Investigation Results of Slick High School

 

Slick, OK, Oct.13th, 2008

 After a thorough investigation of the old High School building in Slick, OK, we were left with more questions than answers. Beginning at 4:30PM on the 11th of Oct., we began with EMF sweeps of the exterior of the building, assuring ourselves that indeed, there were NO live power sources in or near the building. Moving inside, we began a systematic mapping of the rooms and halls, did room-by-room EMF sweeps, temperature readings, and daylight photography of existing structures and rooms. The building is in a bad shape structurally, and many floors were impassable, with some gone entirely. The auditorium and gymnasium areas were both intact, but both had windows missing or access to open areas making it difficult, if not impossible, to check for cold spots or any temperature variations. During the course of the investigation, a few odd things were noted by the investigating team.

Firstly, a total lack of animal sign inside the building was noticed. The area surrounding the school is a residential area with plenty of neighborhood dogs, but at no time did we see any sign that a dog, cat, or any large animal frequented the building.

Secondly, all team members present reported odd thumps or snaps from the same general area of the school. One investigator saw a shadow approximately 3 feet tall dart down the first floor hall, but was unable to catch it on film.

Thirdly, a VERY high EMF spike was recorded in the 2nd floor storage room above the gym. This was followed by a severe drop in temperature < 10 degrees> and the hair on neck standing straight up. Efforts at communication produced no results, and no EVP's were captured at that location. I personally stayed in the dark room alone for over 10 minutes waiting for a repeat of whatever had happened earlier, but it did not occur again.

Finally, after reviewing all the photographic evidence, a couple of anomalies were apparent :

An unidentified shape was seen at the entrance of the building that in daylight showed nothing there.

                              

 

 

 Below are some of the many " orbs" captured. Shown only as information.

                                    

 Results were generally inconclusive. Personal experiences and some possible photographic evidence could lead one to believe in a " residual" type of ghostly activity.

                            

                                                           

Important update RE: Slick Investigation

On reviewing the recordings taken last October, and utilizing new and better software, I managed to find SEVERAL EVP's MISSED on the first try! Here are a few:

During my evp session on the 2nd floor in the room where I felt my hair stand up and got a HIGH emf spike, I asked " I think I felt you earlier.. do you want to say something".. I found this right after I asked that:

" Good contact? I heard you "

   

 Also I found :

Female laughter :

 

Then :  " Please stop that.. I'm asking.. stop "

Later we got : " Here's those people now... they know... they know "

And this one...  Female: " Kiss me "  Male: " You want that kiss "

 And several more, including " Hey Joe... run away! " " No, No! "< female voice>,

" I'm dead " , and 12 others.

Slick may have a lot more going on than we first stated! My appologies to the spirits there!

                 

                                                                      

Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK

This next investigation will take place on November 3rd, at the historic Cain's Ballroom, located in downtown Tulsa. 

 Built in 1924 to serve as a garage for one of Tulsa`s founders, Tate Brady. Madison W. "Daddy" Cain purchased the building in 1930 and named it Cain`s Dance Academy. The academy was the site of the Texas Playboys` first regular radio broadcast where they continued to play regularly. In 1976, Larry Schaeffer purchased the building, refurbished it, and reopened it with the current name, Cain`s Ballroom. In 1978, Cain`s Ballroom was one of only a few venues to host the Sex Pistols in their only American tour. Cain`s Ballroom has played host to such performers as the Sex Pistols, Van Halen, the Ramones, Ted Nugent, among other rock acts.

 

          

Reported Activity:

EMF activity and orbs caught in photos. Hot and cold spots have been felt. Lights turning on, off and dimming have been reported.

 

  The investigation at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, OK went much better than I’d dared hope. The night was clear, with a stout breeze gusting to 20 MPH and a temperature of 73 degree’s made for a perfect setting. All team members were on time and well prepared to look into the  reports of paranormal activity at the Cain’s that have been the talk of the town for many years.

 

On entry, we were all struck with the feeling of history in this large, beautiful building. Photographs of past performers and performances were spaced throughout the main stage area, and memorabilia was displayed above us on the 2nd floor landing and elsewhere . Country music greats, heavy metal bands, jazz, rock, they were all here. Our job tonight was to see how many were STILL here.

                                       

 

After setting up our base of operations, an interview was conducted with the Cain’s manager, Brad Harris. Mr. Harris was not only helpful, co-operative, and informative regarding the history of Cain’s Ballroom, but was also a witness to many unexplained events here. He was admittedly a “middle of the road” person as far as belief in ghosts went, stating he had no strong beliefs either way. His own experiences were described as visual and auditory in nature, most visual sightings being peripheral, and often discounted by him. His position as manager did place him in a position where stories from others, including staff members, flowed to him. He was gracious enough to share them with us.

 

Reported activity included:

Full bodied apparitions, disembodied voices, multiple voices, feelings of being

 “ watched”,  giggling, singing, and cold spots.

