We know right? Your looking at the title and saying who would go to a SLAUGHTER HOUSE! LOL, funny that is what we thought when we pulled up to the location. What a way to spend a Saturday night!
We were invited to investigate Farris Meatpacking. It is a no longer functioning slaughter house. Since we have never investigated a place like this, we weren't really sure what to expect or how to approach this investigation.
When we entered the building you had the sense of just how long it had not been in use. We did wear protective breathing devices, no sense taking chances with our health.
As we roamed through the building just getting a sense of what the place was like, you could tell it was a busy place at one point, but now it had a feeling of forgotten. As you entered the first floor there was a lot of old furniture laying around, but what we found most interesting is the original lockers the workers at the plant used were still in place. Something about them just brought the people who worked there to mind. Was it hard to work there?
We could only go to the second floor, as the third floor was not considered stable to walk on. As we worked our way up a winding spiral metal staircase with all of our gear, the building did give off a creepy feeling. It was as if something was waiting for us on the next floor.
As we started setting out our equipment we did get a limited response to our request asking any one there to respond to our questions. However, when we started using the Spirit Box, we did get some interesting responses. We asked if they worked there and what their name was and we got the response of "Ethan". We asked what they processed there and the response came "animals". Out of all the words that could come through, the timing on "animals" was amazing. (Check out our Instagram or Facebook page to hear the session)
As we were performing the session, there came the sound of running above our head. Only that floor wasn't stable or complete enough for someone to be up there. It happened multiple times. Was there someone there? This is one of those times, we couldn't really debunk, it wasn't safe enough. But to note, the location is fenced and has security and they have had no reports of any vagrants. So who knows for sure.
At one point we had walked away from the stair case and moved to the other side of this large building. As we were preparing for an EVP session and taking photographs, we clearly heard someone step heavily onto the metal staircase and begin coming up. Since we were the only ones on the property that would be in the building we ran to the staircase and shined our light on it to see who was there and there was no one.
We decided it was time to go back to the other side and continue our investigation. Looking into the darkness we saw what appeared to be a shadow moving back and forth. We know, a shadow in the darkness, but until you experience it you don't realize it is possible to see something darker than the natural darkness. We tired to photograph it but weren't able to capture what we were seeing.
It was time to go back to the first floor and investigate it. We went to a section that appeared to last be used to store hardware supplies and there our K2s started going off repeatedly for the two investigators that were standing there. We spent a LONG TIME trying to debunk the randomness of the devices going off, but there seemed to be nothing to explain it. We checked to see any power causing it to go off but nothing. It really seemed to like the two investigators and would respond upon request almost and then nothing. It was toying with them. We even tested that by sending in two different investigators and we could not get it to respond to them. However, when we sent the original investigators back, it began responding again. It really appeared to have it's favorites. You can see some of the video on our Facebook page too.
And YES, we did do EVPs sessions where we tried to see if we would get any kind of animal responses. Besides making us all laugh with our failing animal sounds (so much for being quiet during EVPs lol) we did not get any animal sounds. We did get some growling, but not sure if it was animal or human.
So all in all it was a great investigation and a first for our books! And a great idea for a horror story....
Until the Spirit Talks Again....
