Keystone Paranormal was started by former members of Northwest Pennsylvania Hauntings (NWPAH) who had investigated the Knickerbocker last year.

Please read their report. And you can check out their older investigation results too.

You might remember that Paranormal State visited the Knickerbocker Hotel in their first season that first aired in early 2008.

Northern Utah Paranormal Society (N.U.P.S.) recently investigated the Main Theater located in Smithfield Utah.

N.U.P.S. has published their findings:

Jennifer had the most dramatic personal experience of the investigation. While wrapping up for the night she went upstairs into the projection room in order to turn on the house lights. She had no equipment with her due to the fact that we were finished investigating. As she came into the projection room she caught out of the corner of her eye a small girl huddled in the back part of the “closet” closest to the entrance. She continued on to turn on the lights and when it sunk in that she had seen something that should not have been there she quickly turned back, but the form was gone. She described the child as being no more than 7 or 8 years old, she had her knees pulled up to her chin with her head down.

That is quite the personal experience!

Make sure you don’t miss their captured EVPs from this investigation. Some really terrific EVPs. N.U.P.S. also includes some photos taken on the investigation, not necessarily paranormal but giving us an idea on what the building and interior rooms look like.

Earlier this year Lachesis Sight Paranormal Investigation & Research (LSPIR) investigated Rogers Christmas Village. The location is a retail property of five buildings and sells Christmas decorations and gifts. It was opened in the 1980s by Mrs. Margaret “Weenie” Rogers.

Read their documentation of that first investigation.

In this photograph there appears to be a figure seated on the bench looking back at Al and Jan. Though during this time, Al and Jan were the only two team members outside. Everyone else was accounted for. And upon closer inspection of the figure in the picture, the person does not appear to be solid.

Also make sure to listen to their captured EVPs labeled “Rogers Christmas House”.

LSPIR plans a second visit to the village in the future. We mentioned earlier the LSPIR investigation of the Spring Hill Cemetery.

The Garden State Ghost Hunters Society (GSGHS) has published their documentation from a private residence in eastern Pennsylvania. They have visited the home twice and will for a third time.

On their first visit they captured four EVPs. While on their second visit to the home:

Robert Reid arrived first at the client’s house for the reveal to play back the EVP’S, as well as show the light anomalies by the entry door. In reviewing the material the family did not recognize any of the voices nor the lights near the door. As Rob was showing the video of the door to the family; there was a conversation going on upstairs, which could plainly be heard by all in attendance. So the client proceeded upstairs to see if it was a TV but there was nothing on, but the voices were as plain as day and added to the mystery of this location.

GSGHS plans a third visit to the home to try to finalize this investigation to bring some closure to this family. We will update their progress here or you can check their web site for information on all their past, current and future investigations.

Lachesis Sight Paranormal Investigation & Research (LSPIR) this month returned to the Spring Hill Cemetery for a follow on investigation.

LSPIR has made available their documentation of their visit to Spring Hill Cemetery on March 8th.

A Sheriff’s Deputy came into the cemetery three separate times to check on things. The last time the group went over to speak with the officer and his passenger. We stood there for a time talking when all of a sudden something semi sharp and hard poked me in the left side of my lower back. Of course, I yelled out and spun around to find no one there. The rest of the group was in front of me to my left.

Wow.

Make sure you check out the last photo in their report. Hopefully LSPIR will be able to get back there and take another photo to try to determine what is in the image.

Please listen to the captured EVPs from this investigation and others. Sounds like cussing is a bad habit in the spirit world too!

Buckeye State Paranormal & Haunting Investigators (BSPHI) have posted two 2008 investigation case files. Both cases revealed some interesting EVPs.

On January 26th they investigated a private residence and about three weeks later they investigated another private residence on February 16th.

BSPHI does a nice job of documenting their cases. Very informative yet very easy to read and understand what they learned about the property, from it’s history to the evidence they collected. You can also read their results from their 2007 cases.

Everyday Paranormal recently investigated The Boerne Library. The library is located in Boerne, Texas which is about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio.

WOAI.com has an article about the investigation.

The story in Boerne, is that the couple who built the building in the 1800’s, still roams the halls today. That’s what the group of ghost hunters came looking for.

“They would stand around and go, Mr. Dinger we know you’re here somewhere,” said Natalie Morgan of the Boerne Library. “There was just no sound anywhere in the building,” she continued.

But that quiet didn’t last long. As the group stood at the top of the stairwell, their microphone picked up some sound.

“The voice sounded like it came from the first stairwell,” explained Brad Klinge of Everyday Paranormal.

The groups write up on their investigation is available for reading.

Wow.
