Claims of Activity
The location is a family owned bar built in the 1950's.
A vague history is known of the bar, but the client was able to tell that a death occurred in the parking lot years ago, and
the husband of the owner passed away 8 years ago. Ever since the husband passed away, the client states that the activity
has increased. Listed below are the claims of activity.
-Conversation taking place and music playing when no one else is in the bar but the owners.
-Random banging noises throughout the bar.-
Two employees claim to have been touched at the bar area. They stated they could feel the pressure of the hand, turned around,
and no one was there.
-Dishes
falling off racks for no apparent reason.- Freezer doors opening and
shutting on own.
-They all have encountered human shaped black
shadows near the stage where the band plays when no one else is present.
-Clients
claim that a realtor had taken a picture of the inside of the bar while no one was present. Clients claims that the picture
had people sitting in the chairs, dressed in what appeared to be 1930's garb. They also said it appeared as though a band
was playing on the stage. iGHOST has not seen this photo. Upon asking for photo for examination, clients state that they
can not find photo at this time.
-Client claims that she has seen a black shadow wearing a cowboy hat sitting in the women's bathroom
stall, only to open door and no one is there.
Base Readings
EMF reading in bar area was 1.5-2.5
with average temperature of 75 degreesEMF reading in women's bathroom
1.2 with temperature of 75 degreesEMF reading on stage was 0.5-2.0.
Reading was higher when meters near floor of stage, which suggests some sort of electrical wiring being ran under stage.
Attempting to Debunk Claims
- If anyone walks next to the bar area, a shadow is cast on the stage. The shadow does indeed appear as an anomaly if
you’re not paying attention to the bar, but focused on the stage.
Personal Experiences
-When asking for the presence to make itself be known, the EMF detector starting going off, jumping to a 2.5 from a
0.8. This continued for approximately 3-4 seconds, and then the readings gradually decreased. This is not necessarily indicative
of anything paranormal, but rather just an unusual occurrence.
-During an EVP session, one of the members, as well as the client stated that they heard a reply near the stage, but
could not make out what was said. Both agreed it sounded female.
Evidence collected
-No unusual photographs.
-No
evidence collected from the DVR equipment. At glance, it appeared that a shadow walked across the stage, but we were able
to debunk that after reviewing the rest of the DVR footage. A member was walking across the bar area, casting a shadow on
stage.
-Some unusual footage caught on audio that we were not able to debunk.
Some sort of female mumbling heard during an EVP session. Again, this is not necessarily paranormal in nature.
