  Coming Soon-- Revisit the Crystal  and  An Investigation in Valley Park Missouri

   Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Valley of Saint Louis, Orient of Missouri
    Reported Claims of activity: Full bodied apparitions, voices, footsteps and many many stories.



    Needless to say, this was a great honor to have the members let us do an investigation at the facility. The history of the building is pretty straight. It was built for the Scottish Rite. The building was finished in the early 1920's. It is over 200,000 square feet with too many rooms and hallways to count. The auditorium is massive with a stage larger than the Fox Theater. Tom ,Nelson and Adam went for a pre-interview and tour the Thursday prior to the investigation. Well we were on the stage Nelson saw a shadow figure move from right to left on the side of the stage. Getting of of the elevator on one of the floors Tom had seen a shadow move away from us. Nelson and Adam both got the cob web feeling. Nelson on his head and neck and Adam up and down one of his arms. The feeling had lasted until after the tour. The members we had spoken to had all had experiences to share about the place. Saturday night we set up and right started experiencing things. Every time one of us would walk into the auditorium the pipes would bang non stop. The members had informed us that in all the years they had been there they had never heard banging like that night. Everyone heard different thing in there from talking to whispering to footsteps. The third floor seemed to be very active. There was a room we opened the door to in the beginning of the investigation and every time we would go by it, it would be shut and locked. This happened about 4 times. It seemed like everywhere we went we were chasing shadows or noises. Chuck came out of the auditorium with a red poke mark between his eyes. Nelson got touched on the top of his head in what was once used as the morgue. Brandy and Christina had a visitor on the fifth floor that they were unaware of.  We took some great photos that night and got some great EVP's. It was a fantastic investigation and we found the place to be just as haunted as the members claimed it was. Here is a link to the Scottish Rite web site.

 Private Residence  Desoto Missouri  #1
  Reported claims of activity :
   Objects moving and feelings of being watched

  
The house was built in 1923 and added to in 1960. It was renovated in 2009. It is a 4 room house so it is very easy to access every spot quickly. We set up and began to investigate. Right away we started hearing footsteps in the kitchen. The  entire evening everyone heard out of place noises. Tom at one point had started to feel faint and sick and it lasted for about ten minutes. A couple of investigators had seen shadows. One person had felt like they had been touched. It was a pretty small place and we did not get any photo evidence but we did get several EVP's. Is it haunted? We cant say. Is there something there? We have both male and female voices so we think so. We think who ever it is is just letting the residence know that they are around.

 Private Residence  Desoto Missouri  #2
   Reported claims of activity :
  Footsteps on the stairs, shadows, voices and whispers, feelings of being watched.

   
The house was built in 1935 as a school house. We do not know when it was turned into a home. One of the things we noticed right away was that all throughout the house were floating emf lines. Every room had at least one. We could take an emf detector or a K-II meter  and follow a line and when you moved outside of the line the instruments would go down to zero. The basement had a bedroom in it that we focused on. Adam and Nelson had both heard voices at sperate times in the laundry room so we decided to set up a video camera there. We did catch some audio on it early in the evening that we think told us how the rest of the investigation was going to go. In the back room of the house Tom had the tri-field meter spike all the way once. Tom had in the basement the tempter drop and rise 8 degrees in a matter of about 30 seconds. Nelson and Chuck were in the bedroom downstairs and Nelson saw a black wave over part of the room. When we were done we did not think we caught anything but it always comes down to evidence review. We got a few photos shooting down the stairs that look like a mass.They are on the photo album page 3.  Also a shadow of a person in the bedroom. Several EVP's as well. We think this location is haunted. We also think it gave us its level of cooperation right away.

Private Residence Troy Missouri
 Reported claims of activity :
 Out of place noises, whispering, feelings of being watched, people being touched, apparitions.

