Everyday Paranormal has posted another video of an investigation of a home in Fredericksburg Texas. Several very impressive EVPs and a some very interesting photos.
Another outstanding video from Everyday Paranormal. This group is doing some really intriguing research. We here at Spectral Review have watched a lot of posted video and we definitely have not seen anything better than what we have seen from Everyday Paranormal.
If you haven’t seen their investigation of the Freeman Coliseum you should check it out.
The founder of Everyday Paranormal is Brad Klinge who has participated in our “People in Paranormal Research” series.

Preston Castle located in Ione California recently was investigated by the Ghost Trackers Paranormal Research Group.
The Preston School of Industry was established by the California State Legislature as a progressive action toward rehabilitating, rather than simply imprisoning, juvenile offenders. The building was built in 1890. First residents were housed in 1894. The Preston School of Industry remained open until 1960 when new facilities for the school were completed. The building remained vacant and fading into disrepair until September 10, 2001 when The Preston Castle Foundation received a fifty-year lease for the property.

The Ledger-Dispatch has an article on the investigation:
The Ghost Trackers’ Sharon Leong, and her sister, Anne, felt there was still a good chance they’d identify paranormal activity once they took their recordings and video back home and examined them with technology that could amplify and break down the data. “A lot of times you don’t hear anything at all when you’re recording audio,” Sharon said. “And then when you turn it up on your computer you hear what are sometimes clearly voices too faint for the human ear. That happened to us a couple of months ago when we were at Alcatraz Island. We asked a question and didn’t hear anything; but then once we got home and turned the audio up, we heard a very frightening response.”
Several days after her trip to Preston Castle, Anne realized she might have been standing near enough to the group of people who heard the humming to have caught it on her camcorder. “It’s there,” she confirmed to the Ledger Dispatch. “The humming was faint and I had to use the headphones to hear it, but it was definitely a man humming.”

Everyday Paranormal is planning an overnight investigation and stay at the Myrtles Plantation and inviting you along!! The event is to take place on Sunday, May 18th, 2008.
The Myrtles Plantation is well-known for being one of the most haunted locations in the world. Everyday Paranormal recently conducted an investigation here, and we were able to capture some of the most astounding paranormal evidence ever recorded at the plantation. We are actually still in the process of reviewing all of the evidence gathered, but as of now we have unprecedented video and audio footage (not to mention a truckload of personal experiences from that night). What made that night so unique was that we allowed people from the general public to participate in the investigation, and when the investigation was over, we all stayed the night there in one of the eleven rooms. The experience was FANTASTIC–so much so that Everyday Paranormal has decided to make this a regular event, and we want to let YOU drive the investigations.
Spots will go fast so you better get all of the details and sign-up soon!!!
Your favorite editor at Spectral Review and his beautiful wife will be attending this fabulous event. We can’t wait to see you there!

As most of you know the Ghost Hunters investigated in Wright-Patterson Air Force base for an episode of season four which starts on March 5th.
Stars and Stripes has another article that gives some of the claims of paranormal activity that prompted the Air Force to contact TAPS.
The problem was, the woman wasn’t supposed to be there, in an empty office that Castle had just locked up for the night.
And there was something else wrong. “She was three-dimensional, but the best way I can describe it, was she looked like a mannequin,” Castle said. “Almost waxy. It was just so weird. It scared me. I’ve never seen anyone like that.”
Castle, 30, who had slipped behind the wheel of her car in the abandoned parking lot of Building 70 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, could not take her eyes off the woman.
“I must have stared at her for at least five seconds,” Castle said. “I kept thinking, ‘Am I really seeing this?’ My brain kept trying to process it.”
We look forward to this season of Ghost Hunters. Jason and Grant have been promising on their Beyond Reality Radio Show that this season is packed with the best evidence they have ever gathered. Next week we get to see some of it.
You can listen to the Beyond Reality archives.

The Mahoning Valley Paranormal Society recently investigated the Opera House in Cortland, Ohio.
The Tribune-Chronicle has the article:
Alone, inside the old Opera House, a group of people dressed in black lock themselves in for the night. They creep through it, stepping on creaking floorboards, walking past yellowed photographs. They hold blinking electronics, flashlights, camcorders and microphones.
And all the while they are searching, listening for Solomon Kline, whom — if the legends are true — hasn’t left the building in more than 100 years.
All-in-all, it’s just another Friday night for the Mahoning Valley Paranormal Society.
“I’ve heard ever since high school that the Opera House was haunted,” said co-founding member Mike Rohrbaugh, 22, of Warren. “It’s like fishing. Sometimes you find a hot spot. Sometimes you don’t.”