 

Team members were given a tour and hot spots were noted on the map we’d made of possible points of interest. We began with an attempted EMF sweep of several locations within the original building, and of the area recently added and remodeled. When we began the sweep, our detectors were screaming at every spot we went to. A quick survey showed why < see photo below >. Unshielded electrical conduit ran the length of the main auditorium on both sides. This conduit was also present in both bathrooms < where activity was reported>  and generally throughout the entire structure, rendering EMF data pretty much worthless.

 

 The conduit can be seen running along the right side of the right hand

wall at top.

                                   

 

EMF radiation at such high levels has been known to affect people in adverse ways, even to the point of illness, hallucination, skin irritations, and intense paranoia. We DID keep this in mind as we continued our investigation.

 

Evidence is still being examined and analyzed, but I’ll say up front that the night was filled with personal experiences including shadow people, strange sounds, shadows of all types, movement, and .. well.. I’ll let you see for yourself when all the evidence is in.

                             

 

We looked for evidence of The Black Cowboy, The Lady in Red, and the Watcher In the Bathrooms. I’ll be posting the complete findings soon. Keep watching.

 

11/10/08

What we found:

Below is a short sample of the many EVP's captured at Cain's. This one, as several others did, has singing clearly audible. Trust me.. we were NOT singing... this one was captured on a digital recorder placed on the bar in the main auditorium unattended.

                                                                   

 

   

Another EVP was captured when a team member was taking digital photographs. Each time he took a shot, he called " flash" to let others know a flash was coming. Apparantly, something there thought he needed a reminder at one point. In this clip, you can hear something say " flash it" pretty clearly.

 

                                                                 

 

 

Here's a piece we caught on the stage. Sounds like someone, or thing, was into electric guitar!

                                                                 

 In addition to some very cool EVP's captured on digital recorders, we also placed a video cam in the men's restroom and left it there unattended for about 15 minutes.  Just seconds after the team members left the area, a male tenor voice was captured singing for about 5 seconds. Here's the audio portion of that video.

                                                                  

During the course of the investigation, many shadows were seen. I myself was fortunate enough to witness a " shadow person" or a shadow with human form about 4 feet tall move from the entrance to the bar area to the far end of the bar and dissappear through a closed door. Later, another member caught shadow movement in the same area, and another member shot some flash shots of this " hot spot", and it looks like we caught it on film.. I'll let you decide.

      See the strange mist/blob/thing hovering below? It is substantial enough to cast it's OWN shadow. There was nothing there later or earlier. I checked the original picture as well as the negative. It is not a smudge, smoke, or anything else I can identify. You tell ME.

                           

Blow up of the unidentified " something".

                                             

 Additionally, a team member and myself experienced a strange " chill" and the hair raised up on both our arms. A member shot off a few digital shots of us trying to capture whatever had just touched us both. While I seldom put much stock in " orbs" I find it oddly coincidental that two orbs are seen going away from us just after we both felt the chill. Here's the photo.

 

                          

 

Orbs, of course, are highly controversial in the paranormal community. Most are dust or insects. There remain a few, however, that defy normal methods of indentification. Those are almost always orbs that somehow look more " solid", seem to produce their own light, and move in odd ways, such as up, at an angle, or in circles.

In the following picture, you'll see a lot of "orbs".

 

                        

 

Compare the pictured orbs above with the orbs shown in this one :

 

              

 Altogether, the investigation proved interesting and provided us all with many memorable experiences as well as a lot a good evidence. If you ever get a chance to visit Cain's Ballroom, in Tulsa, OK, just have a camera handy. You may get lucky and catch a ghost!

 

 

 

Johnny Carino's Italian Restaurant, Tulsa

On Sunday, Nov. 16th, we'll be investigating claims of supernatural events at one of Tulsa's finest Italian restaurants. Loud banging as of dropped pots or pans, rapping on windows, lights going on and off, cold spots, and other events experienced by both managers, led them to contact us for answers.

The building itself is quite striking in it's old-world design. The interior is elegant and tastefully decorated, with many photographs from Italy hanging on the walls. Lighting is subdued and romantic, but perhaps there is more here than tastefully aranged pictures and romantic atmosphere. We'll soon find out.

November 18th

After meeting with one of the managers, I was really looking forward to this investigation. Not only was he an intelligent, credible witness, but also a very likeable young man. The night of the 16th, I met the other manager, who was extremely cooperative and helpful. Both of these young men were rational professional's whose main concern was the running of a restaraunt, and neither was prone to hallucinations. When they both spoke of similar occurances at the restaurant, I listened closely for errors or hint's of a hoax or fabrication. There was none. These men wanted answers! I intend to give them those answers to the best of my ability.

The building itself is wood and limestone. The landscaped area surounding the building is also limestone. Just mentioning this because current theories regarding hauntings are claiming limestone to be a good storehouse material for psychic energy.

