Ghost Adventures "Scotty's Castle"


 Death Valley, California.  In 1913 the heat reached 134 degrees.  July 2023 tempers almost broke the record.  Scotty's Castle is in a unique location.  Built in 1920's by Albert Johnson after he was lured there by conman Scotty.  Who told him there was a gold find.  Albert lived there with his wife, Bessie.  Zak wanted to come here since the show started.  Scotty wanted money and Albert said he'd give it to him.  Built a castle in the "most inhospitable place on earth."  Jay tore tendons in his ankle during an investigation.  The Park Ranger takes them through the locked gates.  The land was flooded and Zak calls it an intent to destroy the castle.  Like a mysterious fire in 2021 and no cause was found.  Feels energy at the castle that he can't describe.  This place is charged."  He turned the engine off and looked at the castle and the car started by itself.  He joked that Scotty wants them to leave and he sees the cross on the hill where Death Valley Scotty is buried.  Well my joke was probably in bad taste on Twitter when I said "beam me up Scotty" but then maybe not, as further on in the investigation Zak thought they caught a UFO, was only a Starlink train; but I was foreshadowing, ha! He said there were many accounts of paranormal activity online but no one wanted to speak with them.  Workers left in fear of their lives.  Seen a misty apparition.  Feelings of despair, feel itching or tingling on body.  Some believe the spirits affect you in this way.  Some knocking is heard or a bang.  

Park Ranger Abby tells him about the fire which occurred at night and no one was there.  There wasn't any arson and no power or lightning.  They moved a car, the 1947 Passenger Packard owned by Albert Jackson.  He and Bessie were involved in a car accident where Bessie died.  The death record was sealed and was shown that Bessie died when Albert backed his car on her.  Sergio and Tony Mesa were in the 2015 flood when deer hunting and ended up at the castle.  The water rose and they decided not to risk going into the castle.  The lights were flickering in the rooms.  

Patti Negri joins them.  Something is fed by "it" and into "it" she describes as the worst thing in the world.  A place that resembles a ritualistic place with a six sided star or hexagram used as a talisman for conjuring magic.  It's said to have mind control over people.  She says the castle had to be here as this energy couldn't be elsewhere and could start afire.  Patti proposes a chant to heighten the spiritual energy.  In which they all join in.  Sounded like the onset of gurgling, no other way to describe it.  Patti talks of the negative energy.  A tower building which is also active.  Zak asks what lives here.  Patti pictures him: "I Roger" comes through on the Ovilus.  Zak doesn't think his name is Roger but something else.  "It" comes through on the recorder.  (See below.)

Billy reviewed the boom mic footage.  Voices were heard, a breath is heard and a voice.  Sounded like Aaron.  Was that "it" or "speak"??  Aaron captures a ball of light on the bridge.  Zak gets a thermal photo of something in the doorway.  Looks like something like a dog or creature with a gaping mouth.  He says it's white and there's no heat to it.  Doesn't catch anything in rapid fire photos.  In the room there wasn't anyone in there.  Incredible visual evidence.  Not a human spirit.  

Two responses on the Polterpod one sounds like "it or did"  And "hello."  He sees the three conducting rituals.  A crate where the earth combusted.  Strange phenomena are associated with this.  

At nerve centre Billy shows he caught something on the UV camera used by police forensically.  Took a pic of Zak and looks like a triangular anomaly.  Similar to the one he caught behind the door with the gaping mouth.  

They use the SLS.  Zak asks if Bessie is here and what their secrets are.  Zak sees a black anomaly coming out of the room.  A 360 degree mic is used.  Paranormal Puck 2 is on the bathroom.  "Female" comes through.  "Living wrong" comes through.  "Stay" when he asks if there's a portal they can go to.  "Where is Scotty" nothing comes through.  The anomaly follows them.  Something comes through like a "portal burst" over a box.  Billy says it's a historical table.  

Billy feels Zak will map something in the back room.  "God is perfect humans are imperfect" Billy says so here's an imperfection in the tile room.  A stick figure appears like it's leaning back and then a triangular shape comes through on its shape at every movement of the figure.  It crawls like it was coming through at a ritual.  Billy feels hot air.  The black anomaly reappears.  The stick figure also appears and grabbed Billy's foot and turned into a perfect triangle.  





Motion activation balls are placed in a circle as Zak reads an incantation.  When he says "fire" an anomaly comes out, stops and then leaves.  Sounds like "I am out"??  

Zak wears the night vision goggles.  He sees a human shaped mist in the middle of the room and other orbs follow it.  PSB 7 Pro is used.  "In here."  Doesn't sound like it.  "Go" or "hope"?? "Easily. "Her love...galleon"??  When he asks who are you "Scotty?" "yes"  "...??hear the voice."  Zak says they captured some amazing thermal evidence.  

