We arrived at the museum at
Some of the reports include toys in the children’s room being moved. The feeling of a presence has been reported in the office as well as the living room. There are a set of sleigh bells that have rung without physically moving. Marks have been made on the chalkboard in the classroom and the bell in there has rung. Music has been heard in the ballroom in the attic. A small boy has been seen running by the windows and footsteps have been heard. With all this activity we couldn’t wait to get started.
After all the equipment was set up we broke into small groups and did some investigating. It was an interesting experience having another group with us as we had never done that before. The excitement level was high so we didn’t follow our procedures as strictly as we usually do, but we learned a lot from the experience.
In the attic ballroom the EMF detectors were going crazy as well as the dowsing rods and pendulum. At one point the guys heard what sounded like things being thrown at them. We also had a temperature drop that lasted a couple minutes then the temperature returned to normal.
The school room was very active also and we had a good dowsing session. At one point it sounded like something scratching on the wall and when we went into the classroom to see what it was, there were several chalk marks on the blackboard. Unfortunately we were not able to capture it on camera as we didn’t have one set in the classroom.
Everyone had some type of personal experience; unfortunately we didn’t capture any evidence except possibly one picture. We hope to return and try again another time.