                                         

 

 From the moment the investigation began, we all knew we were in for an interesting night! I don't usually post many "personal experiences" as I feel these are basically  "stories" and not backed up by hard evidence. In this instance, I think I'll make an exception, as 5 witnesses validated the event. I was doing a simple EMF sweep of an area near the bar using a Gauss meter..one that has a button on the side that MUST be pressed before the meter will function... or at least  that's the way it's supposed to work! As I made my way around the area, the meter spiked at 10 and started screaming so I let go of the button , thinking I'd gotten too close to a power outlet.. but no.. the meter continued to scream and run back and forth between 8 and 10 miligauss with the button NOT being pressed. The manager looked at me and asked if everything was ok.. I had to smile as I explained what was going on. I don't think he belived me at first. But I then moved away from that particular area, and the meter went silent. I then placed the meter into the managers hand and had him move towards the hot spot.. and again it went off the charts, screaming bloody murder. Needless to say, the manager was surprised. I then showed others of my team the effect, and had several duplicate the event, with the same thing happening each time.

 Shortly after this, 3 people reported seeing shadows move behind a stainless steel counter. I saw this movement myself, and decided to try to re-create these shadows with body movement. Didn't happen. I went out to the entryway and watched for car lights.. several cars passed by,  but no shadows were cast. Feeling that I needed more than stories of shadows, we set up a motion detector and a video cam in that area. Digital cam shots were also taken. Here's one that looks like it has what I saw in it.

                               

                                                                 

                                  

           Enlarged section showing the shadow shape more clearly. It was  greenish/grey  mist-like , 3-4 feet tall and moved back into the adjoining storage area as soon as we attempted contact.

Just in passing, I'll also mention that when we began the investigation, the night staff were mopping the floors and making the whole place look like a million dollars. Floors were still wet when we began. Orbs kept appearing in shots  we took in places that always showed high EMF actvity. The reason I selected this particular photo, is that in addition to the orb at center, we also caught a strange "mist" or etheric shape in the mirror at the right. This orb was photographed over " table 13".. the table of choice of a local psychic medium that was instrumental in bringing us into the investigation. I think I can see why she likes this table !

Thank you Sarah!

While attempting contact with what the psychic said was the spirit of a young child, we captured this brief piece of audio. I'll set it up this way: In the fireplace room is a mantle holding several items from Italy. Some of the items are toys, and a toy truck was said to be a favorite toy of this child, who did NOT want others touching or moving it. So, of COURSE we had to touch it and move it! While we were attempting to video this, a small little voice was heard by the managers, both of whom were just outside the doorway. No team member heard the voice, and both managers were very dissappointed that they were the only ones to hear it. BUT... ta da... technology to the rescue... the audio WAS caught on the video cam! Here's what they heard. You'll hear the voice of the child just after the time is given.

  

 Three  EVP's were caught saying " hello".. here's the clearest one

                                                                                                      

 

                                 Conclusion

This was a very fruitful evening, with a lot of hard paranormal evidence collected. EVP's, photographs, and video  and several personal experiences, left no doubt that  Johnny Carino's Italian Restaurant is haunted. No negative spirits were encountered and all evidence points to at least 4 spirits there that simply want to share the space with the patrons and staff of this delightful establishment. All attempts to debunk our experiences failed.

I highly recommend a visit to Johnny Carino's at 41st and Sheriden in Tulsa. Just be polite to the ones you cannot see. Say hi and don't be surprised if they answer!

 

 

 Yale, OK : " Satan's House "

Jan 3rd, 2009

Just the sound of " Satans House" led us to expect a lot of negative energy at this abandoned refinery in Yale, Ok. But such was not the case. After meeting with the property owner  and getting a tour of the 2 buildings left standing, we began the investigation. The temperature was a nice 64 degree's when we arived there, but dropped like a rock to a chilly 42 degree's within an hour. The wind was gusting to 20 MPH out of the north. Both sites were heavily overgrown so just getting to them was problematic. But.. hey.. it's what we do.

Building one was creepy and dark, but very little activity was found there. No EMF detected.

 

Building 2 was the more interesting of the 2 buildings. All walls were covered with satanic symbols. No EMF detected.

One EVP was captured saying " Please help me"...

Several "orbs" were captured on digital cams.

One "orb" seen between us and one on  Beckie. No explanation for the shadow at right.

Some evidence is still being analyzed, but from what I've seen and heard, I'll state that there is  some  paranormal activity at this location,  but I would not say"haunted.  Since no apparitions were seen, felt, or otherwise experienced, and nothing was captured in either photo's or on video, no " haunting" can be documented. Saying that, I'd like to ALSO say, that voice recordings were numerous and clear, making me want to visit this place again... in warmer weather!

 haunted - inhabited by or as if by apparitions as in a haunted house
 
 apparition: an unusual or unexpected sight :. a ghostly figure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

January 19th, The Old Jail in Sapulpa, OK

 

This one was fun! This old jail had been used as a " spook house"  last Haloween. It was still decorated with a lot of "interesting" items, which really set the mood for this investigation. Since we lost 2 of our team members due to other obligations, and 1 member was unable to make it, we were short handed, but did gain an extra bit of help from a local newspaper reporter who was drafted into service.

Evidence is still being gone over, but I'll go ahead and post a little sample of the nights events.

Here's a shot of the outside of the building. The "roof" you see at bottom is the detention area, with the small upper area now used for storage.

During the course of the investigation, several high EMF readings were noted. In one area where a high spike of 8 was recorded, we got this interesting shot.

