Waverly Hills May 2009

Our group investigated Waverly Hills in May 2009 and it was a fascinating trip. It took us a while to get their due to the bad weather, but it was all worth it when we pulled into the parking lot. Big Al who was riding with me almost crapped his pants when he saw the building on top of the hill. He said that this looked like the beginning of a horror film and he hoped he was the main character. I asked him why he wanted to be the star and he said the star usually survives. We unloaded our equipment and headed toward the staging room. When we arrived in the briefing room, they told us to bring in lots of batteries because Waverly Hills has a way of draining batteries and also be aware that our equipment may fail . I have to admit they were right! My audio recorder quit working when I entered the building and most of us had some sort of battery failure thru out the night. I was amazed by how dark the building was and had a hard time finding my way around at first. I tried to locate the hot spots in the building and did not have a lot of success. We decided to split up into groups of three or four in order to better investigate. Around 3am we got a hit on our EMF detector by one of the poles in an open room. Derek took our KII meter to the pole to check for electrical interference, but there was none. We asked if there was someone there and the KII meter lit up. We later learned that the entity was a female patient. I tried to get the entity to respond a second time in order to confirm, but was unable to get a reaction! Our next interaction took place in what look like an old shower. Dot and David got a hit of seven on the EMF detector and called us over. When we entered the room, the first thing we all noticed was how cold it was in there. This was the response to the questions we asked. The entity was afraid of us, but wanted us to help it in some way. We found out it was a nurse and that he or she was not alone. The next hit strangely took place while we all were talking in the hallway. All of a sudden a cold spot formed in the middle of us and I said that I believe that there was someone with us. We tried to communicate with it and this is what we found out. The entity was a patient with a severe case of Tuberculosis who received great care at the hospital. We made our way to the floor Timmy was supposed to reside. Timmy was a small boy who supposedly died at Waverly. We were told that Timmy may move the ball upon command so our goal was to try to capture this. My team tried for over an hour to capture the spirit of Timmy and were unsuccessful. We then decided to meet in the lobby of the building to discuss our next move. While we were there, someone took a picture and out of the corner of my eye I saw what looked liked a child standing between Mike and I. Derek had the KII meter near me and I asked if someone was standing next to Mike and I. The KII meter lit up which we took as a yes! We found out that it was a child who liked to play ball. We did not get a response to our next couple of questions and I thought the child spirit had left. Lisa asked if it was still here and I thought I saw a bug fly in front of my camcorder and straight into Derek. Strangely the KII meter went off at that same moment. Derek asked if the entity was Timmy and the KII meter lit up. I asked Timmy if he wanted me to get the ball I left for him on the 2nd floor and bring it down for him to play with and the KII meter lit up once again. I asked Timmy more than once if he would like to play ball and each time the KII meter lit up. When asked if he was lonely, the KII meter lit up once again. After our experience with Timmy, we headed for the Gift shop. We were told that this area was a hot spot for paranormal activity. While we were there we experienced some activity. We all heard a banging sound in that room and asked if there was someone there and we got a KII hit. After asking our questions we found out that the spirit was an employee who used to work in the gift shop. When we left the gift shop, we met up at the stairwell to figure out our next move. While there, Jo ann told us that she did not feel well and wanted to leave this floor. We decided to ask if a spirit had attached itself to Jo ann and we got a hit on our KII meter. From our questions asked it told us that it had been following Jo ann and it liked her. Later when we moved up to next floor, we decided to see if the entity was still with her. We found out that the entity was still following Jo ann. It answered our questions thru the KII meter and we found out that it was male and she reminded him of a love one!! We had some other experiences which did not involve the KII meter which I would like to share. One happened to Big AL while he was in the body chute. Al was very proud of the fact that he was the last one out of the body chute and said so on his way out. However, he got cold chills when he listened to the audio recorder later. Right after he announced that he was the last one coming out of the tunnel, a man's voice told him to "Get Out". Big Al also had another experience where two people passed him in the hall and when he spoke to them they did not speak back. Later when he hooked up with the rest of us, he realized we were all accounted for and those two people he passed in the hall were not part of our group even though we were the only ones on the floor. We had a great time at Waverly Hills and are planning a return visit in the spring of 2010. I have some new equipment to try out as well as some new ideas. Before we make our return trip to Waverly, Mike and I are planning a quick trip to Eastern State Penitentiary. This is an event I am excited about because I will get to meet the TAPS team. I know I can learn some things from those guys!!! Wish me good hunting. DOC