Re the Ovilus saying "I Roger" maybe it's not relevant but there was a Roger Wilson who was part of a survey team at Death Valley.  He was a transitman. Though he wasn't in direct contact with Albert Johnson, he did report to someone that was.  This was when Albert was planning his ranch ie Death Valley Ranch which came to be known as Scotty's Castle.  So there was a Roger around in some form or another.

Ghost Adventures "Ghost Island"

What's Zak singing for and what about!!??  Getting killed again or was this in relation to the accident he and his assistant almost had on their way to Utah??  The edge of the coast of Utah's Great Salt Lake to Antelope Island aka Ghost Island.  Unmarked graves on the property and an uncontrollable presence to the Mormon Fielding Garr ranch property.  Had to come during a snow storm.  Zak wants them to prepare spiritually being here.  A force prowls the island and the ranch that attacks whenever it wants.  Authorities want help from them.  They feel oppressive psychological weight.  Park Ranger Carl Aldridge believes Fielding is buried on the property but they don't know where.  A noise is heard which didn't sound like snow falling from the roof.  Carl laughs when Zak asks about the ranch hands cos they were hobos and outcasts.  One killed his wife and then himself.  Another drank himself to death after drinking lemon extract.  A visitor experiences a brutal attack inside the ranch and his hands started bleeding.  This ranger guy was abnormally smirking like he's affected by the property.  Even Zak wasn't laughing at all.  This happened in the living room where Fielding was meant to have passed away.

Park Ranger Amy and a friend were exploring the ranch house and she felt a presence and became afraid and she backed against the wall.   She was afraid and trapped.  They came back into the house and they felt cold air outside and they left.  Her friend was badly affected.  The Great Salt Lake where salt is used to contain a negative activity.  The salt is so concentrated and can be used to confine something to the island.  Inside the barn the same sound is heard again but it wasn't snow.  It was more metallic which is what I said.  They didn't investigate the barn at night if it was meant to be really haunted too.  A breath is also heard.  Also some sort of dripping is heard that was probably snow.

They assess the ranch house and Zak says they have to be careful here.  The entities live in the woods and come inside to feed.  An unseen energy.  In 1862 Jean Batiste an undertaker turned grave robber was banished to Antelope Island and a ball and chain was attached to his leg and had a tattoo on his head.  Bones were found years later.  Could he be the evil spirit.  Three members of a local paranormal group tell them about being lost in the woods and lose direction.  That's what Aaron said at the end when he felt like he was in another dimension and didn't know where he was.  Members have been attacked, scratched, things rushing them.  Also reported on the local news.  

They investigate the ranch house and the EMF on the Trifield which shows some of the highest readings they've ever captured.  Even up to a thousand miligause.  In the original part of the house, Zak feels intense fear.  "Close" is seen on the Ovilus 5 and another high spike is caught.  Zak asks who is close to them and it says "Murder."  The living room where he uses the digital recorder.  On the playback he gets touched and his hand gets cold.  That's when it reaches a thousand.  Zak left the recorder on the dining room table recording.  Just as they leave there's just talking the entire time for two minutes.  It's not very clear some sort of growl and aggressive voice but can't decipher them.  He's left the recorder all the time and gets nothing on it after leaving it alone in locations.  On the Polterpod "I love here" sounds more than "I lived here" or "I love it..."???  The other voice says "this is a mess" rather than "this is a man."  "That's a yeah" when Aaron asks if he is the grave robber here.

Jay gets to go solo in the woods like Zak really needed three of them in the ranch house with him.  Jay uses two bodycams front and back.  Jay provokes it and asks for it to show his power to him.  He hears a growl and captures an anomaly on the thermal that could be an animal.  But it doesn't look like it.  Jay swears he heard his voice come through on the spirit box and complains of stomach pain.  He lifts up his top and before he can show the scratch he says something is attacking him as something snaps some sticks underfoot.

Zak goes inside alone with the mic.  A hmm sound/voice is heard.  Something like a door being rattled is heard.  He asks for it to appear in front of him.  Another sound like something on the table.  He says something rushes up on him in the bedroom.   A growl is also heard.  On the kitchen X cam a ball of light enters the dining room at ninety degrees.  He knows it's the man talking to them in the room.  Billy interrupts him to say the man who killed his wife slept in that same room.  Aaron hears a sound and Zak says he probably needs his hearing checked.  He says Zak never hears anything.  The room also had a Polaroid of a feather on fire floating above the bed.  His hand goes ice cold.  "Get out is recorded.  "Yes it is" after Zak asks if it's his land.  