                             

 While only 2 EVP's were collected < so far>, I think you'll like this one.... I know I did!                  " You all can't hurt me... you know that"

                                                      

The jail itself was oppressive and dark. Several shadows were seen, along with orbs that seemed to react to requests. One member claims being shoved, and the reporter found several locations he would not enter due to bad feelings. We all had personal experiences and saw/heard some unusual things. At this juncture, though, I'll say " not haunted" but yes, it IS paranormally active.

                                                      

 

 

 

                   Unity Church in Tulsa, OK

                             

 

On January 30th, we ran an investigation at the Unity Church. Frankly, NO paranormal activity had been reported, but I had hopes of documenting the existence of a “ higher level” of spirit existence in this beautiful Church, which teaches love and open minded inquiry into all things spiritual. The people at the Church were very helpful and cooperative, and my thanks goes to those that paved the way for this investigation.

Thank you, Ann and George!

                    Jim and Beckie

 

Whether or not we actually reached a high level of spirit is open to debate. We DID capture several good orbs and a possible mist in the building. The real paranormal evidence came in the form of EVP’s which were captured in every area of the building. Male voices, female voices, unknown voices, all were heard on our recordings. Many were interactive, responding positively to questions. Others were NOT so friendly or helpful. Here are a few examples.

 

These very large orbs hovered around the winged globe symbol.

 

Look in the marked area. On the toy in a classroom is a small orb. In the doorway, an unexplained mist is forming.

 

EVP's were both plentiful and clear. One of the clearest is this one which says < and my German isn't good at all, so correct the spelling for me > " Danke Shein "... and a female voice explains " Thank you very much"

 

 

 

When asked " where are you?" by the investigator, we got " We're not missing.. we're here "

 

While running our evp sessions, I played 3 different CD's. The first was a CD of Gregorian Chants. The next 2 were my experimental brainwave frequencies. A response to the brainwave frequency CD follows.

 " The sound of light " < female >  " Energy " < male >

 

 

 An interesting photo of the hall and library area was discovered by Beckie, my analyst. When she brought this particular photo to my attention, I again looked at it and remembered that I had " assumed" at first glance that this was Vic, another member of the group.  But after close examination and checking back on the time the photo was taken, it was a shock to find that all other members were at this time together in the main service area doing evp sessions! Secondly, I did a quick leg count, and all members had 2 legs! I remember taking 2 photo's with a digital camera of this area as I'm prone to do... a light's ON and a light's OFF for comparison. Just the way I do things. I'll post both photo's here.

A BIG " well done" to analyst Beckie for catching this one !

Below is the area with lights ON

 

 

Below is same area with lights OFF. All members are accounted for. The picture of the shadowy figure with the insubstantial legs and partial head is NOT of any member of the group and no other <living> people were present. I saw no figure when I took this shot. The figure is also far shorter than any member would be.

 

With this shot of the shadow figure showing up, and several class A evp's collected, I have to say that yes, this wonderful Church IS haunted < pleasantly>.

 

 

The Old Smith Funeral Home, Sapulpa, OK, February 7th

 

The Funeral Home is now being used by the Sheriff’s Department. Interviews with the people there yielded many stories of footsteps, voices, singing, apparitions, and objects moving as well as an orb captured on tape moving laterally and disappearing thru a wall. We approached this investigation with our usual skepticism, but with so many credible witnesses, we were hard pressed not to expect an interesting evening!

 

We began with an interview session with 3 witnesses and a mapping of the area. Hot spots were noted for extra attention. EMF sweeps gave us several interesting readings, with the gauss meter once again behaving in an unusual fashion, meaning it was functioning with the power OFF. Hmmmm

 

4 video sessions and 8 evp sessions gave us some interesting data. Photo’s captured several ORBS that didn’t appear to act like dust, insulation, pollen, or insects. Mainly, the SIZE of these orbs was decidedly striking, being much larger than most we catch. Many seemed to produce their own light and were in places known to be  “ hot spots”… places where voices and apparitions had been witnessed.

 

One interesting event took place in the attic, now used as a storage area, but at one time was the living quarters of the Funeral Home owners. During the investigation a small ball was placed on the floor and spirits were asked to move it. While 5 people watched, the ball actually moved… stopped, and began to move again in a zigzag pattern, finally coming to a stop again. The floor itself was uneven, and may have caused this to happen, but several attempts to duplicate this motion yielded nothing that compared to the action witnessed earlier. Hmmmm

Note small orb at right by duct.

 

 While the ball rolling was taking place, I heard a distinct sound coming from an adjoining room. It sounded to me like a step/drag type of footstep. My first impression was of someone with a hurt leg taking a step. I had one of the team members ask the people there if anyone who had lived in the upstairs area had a hurt leg. The answer surprised me. It seems a former occupant actually had an artificial leg! Hmmmmm

                                   No shortage of paperwork!

 

All the evidence has not yet been analyzed. This may take weeks. Preliminary evidence does indeed point to an actual haunting, based on credible witness accounts and events experienced by S.P.O.OK members. Several Class A EVP’s support this conclusion, but a final determination will be made after ALL the evidence is gone over.

A few EVP's... more being analyzed

From the former funeral home viewing area, where the bodies were placed for viewing by family and friends we get:

" I appreciate you read my letters "

 

 

A possible name given in this one... " Debbie Winsler " ?

