Yeah, We had access to the whole place. Tina, the owner was really nice. She tried to talk to my friend about what happened to him. She has had some things happen sort of like that and so has other people, but they do not talk about the negative stuff. Would be bad for business I guess. I like the show TAPS too because most of the time they can prove that the hauntings are not real. I would say 95% of what people think are ghosts are not. I go into old houses all the time. I have seen some crazy stuff, but most of the stuff you see is caused by faulty wires, drafts, and just old house noises. I brought a sensor with me to Waverly, the first floor has power now but upper floors do not. There is one wire however upstairs that is live and it powers a light up on top. Most of what you see there is not on those floors. Tina, the owner would not go in a few areas. I, of course went straight for them. She hates the tunnel. She hates the room near where my friend got scratched. She actually hates the whole first floor. She said the mean ones are there. The areas where the children where are the most active. There are alot of short shadow people and they seem to like to play and follow you. You get alot of emotional feelings there that don't seem to be your own (that is the only way I can describe it). I thought I would be scared but I felt comfortable in the building. Even though weird stuff happens constantly. I could not even describe every event, it would be easier to tell you guys when things did not happen. I was able to figure out some where just "old building stuff", some was bats, and some was just the in ability to focus your eyes sometimes. I do believe in the paranormal, but I do not go out wanting to just believe that it is all "ghosts". Like you Michelle, I think about it as logically as you can. There was so much tradegy there that it is almost like some of the stuff is lingering. I think it is like an old peice of film, and is recorded in the building. I am not overly sensitive to that kind of stuff but you can feel things there. You see alot of black images that are almost in your face. You can't see through them, they have shape, form and move in unusual ways. they change direction and will follow you are peak around corners at you. Some have faces, some have whole bodies, some just look like blobs. the orb I siad hit my wife, looked more like a blob of really dark smoke like stuff. It was about 3 feet acrost and had a blue light in it. It went by my friend and her and hit her arm, she screamed and it reacted to the scream and flew in a zig zag motion and disappeared. If someone can debunk that, please do. Three people saw the that happen. None of that really scared us, more startled us. You do not get a feeling of fear there. It is kind of weird. My wife gets scared watching a scary movie and she was alright the whole time. The owner told us that she does not remember anyone going through the building on a all night tour that can say that something is still left in the building and that it is explainable.
I wish I could have got more detailed pics but it is really hard to get the stuff happening on film. Things happen so fast and constant. It is so dark and evertime you are sure you got something, you didn't. I almost put the cameras away and said heck with it.
I called my friend last night. He could not sleep. He is still messed up from what happened. He is not up for ever doing something like that again, atleast not soon. He could not sleep, was overly depressed and said had been sick and throwing up. All of us that where there have felt really depressed and I still feel weird. Just have a sad feeling that was not there before. It is not as bad today. I listened to the digital recorder of the actual event and it is scary sounding. Whatever happened it seemed to follow us afterward to the fifth floor. It talked a few times and had a gaspy breath like someone with a breathing issue gasping for air. I am sure we have alot on the recorder. I have over 8 hours of recordings. My camera that has two batteries that I use constantly and have not had to charge in months of use was fully charged and was almost out of power when we left. My bran new 3,000,000 candlelight spot light lasted seconds, my cell phone was dead, and so was one camera. My hard drive sonycam was drained to half within minutes. Batteries do not last in that place. I will see what else I have got and hopefully get some more stuff up on site soon.
Vabusa, if you do go there, let me know. I plan to go back. I want to buy a thermal camera though. I also want to get more recorders to leave running in some spots.