Zak and Billy argue about whose jacket makes the most noise.  I say that to my sis about her coat!  Aaron finds it funny they get aggressive just like the convo they picked up on the recorder.  Billy said he desecrated 300 graves and asks if he's mad since he's stuck here.  He says to do something to show his presence.  The vibe at the table changes.  The EMF sphere lights up and Jay comes through.  Zak asks if he heard that so Aaron had to tell him it's Jay.  So much for Aaron having bad ears!

Something ran up to Jay.  Something moves in the bushes and Zak tells Aaron to go look.  Who says it's Billy's turn.  Billy says something's out there, could be an animal or not and they should just get out.  Is this what the paranormal investigator told them about something being in the weeds and she thought it could be a wolf or something.  Jay's been marked and he asked for it to show itself.  Aaron seems to be lost and he feels he's in some weird dimension.  They left Jay back in the woods and didn't even wait for him or bring him out with them.  Billy uses the thermal cam and they hear a gunshot inside the ranch house.  Zak wore his mask in the woods the entire time.  The XLS cam doesn't focus on Jay.  Was the wife shot by the man??  Or was that something that happened to Fielding since his body wasn't found.  The stick figure goes up to the ceiling and looks as though it's holding a gun.  That was similar to that hotel ep where the groom shot his wife. 

An anomaly manifests under the table.  Jay leaves and finds he's near the woods entrance.  Zak says nothing will attach itself to any of them.  Billy uses some Palo Alto to cleanse Jay and that it won't attach to any of them.  Zak doesn't want to ever return here.  What an ep frightening but funny at the same time with their bickering and petty arguing!

Ghost Adventures "Sutro Ghost Town"


As they approach Sutro ghost town, a female voice comes through with a message on Zak's phone.  Sounds like "thieves?? or eves rush in with the tide."  Engineer Adolph Sutro moved to Virginia City and added wealth to his assets when a streak of silver was discovered.  At least 12 died during the construction of the tunnel.  

A stake sticks out of the ground with Tucker Lyons written on the stake so it could be the body of a baby but no one knows anything about who he was.  A house burned down and a foundation remains.  Chris also shows them something he hasn't shown anyone before.  Unmarked graves of a family of six who died in a house fire.  Buried on the foundation of where the house burned down.  In 1942 the mansion burned down.  Their research showed the entire family died.  Everywhere they walk Zak says there's a new mystery that hasn't been solved.  A lot of death occurred such as in the building of the Sutro Tunnel.  Many lost souls and bodies buried and other events all come to a head at the exit and entrance of the tunnel.  A woman's then sounds like "It's rushing with the tide??  that's where all the lost souls reside in the tunnel.  Zak gets profound speaking of how as we all take our own steps they all will catch their spiritual connection.  That connection started for him earlier and he saw the image of that house which urged him to come here.  The iage of the Victorian house.

Towards every structure they feel energy squirming towards their body.  Vietnam Vet Greg felt something dark in the house where he used to live, in the upstairs room.  He feels threatened by something there.  The tunnel is an "artery to that network of veins" and Zak feels the tunnel is a portal.  Greg saw a Ouija board and it was never closed.  Water comes out of the ground and Zak says there's a geometric source and the house signifies a beacon for those spirits and this is where they go.  Greg takes them to a cabin where he used to live which also burned down.  All mysteriously.  Greg calls it "The Sutro Curse."  Greg believes the source of the fire is a man who comes through the bedroom door who looked like a soldier wearing a tunic.  He saw him through the door on many occasions.  The soldier is the root of the destruction Zak believes.  When Greg moved to Dayton he met someone who lived in the same house and mentioned seeing the same ghost.  The entity hunting his vics, Zak asks if he followed Greg to the cabin and is he holding others there too.

The souls the soldier has taken for himself are locked in the Victorian house.  Nadine entered the house and was confronted by an aggressive spirit which said "F*ck you" to her.  Collette and Claudia also add weight to the possibility of the soldier being everywhere.  He sends Aaron and Billy into the house without knowing anything and he wants to move somewhere else.  They talk of standing in the room by the wall and there were scratches heard on the wall and someone whispered in her ear.  She felt someone trying to push her over.  Which Billy says he fees the same.  Aaron asks if he didn't like that scary joke??  What scary joke??  A reply comes through "hey" sounded like "huh" to me.  "Held tied" comes through on the Puck.   

Billy says vertical shafts on the maps are different claims throughout all of Virginia City and connect to the Sutro mine and that's the only opening left.  Zak says everyone is calling the tunnel a portal.  It's exhaling all the spirits and residual activity.  Every moment of fear and pain and panic are coming through the Tunnel.  Fire, poisonous gas, explosions killed and injured up to 900 miners.  Zak says the veins in their body ie the network of mines are all they've investigated for the past 18 years and they're calling on those spirits to greet them.  They wire an X camera to the tunnel as they can't go into it.  One camera to the old saloon warehouse.  Billy runs a double copper wire from the gate to the old saloon with a current constantly going through it.  A path will be created when they come out of the portal and travel to the saloon from the Washoe Club, the Bonanza etc.  He says they're playing with a very dangerous portal.  The Victorian is left and they haven't even been inside there and that's where they will end their investigation. 

