History
The
current building where the tenants live was once a school building
built back in the 1960’s. This school, however, has not been the
first school built on the property. There was another school before
it that was torn down, and the new school built upon the old
foundation. The old school had a basement, but it was filled in
with the bricks and debris of the first school and is no longer
accessible. The property ownership has changed hands quite often
over the years, resulting into the conversion of
apartments.
Investigation
C.O.P.S. team members present: Tony, Russell
N.O.R.I.P. team members present: Brad, Allison, Donald
OKCGC team members present: Logan
N.O.R.I.P. invited COPS and OKCGC out to
investigate this residence near Ponca City. N.O.R.I.P. has been to
the site many times and their first EVP was recorded in one of the
more active rooms.
All three teams arrived at the site
and met with the homeowner and went over some of the procedures of
the night’s investigation. Russell asked the homeowner a few
questions about his personal experiences there. Meanwhile, the rest
of the team started setting up equipment and was ready to run
through a sweep of the north hallway and rooms. For complete
details on all the baseline readings, please click here. No major
anomalies were documented during the sweep, save for a small degree
drop in one of the rooms.
After the sweep the team moved into
Room 10, a room believed to house much activity. Logan set out all
the AC EMF arrays while the team members sat down around the
perimeter of the room for IRC’s. Tony began asking standard EVP
questions. Throughout the sit-down in Room 10, the team kept
hearing knocking sounds coming from the adjacent room. It was later
discovered to be externally caused by the wind.
Once the Room 10 sit-down was
concluded, the team moved into the north hallway to conduct another
sit-down and IRCs. The Sony Handy Cam was placed on one end facing
the doors on the other end. The same arrays were set along the
walls of the hallway and were easily seen. Two arrays were placed
behind the Handycam as well. Only Logan, Brad, Tony, and Russell
were present in the hallway sit-down. Donald, Allison, and the
homeowner went into the cafeteria to document and listen. Tony
administered a knock test and the team did have a response at the
far end of the hallway by the doors that led outside. Irregular
tapping was also heard throughout the sit-down in the hallway. Once
the Handycam ran out of tape the team packed up all the equipment
and performed the last sit-down in the cafeteria.
Arrays were placed all along the
stage on the east end of the cafeteria. The team set up chairs in
the middle of the room, while Brad and Russell sat on the stage
itself to listen and watch the west end of the room. As soon as
Logan asked for any sign of the spirit’s presence the entire team
heard a knock from the back corner of the room by the kitchen.
After a few more questions were asked, the team sat in silence to
listen for anything out of the ordinary. Towards the end of the
sit-down, Logan commented on how all the green LEDs of the arrays
were slowly fading. Tony and Brad both agreed to watching the
lights slowly dim.
After the final sit-down, the team
packed up all the equipment and thanked the homeowner for allowing
the investigation. The video footage as well as the audio is still
under analysis from this location.
