Investigation Report
Claims of Activity
1st Floor - Management of the building did not have many reports of activity on the first floor. They did report some uneasy feeling in the prop construction area, but that was about it.
Make-up Room - The make-up room seemed to have the most reports of activity. From the feeling of being watched to just an uneasy feeling in the room was most of the reports. Reading one of the previous investigation team's website, they reported that on investigator was physically attacked in this room. They reported that some unseen force squeezed an investigators knee to the point of crying and two other investigators were unable to pick her leg up off the ground, as if something was holding it there. The knee was released when the team stated out loud that they were leaving. They reported that a hand print could be seen on her knee.
Front Costume area - One member of management felt extremely uneasy in this room.
Back Costume Store Room - Another member of management stated that she was physically attacked while walking with an investigation group only a few months ago. She described the incident where the team was attempting to make contact when her ponytail was grabbed and it jerked her backwards. She was about to fall backwards when a member of the investigation team caught her and pulled her back. Other reports are that one member of the staff feels uneasy in the small props room and will not enter the area alone for a long period of time.
Hallway (2nd Floor) - Reports of full body apparitions are seen walking through the hallway. The reports have occurred multiple times on different occasions and are of a woman and a man in period clothing. Most reports of these apparitions are that they are not see-through and that many have mistaken them for actors dressed for the plays.
Men's Dressing Room - Management reports that on multiple occasions, the light to the men's dressing room will turn itself back on after being shut off. They state that when they shut all the lights off to the building at night and lock up, that they can see the light back on through the window. They report that the light switch actually has flipped itself back up to the on position.
"Red Room' - An uneasy feeling is felt in this 2nd floor room. An investigation from a previous paranormal group only a short time ago revealed an EVP in this room.
Equipment Location
Investigation
The investigation began with an EMF sweep of the building and a thermal scan. Activity began almost immediately during the thermal scan. While sweeping the dining area near the kitchen, Jeremy began to pick up random EMF spikes. So, we sat the K-2 meter down and began to attempt a K-2 session. What we didn't know was we were about to have a 38 minutes K-2 session with what seemed to be contact with a little girl named Haley. We were given the name from the managers of the location who captured the name from an EVP from a previous paranormal group. Due to the length of the EVP session, we only cut a small portion out for your viewing. During this session, it seemed that we were able to confirm that this little girl was indeed there at this location, that she died in the 1980's and that she was 12 years old. You will notice during the video that some times we respond to the K-2 meter even though the lights don't seem to light up on the video. It is unknown why this happened, but when we look at the raw footage, you can see the lights clearly. However, when the footage was run through our editing software to splice it for your view, the lights were not completely visible. If anyone is interested in seeing the actual raw video to confirm this and see the entire 38 minute conversation, please email me and I can send it to you on a disc. Also in the kitchen area, there was a picture taken of what looks to be a true orb.
Multiple different investigations of the make-up room revealed different activity throughout the night. During the first time in the room, our investigator Jeremy suddenly began to feel a very strong urge to leave the room and pleaded for the team to do so. So, we left, but another team immediately entered right after. During that time, Ryan had the sensation that he was almost breathing in electrified air every time he took a breath. He was the only one that felt this and he had never had anything like it happen before. He stated that it felt as if he were licking a 9 volt battery ever time he took a breath. This room was also where a very interesting K-2 session took place.
In the costume room, an orb flew right next to Ryan's head and then immediately darted off to the left and vanished half way through through the picture. Our investigator Troy saw this in the view finder as it happened and made reference to it. There were also many unexplained EMF spikes in that room that we could not explain.
The manager's of the location stated that there was really no real activity in the theater area, however, we were able to capture EVPs in that area. The first EVP was during a quiet period where the investigators were trying to get a feel for the room. It is unknown what it actually says. The 2nd EVP is happens shortly after Dave asks if anyone wants to make contact. There is a whisper of a "yeah" just before Dave asks Amber if she wants to go investigate the next room. Both EVPs have been amplified due to the low volume of the EVP themselves.
Director's Report
This location was a very good location. Our teams were able to have EMF sessions like none we have ever experienced before. This too, along with the personal experience that I had made for a very exciting investigation. It is safe to say there is paranormal activity happening at this location. Due to the managers not wanting to scare away their patrons, we have agreed to keep the name of this location quiet. However, if anyone is truly interested in this location, feel free to contact me and I will let you know about it. We never once ever dreamed of having a real K-2 session like the ones we encountered that night. Control questions were asked and reordered in an attempt to debunk the sessions, but they were truly legit. It was truly a remarkable experience for all of the investigators. We are also a group who does not really believe in orbs. However, the picture above makes us scratch our head and the video of the orb, to me, is unmistakable. Since Troy was able to see the event unfold before his eyes, this brings a little more strength to it. All in all, it was a great investigation and we would love to go back again.
Ryan Wyse, Director/Lead Investigator
