Last Night’s Investigation

Last night started out disappointing from a technical aspect, but from a paranormal view, ‘Boy Howdy’!

First, the live stream. I’m going to spend the day trying to get a hold of UStream and see if they have any answers for me technically.

I have tried to go live on countless paranormal investigations, but to no avail. The funny thing is, every time I do a test broadcast before the actual event, everything works perfectly. Both audio and video come through just fine. I’ve broadcasted multiple shows multiple times without a hitch. Take yesterday for instance. Literally, four hours before my actual investigation I did a test broadcast and everything worked perfectly. But once I arrived on site, everything went down hill. My laptop did function properly, it took 30 minutes just to start-up, and so on. What’s interesting, these problems only seem to happen when I’m trying to do a paranormal investigation. If anyone out there has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know! I need all the help I can get! Now, the investigation.

How cool! I found out plenty of background information that I didn’t know before.

The entire building, the store and the upstairs apartment, was left vacant and boarded up for 30 years. During this time span, vagrants broke into the property from time to time and to refuge within the building. It was during this time span that a murder took place in the upstairs apartment. I haven’t been able to figure out where in the apartment this happen.

During my initial setup, I experienced the feeling of someone standing behind me, just watching. It was the typical feeling that evokes ‘goose pimples’ and an overall weird feeling just being in the place.

While I was fighting with the computer, I kept hearing knocking coming from the room to my left. Every time I heard the series of knocks, I would go into the room to look around. But every time there was nothing. Since I just arrived on location, I hadn’t set up my camera yet, so I didn’t get this on video. So, I have to chalk this up to a personal experience.

The other room that I found to be really hard to enter was the bathroom. This is the room where Zeke, the paranormal pooch, acted as if he saw something. This room absolutely freaked me out. Just passing by it worried me for some reason. So, I set up my camera trained down the hall where the bathroom was located, as well as left my digital audio recorder inside it.

Since I just did the investigation last night, I haven’t had time to review the evidence yet. As soon as I do, I’ll post anything that merits posting.
