Since
Ron from PROS has made this building a long-term research site, it
will be very interesting what kind of evidence is collected in the
process. Tony and Russell contacted Ron to see they could go out
and record audio and see if anything can be capture on
film.
Tony and Logan met Ron out at the
LTRS (Long Term Research Site) one night to see what all can be
captured on either film or audio. The main focus of the evening was
the basement area. The stories that circulate around this area of
the mercantile tell of how a brutal murder occurred near the shower
room. A female presence has also been seen on all floors of the
mercantile.
Tony, Logan, and Ron got set up in
the basement facing the camcorder near a chair they heard a noise
emit from. After the camera was running, Russell showed up and
headed down into the basement with everyone else. Ron and Tony
headed down to the far north end of the basement where the couch
was found on a previous investigation while Logan and Russell
stayed near the basement entry and near the camcorder. Tony began
asking standard questions followed by a knock test with no
response. Everyone did, however, experience something that was not
directly the result of interaction. Logan and Russell commented on
how the basement seemed to be getting darker, contrary to the human
eye focusing better with time in dark places. Tony and Ron noticed
seeing a shadow move across one of the walls. Russell saw what
appeared to be a shadow but was made out of light, not dark.
Footsteps were heard over heard, so Logan and Ron decided to head
up to the first floor and Russell and Tony stayed in the
basement.
Once Ron and Logan got settled
upstairs, Tony took a picture of the hallway. As he moved the
camera to his side, he saw a women standing next to him leaning
against the wall. Tony said she was looking right at him and didn't
move until he spoke and she disappeared. Russell wasn't looking at
the wall, so he couldn't verify that a woman was standing there,
but the atmosphere did changed right before Tony saw the
woman.
After a few more questions were
asked, Tony and Russell headed back upstairs and talked with Ron
and Logan. Ron brought a motion-activated camera and placed it
upstairs facing the staircase.
