Phenomena captured on film: All
phenomena captured during this investigation were with digital photography. The
phenomena were in the form of orbs. Some of the orbs did show movement but all
seven positive captures were well formed in nature.
Summation: There were
nine of us on this investigation. Within the first five minutes of the
investigation, Investigator Melissa came to me with some concern. She had
stepped into the sanctuary to look at the beautiful woodwork. She smelled smoke
and called me in to the sanctuary. While standing with me she began to hear
glass breaking around her. She had no previous knowledge of the fire that had
engulfed the church so many years previously.
Investigators Angie and Violet had been sent out to find
paranormal hot spots. The rest of the group was assigned to go to different
areas of the church.
Investigator Violet is the first to make contact. She was in the
balcony area of the sanctuary when she made contact with a very talkative
spirit. The spirit informed her that there were many spirits taking refuge in
the church. Later that evening Investigator Angie discovers the same information
while sitting in the sanctuary. She says that there are perhaps hundreds of
spirits in the church. These are the two areas that most of the orb pictures are
taken.
While investigators Larry and Melissa are in the basement, they
hear shuffling behind them. They said it sounded as if someone was dragging
their feet while walking behind them. Later, they took Angie and me to the
basement to show us where they had heard the noise. While on the way to the
basement we also heard what sounded like shuffling to our left. It was loud
enough to cause us to stop and look around for what was causing the noise. We
found no obvious reason for the shuffling sounds. We were alone and no one was
above us.
Investigator Vicki was in the family area when she was pushed.
She was just outside the door that separates the family room from the area to be
renovated. She said that she got the feeling she was not wanted there. Later, I
was using the dousing rods in the same area to make contact with any spirit and
was told to leave. I refused and was told again to leave. Investigator Violet
made contact in the same area and told us that the spirit was very angry and
wanted us to leave his room. During these contacts the temperature in the room
was going up and down from 69 degrees to 83 degrees.
While taking a break by the ramp that goes to the fellowship
hall, the side door buzzer sounded twice. Each time I responded there wasn’t
anyone there. While sitting with my back to the church office, I saw a vertical
shadow move down the hall toward the nursery. At the same time Investigator
Melissa heard footsteps in the same area.
The evening ended at approximately 1:00 am and we left the
building. I was the last to leave and Violet locked the outside gate.

At approximately 9:30 pm the four of us hear a shuffling
sound very close to us.

 |
At approximately 10:10 pm Investigators Angie and Violet
feel extreme heat in the rear of the family room. I take infrared air
temperature readings in the area and note a range of air temperature
from 69 degrees to 83 degrees.
|
 |
While sitting in front of the lounge Investigator Vicki
hears a door slam up stairs. This happened around 10:15 pm.
|
 |
At approximately 10:30 pm I took the dousing rods the
family room in an attempt to contact the spirit making the room hot. I
did make contact and the spirit told me to leave the room. I tried one
more time and was once again told to leave the room.
|
 |
At approximately 11:15 pm all teams met in the area
close to the ramp down to the fellowship hall to compare notes. At this
time I heard the side door buzzer twice and went to the door. No one was
there either time. I also saw a vertical shadow pass by me moving down
the hall from the church office. Investigator Melissa heard footsteps in
the same area.

We left at approximately 1 am with no other contact. |
