Here is my take on our trip to Waverly Hills I thought it was pretty active over half of the COGS crew had experiences and we are finding EVPs and even pictures of strange phenomina so far as we go thru the evidence.
Okay, so I have been working since I got home friday afternoon on the Waverly Hills evidence and I now have some of the pics up here
http://www.msplinks.com/http://tmbroadw ... y/album371 This time around I didnt take as many pics as I normally do because I was hefting around my camcorder for around 8 hours almost continuously during the investigation. I learrned alot about video techniques but I am already planning on spending more of my time next investigation with my first love the camera.
So how can I discribe my Waverly Hills trip? Dark, like almost cave dark in some spots, the hallways were especially Stygian on the first and second floors it seemed. The place also had several different atnospheres depending on which section and floor we were on. Tom my partner and his wife Alison were my entire team, COGS had five total teams including us, we had planed to have each team be 4 people but with some no shows and other cancellations we were down a few people the day of the investigation.
I heard more whispering here than on any other investigation yet. I am not sensitive but many times I would heard whipered words, like "hey" and many others I couldnt make out. I have just barely scratched the audio digital files at this point but already have some fine examples of EVPs that Tom will be getting up onto the website soon.
30 minutes into the 4th floor which was our teams first stop I had a personal experience where the sound of jingling keys charged me near the surgery and spooked me enough that I jumped into one of the rooms so as not to be run over! The keys sounds never seemed to pass by me although we did manage to get the sounds of the keys on the camcorder I was holding. I saw nothing the entire time although I did have the sence that something was bearing down on me fast! We searched the immediate area for 15 minutes trying to find some explanation and or to try to get it to repeat itself but without any luck.
Several members of COGS had personal experiences at Waverly, more than half the team had at least one while a few people had multible unusual encounters. Brenden was physically touched in the morgue, he said afterwards that he had always wanted to experience something like that,,, untill it happened. Three of the girls had their hair played with/pulled, Alison had it happen three or four times, the last time her husband Tom actually saw a couple strands of her hair float strait out from her head just before she felt it and jumped!
Our two sensitive members actually became physically ill during their investigation of the 2nd floor and had to leave the building eventually having to give up the investigation altogether.
Many shadows were seen to apear to move, some of them we debunked as being the wind in the trees outside, car lights somehow finding their way up the hill and other asorted mundane sources, a few however remain unexplained. I watched what apeared to be a fullsized shadowman duck into and out of a doorway at the end of the hall with Tom for around 5 minutes before the activity ceased and we walked down to investigate the room, no source for the shadows aparent movement presented itself.
