Now that I have your interest!!! HELLO!
I wanted to take this time in the blog to tell you about our adventure at a chocolate cafe in Savannah. Our Team went to this investigation totally not intending to eat chocolate...yeah right? We had to know what we were up against didn't we?
We did an initial walk through of the site and sampled the product. YUM! Then we setup a time for us to return to do our investigation. Some of the claims they had were utensils moving (knives), seeing apparitions and hearing noises. We explained that we don't mind if someone from the cafe wanted to join in on the investigation, we actually prefer it.
When we arrived later that night we were pleasantly surprised to see at least six people from the cafe or their friends had joined us for the investigation. We asked the newcomers if they had participated in an investigation before and most said no. We did however, have a young boy with his grandfather attend the investigation. They had no relation to anyone at the cafe, they had just heard about the investigation and wanted to join us. They told us about how they travel around to quite a few locations and did investigations on their own.
The next question we asked: Have they ever watched a "ghost hunt" show on TV and everyone raised their hands. Did we expect anything different? No, heck we watch them too!
First thing we had to do is explain what they don't show on those TV shows. HOURS of nothing happening, after all, if there are spirits there, they don't jump on command. Next discussed the pieces of equipment we placed out. We wanted to explain what the equipment was and what it was used for. We hoped this would help if they understood the equipment.
And so the investigation began. We started right off by doing a base line reading of the area. One of the things we noticed is the back area where they had felt uneasy and seen apparitions, was giving off high EMFs. When I say high I mean HIGH. Upon further investigation we determined that it was coming from all the appliances in the back rooms It was on both sides of the path the employees were having to travel every day working at the cafe and the owner had to go through to get to his office. As most of you I'm sure know, these can make people see things that aren't there, can make people feel uneasy, sick and even fearful. Part of our process is to inform owners when we find these kind of things as it can be a risk to them or anyone that works in that area. We advised him to follow up with an electrician to see what could be done.
One of the reports was the unexplained movement of knives. So of course we had to stage some knives in various places. We also placed recorders near them to see if we captured anything unusual. We detected no movement during this investigation. Next we broke up into Teams. One group worked with visitors to do EVP sessions in the front of the cafe, while the other Team investigated the back rooms.
We had some exciting experiences and some that just made us laugh...lets start with the latter. The investigators that were doing the behind the scenes investigations started by doing EVP sessions in the "fear cage" area. They spent a good 15 mins or so then decided to pull out the ovilus. They started getting some words coming through, but nothing they could relate to, so they documented it and kept moving forward. Just when things seemed to be really quiet the ovilus yelled the word SURPRISE! and then said run. If you have ever listened to the ovilus you will know it doesn't normally have an inflection to the words it says. However, the investigators SWORE it did. We did some research on the web and there was nothing said about this being possible. You should have seen their faces!!! We later came to find out it can and does say SURPRISE really excited like. Well I can tell you if it was a spirit picking thse word and the timing..it really worked...having surprise and run said to them made them want to leave the area. However, they also identified that the ovilus we were using had an issue, if you ran your hand across the back of it you could make it generate words with each pass of your hand. Rendered useless until fixed..except for laughs.
Now for the EVP session with the visitors. We started the session doing a straight EVP session, but since it appeared to be a quite nite for us we turned on the SB7. If your not sure what that is, it is a piece of equipment that sweeps radio frequencies. The thought is that spirits can pull words from the transmissions and use them to communicate. I've personally not been a big believer of this, but I was proven skeptical on this investigation. What began as a some what quite session soon took a change for the better. One of our investigators asked what is your name? Through the SB7 we heard "Gretchen". This is the name of the investigators mother who had passed. She was rightfully startled and asked mom is that you? Then another word came out YES!. Then it got quiet. But as she stated she was ending the session...it sounds like the same voice saying...I love you!. Take a listen to it!

Like we have always said..you never know what you're going to encounter when you're on an investigation, sometimes they hit a little more close to home, even when your far away.
We have lots of findings posted on our Facebook page and you can check out our instagram page: Southernparanormalteam. The page will say S.P.I.R.I.T. Paranormal.
Until S.P.I.R.I.T. talks again......................................
