Business-Central Willamette Valley
November 2012
Location: near Albany, OR
Weather: 50’s, cloudy/overcast
Time of Investigation: late evening/early morning
Location Type: Business
Built: around 1915
Our team was called in to research recent activity at a local business near Albany. The reports we received were hearing noises, seeing an apparition & the
opening of the cash register. The building was built in the early 1900’s and has been a pharmacy and a grocery as well as other businesses through the years. At one time a family used the building as their residence as well as their business.
Investigation: On our two night investigation we were not able to get the cash register to open itself again and we couldn’t find a logical explanation on how it happened, as the register itself is difficult to manipulate into opening. We also were unable to acquire any pictures of an apparition. Our team did however receive our fair share of personal experiences & EVP’s.
On our first night we began around 9:00 with two groups of three. We set up our DVR cameras, called lights out and began investigating using a combination of our hand held devises which include cameras, digital recorders, ghost sensor, spirit box and Mel-Meter to name a few. The overall feeling of the location was
rather oppressive. As we investigated on the first night one of our investigators felt as though something very traumatic happened to someone who
once lived there; although our research has not located any documentation to back up this sensation. It seemed as though one of our teams was being followed
and received hits on the K-2/Mel-Meter when telling a couple of jokes. Therefore, it seemed that we had a prankster on our hands for the evening.
During one of our investigations on the first night we received an EVP after placing the digital recorder on the air conditioning unit of “I’m f-f-f-froze”.
Another EVP from that night came as we were walking through one of the rooms making noise and tagging that noise for review time of snapping & crackling
that said “[then] stay still”. We also heard the sounds of bells and what may have been a xylophone. We were unable to find anything that could have made
either of those sounds.
On the second night of our investigation we were down two people due to illnesses, so we had two groups of two. The feeling of the building seemed to have changed from the first night. It was a bit warmer inside which was good, but it felt more oppressed than the night before. The weather outside was basically the same only a few more sprinkles than the first night. Because so much had been reported during the day time hours we began our investigation a little earlier
beginning around 7:00 pm. One of our investigators was repeatedly touched during the evening and at one time felt like someone had taken their finger and
ran it along her spine although no one we could see was behind her at the time. From our EVP sessions we heard a last name as well as two more first names. The EVP evidence was rather compelling.
Overall it was an amazing investigation. We received one to two last names and four first names all together. Although it seemed we could have had quite the
jokester, we had at one time asked how many spirits were there with us and received the answer of four. They did however seem to stay out of reach and a
bit on the fringes; except of course for the “physical” touch one of our investigators felt.
Findings: We would classify this as a definite possible paranormal location and we look forward to being able to conduct another investigation there.