 
The House was built in 1996 over what was once an old barn or garage. The floors of the house were built with old lumber from other locations. This house is also deep in Quiver River State Park. A very wooded area. The fog this evening was too thick to do any outside investigating. We all had experienced things that evening. Right away Tom and Nelson were upstairs in the master bedroom, people downstairs were hearing footsteps coming from different parts or the upstairs as well as the sound of a gate closing. Adam and Chuck were in the master bedroom having a productive K-II session and upon leaving the room heard a disembodied voice say " Back Off ". That happened twice to them. We caught those on audio recorders as well as Hi8 audio.Tom and Nelson were in the same room again and Nelson heard a voice say " Yes Yes ". It did not show up on the recorder he had with him but it did show up on the Hi8 outside of the room and another recorder in a bedroom on the other side of the upstairs. Tom had seen a shadow shortly after this voice was heard. Adam and Chuck had both said they were touched in the master bedroom that evening. Nelson had what felt like  hair drag across his face from right to left then left to right in one of the kids rooms. At the end of the evening Adam and Chuck were in the bathroom that is connected to the master bedroom and we having a K-II session, The lights would jump to red every time someone would say the word " Nazi ". We think that might have to do with some things that were brought to the house that belonged to a recently deceased woman who had worked in a concentration camp during the war. We did leave with alot of audio evidence and a few photos. Speaking with the homeowners we find the place is still very active and we gave them our recommendation on how to handle it. We do believe the house is haunted.

Blanca's Corner  DuQuoin Illinois
 Reported claims of activity :
 Apparition, shadow person, whispering, growling, burning smells and the smell of whiskey,items falling off of shelves,cold spots.

  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.

Private Residence  Union Missouri
 Reported claims of activity :
 Apparition walking down the hallway, footsteps on the basement stairs, the basement door knob rattling,black mass or shadow in one bedroom, and a voice whispering one of the residents name while she was sleeping.
 
  This was a great case. The first time we went  the investigation was cut rather short but with the K-II responding to questions a few EVP's  we decided we needed a full investigation. We went back a couple of weeks later with an eight person crew. Upon entering the house several people noticed things happening right away. With no visible explanation, we set up throughout the house and began to investigate. During the night we once again had several positive K-II sessions.The basement  turned out to be very active with allot of unexplained noises. Tom and another investigator were both poked in the back. We had a digital recorder and a camera both with total battery drain. The smell of fresh flowers or popery was also experienced in the basement. The sound of silverware rattling was heard in the kitchen. Almost everyone on the investigation had some sort of personal experience. After a long eight hours we left to review the evidence.
 Several class A  EVP's  were captured. A reflection in a window when no person was in front of it was on a photo. A face on the front porch also on camera. A few stills were also pulled from the different video cameras that reveled  several faces.
 Tom and Nelson went back to show the clients the evidence and upon arrival the house was very active still. The clients showed us several pictures they had taken since we had been there. One picture  was of a dog sitting on the couch.The dog was see through.A couple of other pictures was that of a little girl and once again see through. Nelson, before leaving the house had seen the little girl dart into one of the bedrooms.
 The home owners were told our opinion on how they could handle their situation.
  It is in our opinion that the house in Union is very haunted.
 Pictures can be reviewed with the link below. EVP's  are on the EVP page.

Private Residence-Former Business  The Crystal Grill, St Louis Missouri
 Reported claims of activity :
 Out of place odors, footsteps, tapping, clinking sounds apparitions.
 
 
The Crystal Grill is a very interesting location. It sits directly across from produce row in old north city. It closed its doors to the public in 2008. The original building was built in 1859 and was a saloon with boarding rooms upstairs. The best we could do with the history is with the owner who's family has owned it for the past 60 years. They able to give us the names of several people that had died on the location within that period. Before that we do not know. This was a very large place,18,000 square feet and tons of rooms. Right away Nelson had noticed his watch had stopped at 7:32 and the owners had pointed out that the clock in their living room had stopped at the exact same time. Other things started to happen shortly there after. At one point Brandy and Christina were in the pie room and Brandy thought someone was standing next to her and it was not Christina. She found out later that it was in the spot where someone had died. In the same room Chuck and Adam had felt like something had brushed between them. Also in the pie room, Tom had felt like someone had touched the top of his head. Not all the activity was in the pie room. Nelson's camera battery had went dead in the kitchen of the Grill. When we reviewed the evidence we found allot of EVP's and several pictures we could not explain.
 It is in our opinion that the entire location of the Crystal Grill is haunted.
 This location is also for sale.
