The S.P.I.R.I.T Team Goes to the Theater

Hello!


This is the second blog and we want to take this one to share with you a past adventure.  We travelled to a Theater in Savannah Georgia.  It's the longest running Theater in Georgia.


During the initial walk through of the Theater, it gave off an unusual feel.  You know like it was still in full production mode, although when we were there everything as far as the production was quiet. 


As we did our walk through one thing we noted, was that while in the balcony taking baseline pictures there appeared to be a haze or smoke hanging above the audience.  Not real visible to the naked eye, but it did show up in pictures.  Also, when walking on and around the stage, stage left felt very unwelcoming...was there something or someone there?


We began our investigation by setting up all the equipment you can imagine...we have a lot..so we put them every where we thought there might be some activity.  From motion sensors, to K2s to static electricity detectors to EMF detectors.  We also setup night vision cameras in the balcony, on the stage and back stage in the dressing rooms.  Then we went lights out.


Right away we had some action as one of our investigators felt touched on the arm as she walked down the row of seats closer to the stage. When we checked the cameras it showed nothing.  Were we too close to someone in their seat?


Then the K2 meter we had setup on the stairs on the right of the stage started going off repeatedly.  As we had done a base line sweep prior to beginning our investigation we could not attribute it to anything man made.  It would stop and then 10 minutes or so later it would start up again.  We did EVP sessions when it would lite up hoping someone would talk to us. We are still reviewing some of them, hopefully they will tell us what they wanted us to know.  Was it a past member of the theater company?


We tried multiple other EVP sessions and took tons of pictures.  As you probably know it doesn't happen like it does on TV.  Sometimes...you don't get much if anything.  After all, if these are people that are no longer with us, they are not there to perform for us or for anyone.  And often they don't.  One of the things I would love to understand is why often EVPs are one word maybe two?  But not often a full sentence...do you wonder why that is?


We mentioned stage left above..we chose this place as our one of our sit down sessions for EVPs.  One of our lead investigators sat with a representative from the Theater and began asking questions out loud.  Some hits on the meters was captured.  But after awhile their conversation turned to past ghost investigations.  We have often found we get more answers or EVPs when we are not ASKING questions.  But just by being in their space they want to reach out to us.  But here is where we had a little bit of fun.


Our investigator always starts her EVP sessions off with "Hello?".  It's sort of become a running joke because...well.. you know the famous song..  So we downloaded that song onto our phone and we were hiding off stage in the dark.  When she said it we played really loud the recording...They were STARTLED!  They thought they were getting a response...It was all we could do not to laugh out loud.  Then they got up and headed our direction.  One of us dove under a piano they had and the other two of us ran behind the stage drop to the other side of the stage.


The investigator and representative finding nothing, went back out front and sat down...but we were laughing so hard on the other side of the stage..I guess we sounded like we were growling...they thought there was something not so friendly near by.  See how evidence can get messed up?  We actually came clean and explained what was happening and all had a good laugh.  Time to get serious again.


Some of the Team went back up to the balcony to do an EVP session.  Once they got there they realized for some reason the seating area below appeared to be even smokier than during the initial walk through. Working with the representative we checked the theater and we could not attribute it to anything in the theater.  But they did tell us there was a fire that had impacted part of the theater in the not so recent past, so that gave us a great idea.


We downloaded a fire siren sound from the early 1900's on to our phones.  Part of the Team went back to the balcony while the rest of staged ourselves in different parts of the theater.  For 30 seconds we played the sirens while we all yelled FIRE!  Get out!  Come this way!  at the top of our lungs.  Then we stopped and everyone turned on a recorder for 30 seconds.  We got some things on our recorders, some not so clear.  However, what was really cool about the experience is those of us downstairs in front of the stage felt like people were rushing by us during those 30 seconds.  It was the weirdest feeling because we could see nothing.  However multiple investigators experienced this.  Has your Team ever tried re-enactments?  Have you had success?


This was the end of our investigation.  We have posted some of our unexplained pictures on our Facebook page or on Instagram...take a look...let us know what you think?   Until the S.P.I.R.I.T. Talks Again...............
