Looking Back At The Haunted Places I've Been

Looking back at all the places me and my team have investigated these last couple of years has been pretty outstanding.  There haven't been what I would consider alot but plenty.  Mostly because we have visited a few places more than once but well worth it. 

The most memorable investigation (s) would have to be Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville Ky.  Today this place is to be known as one of if not the most haunted place in America.  We have be there four times thus far and will possibly go back in 2012.  Each time we had been there has been such a different experience.  We've captured everything from sounds, sightings, touches, etc.  Everything from visual to audio to physical.  It's such an incredible place to do an investigation.  Being able to be allowed to inhabit the place for eight full hours at your own will (within reason and under their rules) is quite awesome.  There are guide lines to follow but other than that you are free to do your own thing.

I personally have been touched, had a back pack tugged on that I was wearing, heard voices, doors slamming and even the sound of someone wearing boots on a hard floor walking in front of me.  Keep in mind the one rule is to wear soft sole shoes so we don't have that problem.  The other thing I've experienced in Waverly is seeing a full apparition of a child.  We had set out some toys on a chair and told Timmy (this is the boys name) to come and play with them and when I turned around there he was peeking out of one of the door ways.  Theres nothing like experiencing something like that.  I can still picture it plain as day right now. 

The other places we've been to are a local church which we've been in twice and a close friends old farm house three times.  I've had people ask how can a church be haunted?  I wouldn't say it's haunted but more like those that were so involved with the church they are still there.  I have come across the sound of a little girls voice in the preschool room and the sound of a musical instrument in the music room.  So it's the little things like that which make an investigation.

The other very interesting place was our friends farm house.  This place gave us more than we bargained for.  We had done our homework with the history of the house and it's many owners, talked to people and visited the local graveyards.  The history of this house is phenomenal to say the least.  We found out there was a little girl held captive in one of the upper rooms because of a possible disability back in the 1800's and she was still trapped there because she passed there, possibly in a fire.  We had also dealt with something that was not very kind.  I don't know if I would dub it demonic but not a typical spirit.  There were things that made a couple of the people in our group sick and quite uneasy.  We heard things on our recorder that made us believe it was something evil as well.  We even had two people out of our group that was litterly scared out of the house. 

To say the least we have learned quite a lot and plan on so many more investigations in 2012.  And if you have any stories to share or questions please feel free to ask.

Dealing With Your Spirits

One thing I've noticed is the activity in my house has increased lately.  Being an investigator the hardest thing is not knowing why something is happening; especially when it's in your own house.  For the past 3-4 years I've noticed an increased amount of activity in my home.  It is nothing evil or spiteful, just enough of "things" happening that I know "something" is there.  Sounds, noises, touches, it's all there.  Who are they are where are they coming from?  Why is it so hard to investigate your own home?  Well, it could be something as simple as a loved one that has passed (which my grandmother just did), a spiritual connection with anyone that has passed that we are totally unaware of or even someone/something that we may have been "tagged" with in either an outside investigation or just from being in a spot where "something" was looking for an attachment. 

There is so much unknown out there that makes investigating not only more stressful but more intriguing.  This for me if the drive; to find out who, what, where and why...and sometimes how.  Who: Who is it we think is there or who are we looking for.  What: What is it if we think it's not human?  Are we dealing with something that is not a passed spirit but something more?  Where: Where are they after they pass?  Is there something between Earth and our final resting place?  Why: Why are they still here with us?  How:  The Biggest Question.  How are they able to still communicate?  How are they still here?

These are they questions that I try to use when I do an investigation.  This usually helps cover all basis when we are trying to figure out who's spirit (s) are still inhabiting a location.  Not always do we get the answers we are looking for and sometimes we get more than we expect. So if you have something in your home and you don't feel it's something bad (you will know trust me) then go ahead and start asking questions.  You may be surprised.
