Phenomena captured on film: Very few orbs were captured during our visit to the Jail. Some of the orbs were interesting. The orb shots that were good were taken from video footage as well as still photos.. They represent possible spirit energy. They were captured in the Jail. They were very quick moving. They passed our shape and density test. They fit the type that indicates high concentration of energy by being round and dense. We did attempt to gather some EVP data. This trip we were not able to get any EVP evidence in the Jail.
The dousing rods were used extensively in the jail and courtroom. Investigators Terri and Cindy did make contact using the dousing rods. First contact was an adult male in the courtroom. Later in the jail a female was contacted and of course she complained that she was wrongly incarcerated. Contact with Andrew was attempted but with no success.
Summation: There were nine investigators on this investigation. The team psychics, for this investigation were Melisa and may. They were present at all locations. Of the nine investigators all nine made a visit to the Courthouse at various times during the evening. We divided the nine investigators into 4 teams of two and sent them to different locations throughout the park. I acted as group leader and worked between all teams. We attempted to cycle each team in and out of three historic locations. The other two locations were not looked at on this trip. 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.
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 Old Jail received 35 pts for scientific, 10 pts for sensory and 15 pts for extra sensory. Total 60 pts. We believe that the spirits were not out and about on this trip due to bad weather prior to our investigation.
Conclusion: We feel that the Old Jail at Powhatan State park has paranormal activity going on in the building. It was the hot spot on this investigation.
