still had the characteristics that fit our criteria.

Summation: Due to the fact that investigation was a small business, we used a small group of investigators. A group of four seasoned investigators and one trainee was used on this investigation. The team psychics, John, Christina and Polly, were inserted into the building at 8 pm. They were allowed to do their walk through while the others set up equipment. Upon completion of their psychic evaluation they were extracted to be interviewed separately. While they were being interviewed the others went around the building taking pictures and various climatic readings. During the interview all of the psychics revealed that they felt residual energy only in this building. They said that the energy was that of a woman. The psychics felt that this was an imprint and that the spirit was not actually haunting the establishment.

Conclusion: Is the Burns Building in Smackover, Arkansas haunted? We have a grading system that helps us to answer such questions. We graded the evidence as follows; scientific evidence is photos, video, EMF readings, Temperature readings and EVP. On a scale of 0 – 50 we gave the scientific evidence gathered a 35. The evidence was there and it was strong. Sensory evidence is that of the human five senses and on a scale of 0 – 25 we gave the sensory evidence a 10. The extra sensory evidence is the feelings of the psychic and sensitive. On a scale of 0 – 25 we gave the extra sensory evidence a 10. The three psychics had very similar mental images as they went through the building. The grand total for this project is 55. The grading system of all evidence gathered tells us that there is some sort of paranormal activity happening in the dark recesses of the Burns Building in Smackover, Arkansas.