 

This one is strange.. a male scream.. then  "  I heard you  "

 

 

 

 

 

 Generally, it was a very "interesting" evening. Personal experiences, ball's moving on their own, photo's of orbs, and strange noises on video recorders. and many class A evp's, made me want to say, yeah... this building is definitely haunted... BUT.. with SO many other people around during the investigation, I have to leave it at " paranormally active". I'd dearly love to return again to this place and do a proper investigation with a lot fewer folks around to give false readings on the recorders. The people were great, and most jumped right in to help, but people talk.. and voices carry, so a lot of the potential evp evidence is corrupted.

 

Even so, it was WELL worth the time and effort!

The photo below is of a Deputy displaying a human bone to one of our members. No lights or reflective surfaces were in the area. This one made me go " hmmmm".

                                

 On Feb 21st, Jim and Beckie did a repeat investigation at the old funeral home, focusing on EVP recordings to see once and for all if it was the voices of the dead we'd captured before or simply voices of the many people there . THIS time, just 2 investigators, and 3 staff members were present. We divided ourselves into 2 groups, with Beckie and MaryLou recording in the former chapel area, and Jim, Diana, and Tina doing photo's and recordings in the attic. Lo and behold, we had several GOOD evp's from BOTH locations. Later, we even placed a recorder (on but unmanned) in the basement area, close to the old embalming room.

 

A review of the recordings gave us several non-contaminated EVP's. Photo's gave limited evidence, with only " orbs" being caught. I will say, however, that I personally caught 3 different sized shadow people moveing in the attic. One was also seen by Diana. With the sighting, and the validation by a 2nd party OF this sighting, added to the evp's, personal experiences, and past witness accounts, I can feel VERY comfortable in saying that this place is HAUNTED!

 A loud " Hey " and then " Fruitcake! "

 

 You'll hear Diana say she's getting goosebumps.. waves of them... then

 " goosebumps...ha.ha.ha "

 

 

 

 

Some random EVP's for you

 

 

 

 

 " See the toy's, miss... OMG I love ya' "

 " Freedom "

  " Put my hat on it " 

 " Hi everyone... I have a surprise for you "

 "  Did anyone kill her?  " < child voice> .. very clear..sad.

 "  I'm Noah "   <whispered child voice>

  " I was rich "

  " Spooks in here! In the old place. Haunting. "

  " ooooooooooooo...hello folks! "

  " Hello! Ya' wanna' race?  "

  " Good morning "

 " No drinking! "

 

 

 

 

 Pleasant Porter School 3/7/09

    

 

Pleasant Porter school was built in 1929 and closed its doors in 1980. The school was built on land that was originally given to the Creek Indians by the government during the Trail of Tears. The land was then granted to Indians that served for the government. Pleasant Porter was half Indian and half white. He was a member of the bird clan and received the name Talof Harjo or Crazy Bear. In 1860 he enlisted as a private into the Confederacy of the first Creek regiment. The regiment was involved in a battle at Bird Creek north of Tulsa. Later he became the representative of the Creek people.

          Pleasant Porter school is located in Red Fork. This was a village created by the railroads at the time and later became know for oil. Pleasant Porter school and other surrounding schools were all built on land owned by Charles and Louise Atkins Clinton. They owned a large ranch called the Half Circle S Ranch, later to be called the Last Chance Ranch. The land for the schools was from the Ranch.  Also, the same year that Pleasant Porter School was built is the year of the Great Depression.

Thanks to all the wonderful staff members at this incredible school, we were allowed full access to all areas of the inside, outside, and UNDERNEATH areas to run this investigation. It was a daunting task, as this building is HUGE, with reports of activity in nearly every part.  Mapping the building took over an hour. Temperature was 72 degrees, with a ligh wind of 15 mph. The inner areas consistantly warm < except for a few cold spots!> and pleasant. EMF readings were somewhat affected by the electrical conduit, but generally we got good readings. Most were HIGH.  Reported activity included voices, shadows, footsteps, children seen and then NOT seen, full apparitions of a man <men, as some descriptions varied>, cold spots, lights, and electrical devices turning themselves on/off. We had our work cut out for us on THIS one!

One very interesting feature of the building was a "tunnel" under the building that went completely around the structure. It was facinatiing because of the high emf readings there and the number of "interesting" orbs as well as several clear, informative evp's.

 

 My "Ghost" CD was played in the Gym/Stage area for 20 minutes. Photo's were taken behind the stage and in front of the stage before and after the CD was played. The photo's were interesting and might alter some thinking regarding "orbs". Here's the photo behind the stage BEFORE the CD was played:

 

 

 And this one was taken AFTER the CD was played for 20 minutes:

 

In addition to the many "orb" photo's captured, we did get the following shots of misty haze and giant orb in the playground area where children have been seen playing that simply vanished when looked for again.

 

This one shows a possible vortex in the same area:

 

EVP's were many and varried from cry's for help to insults! Several seemed to be childrens voices. Others were from mature male's and females. A few samples will suffice to show the variety we captured.

