The whisper


I have been asked many times how I got into investigating the paranormal. The answer is always the same....by accident. If you had asked me a couple of years ago about paranormal activity, I would have thought you were nuts!! Now, I believe. This is my story for how it all began for Spook investigations. I work night shift at a hospital that had many floors closed down due to water damage. My co-worker would sometimes cut thru those floors to speed up his delivery time. Well one night as he was walking thru floor 4A, he heard a noise behind him and when he turned around he saw a shadowy figure step into one of the old patient rooms. When he returned to the department, he called security and they said it was probably someone just messing around up there. It seems a month earlier security caught a homeless man sleeping on that floor. So, I thought I would play a practical joke on my co-worker Al. I told him we would do a paranormal investigation on that floor and get to the bottom of this shadowy visitor. But what I had really done was call my friend Bob and asked him to hide out on the floor and make noises up there while we investigated. The next day, I added my friend Nate to our investigative team and with a camcorder in hand the three amigos were off to 4A. When we arrived to 4A, Bob started making all the ghostly sounds during our investigation. AL was pretty spooked at first, but was greatly relieved to find out that Bob was behind all noises. After having a good laugh at Al's expense, I continued taping on the other side of 4A. I darted in and out some of the old rooms just to look at the water damage and they were dark, damp and cold. When we returned to the department, we all watched the tape to have another laugh at big Al. At the end of the tape, we were startled by a whisper that appeared on the video as I was walking out of one of the rooms. We accused each other of saying it, but no one took responsibility. The whisper said "God D****t to hell". Not sure of what to believe we decided to do another investigation on 4A. Since then we have made over 60 investigations through out the hospital in which I will be glad to share with you our findings. DOC
