Hello to all the great people that we met this last weekend at The Paranormal Fest in Columbus Indiana! SOUP had such a great time talking with so many people, hearing a lot of great stories, and was handed a couple of new leads.
This year looks to be our busiest and some of the largest investigations yet. WE ARE REALLY ECSTATIC and so thankful for all of your support once again!!!!!!!

P.S. Was so happy to hand out lots of our GHOST POOP to you all this weekend. Yes...that is just the type of light hearted group we are!

A new edit on an old video while going over evidence

This is a re-edit of a case that we did as a joint investigation. Yes, teams sometimes get together and help out each other, and no, all teams don't have to be competitive. It's about science and helping people, not an egofest.

Things to look forward to

We have all kept busy as Indianapolis has put Todd and I through our paces working downtown during the Superbowl lunacy that has taken the city by storm. Outside of that, SOUP will be participating in the Paranormal Fest on May 19th down in Columbus, Indiana, at the notoriously haunted Crump Theatre. There are a bunch of other groups going to be there, a few paranormal television stars, and for an extra fee, they are having an investigation of the Crump with some of the paranormal celebrities. You can find all the info at the website: www.theparanormalfest.com
We have been investing in a bunch of new equipment lately as to better our technical systems, and in general test out some theories. For one, we are going to see what happens when we use a bunch of negative ion generators in close proximity to our cameras, and then test out some new cameras that can see for 350 feet, with 600 line resolution along with our new external microphones.
SOUP is also gearing up for a return to Waverly Hills on March 4th., and we are all very excited with our extra investigators that are coming along with us. Outside of that, a couple of really interesting cases have been brought to us, and now for the arduous part of trying to nail down a time in our busy schedule to investigate. As always, if the client gives us the release that says we can post video, audio, and pictures after they have reviewed the evidence, we will share that evidence with you all to see what your take is on it.
Thank you all as always for backing our little tribe. We are looking to have a full website coming up with a blog feature involved...which of course means a nicer layout, and more money being spent! Stay tuned....

Happy New Year!

     I hope everyone had a great holiday, and Happy New Year to you all! I just wanted to say I am so very lucky to be part of a group that loves to hang out with each other, in and out of the dark, while people representing some of the most historic sites just hand us keys to the front doors and entrust us with these amazing structures, fully riding on our reputation alone! It never ceases to amaze me of how much we keep growing as a group, and how we are always trying to further educate ourselves while helping those around us.We have a lot of changes happening this year, and we are excited to see where the year takes us. I really want to thank all of our clients,past and present, for letting us prove that we really can help to make a difference in their lives.

     This year we've helped people who have not needed us to turn on one camera, or push one button on a meter. There have been people that have had spirits attatched to them that were wreaking havoc on their lives, and we were able to stop the activity with some simple instructions. Sure, we could have taped the environment around them and probably would have caught some crazy things on those tapes, but that wouldn't have helped them at all. What I am saying here is that I am glad we didnt get into this to become "Ghosthunters", and that we did it to be the Paranormal Investigators and scientists we are now. SOUP has noticed many groups have been "Selling Out" at an alarming ratea lately, and just trying to get press, and a TV deal; basically trying to help themselves and their wallets. Just know, the same four guys that you've come to know and love are not gonna go Hollywood folks. We've been offered these things, and really it isn't amusing to us. 

      This year we are going back to Waverly Hills Sanatorium to see how far we've come as a group, and in general, see how much more we can uncover in the large structure.We don't usually do the historically haunted sites as we have enough cases as is, but something has been eating at us for a while: I know we will hear more screams and see more shadowpeople than you can shake a stick at (as we witnessed  last time); but we want to start figuring out why these spirits stay there; why haven't some moved on by now, and really look into what is driving it all. We know that we may be doing some other hospitals that are shutting down in the near future, so this kind of gives us a leg up on figuring out how to clear some of the more negative entities, and also help those that reach out to us. I know it is a tall order being that Waverly Hills is looked upon as being The Mecca of Haunted....but why not? Lots of other historically haunted places have declined in activity from other groups caring and helping clear the spaces of spirits. Leaving a place to be haunted just so it is a funhouse for others is kind of a weird and cruel sense of amusement, right? I guess that it is all up to the individual, but we hope to find another piece of the puzzle, and have a great night of work down in Louisville KY! Hope to see you all in the NEW YEAR!

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!!!!!