Billy and Aaron use the Paranormal Puck 2 and old time saloon music to call upon the spirits to come out.  Aaron says he heard singing, which I didn't.  An EMF sphere is on the table and a lantern light on the ground, as well as some bells too in the saloon.  The lamp is being powered with a stake wired to the lamp inside the saloon.  Zak says through the Walkie for the spirits to travel to the saloon.  Heat signatures are caught in infra red on the tunnel.   They feel wind from the tunnel as soon as the music plays and there wasn't any wind before.  Billy tells the miners to follow the music.  Jay and Zak hear a door creak open and footsteps are heard in the saloon.  A spirit could've travelled from the tunnel.  After the footsteps the battery on the camera dies.  The thermal camera battery drains too.  

Billy uses the Puck.  Zak does an Ovilus  when "star hang sand aggression" comes through.  "Plan crossover drunk" also comes through.  "Quickly" on the Puck.  "Fire."    Billy asks "is there anything we should know?"  "Burn" comes through and "drunk" also comes through.  Yeah also foreshadowing for Billy and his whiskey shots!!   Zak asks who's in the saloon they hear walking.  "Judge Edison" comes through.  Zak uses the XLS camera.  A strange mist comes out of the tunnel.  

Billy takes a shot.  They ask for the Judge.  A stick figure lays on the table, one in the back doorway and there's one behind on the stairs.  As Billy takes the shot it tries to grab the glass from his hand.  


Billy feels weight on his arm.  The light on the ball goes off too before Zak says later.  They don't see the motion ball going off already.  Billy's addicted to taking another shot as he says he'll pour another one.  Two dark balls head out from behind Billy.  A knocking is heard.  Coming from upstairs??  There's a drunk spirit on the ground.  Aaron tells them to shut up as a door opens.  There's nothing there.  The bells begin to move.  The motion ball lit up ages ago and it was the same one too.  

Billy says it wants him to drink another whiskey.  He starts acting strangely and he's never had an impulse.  Zak says he'll get drunk.  That the spirit is channelling him to drink the whiskey.  Aaron says he was upstairs and the way Billy said he's going to have another drink.  That's what came through with the plan to get drunk.  Zak says they don't need a drunk paranormal investigator.  Billy asks if his breath smells like the dude at a party.  Aaron doesn't want to smell his breath.  Zak conducts a sobriety test on Billy as he walks a straight line.  Well he could've got Jay to investigate instead.  He passes the test.  In the room where the figure was spotted at the back, the Polterpod catches a voice they say is a scream.  A voice sounds like "get help man" not "get out man."  Aaron says he felt like he was  attacked by a bird.  A mist like anomaly shoots out of Aaron.  Those calls for help allude to what Zak said about whether the soldier is holding those entities inside the mansion.  

Was that a shadow in the background when Billy and Zak are talking about Billy taking a third shot and getting drunk.  Or was that Aaron, don't think it was, but can't tell.  Where was Aaron anyway, still upstairs?? The blue is where some shadow appears and what's on the green bit, a shadow on the wall?? Will add video later not uploading right now!

In the Victorian house noises come from the upstairs room.  Aaron finds a mirror and chair and a light anomaly is seen on the handrail.  Knocking is heard from downstairs now.  The chair by the mirror is ominous.  Zak catches a still of a figure appears to be hovering in the window.  Doesn't it look like a baby??

A growl is heard.  Zak asks if it's the same growl Nadine heard.  Billy says something came out of the mirror.  The recorder on the chair records a voice.  Billy says something grabbed the back of his neck.  An anomaly manifests by the recorder.  Aaron smells cigar.  Funny since Sutro used to own tobacco shops and also sold cigars.  Could he be around still?  Did it say "get the f*ck out."  The ITC device captures a woman's voice "you gotta help" I heard the first time then "help me."  A male voice says "go."  Zak stands downstairs and says he doesn't want to leave.  An anomaly goes towards him and then backs away.  Zak says Aaron's getting on his nerves.  A clear voice comes through.  Didn't sound like a woman.  Did it say "can you help"?????  Zak calls it a "strange f*cking house."

Pygmalion at The Old Vic

                                   

Waiting at the side of the stage for the production to begin, a lady dressed in '20's awaits.  A clap of heart stopping thunder  to give you a scare and wake you up just incase you were feeling a little tired! She runs onto the stage and a crowd gathers to begin the conversation.  Cue Eliza Doolittle, flower seller, as she tries to sell flowers and chaos ensues .  Col Pickering is introduced and she owes him a flower.  As Henry Higgins introduces himself.  Each man was on this way to London, India respectively to meet each other, as they have written books on diction!  As they talk, Eliza overhears Henry's address, 27 Wimpole Street for future reference of course.  Henry listens to dialects and is able to tell which country/region people hail from.  A taxi is hailed but as no one is there to take it, Eliza does, adding she has money to pay for it.  Probably a first with a small car as a taxi appearing on stage, at least for me.  

