Oklahoma City Metro Area  **Due to the nature of the location and how dangerous the structure is we will not be posting the location for this investigation**

History
This school was reportedly closed sometime in the late 80's and was damaged by arson in 2000; moreover, was torn down by the city in mid 2007. No other history is available for the location at this time.

Investigation Saturday, November 11th, 2006

P.R.O.S. team members present: Ron, Therin, Chuck, Kristine
The investigation began with a quick sweep of the school building and grounds using our EMF detectors, voice recorders and an IR thermometer.  During the sweep we detected some odd EMF spikes and temperature fluctuations through out the school.
 
After the sweep, we decided, due to random activity throughout, to spend time in each room conducting various tests. Beginning in the gymnasium and stage area of the school,  we noticed an increase in EMF activations.  Coinciding with those EMF activations we experienced equipment battery failure, temperature fluctuations, odd smells such as perfume and bacon, USP's, kinetic activity, orbs and correlating EVP's.
 
An aspect of the investigation still confusing us involves the EMF detectors and their activation.  Using two K2 EMF detectors with two separate people holding them, those two people would sweep until they picked up activity.  When one EMF detector would register, the other detector would be held directly to the side of the one registering.  Oddly enough, when they were both held parallel, only one detector would activate.  Why would only one detector register a fluctuation in an electromagnetic field?  To attempt to answer this question, the two investigators swapped EMF detectors and put fresh, brand new batteries in each.  We still produced the same results.

Investigation Friday, November 17th, 2006

Our team, in conjunction with PROS, has conducted many follow up investigations of this abandoned school.   We are still unable to explain the strange EMF readings we are documenting.
 
Through IRC's we have established that if the school truly does house paranormal entities that they can respond to questions in real time by activating our EMF detectors.  Multiple times we have had sessions where the EMF detector served as means to answer our various yes or no questions.  For example, an investigator could ask "If you are male, would you please light up the meter or touch the green light?," followed by a high reading and then a drop to a constant low reading.  During these sessions we continued to experience the same phenomena of having only one detector register while the other is next to or circled around it.  We are not sure what the answer is, however we do conclude that our "question and answer" sessions are not merely coincidence.
 
In addition to us asking questions we could also ask and encourage an entity, if they truly are present there, to, once we registered EMF, take our hand, so to speak, and follow us as we moved about the school.  Once again, we were left dumbfounded, watching an investigator move from one side of the gymnasium to the other, pleading the presence to follow, with his EMF detector remaining on a constant high level register.   We hope to have video posted of this phenomena soon.   If anyone could offer information as to what could be causing this please contact us.

Investigation Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006
C.O.P.S. team members present: Tony, Trey, Michael
P.R.O.S. team members present: Ron
OKCGC team members present: Logan

During another follow up on this site, the team members experienced the same EMF fluctuations as before on previous trips.  Several more IRC's were administered with positive response.  The team set the Sony recorder on the stage to eliminate any false positives created by holding the recorder in hand.  The team left shortly afterward.  C.O.P.S. will be returning to the school with control objects to see if physical interaction is possible.  Stay tuned.

C.O.P.S. returned to the site to administer EVP and photo documentation as well as element recreation with a small control flame.  Members of the team believe introducing a control flame could possibly catalyze a paranormal response.  After the control flame was lit, the ambient temperature in the auditorium dropped 5-10 degrees and the members were overwhelmed with a feeling of apprehension.  Knock tests were performed in the auditorium, the nurse's station, and two classrooms with no response.  The team continued to sweep towards the cafeteria.  After EMF sweeps, the team headed back to the auditorium to conduct a question and answer session with the digital recorder.  The EVP's below were recorded during this time.  The team was at the school for about 90 minutes and concluded the investigation.

Investigation 5
C.O.P.S. team members present: Tony, Conrad, Michael, Russell, 2 Guests
OKCGC team members present: Logan

The team arrived around 10:45 p.m. to further conduct I.R.C's at the school.  The team went into the auditorium and performed EMF sweeps.  As the team started into the "nurse's station," Michael reported seeing a shadow and a noise coming from the auditorium.  The team went back into the auditorium to decide whether or not the noise was caused by an outside factor.  At this point, the team set up to do E.V.P. work.  Russell conducted the E.V.P. session gearing most of the questions as to how spirits and entities perceive the living.  After ten minutes, the team resumed their sweeps into the rest of the building.  The team stepped into classroom B to do more E.V.P. work.  After the team asked "Please make your presence known," everyone heard a loud crash with ensuing movement orientating from the direction of the auditorium.  Thinking the crash derived from an outside human element, the team searched the entire grounds in efforts to locate an explanation.  The team found no evidence inside or outside the school to support human intervention.  Shortly there after, due to time constraints, the team concluded the investigation.  One possible E.V.P. was recorded along with several picture anomalies.

Investigation 6
C.O.P.S. team members present: Tony, Trey, Michael, Russell
OKCGC team members present: Logan

C.O.P.S. decided to head back to the school to attempt capturing any more USP's (i.e. the loud crash the team heard before on Investigation 5).  Also, the team recently acquired a new Sony Handycam DV camcorder as well as an external IR extender for nightshot use.  The IR extender emits a light invisible to the naked eye, but lights up a room when viewed through the camcorder with the nightshot feature enabled.  This allows the team to see in total darkness and is also a better way to capture visual anomalies on the move, rather than by digital cameras alone.