Everyday Paranormal has posted a video on their recent investigation of the Freeman Coliseum located in San Antonio Texas.
Recently the founder of Everyday Paranormal Brad Klinge participated in our “People in Paranormal Research” article series. In that article he mentioned a video he captured many years ago at Gettysburg and he shows a glimpse of it at the beginning of the Freeman Coliseum video.
Really awesome stuff from Brad and his group. Several EVPs clearly can be heard in the video. Easily the best paranormal video we have seen posted on YouTube.

Paul Campbell who is a member of Ghost Hunters Scotland will be investigating the historic Tulloch Castle Hotel in Dingwall, Scotland. He will be accompanied by three other investigators on the June 7th, 2008 investigation.
The hotel is famous for Room 8 which is haunted by “The Green Lady” spirit. The Highland News has the article:
Anne MacDonald, manager at Tulloch Castle Hotel, said: “I’m not a coward and I don’t scare easily but I wouldn’t sleep in room 8 for love nor money. The room has quite a reputation and we have people coming from all over to stay in it.
“It doesn’t matter how much heating you have on, but when you go along that corridor there is always a chill, summer or winter. People frequently say that someone had been knocking at their door but when they looked there was nobody there. And we don’t tell guests about Room 8 until they leave because we don’t want them to make them anxious.
“Strange things also occur in room 12 such as books falling down for no reason at all. There’s definitely something in that part of the hotel and the longer I work here the more convinced I become of it.”
It must be a long wait to get a room at the hotel since it’s four months off. 
We look forward to hearing and seeing any evidence they are able to find.

Update: The first investigation is sold out. Any tickets for subsequent ones are going fast. Read details at the Hartlepool Mail.
Paranormal group Old Haunts located in Hartlepool, which is located in Northeast England on the North Sea coast, is seeking people to join them on a few upcoming ghost hunts.
The Hartepool Mail has an article about the events:
She added: “I’ve seen ghosts before and there are things I’ve heard about in the Borough Hall, which I want to investigate further.
“I’ve heard stories and things about people being spooked in there. I want to see how haunted this area really is.”
People who go along to the overnight vigils will be able to take part in seances, table-tipping, where participants sit around a table, place their hands on top and feel a spiritual sensation, and the ancient art of dowsing, which uses rods or crystals to locate spirit activity.
Borough Hall, in Middlegate, on March 8, the Town Hall Theatre, in Raby Road, on April 12, and Peterlee Community Centre, in Eden Lane, on June 13.
Spaces are limited and anyone wanting further details or tickets can contact Andrea on 07711 994550 or Sheila on 07738 873275.
If you live in the UK near Hartlepool, this is a nice way to experience an investigation in some spooky places for just a fee of a ticket. It looks to be in the style of Most Haunted with the seance and table-tipping routines. But it could be a fun experience. Let us know if you go!

The NewsLeader.com has a very good article about three paranormal groups who work in the Augusta and Rockingham counties of Virginia.
Puffenbarger is a member of the Supernatural Investigators of Virginia. Founded in May 2007 by Tracey and Dan Burnett, the group concentrates on cemeteries and battlefields in their search for apparitions and audio phenomena.
Maybe it has something to do with the area’s rich Civil War history, but Augusta and Rockingham counties boast three paranormal research groups.
Seibel’s group, the Shenandoah Valley Paranormal Society, began in August 2005. Having been interested in the paranormal since he was a child, Seibel joined a group in Richmond before they folded in 2003.
In a little more than two years, Seibel and his members have investigated Braley’s Pond, McDowell Battlefield, Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery, Gettysburg and Old Town Harpers Ferry, among others.
The Waynesboro Paranormal Research Group, also founded in August 2005, does their fair share of scouting trips to places like the Buckhorn Inn and historic homes.

The Burlington Free Press (Vermont) has an article about the paranormal group called Paranormal Investigators of New England (PI-NE).
More than 130 years ago, miners blasted 5 miles through the Berkshires to connect Boston with western Massachusetts via rail. The tunnel became known as the “Bloody Pit,” where nearly 200 men died in nitroglycerine explosions and cave-ins. The miners believed American Indians cursed the mountain above.
The hauntings were said to have begun during construction. Men saw phantoms and heard voices, and a supervisor was allegedly killed by the ghost of a dead worker.
Which is why Stewart and Lorefice paid the tunnel a visit.
“That tunnel — that was a very unique place,” Lorefice said. “It’s a different kind of fear.”
Stewart, Lorefice and three other members of Paranormal Investigators of New England shared tales of the Hoosac Tunnel and other haunted sites at the Brownell Library in Essex Junction on Wednesday.
The article calls the group “hobbyists” which I guess is a correct term since most paranormal investigators do not do this work for a living. Generally because they don’t accept payment from clients. But it also confers the feeling that these people are somehow less than professional. We have heard from too many paranormal investigators who are much more than hobbyists.
