Another great case Blanca's Corner is a resale shop in the heart of DuQuoin. The building was built in 1901 with a hotel on the top floor. The top being a total of 17 rooms and looking original. Around 5000 square feet and the same downstairs. The hotel part is undergoing mass renovations. It is like a maze in the dark. We had a few personal experiences right away. During the set up Nelson heard loud footsteps in the front upstairs. Tom had the mini dv shut off after turning to a blue screen and at the same time the K-II spiked to red a few times. Everyone heard sounds that did not belong at one point or another that evening.
Late in the night Blanca went upstairs with a few of the investigators. They were having a K-II session and it would only respond to Blanca. We had a ton of EVP's but none during the K-II sessions. We did not capture anything questionable by way of photos but we did get something on film we can not explain. We also captured a nice EVP on video. Needless to say we do think the entire building is haunted. We had almost as many EVP's downstairs as we did upstairs. Adam had what felt like something standing on his foot in the side room to the shop. At the same time he and Nelson heard a voice they could not explain. They caught that on audio. We do feel the place will remain active until the renovations are complete. We also have to factor in that it is believed that spirits attach themselves to items they love. Blanca's Corner is full of once loved stuff. Check it out, its a great place.
PHOTOS
This is a video that was shot the first time we were there. It was shot with a HI8 and was only 3 feet up. We are pretty sure that what passes by is one of the people that was there. But not 100% sure.
This is a video shot in the back hallway and you can hear someone who was there besides Adam and Christina.

Blanca's Corner 2nd time DuQuoin Illinois
This building is still under renovation which makes it an ideal place to investigate. We set up and began. We tried to get some of the same things to happen that we experienced last time. We all heard footsteps upstairs when everyone was downstairs.Several time we also heard footsteps on the front stairs as well. Shane had seen a shadow and had the K-II in the red as he walked after it. Several times we heard voices. We were unable to recreate the first video we took there, so that still leaves us wondering what it actually was. We did capture on DVR a video that we can not explain. In one of the back rooms upstairs right after Shane and Christina walked through, what we thought was dust swirls up. It looks like a snow globe. We checked the camera and wires and there was no dust on it what so ever. So we did come out with some EVP's and the knowledge that the maze of rooms upstairs is still active. You still get that creepy feeling when you enter the building. So visit Blanca's when you are in DuQuoin. This is the Facebook link Blanca's Corner
