October

Since it is October, thought I'd repost in its final presentation form the shot from Waverly Hills. As I said before, this wasn't an actual case...this was our group getting to have some time off and have some fun doing what we do best!

updates

We have a bunch of large structure investigations to get to, as well as a few residentials. We are presently going over evidence from our last investigation that was really interesting. As soon as we get a sign off on the permission for release of evidence papers, we will let you know the story, and hopefully we caught on audio/video some of the phenomena that we witnessed that night.

BUSY TIMES

Just wanted to let everyone know we haven't posted anything here in a while because everyone has been really busy with their personal lives and a lot of life changes for all happend at the end of summer. The four of us are all fine and still intact, but really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things again. We have done a few small things here and there, but nothing really to post or to speak of. Lots of people with lots of STORIES and nothing actually happening. Once we lock down a couple more things we will be up and going again soon. STAY TUNED!!!!!

The Crump Theatre

A little over a month ago, we did an investigation of three places within one night. We had three groups of investigators revolve between three sites we had previously investigated, all within three blocks of each other in downtown Columbus Indiana. One of the more active sites that whole day was the Crump Theatre. From the time Todd and I (Craig) first opened the side door in the afternoon and walked on the stage, we saw something staring at us from the projector room. We yelled up to whomever it was, but they turned around and walked back. We ran up to see who it was since there was only one way down from there, and that was through us, but no one was around. We immediately broke out the EMF meter and Paracorder as we began a mini investigation. While sitting in the balcony, our meters both went off, and we heard a giggle that sounded like a small child that many people would hear throughout the night. We caught this whimsical little entity later on in the night.

The Hatchery part 2

Here is a better EVP. The story behind this one is quite remarkable; we could hear the EVP, but wasn't quite sure the word or name it was saying. When I drove back to Angola to play it for the first time with the clients, both Jon and Amy froze up and went pale. Amy informed me that it was saying "Cory", her deceased mother's name...and it was her deceased father's voice saying it in his own inflection! The team didn't have any idea of Amy's parents names, and now everyone knows who is trying to get their attention around the restaurant! SOUP would personally like to thank the Hatchery for a really great time and for being such gracious hosts.

The Hatchery

Here is one of a couple of EVP's that we discovered while investigating The Hatchery Restaurant up in Angola Indiana. There was a lot of whispering far off that we could hear, and then some that we couldn't. Here is a little of that in video form made by my ultracool new Windows Movie Maker!

Crump Theatre

The group is hosting an investigation at the Crump Theatre in Columbus, IN...along with a suprise of two other locations in the Columbus downtown area on the same night! This event is already all booked up, but if enough interest is shown, we will see what we can do to hold another event later in the summer/early fall. The event will help fund the Crump Theatre's restoration as well as another charity of a friend in need.

I will also be posting the evidence from our investigation of Angola's Hatchery Restaurant. This was a really great time, and an amazing structure. We've done some other investigations in between but those have been asked to remain confidential by the clients...so no evidence from those to post. Just tweaking a couple of the EVP's in the audio software and should have them up in the next day or two; keep checking back and thank you all for your comments and interest in our group!

By the way, we have been asked to do a bunch of historic, large structures coming up (our specialty), and we will be announcing those investigations as soon as we get papers signed and permission.

Remember you can always find us on Facebook or Twitter, and you can email us at soup1@live.com

The State of Things

After a couple of fruitless investigations, and being led on a wild goose chase with another, I am happy to say we are back on track with an investigation this coming weekend that has major potential. We were able to debunk pretty much everything at one investigation, then we were helping out for another investigation, when things out of our control hindered all possibilities of gathering any evidence. But, we aren't deterred that easily, and after entering the business for the first time, a long time ago, I knew I always wanted to investigate where we are going to be this weekend. I will keep you posted of what we find from there.
ALSO...we've been inundated with a massive amount of cases all scheduling, or talking with us at the same time. There are 3 that came in within this week alone that are DREAM cases in historic structures, and a bunch of others that we've worked on that have all fell into line in the last few weeks. I just really want to thank everyone for supporting us. The four of us are really living out our dreams, and we get to do what we talked about for so many years while sitting in each others living rooms on a regular basis now. The best thing is we get to do this together, and for that we are all richer.

P.S. We want to give a special thankyou to Michael Gaebler for helping us when we needed an extra hand on short notice. He knocked it out of the ballpark, and we loved the company. Thanks.

Stay tuned...its just getting interesting!!!!!!!

EVIDENCE from Caretakers House

We were brought a case about a Caretakers House that has set empty for a long period of time, and the management of the property would go in to check out things and batteries in cameras and recorders would go dead within minutes, as well as many tales of people seeing full apparitions at times. The Team did an investigation a couple of months ago and got permission to post these bits and pieces.

This is a picture taken by the management in the basement that had us perplexed. Other than the picture was taken with a slow shutter speed on the camera and it streaked...notice the hand coming down through the ceiling by the window. If you zoom in you can even make out the pattern on the shirt and it is a male. The management staff that took this was all female. We tried to debunk a lot of things in this spot, but kept getting motion detectors set off, EVPs as you will see, and someone walking up and down the stairs that are directly to the left of this photo. So here it begins

We usually break up into two groups, and one group investigates while the other is sequestered somewhere away as not to contaminate the other groups investigation. The group investigating also stays together for the common reason of having two sets of eyes, ears, and noses to corroborate what happens, and it also helps during analysis in knowing where everyone was during a certain time. 

This video is another where we know where everyone is...and no one is near the camera sitting on the kitchen counter...but you can definitely hear someone breath right into the microphone.

Same camera, and we did hear this right after the question was asked and didn't know what it was or where it was coming from.

And on this piece, we were towards the end of our investigation, and you can see that the battery on the IR has definitely died. This is video from a room that is on the inside of the house, so no light from outside reaches into it, and there aren't any windows or mirrors around. The investigators were upstairs at this time. Look to the right middle part of the screen for an unexplained light anomaly.
