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.

To Everyone

Happy New Year from all of us at SOUP! May 2011 be the year your dreams are realized, and your life ablaze with opportunity!

Collaborative Effort

This is another piece from the collaborative case with The Hogues, and Spirit Paranormal. A shadow was seen on the back porch more than once from the living room where everyone had gathered. One time I saw it happen and rushed back there...and didn't find anything, but this caught a sound just before the incident.

The video from the joint investigation with Spirit and the Hogues.

Helping out in the Paranormal Community

Craig and SOUP are fortunate to be friends with many other groups that are out doing great work in the Paranormal Community. Tim Poynter of S.P.I.R.I.T. Paranormal asked Craig to help with a case that was being headed up by Kerri Cornell Hogue and her husband Tim Hogue on Thursday November 4, 2010. A man, his young daughter, and his girlfriend have all had encouters of being touched, grabbed and pushed on top of sightings and sounds within a 3 bedroom 1920s house. There was a death in the house of a man in the 1970s believed to be a suicide. While doing the investigation, words were heard spoken aloud close to the investigators, as well as a heavy feeling befalling the place. Tim Poynter sent me pictures of something he caught crawling up Tim Hogue's back and forming a hand.