Henry and the Colonel talk about the various contraptions and gadgets Henry has set up at home with recording devices.  As Henry bursts into phonics/phonetics on vowel sounds.  As the audience laughs hysterically.  (Sometimes you wish you wouldn't get that over-enthusiastic belly laugher who drowns out the speech!  Aaah-las what can you do.) Eliza turns up and wants to be taught to speak 'proper.'  Henry takes on the challenge.

Starring Bertie Carvel as Henry Higgins (aka Inspector Adam Dalgliesh from Channel 5's Dalgliesh who puts in a commendable performance as Henry "Just you wait 'enry" 'iggins.  I was immediately taken back to Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady, well maybe some of you may have to squint or close your eyes, but to me he did sound like him especially when I first heard him.  He was also in an episode of series 1 of Sherlock The Blind Banker as Seb Wilkes.  Sufficed to say Patsy Ferran as Eliza wasn't an Audrey Hepburn, though one of her floral dresses and her hair reminded me of her.  I did half expect a burst into song.  Sylvestra Le Touzel as Henry's mother was a great addition.  I recall her from an early BBC production of Mansfield Park, where she played Fanny price.  It was good to meet her afterwards.  Though she was taken aback at recalling some of her earlier starring roles, including Midsomer Murders.  Anyone remember her in her own elocution lesson in the Heneiken ad from way back re "the water in Majorca don't taste like what it oughta" in cockney.  Good to meet Bertie as well, though I was a little surprised me and my sister were the only ones who stayed to meet him at Stage Door afterwards!  Yikes. 

Varied reviews on this from being a hit to barely passable.  Yes the press was rather cruel, calling Eliza's change rushed and hasty.  Well, not much you can do in just over two hours, or more  that could be dwelled upon.  Did they want blood.  Or were their "squashed cabbage leaf faces" too wilted to see the differences in the production to other adaptations.  They can't all be carbon copies.  Even the ending was different, though they did speak of love, Eliza was more interested in being with Freddy (Taheen Modak) and marrying him just as soon as she could support him.  Though she did end up setting up her own elocution school.  As Henry appeared to be more interested in Eliza's soul. 

The show runs until 28th October at the Old Vic, London, if you want to see it and judge for yourself!

Death Walker 3.18 "The Sentinel Spirit"


 In Albany, New York when celebrating festivities at the Orleans County Fair, a crowd gathered to watch as a man stepped out onto the tightrope.  The bridge gave way due to the weight of the crowd on the bridge.  English block building which was set on fire and and the land was bought by John Pratt who built the opera house.  Grand Army Republic (GAR) meeting room dedicated to Union forces who served in the Army and Marines.  Their motto was "fraternity, charity and loyalty."  The brutality of war veterans face.  For over 50 years war veterans frequented the GAR room and their energies taken out.  John Pratt passed away in 1901 and the stage area in the opera house was enlarged.  Horse shaped balcony has since been removed.  Many emotions are felt here.  During WWII the opera house chairs were removed for the steel war drive.  Michael purchased it in 2005 and restored all three buildings for the past three years.  Vacant parts available for paranormal investigations.  Shadow figures, disembodied voices, footsteps, strong stench.  This location could be haunted by Pratt, his nephew or a Civil War vet who wanted to stay.  Erie canal tragedy could also be the cause of the hauntings.

Michael is going to restore the floors of the buildings, the GAR meeting rooms and the ensignias that were particular to the members.  Historian found an adjoining room with a peephole and the theory is any group that ran the meeting and could stay in there to find out what was going on.  The GAR room was next to it.  He's trying to restore the opera house and have meetings in the GAR house.  Experienced tugs, voices, shadow people, footsteps across the floor.  The shadowman could be John Pratt and he walks along the stage.  The General was scary,  and followed DJ around.  People in the opera house were happy and he feels dizzy there.  Michael said the opera house ran for 50 years and there are many rumours and stories about tragedies.  The block burnt out 1820, 1960 and 1880 and everything burned down was built of masonry.  Otis is a boy who hangs around, tugs and grabs hand.  The opera house has excited emotions and happiness.  The General was a captain who oversaw things here and he hangs around here.  There were two deaths every mile when the Eerie Canal was being built.