 

  " You can set me free "

 

  " Brian, you're so bad! "

 

  " Daniel Worth" < child whispered>

 

 :  " Peter " < child voice >

 

  " Tell me " < same child voice >

 

   " That's me up there... I can see! " < clild voice >

 

  " Show ... Me " < strong female voice >

 

  " Don't hurt me ! "

 

  " It's me "

 

 This was a truly interesting investigation. Special thanks to Tiffany and Marsha for all their help in giving us a good history, several informative interviews from staff members, and providing us with full access. Given the amount and type of EVP's captured, personal experiences by members of S.P.O.OK, photographical and video evidence obtained, I have to say that THIS SCHOOL is

WAY HAUNTED!

 

 

 

       A Residence In Tulsa

 

Christy from OKPRI sent me information on this case and asked if I'd look into it. After reviewing the information she sent, I made arangements with the client to meet and discuss the problems she'd been experiencing. This is a 32 year old woman with 3 children at home, all of whom are reporting voices, objects thrown, and apparitions of a dark man in a mask. Her detailed accounting of the events made me shudder. I truly felt as if we may be dealing with a Demonic here. But before we jumped to any hasty assumptions, I accepted the case and set up a night to run a full investigation. For this case, I only pulled in 3 members and myself to spend the night in the home and make an effort to capture some evidence.

What we got, at first, was a LOT of EVP's, a tap on my head, several popping sounds and shadow movement in a room with a large mirror.

We began the investigation at 7:00PM and stayed till 9:00AM the next morning.

The night went well at first, but repeated noises kept comming from the room with the large mirror. Our camers kept up a constant barrage upon this and other areas of the home. Recorders and video cams were strategically placed and kept running. As the evening progressed, light ribbons were seen by myself and 2 other members. Shadows were seen , noises heard, I was " thumped" fairly hard on the top of my head. I actually thought I'd run into something. There was a small knot there the next day.

At about 9:00pm I began playing a Gregorian Chant CD provided by Group Member Beckie. At 9:35pm I replaced it with my brain wave frequency CD and played it for 24 minutes.

 

 

 

The large mirror can be seen dead center in the back. On further examination of this photo I found something interesting other than the many orbs.

 

 

The small, misty shape of the little girl holding a puppy or doll can be seen left center.

 

Earlier on, Group Member Sherry captured THIS photo in the same mirror.

 

 

Later, Group Member Byron captured THIS distubing shot.

 

Folks, this is something every ghost hunter dreads, because this is not and never HAS been " human".

 

 I'm trying to reach the client to inform her of the danger and move into phase 2 of this type of investigation, where we contact a holy person to try to deal with this thing. During the time we were there, Group Member Beckie suffered stomach cramps and Group Member Sherry actually collapsed onto the floor in a heap. This is a very real demonic entity, and we WILL get it GONE! IF this is what it LOOKS like, we'll have our hands full. I'll be going back to the home today to try to either disprove/explain the photo, or to validate it.

 Several < 63> EVP's were captured during this investigation. I'll post a few here for you.

 " Problem is you probably don't see me. Take a look "

  " People! Don't ask for trouble! "   " How's the boy? "

  " That's the ticket!. Hello ? "

  " Try to take my picture now "

 " Love me. Love you. Take picture in here"

  " Don't do that! Be practical! "

  " NOT Keith, NOT Butch "

 This one is incredible!

" Bend every rule. Hey.. every boy deserves a girl and happiness. And that's my sermon. Excuse me. He's a sweety, girl! "

 A followup investigation showed this interesting photo. All people < living> were accouted for. A very interesting "orb" and something a little strange in the mirror!

A shadowy figure looks back at us!

 

A closeup of the figure:

We're hiring a professional for this one. I'll keep you posted!

 I've been "persuaded" to post some of the evp's we captured from the " demon" episode. I'm a bit reluctant, but I'll post a few here. I'll say up front that these are ... a bit " different" than our usual evp's, in that they are a BIT scary. Brave persons can listen, but be warned: these are NOT for the timid or feint of heart. I'll not "translate"... go with your OWN impressions.

 

 

 

 

              RETURN TO SLICK, OK

 

On Friday, April 3rd, we'll be returning to Slick, OK for a repeat investigation of this grand old school.  Because of the incredible number of EVP's gathered during the first investigation, I felt a more thorough investigation was warranted.

 

This great old high school never fails to deliver! The temperature was great < around 61 degrees> and the sky was clear. The group met at a small store in town and proceeded to the school building. This place just LOOKS like a great place for a haunting! I would encourage any and all to make the trip to Slick, OK for just this one great building.

 

As we moved forward into the structure, strange noises were heard, shadow’s seen, and a high lilting laugh from what sounded like a young lady was heard. Several evp’s were captured < over 40 > and some very interesting photo’s were taken. I’ll just let them “speak for themselves”.

    " Don't worry, Sis. "

 " Thank you < group member>You're welcome < male voice >

 " BLESS me! "

 " Help me "

    " what's going on here? "

   " But everyone else is angry "

  " I live here "

   " Sweet Erica "

 " A shortcut to freedom ! "

  " I can hear voices "

And 44 others! This place was PACKED with unseen guests !

