2009 - Oneida County Historical Society - Utica, N.Y.
What makes for a good ghost investigation? A balmy summer night at the Oneida County Historical Society could well hold the answer to that question. Sighs of distress recorded 2 times in an empty room once called "the sick room". A whistle caught on a digital recorder seeming to respond to a team members request to the spirits to whistle or sing. A ghostly image recorded on film forming, then disappearing only to try to form again as we watched awestruck! A walkie talkie ringing on 2 seperate occasions, calls that did not come from our second walkie, calls that when answered were met with nothing but silence on the other end. A session of questions asked of the spirit world by our team members that were answered by responses of a flashlight whose battery had been disconnected. All this and so much more on that warm summer night in this place filled with history and mystery.

2009 - The Seashell Inn - Sylvan Beach, N.Y.
The Seashell Inn is a picturesque restaurant tucked away on the shores of Oneida Lake. We were summoned there by the owner, who after years of living with what she considered to be paranormal activity, wanted some hard core proof. The fun started right away! As we were being shown around, the owner had turned on a light to guide our way. An unseen hand, moments later turned it off! This event was captured on video. A story that graces the cover of the restaurants menu was backed up by the ghostly screams of a woman that was heard and recorded by the group at midnight.One of our investigators was summoned by a voice heard in the form of an evp upon analyzing our digital recordings. All of this combined with many interesting pictures, and paranormal activity caught on video lead us to believe there are indeed spirits at the Seashell Inn who are going to stay there.

2009 - Dunham Public Library - Whitesboro, N.Y.
History:General Herkimer and the Tryon County Militia camped on the site where the library now stands on their way to the Battle of Oriskany in1776 and reports of a ghostly man have seen here.A tavern was built on this exact spot sometime in the late 1700's. It was destroyed by a fire and a home was constructed there by Moses Earl Dunham and was donated by his wife as a public library before she died. During our investigation we were privileged to hear ghostly footsteps,see shadows out "of the corner of our eyes",K-2 meters flashing full lights in response to qestioning,and two of us us expierenced a gentle ghostly touch! Also, we recorded an evp response to the question " are you confused?" of "no".Several other evp's were recorded and a fully lighted flashlight entertained us as we tried to communicate with the spirits in the old and new additions to the library. With the history of the property,we believe many spirits have found reason to stay connected there.

2009 - Private Residence - Syracuse,N.Y.
Reported activity at this home included speaking voices, whispering and a midnight drumming to name a few. K-2 meter readings in response to questions during our investigation led us to believe we were not alone. We were fortunate to hear and record at 10pm the familiar low drumming sound and the whispers that were reported to us; in the master bedroom. Also several evp's were recorded. We believe the spirit who dwells there and has followed the owner in her travels, to be a comforting presence in the hopes of protecting these individuals.

2008 - Beardslee Castle - St. Johnsville, New York
Having accepted an invitation to do a fundraiser for the Herkimer County Historical Society our group decided we would do a quick investigation of the Castle to include in our public paranormal presentation there . Amazingly,we got some great evidence of the supernatural,in spite of the fact that the kitchen help stayed on later than we would have liked and our quiet, pristine investigation was noisey for awhile. It appears that ghosts get through somehow if they want to.Upstairs in the reception room using the K-2 meter we got a positive reading in response to a question.Also an evp of a laughing female on the second floor after distinct feelings that someone was there when there was not. In the dungeon, a flashlight went dead, only to come on by itself in the pocket of an investigator. An ifrared video shows a chair moving by itself as we sat trying to communicate with the spirits. That moving chair is a great piece of evidence of the supernatural under a controlled situation.

Investigation of some of the buildings here evidenced some great evp's digitally recorded at different locations.

Great pics of orbs and a feeling of a presence in and around Fort Bull. We will be returning to complete several more buildings at the village.