A noise is heard on the stage of the opera house.  Nick asks if Pratt is here  "Yes...yeah."  Why do I always hear "help me...help" come through briefly.  "He didn't make it."  A woman's voice comes through underneath the male voice.  Upstairs in the GAR room he asks if soldiers are here.  Asks for the General.  Was that "Alexandra" that came though after Nick asks what their name is.   Nick hears a door open and on replay the door with the peephole can be seen opening.  That was creepy.  The batteries die.  He feels electricity on his body.  

In the basement Nick searches for the shadowman, the intelligent spirit who's been communicating with him.  "John Pratt" comes through.  "Alexander" comes through again.  "I'm the shadowman."  "Yes I did" when he asks if it made the noise.  The General is the shadowman.  "Listen."  "Who's this?"  They want him to go to the GAR room.  Nick knows there's life after death.  The contact made with the General.  He hears a cry come through.  The consciousness of those who died remains in the foundations of the building.  Spirits can communicate from the other side to show what they went though.  He wants a sign that they exist on the other side.  "I understand" comes through.

The opera house.  I heard "please help me" again.  Why - was it to do with the fire??  "They didn't make it" those that died on the bridge.  "Hi John" and a scream comes through.  Residual and intelligent voices come through.  This is the most active night chosen.  Nick asks if they are the ghosts, is he.  "Guide us."  "I am"  on the balcony.  Nick wants validation from the other side.  He asks if they can hear his voice.  "Accident" is heard.  Some man fell through the stage.  Nick uses sound activated lasers to see if shadows are seen or if noise is heard.  

Death Walker 3.17 "The Mountain Clinic"

 

Nick comments how most people don't like to think or talk about death as a reality but we will die one day.  In the US, 60% die in hospitals and 20% at home.  Many vacant hospitals are hotspots for paranormal activity with people dying unexpectedly.  Here at the Mountain Clinic many former hospital fixtures are real and the original wooden morgue table in the basement.  Built in one year for $1000,000.  There are 35 beds, 10 private rooms and 2 semi private rooms.  Each with a lab and modern equipment.  During the second year over 1,000 patients admitted in the main building and this was enlarged in 1919.  Maternity ward was added and a ward for men.  Dr Ruth Mallen was the first female dentist.

 Nick from his years of investigations has found that odd things occur in places where people died especially in hospitals where spirits don't want to move on, due to their passing negative spirits in the employees and visitors.  Paranormal activity including disembodied voices and things moving by themselves.  There are doctors and nurses wandering the house, as well as aggressive poltergeist activity and he wants to make contact with the spirits who have chosen to stay here for their reasons.  Spirits of doctors and nurses still remain and taunt the old mountain hospital.  Saw an imprint when a former nurse walked through the clinic and moved to the basement morgue.  Quietest place at the hospital.   A book keeper saw all the paperwork boxes emptied and everything was on floor and cabinets were open.  The book keeper left the office.  Mopping floors and speaking with worker the bucket rolled by itself.  In the basement, can feel someone walking behind them.  Can hear whispering.  On the second floor and heard slippers on the hall but no one was there and it was after dark.  Neighbours have seen shadows across the windows.  The Mountain Clinic morgue were the dead were embalmed in the basement.  Can see the imprints on the table.  A family called mentioning a nurse who worked here in the 1940's and had birthing skills upstairs and was transferred in the morgue and they got emotional.

Nick wants to know where the energy goes when a person dies.  He can see the stains on the table.  He says it's creepy walking here with so many people here and being operated on.  Did "accident" come though.  "Awakened" is heard.  Nick asks if that's what happened when they passed.  "Yes" comes through after he asks if they died there.  Nick asks how they can hear him from the reality or the other side they're on.  He doesn't understand how they can hear  him as he can only hear them or is he a ghost and they're living right now.  "You are" meaning Nick's the ghost, possibly.  Disease took his life "yes."  TB was a problem here.  "My throat."  "I hate it...medics."  Justin feels something pull on his jacket and nothing like that's happened to him before and he was pulled back.  "Yes" after he asks if something pulled on his jacket. A woman answers "me."  

Follow the path of the people who died here and brought to the morgue.  He tries to connect mentally with them and try to communicate from this side to the other.  Bodies that died on the table and uses REM sleep enhancer to connect with whatever's lingering.  Justin leaves the building and Nick wears the ghost helmet.  He felt the energy of someone who died here and could see nurses at the same time.  He feels drained and oppressive, the energy is draining.   He was exhausted as something was affecting his throat and was closing it up and could see nurses on the table and feels that the energy was emotionally captured and the body was dead but the energy was still lingering.  He felt the same energy as the spirit coming through saying his throat hurt earlier on.