Here's a sample of what we found there :

This was very interesting as well. A trailer just outside the school  showed this remarkable mist. It actually looks as if it's inside AND outside the trailer.

Welcome to Slick High.. a VERY haunted place!

Sapulpa Historical Society

Museum

In all of our travels, we have seldom come across a location as lovely and so well organized as the Sapulpa Historical Society Museum. These 3 floors of history, so well preserved and tastefully presented, took my whole group on a trip through time. I just can’t say enough about this wonderful tribute to a grand community.

 

Several historical society members joined us in this investigation, ranging from total skeptics to true believers. I welcomed them all as we prepared to look into possible paranormal activity in this historical site. Many of the people there told stories of how this was once a grand hotel, full of activity and life. Now we needed to discover for ourselves how many of those that had passed were still here.

 

During the course of the investigation several interesting events took place. Here are a few of those events:

 

A scent of perfume, very localized, was noticed on the 2nd floor. No scent like it were found anywhere else in the building.

 

Two of my investigators were on the 3rd floor, making there way towards the banquet hall. In passing by a room just to the left of the banquet hall, both investigators noted an oddly placed mannequin sitting on a sofa there. A woman in period dress with dark hair. Neither placed a lot of importance to it, as several mannequins were placed throughout the building.  After leaving the banquet hall, both noted that the “mannequin” had disappeared, leaving both group members scratching there heads!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A KII meter was placed upon a table in the banquet room, and the lights on it began to light up. Questions were asked and replies were given in the form of flashing lights on the KII. We captured this on video.

 A second effort was made using the KII meter in the banquet hall. It was placed on a small stage by a piano. We asked any spirits there to light up the lights for us, and this did happen. At this time, we also took some digital photo’s of the event, and low and behold, another “orb” is seen hovering over the KII. More coincidence, I guess….

A group member was chasing an EMF reading around a table on the first floor. It would spike but then seemed to “move” about the room. We captured this event in a photo. It shows Byran moving around the table and a large “orb” just next to him. Was it coincidence? Maybe…

 

 

 

 

Dozens of good EVP’s were also captured on digital recorders. I’ll share some here :

  I'm here right behind you!

Aren't you hunting ghosts?

Ghosts? Bummer! A spook house!

 

We're in heaven.

I love Sa Pul Pa Museum!

B.F. Slocum

Ghosts? Obviously not! Secret!

Friendly ghosts. But I WANT to play! < child's voice>

We're goin' right through ya'! Can't really touch me !

Ya'll can get a chill bump!

 

 

 

In conclusion, I can state positively that the Sapulpa Historical Society Museum is indeed haunted < pleasantly>, and NO negative energy’s were found there.

 

 A Bordello in Sapulpa

 

In the heart of Sapulpa, OK, there was once a “ Bordello”.. a house of prostitution. Apparently, a lot of “activity” is still going on there.. The evening was perfect for a hunt, and we made the most of it. All members were present and did an outstanding job. Though the area was relatively small, each little room had it’s own sink, with a community bath just down the hall. Shadows were seen, noises were heard, and dozens of evp’s captured. We even got what LOOKS to be an ORB ORGY as well as a curious face peering from between a crack in a doorway. I’ll let the photo’s and evp’s speak for themselves.

   

" I know Tulsa "

 

" I no longer get depressed < noise> and that's good! "

" I don't think so, but I really don't know"

 " Madge... she's my cheap whore "

" Merry Christmas! Come again ! "

A few photo's were rather interesting... this one is a what appears to be a " cluster" of Orbs. I have never seen this before. A simple dust orb is below the cluster. The cluster looks like an orb orgy!

A close-up of the clustered orbs,

In a small room, we kept seeing a " shadow" figure peering through a doorway. I think we actually caught this in a photo. Here's the original.

Here's an enlarged view,,,,

 Several other orbs were seen, and 80% were dust, but a few were a bit more interesting, giving off their own light and found in interesting places.

With the incredible number of EVP's gathered, plus the shadowy figure captured in a photo, we have to say that this little whore house is VERY HAUNTED. No negative energies were found here.

                 A Trip to Louisiana

This was our first trip outside of Oklahoma. A wonderful lady I met at the newspaper office told me such a great story about their home in Livingston, La, that I HAD to make this trip to see it for myself. The reports were of apparitions of a small child, an Indian girl, and other apparitions got my curiosity going. Other reported activity there were footsteps, voices, scratching noices along an wall, and an overall feeling of being watched, general neagative feelings, and cabinet doors opening on their own. We made the trip to the home after a stop in New Orleans, where we got some great evp's from the large above ground cemetery's there, which I'll post later in the evp area.

The weather was perfect for a hunt, with storms all around us, lightning and thunder close by. The rain was light but steady. We set up the equipment in the reported "hot spots" of the home, did 3 evp sessions < one remote>, and took a LOT of photo's. Here's what we found there.

 

" Ya'll will come to see me "

We'll be right here when you come back "

Talk with you? Rather not talk with "

" You've got a new boyfriend " < the lady living there HAD a new boyfriend>

 < this was TOO cool! A voice says " get the door" BEFORE the doorbell rings!>

Some photo's we got are shown below.