2008 - Wayside Pub - Elbridge, New York
Built in the 1800's and long known for its history of paranormal events, our two investigations there evidenced some interesting events of paranormal activity. Along with door knobs turning by themslves, whispering voices and a general feeling of being followed and watched, we were able to get quite a clear and sinister evp of a male laughing! Examination of digital and hi-8 recordings showed numerous large orbs in motion,a shadowy figure, and some good ectoplasmic pics. Truly we have added more paranormal events to its history and were pleased to have met the wonderful and accomodating owners.

May 2006 - The Hulbert House - Boonville, New York
On this subsequent investigation we have all been completely convinced with stating- this site is haunted! Negative energy felt by our psychic outside front of building. On the second floor in room 25, extremely negative energy felt. During a quiet moment in this room with two team members and our psychic, the ghost of a distressed male appeared with a start, catching us all of guard and a bit scared. He was tall and nervously wringing his hands, he appeared unaware of where he was and why. He was gently asked to move toward the light, as he was no longer with the living. Hesitating at first he disappeared in a “poof” manner. After this incident a pic of the man in the hall captured during the first investigation was presented to our psychic and she admitted that it looked like the ghost we’d encountered in room 25. Strangely enough- when the analog tape was played back of the incident, all of the audio had disappeared. We know why, and feel we experienced a very unusual phenomenon that only leads us to question again and again-the parallel dimension of life after death.

January 2006 - The Hulbert House - Boonville, New York
Initial Investigation. Our investigation of the famous 1812 restaurant and hotel proved quite successful as a haunted location as we were able to capture a clear and distinct EVP of echoing footsteps evenly spaced on the third floor. On the second floor a 35mm pic of a tall dark shadow of a man wearing civil war attire inclusive of a war hat and boots. No negative energy felt at this time and negative for gauss meter readings. Another investigation will be scheduled soon.

2006 - Herkimer 1834 Jail - Herkimer, New York
Famous for being the jail where the famed Chester Gillette was housed in 1906, our team turned up some positive gauss meter reading spikes moments before a team member was shoved to the floor in one of the cells. IT IS QUITE UNUSUAL FOR SOMEONE TO BE TOUCHED DURING AN INVESTIGATION AND WE CERTAINLY BELIEVE that something negative in nature had manifested. Both 35mm and digital pics show a spirit/ghost manifesting in front of Chester’s cell. Also, a 35mm pic of a very large Orb was taken in front of the jail outside. The general feeling there was quite eerie and we believe the place to be haunted.

July 2005 - Madison Hall - Morrisville, New York
An investigation into the old one time courthouse in Morrisville,seemed to fire up the spirit of Amos, the man who in the 1800's was responsible for setting the court on fire to hide evidence against the famed Loomis Gang. He was an unpleasant and rude spirit and wanted to be heard by our team.Believed to be haunted by professors who once worked there ,many digital pics of spirit orbs and a manisfestation of two men in the balcony of the court were revealed. A wonderful 35mm. pic of spirit ectoplasm was taken outside and to the left of the building where once stood the original jailhouse of old. The presence of of spirits was deeply felt by all team members.

May 2005 - Private residence - Herkimer, New York
We believe this Herkimer home to be truly haunted by spirits from the past, who at times have frightened the residents.Based on our investigation,we were able to capture spirit voices(evp)on our recorders, floating orbs on our monitors,still and digital photography and elevated emf and gauss meter readings.With the help of our own psychic Marlene, an apparition of a small girl manifested herself. At this time the residents are coming to a better understanding of spirit presence and welcome them in their home.

2005 - Saratoga County Homestead - Saratoga, New York
A former TB hospital of the late 1800’s where many sad souls remain to this day. Our team captured several photos of what appeared to be an evil entity in the window overlooking the front of the building. During our investigation of the interior negative feelings were encountered; one sending a member out of the basement with ill feelings and a black shadow at her footsteps. All felt foul odors and a general feeling of malaise. Our psychic came in contact with the ghost of a little girl tortured and trapped by memories of a sad event while she lived there. There were no spikes in gauss meter readings. Definitely a cold negative place.