Important to investigate during the day as it was a full functioning hospital during the day.  A sound is heard upstairs on the third floor in the surgical suite.  He uses the shadow detection device but nothing comes through.  "Yeah" after he asks if he's laying on the bed.  A mysterious echo-y voice like a woman.  Nick asks who's standing there.  Nick says something was thrown at Justin and hit him.  In the same place where his jacket was pulled.  A loud bang is heard like a door slamming.  "Patient" after Nick asks if it banged on the wall.  "Wall" comes through.  Intelligent voices coming through during the day and night and he's picking up the energy of these people.  He asks if the nurse he saw is still here in the morgue.  Nick visually saw her working on the patients when he slept here during the night.  Another banging is heard.  Nick wants them to help him figure out what happens when they die, where the energy goes?  Do you know that you're dead?  "Megan" comes through.  Then "Nick's down here." 

"I hate..."  Nick asks if it's a continuation of energy where they feel they have to stay here working.  "I work..."   "I did..." work here.  Nick gets pushed in the back and hears a voice in his ear at the same time.  He felt a hand on his back.  "I just did" comes through.  "I hate this..."  Sounds like a jumble of voices coming through.  The device goes off.  "Yeah..." pushed him.  Same as Justin and his jacket.  Shadow figures, phantom footsteps, disembodied voices all show a continuing cycle of life but hauntings intrigue him.  Nick feels people are trying to help people and the tragic deaths occurred here from passing away.  The physical energy and consciousness remains here and that's what people experience here.

Death Walker 3.13 "Risser Hospital"


Bonham, Texas.  The Risser Hospital built in 1915 by John Sparger Jr and residence for DW Sweeney, purchased by Joe A Risser who renovated the 18 bed house into a hospital.  On 17th November 1961 The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Sam Rayburn died in the North East downstairs room.  There have been thirty confirmed deaths and more in archive records.  DW Sweeney in 1935 had his funeral here.  Donnie brought it and renovating into a bed and breakfast.  Hopes altered environment stirred paranormal activity.  Also renovated the house next door which is also haunted.  Vacant except his office and he experienced paranormal activity and asked for an investigation.  See if connection between both locations.  Migrating too and from both buildings.  Probably due to construction work. Johnny Haney, a paranormal investigator has seen shadow figures and heard disembodied voices.  An entity lashed out at him and his girlfriend after conducting a seance when they slept there.  

Nick wants to see if spirits of residence and if the deceased patients are fine with the renovation.  See if force will physically attack him.  His brother and sister were born in one of the rooms.  He feels emotional.  Donnie rode his bike there and was drawn in by the house.  Johnny heard footsteps at 5am something kicked the air mattress and moved it across the floor.  Voices yelled in his ear when sleeping.  One investigator scratched and scratched on neck.  Poltergeist activity on second floor and workers hear phantom footsteps, see shadow figures.  One worker saw shadow figures.  Donnie and two of his contractors heard them walking across the stairs and across the street they would see an old lady in the bathroom window.  

Accounts of physical attacks, Nick questioned if spiritual energy can overtake a person's mind and that can inflict self harm on a human body.  He felt dizzy when he walked in and hears footsteps.  Justin heard footsteps and saw something from the corner of his eye.  Nick felt a needle in his side in the surgical room.  He saw tracks and heard dragging sound and sees a wheel chair.  He doesn't know if that was here.  More walking is heard.  A woman is heard crying on the Geobox.  Some creepy voices come through in  the background.   He's curious if they're intelligent.  I hear "Justin" something come through.  "Behind you."  "Nick..."  "Nick said..."  "Hello."  No reply to how they know his name since his name always comes through.  He asks if they can see him. A paralight is on the stairs and will activate.  He asks if there's a doctor still here.  "Yes."  The paralight sounds off twice. "I was" born here.  "I lived here."  The light goes off again.  Nick feels static electricity.  "I'm here."  He asks if it can see him "yes" twice.  He feels cold.  "Yeah" after he asks if he's the doctor.  He's now interacting with something more intelligent.  

He stays alone in the hallway by the stairs now and see if any spirits will communicate with him further.  The light goes off when he's sleeping.  Then goes off again.  He suspects there's still residual energy here.  When he talks about whatever's here the light goes off.  I said the light going off sounds like Morse Code.  Dot dot dash type of noise.  Goes off again and sounds like Morse Code again.  When he says step on the stair Justin hears it say he'll get scratched.  "Risser" comes through..."yeah."  They don't like the renovations being done.  "He asked for it...stop."  Nick says it's now more intelligent and the doctor's name is heard in the surgical room.  Leave his room and go down the stairs.  

He goes next door where the woman who passed away there has been seen in the window.  As well as phantom footsteps.  He feels the energy has changed in there.  It's more peaceful.  He likes the Feng Sui going in there with the colours.  A different feeling when you stand there and look at the hospital.  

