Public Building: 2ND Investigation Southern WI
05/14/2022
On On May 14, 2022, we returned to the property to try and obtain any further evidence of paranormal activity at the site. On our previous visit we experienced and captured some minimal results. Investigator Blaschka, Christiansen, Brown and Kasper arrived at the property at approximately 3:15PM. We met our contact and her co-worker. We discussed any activity that has been experienced since our last visit and then took a walk through of the property to determine camera placement for the evening.
Camera #1 – Basement meeting room facing southeast.
Camera #2 – Basement, behind desk, facing south.
Camera #3 – Basement area, facing south.
Camera #4 – Second level, facing east, north aisle.
Camera #5 – Second level, facing north, hall by emergency exit.
Camera #6 – Second level facing north, by fireplace.
Camera #7 – Second level facing east, south aisle.
Camera #8 – Second level, facing south.
Once the cameras were placed, we photographed all areas. This was done so that we would be able to compare them at the end of the evening to determine if anything had been moved.
We also took several infrared and normal light photographs of the entire property at the start of the investigation, during and at the end of the night. Upon review of all photos taken, none were found to have captured anything paranormal in nature.
We conducted several EVP sessions in the building. Sessions were conducted in the basement, near the fireplace, in the lower-level conference room, and the south end of the building on the 2nd level. Some of these sessions included using the Estes Method. Several of the sessions included the use of our SLS mapping device. Review of these sessions was interesting and yielded some results. During our first session in the basement, we heard and captured on audio what sounded like something being pulled out from the shelf and then dropped to the floor. While this was occurring, we also were mapping two figures on our SLS device. We inspected the entire lower level for a source of the sound but found nothing to explain the sound.
During our second session by the fireplace area, several questions were asked that referred to two prominent men from the past, both having strong ties to the building. Many times, our K2 meter, when used as a communication device, reacted to questions asked. No EVP was captured, and nothing was mapped on our SLS device during the session.
The remaining EVP sessions did not generate any solid results.
We also captured on our DVR camera footage at 9:54PM a very bright orb that moves toward the camera and to the right. It seems to move under its own power, a bit different than regular dust. We captured a few other strange bands of light that radiated upward in the basement area at 11:01PM as well as two orbs in the same area hooked together tumbling toward the camera at 11:26PM. None of these anomalies captured on DVR could be reasonably explained by researchers.
In conclusion, we did obtain some evidence that I feel was paranormal in nature. The sound of an item pulling out from the shelf and falling to the ground occurred while we were there, captured on audio and was witnessed by several people. This activity was reported to us by staff as something that occurs at the site on a regular basis. It is significant that it was captured by our researchers as well. The capture of several unexplained light anomalies and the mapping of entities on our SLS monitoring system also reinforces the claims that the building is haunted. We hope to continue further research of the site in the future if permitted.
