Phenomena captured on film:
This was also one of the cleanest buildings that
we have investigated. Very few orbs were captured during our visit to the School
House. One of the orbs was interesting and stood out as possible spirit energy.
It was captured on the inside of the building by the front entrance. It passed
our shape and density test. Although it was very small it fit the type that
indicates high concentration of energy by being round and dense. We did attempt
to gather some EVP data but did not find any activity of that type.
The dousing rods were not
used in this building.
Summation: There
were eight investigators on this investigation. The team psychic, Melisa, was
present at all locations. Of the eight investigators five made a visit to the
School House at various times during the evening. We divided the eight
investigators into four teams of two and sent them to different locations
throughout the park. We attempted to cycle each team in and out of all 5
historic locations. Jason and I, Alan, were not assigned to any certain team. We
acted as resource managers floating between all teams. Building assignments were
made and each team was told they would be changing areas about every 45 minutes
until we had all been to each building. We wanted all of the teams to have the
chance to experience paranormal activity wherever it was found. Melisa the team
psychic was allowed to enter each building first. She made contact in several
areas as the night progressed. There were other spirit sensitives scattered
throughout the four teams.
The team psychic did
contact a small girl child in the School House. All that Melisa was able to get
out of the child was a laugh or giggle. She felt that spirits were present but
could not divine who or what they were.
The one room School house
was full of displays covered in plastic. This made taking pictures that could be
used impossible. While in the building Investigator Ramon found an area where
there was a high EMF (electro magnetic frequency) reading. We searched the area
until we found the source. The breaker box for the building was on the other
side of the wall. If a source for the high EMF reading can not be found then
possible spirit energy is usually thought to be near. The other team members did
not have any paranormal experiences in this building.
Our grading system helps us
determine if a building or house is haunted. Before we say whether or not a
haunting exists all of the evidence is evaluated and assigned points. We use the
following system; Scientific evidence consists of pictures, recordings both
video and audio, EMF readings and temperature readings. ( 0 – 50 pts.) Sensory
evidence consists of our five senses (0 – 25 pts.) and extra sensory evidence
consists of psychic or medium contact (0 – 25 pts.) The Male and Female
Academy at Powhatan State Park received 10 pts for scientific, 5 pts for sensory
and 10 pts for extra sensory. Total 25 pts.
Conclusion: We feel
that there is some sort of paranormal activity at the Male and Female Academy at Powhatan State Park. Perhaps
more testing of the building will provide more evidence of a haunting but until
then we can not say for certain that it is haunted.