Back at the hospital he investigates using the Tesla coil and gets documentation of who the entity is that scratches people.  More footsteps are heard on the stairs.  He asks if they like the new owners and if they'll be nice to them.  A lot of voices come through, that's what I said before Nick did.  Nick says they have to let them do the renovations.  A male voice keeps saying "no."  Nick asks if it's the doctor "yeah."  They must co-exist together and allow them to let people in here.  Just not harm anyone but they want to let the building be alive they have to let people come in here.  Let them finish their work.  "Yes we have to...we have to"  Intelligent responses coming through and he thinks the man now understands that the house is being brought back to life from the dilapidated nature of the house.  Nick slept here and he doesn't feel threatened now as it holds so much history of life and death.    

Death Walker 3.12 "Van Horn Mansion"


The Van Horn mansion was built in 1823 by Justice James Van Horn, his son married a woman named Malinda who was rumoured to have died in childbirth or murdered.  Her body's whereabouts were unknown until the 1970's and human remains were detected in the adjacent to rose garden by cadaver dogs.  Headstone remains where she was discovered with the cracked stone and had it weighted down.  The gravestone would shift to the North and had to be put back into place.  A boy plays in bathroom, under stairs a cook is seen peeking in the basement and Van Horn Senior growling at women, furniture and items have been donated to the historical society.  Some items harbour unnatural spirits.  A ceremony conducted to rid demons on mirrors in display but failed as people can still see them in the mirrors.  Open today allowing humans to freely invade the mansion.  Maid's bedroom in the attic has activity, doors open and shut by some force.  Figures peek out from kitchen.  A hazardous waste company's attempts to build offices failed due to an aggressive haunting so donated the building to the  Newfane Historical Society.  Faces seen and linger in lights on windows.  Nick will try to make contact with Malinda and see if she divulges secrets from her past and with the shadow figure, he will try and communicate why here and where it came form.

Rose says you can hear voices and turn off alarms and sounds like a party and can hear whispering and talking and she's sat in the parlour and can see a dark shadow and she's been in the butler's pantry.  Looked at the pantry door and saw a black shadow with a top hat on and she froze.  Shadows in the master bedroom and she's been pushed and landed on the floor.  The alarm system gets set off by the figures.  A lady trustee on the second floor and a rope tripped her on the stairs.  Twelve Van Horn family members seen, including Abigail, who was Van Horn Senior's wife been seen, has blonde hair and is seem going from Malinda's room to the bedroom on the second floor.  In the basement and something played with the back of her neck.  Her daughter saw a scratch on her neck.   Saw a black figure on all fours and climbed the back of the roof. 

Investigators caught a shadow figure and a child in the hall.  Camera was also moved when no one was there.  Some creature was captured on the other side of the mirror and things have bee captured in reflections and in the attic too.  Where were the photos??  Everything was captured in the mirror and looked like a troll.  

"Dead" comes through.  Feels his energy being drained.  Did that say "there's something with you"??  Sure I heard "Van Horn" too.  "Dead" comes through twice.  He asks who brought them here, "black" comes through.  Nick asks what happened to Malinda?  "Kill" comes through.  Was that "monster"??  "Those were" bones.  Her spirit is "here."  He feels something come in and prevents them speaking about Malinda.  "Dead" is heard again.  "Attic" comes through.  In Malinda's room on the second floor he asks to communicate from beyond.  "Dead" again.  "Took her," "dead" comes through.  A strong energy is felt in the room.   "I do."  I hear "dead" as well.  Some creepy whispering voice is heard.  Nick hears footsteps.  "Speak" is heard - by me anyway.  "Negative" is heard.  I didn't hear "that's right" but "negative."  

Nick sets up lasers.  "Light."  "Died."  "Attic" comes through when he asks if he has to go to the attic.  "Help me."  Sets up light panels to see spirits communicating with him.  The lights light up.  "Seance" comes through and he asks if the entity came through then.  Nick feels burning on his back.  He sees the door move and he heard it creak.  Sis heard it, I didn't.  Intense energy after he spoke about the seance.  Did he have any marks on his back or a scratch??  

Nick goes where the monument to Meainda's grave is outside.  What happened when she died?  "Keep" I heard after he asks if they kept her in the attic.  "Dead...murdered."  He asks if they know Rose as she's seen them.  "No" comes through in a woman's voice after he asks if Rose has seen her inside the house.  "In the head...murdered." 

 "Nick."  "Killed" comes through twice.  A woman's cry was heard.  "Here" in a woman's voice is heard after he says she was found here by the dogs.  Puts motion activated light sensors on the grave to see if Malinda communicates with him.  The light goes off on the side.  Oh to see a shadow/spirit just once!!  "I cry" is slightly whispered by a woman.  He didn't look into any mirrors here.  He hopes the investigation provides some closure for her.  But no answers on what happened to her, whether she was murdered or not.  Logically she must have been murdered for her remains to be found there outside.  Why was her body just discarded like that??
