Before the investigation:
We’re hitting Albert County tonight, to investigate the Albert County Museum on a formal basis. I’m really hoping this one proves to have some solid evidence. Unfortunately Global News is unable to do the segment they had planned for us this trip, but nonetheless still exciting. It’s two in the afternoon and I’m already sleepy, so an energy drink is definitely necessary, haha. It’s kind of a rainy and gloomy day, but it adds to the atmosphere (:
Day After Investigation:
Well last night as interesting to say the absolute least! We headed out around 6:30, because theAlbert County
Museum
Donald, the manager, was there waiting for us and had the appropriate buildings unlocked for us. While Nick and Charm set up their equipment, we all walked through the buildings (We had access to the Courthouse and the Gaol) and got a god feel of the place, & to see if any feelings came up, & our medium gave us her thoughts. There are three cells in the Gaol, the first one is a debtor’s cell, back in the day if you owed money to the government and couldn’t pay it, you did jail time to pay it off. The middle cell is “Death row” or “Solitary confinement” and the last cell is where regular criminals were. We spent a couple hours getting comfortable & talking about some of the history with Donald. And it took me a while to get used to all the mannequins hanging out around the museum, every now and again I’d come around a corner and be startled thinking someone was standing there, haha. The whole place had something called a “funhouse effect” Which means the floors were slightly off balance, which gave you an off balance and sometimes even a dizzy feeling. But I was certain the air in the farthest cell, where most who committed regular crimes stayed, was heavy. Like not so much that you couldn’t breathe, but the air was definitely heavier and denser. We were also informed that the stairs leading to the upstairs has 13 steps, for those who are superstitious. We took the time for those who couldn’t attend our history tour to be able to check out the artifacts upstairs. Nick said he kept getting a weird feeling in the same spot upstairs, even when he’d left that spot and came back again.
We then went lights out.
Myself, and two other girls on the team went to the courthouse first while the other team started off in the gaol. We first set up in the deliberation room, and had an EVP session. After only hearing a few small bumps and creaks, which could be from the fact that it was windy out and the building is over 100 years old, we moved out to the main area. We tried provoking a little bit, since back then women weren’t allowed downstairs in the main area to watch a trial, they had to be upstairs. So we sat downstairs and kinda played with the fact we were women sitting in a forbidden area. When we didn’t have anything amazing happen, (not sure what could have picked up on the audio yet though.) we moved upstairs for a bit. Other than one girls flashlight kinda flickering a few times, we didn’t really have any activity in the Courthouse, so after about an hour or so, we left to take a break. When we did, we met up with the other group who was coincidentally also taking a break. While we hadn’t had any activity, they had plenty! We were told they had some activity with a flashlight, where it would turn on and off almost to command; and they had used a pendulum which had given them some results. Also a girl in the group, Rebecca, had seen a bed shake in one of the other rooms away from the cells. So, my group proceeded into the gaol as well. There are 3 cells in there, so while the rest of the group was in the debtor’s cell, a team mate and I tried the one that was considered “death row” or “solitary confinement”. We didn’t have any recorders with us, so we were mostly going for personal experiences at this point. We sat there for a bit and talked out loud to whatever we thought could be there. The other group told us that at the same time, they were getting more results in the debtor’s cell with the pendulum. We then moved to the cell where Tom Collin’s spent some of his time before being moved to the solitary confinement cell. We each laid on one of the two cots that were in there, and just waited to see if we could hear anything. I was pretty tired, so I’ll admit I started to doze off, when all of a sudden I felt like a flick on my leg, hard enough that it made me jump! Almost like “Wake up!” So, that wasn’t a big deal, but I took the hint and sat up. Our medium came and joined us, and had the pendulum with her to show us. So she sat with us, and held the pendulum as still as she could. She said out loud “Spirit if you are here with us, can you make your presence known by making the pendulum spin.” Well sure enough, within a few seconds, the pendulum began to spin! And it spun hard enough that we knew it wasn’t her moving it because she would have to be moving her hand in such an obvious way to make it move like that. Then the other tried it, and had the same results. Well me being the skeptic that I am, I had to try it myself, even though I had just witnessed it for the other two. I took the pendulum and even braced my elbow on my knee to make sure for myself I wasn’t shaking it or anything. So, again the medium said, “Spirit if you are still here with us, can you make the pendulum spin.” And once again, the pendulum started to spin, and I could even feel the pull of it spinning in the end of the chain I had between my fingers. Me of course still trying to believe this was happening said out loud “If that’s REALLY you, make it stop.” And to my amazement, it slowed itself to a complete stop! That gave me chills! After that, it was time to wind things down as it was getting late. Nick did some last minute work upstairs while we all chatted downstairs. Right as we were beginning to get ready to go, the thunder and lightning started big time. There were bits of it all night but now it was bright and LOUD. Thunderstorms are said to make the air better for ghosts to manifest themselves because of the energy in the air. So it kinda sucked that it didn’t start up really bad till it was late and we were all getting ready to go. On the drive home me and a couple of the girls had a good chat about our experiences (:
I can’t thank Donald enough for his generosity and patience, cause the whole time we were doing our investigation he kinda just hung out, which I would assume would be quite boring! And he had to be there quite late at night when the museum wasn’t even open. And also for allowing us to talk about our time there and our experiences (: We are now going over all the evidence and I will post the findings once we get through it all. Thanks to everyone for reading (:
