Seven Islands Church

It has been a while since I posted, but a lot has happened to my team after our facility closed. Some of us have bounced from one job to another and have not had much free time. However, now that things are settling down, we are making plans to investigate local sites and a trip to Waverly in the spring. The investigation I would like to talk about took place back in the summer. We had been told that Seven Islands church was haunted and not a good place to visit after dark. Investigators have posted of seeing shadows, hearing foot steps and creepy ringing bells in the cemetery at night. With that in mind, we loaded our equipment and arrived at the church around 10pm. Joann, Linda and I were the only three from our team that could make this trip. The first thing we noticed when we arrived at the church was a glowing object at the back of the cemetery. Joann took pictures of the surroundings of the church while Linda and I investigated the cemetery. I would like to say that it was an awsome night to investigate. We had a full moon, the bugs were singing from the trees and bats were flying out of the church steeple! I would have to say on a creepy scale of 1 to 10...this was starting out as a 10!!! As we proceeded to the center of the cemetery, I started hearing what sounded like bells. We followed the sound of the bells and came to a gravesite that had a wind chime next to the gravestone. The sound of the bells was creepy, but not paranormal. Finally, we made it to the back of the cemetery were we found the glowing object we saw from the church. It turned out to be a solar powered lighted cross. Linda and I walked all over the cemetery with our EMF detector, but we never found anything. We made our way back to Joann at the church and she told us that while we were gone she had a visitor which turned out to be a possum!! We continued to investigate around the church, but were unable to find anything. But I have to admit, my eyes could have been playing tricks on me and bare in mind that it was a fool moon and fog was starting to creep into the cemetery from the river....but I swear I thought I saw a shadow of a person running thru the graveyard. When I shined my flashlight into that area, there was no one there! The only real scare I got was when a police officer pulled up behind us checking us out. He eventually backed up and drove off, but it did spook us a little! Later when I was analyzing our video recording, I did find something unusual. I heard a sigh on the recording while Linda and I were talking about one the tombstones. We believe Seven Islands church is a great place to visit and a little creepy at night, but would not say that it is haunted. Just remember that you might run into the local wildlife! DOC

So very cold

I am sad to announce that Nate has left our facility for other employment close to home. He will no longer be doing paranormal investigations at our facility anymore. He is a valuable member of Spook investigations and will be missed. Luckily, Jennifer M. volunteered to join the team. She wanted to learn about the paranormal and we welcomed her with open arms. Many have asked me what happened with the next investigation involving Jennifer Y. on 4A. Well this is how it went!! This investigation took place in the winter and maintenance decided it was time to cut off the heat to 4A since no one used the floor anymore. I want everyone to know that I never felt cold spots on that floor anymore because the temperature on 4A was quite cool now. Not cold enough to see your breath, but very cool! Jennifer M. attended the next investigation with Bob and I on 4A. While Bob and I were instructing her on how to use the EMF detector, we heard a strange knocking sound coming from one of the rooms down the hall. We did not hang around long because the noise we heard sounded like someone moving stuff around in that room. So we thought the activity might have been human and not paranormal. Later, when we listened to the tape of our brief investigation, we heard a strange laughing noise exactly like what was on the video tape in the spider webs post. The next day I decided it was time to send up Jennifer Y. Big Al was ready to go!! He had now overcome is fear of paranormal trash bags. What I now tell you is what I heard on the digital audio recorder and from what they saw and heard while on the floor. Jennifer Y. and Al were the only ones to make this investigation. I decided that I wanted as few people as possible on this venture. When they arrived on the floor it was very dark and cold. They also heard a knocking sound and it startled them because they had never heard it before! During the investigation they noticed that it was very windy outside and while in one of the rooms a window was rattling due to the wind. So they were able to debunk the knocking sound they heard previously. On the tape, I heard big Al say he was greatly relieved to find out that the noise was not paranormal and Jennifer stated that she believed that the window probably made the knocking sounds I had heard. Then to our surprise on the tape we heard a lady's voice say "I am cold....so very cold". I have to admit that this floor has paranormal activity on it, but I wonder about the other floors that are closed down. I also wonder if the paranormal activity is intelligent or risidual. We have had responses from what sounded like a man and a woman, but the laughter is hard to tell. My team has decided they want to check out the other floors before our facility shuts down permanently. We have always heard CCU was haunted so that is where we will go next!! Doc
