Phenomena captured on film:
This building was the least visited building of
the night. Very few pictures were taken in the Commercial Building. Of the
twenty some odd photos taken one stands out as a possible manifestation of a
spirit. There were only two other photos that any type of possible spirit
activity but they proved to be air born particulates and not energy. The one
positive photo was captured as a wisp of light close to the staff person Krista.
We did not attempt to gather EVP data in this building.
The dousing
rods were not used in an attempt to make contact with any spirits.
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
Telephone Exchange Building at various times during the evening. We divided the
eight investigators into 4 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 not make contact in the Commercial Building. None of the team
members that went to the building had any sensation of paranormal activity.
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
Telephone Exchange Building received 20 pts for scientific, 0 pts for sensory
and 0 pts for extra sensory. Total 10 pts.
Conclusion:
We feel that the Commercial Building at Powhatan State Park is not haunted. More
studies could reveal paranormal activity but until then we feel that the
building is quiet and clear of paranormal activity.
