Phenomena captured on film:
Orbs in motion and orbs at rest. The orbs captured were mostly bright and
well formed in nature.
We also photographed the image of a man in the mirror of room
218. There is a picture of what appears to be a woman hovering above the floor
in the conservatory and another of what may be a Native American in the same
room.
Most of the phenomena gathered was scattered throughout the
hotel but the most convincing was in the Conservatory.
Summation:
There were seventeen of us on this investigation. Three of those present
were psychics or spirit mediums. We met in the Conservatory at 10 o’clock pm
to review and check equipment. It was here and at this time that we had our
first paranormal experience.
Lori from Rogers, Arkansas, was standing quietly waiting on her
assignment when she felt a tug at her shirttail. At first she thought it was her
husband, Ted, trying to scare her. When she turned to tell him to quit, he wasn’t
behind her. As a matter of fact no one was behind her. Because of this, we
assigned the Conservatory to her and her husband. Their team captured the most
compelling evidence of spirit activity that evening.
The rest were divided into teams of four and were sent to what
were considered hot spots of spirit activity. We sent a team to the basement,
another team to the second floor and yet another to the area where mental
patients were once housed. The psychics and spirit mediums were allowed to roam
freely. They were to report back if they picked up any spirit energy.
All of the teams managed to record some sort of paranormal
activity before the evening concluded at 2 o’clock am.
What was most exciting to us was the fact that we managed to
pick up some new activity along with the old activity that was been reported
many times. The pictures of the spirit and the physical contact in the
Conservatory are new to the Crescent. This could be because the Conservatory is
not used very often and when it is used it is used for wedding receptions and
dinners.
We had some encounters with the spirit world while working
throughout the various areas of the Crescent Hotel. Some of the more vivid ones
can be seen listed below.