 

Closeup of this odd light

I'd just asked any spirits present to come as close as possible to the meter I had in my hand. A reading of 5.4 on the Gause meter occured as this orb is seen right on top of my meter!

This home did not appear to be haunted, technically, BUT with the great number of EVP's captured, I'll say the home IS paranormally active!

Return to Pleasant Porter School

 

With the aid of O.K.P.R.I. , we launched a thorough reinvestigation of this fantastic school in west Tulsa. From the onset, we all knew this was going to be a great experience for all of us. Once again, the school did NOT disappoint us. The weather was warm… hot even. Inside, the building was wrapped in shadows that sometimes “moved”. Both teams had experiences over and over of shadow movement, faces seen in windows, loud noises, growls, whispers, flashes of unexplained light, and the ever present feeling that we were being watched.  

The O.K.P.R.I. team set up a DVR system, but was not able to catch anything on it. Digital cams proved more fruitful, and some good shots were captured by both teams.

 

EVP’s were EVERYwhere… many audible to our own ears and dozens captured on our recorders.

" Paco... Don't listen to'im.. I can see! "

" Regina! I love you tonight! For Regina! "

" She left...  Nooooo! "

" All that in technology "

" You gonna' go to Tulsa? My town! "

" Ha ha... Cops will take you awayyyyy ! "

" Guest people "

Special thanks to the O.K.P.R.I. team for making it a successful hunt!

 

 

 A Bar in Sapulpa

 

 

In the heart of Sapulpa is a small bar, run by a super nice fellow that often wondered if what was seen and heard in his establishment was only his imagination playing tricks on him or if this building was truly haunted.. Others had reported “odd” things going on as well, so an investigation was planned to see if what was reported was actually occurring or if it was only the result of a few too many beers….

The building itself was a very old building, and the place had been a bar since the ‘60’s. Prior to this, it had had several other owners with various businesses’ there.

 S.P.O.OK had the pleasure of doing this investigation, and we were NOT disappointed ! This place was very interesting and full of surprises. See for yourself.

" I was a little late for the doctor "

" It's awesome, hippy "

" Somebody died in here "

" Have a ghost in mind? No. He's not dead "

And then there's always the party pooper...

" Go to hell "

In an upstairs "loft" we placed an infrared camera with motion detector settings on a small wooden box over an air conditioner unit to attempt to catch anything moving. We got a lot more than we expected!

Here's what the loft area looked like before any activity was captured:

This is what we captured

Note the " camera flash" that signified " motion" in the area that was CLOSE to the cam giving us a lot of whiteout. In the lower corner, however, something was holding up a " picture" or a " mirror" that showed what appears to be a wooden framed photo/mirror object. We made every effort to debunk this one. NO item similar in any way was found in the loft OR anywhere ELSE in the bar! The cam itself was NOT moved during the entire evening from it's location. If one looks closely, it appears to have translucent " fingers" holding the " object" up directly in front of the camera.

Here's an enlarged view of the " object".

 

With this evidence, plus all the < 45 > evp's gathered, plus the video evidence showing orb movement and a shadow figure moving across the area, we have to say that THIS PLACE is HAUNTED!

          A Sign Shop in Sapulpa

This was a VERY interesting location! The owner was incredibly helpful and courteous! His entire family was absolutely wonderful! On the 4th of July, we did a limited investigation, as many of the group members were celebrating the 4th with friends and family

Reported activity included voices, footsteps, feelings or being watched, full bodied apparitions, and orb activity. The owner had even captured a few orbs on camera.

 

We set up in the main dining area < this is a combination donut shop, sign shop, and computer repair business> and began with an EMF sweep, a mapping of the 2 story building, and preliminary photo’s/video. From the onset, we had several personal experiences, including shadow movement, and a 9 volt battery carried by an investigator in her front pocket that for some inexplicable reason became so hot, it had to be removed! We all handled the battery and felt the intense heat it had… hot enough to burn a finger!< the investigator has since been nick named “ hot pants” and “ hot pockets” >

 

 This photo show's Jessica pointing to where she heard a noise and saw movement. Lo and behold, and Orb shows up in the photo!

 

 This orb shown above was accompanied by a very high emf spike around the chair.

This photo was taken in an area of high emf spikes. We see a fuse box on the wall, BUT.. these spikes were MOVING. We chased them all around the room. Orbs occur  in this area as well.

 

 The orb seen here was captured on digital cam by Joe.

 EVP sessions were conducted in several locations on both the upper and lower floors. We got some pretty amazing replies to our questions!

   get that out of here! Quit that!

1920 < asked for a year>

It is not blinking < reference to KII we had asked it to approach >

 we've been together forever, see?

 Walter < asked for a name >

  Happy Birthday! < Owners son was having a birthday the following weekend>

 <Male voice>Join with me! <then>This is fun! No, it's NOT fun < two female voices>

 Photo evidence included some orbs in coincidental places and some “ faces ” that appeared in an area where nothing was seen later.

I admit this is NOT a great photo, BUT... there was absolutely NOTHING in the right hand area of this framing. SOMEthing was caught in this photo, however. I'll let you decide.
