Investigation: Kings Park Psychiatric Center - Kings Park, NY

It took me a while to analyze the footage from Kings Park Psychiatric Center- months! With all the background noise, EVPs were much more difficult to pick out. But as I expected, they are there. And some other things happened...



Result:
 The Kings Park asylum is most definitely haunted, and by many ghosts. Having been open 111 years, and had over 9,000 inmates at one time, it's no surprise.

Civil War Prison Camp - Elmira, NY

Today I did a solo investigation at the Civil War prison camp in Elmira, NY (Hellmira), which is rumored to be haunted by the Confederate soldiers who died there. Armed with only my camera (too much noise for EVP, and the live electrical wiring underground will cause false EMF readings), I walked around the area where the soldiers with polio and other serious illnesses were sent to die.

I took several photos while I was there, and recorded video. I did have some personal experiences- a gut feeling that occurs in the same place every time I visit, seeing things in my peripherals, and my camera stopped recording for no apparent reason. However, I did not gather any solid evidence, and this is not enough to work with.

Results:
Inconclusive. Further investigation necessary.

Jackson Sanatorium - Dansville, NY

This is the trip that changed everything for me. 

A photographer friend of mine got some EVPs while exploring the abandoned Jackson Sanatorium in the past, so I figured I'd try my hand at it and came back with some amazing results. 

All I did was explore the building with my camera recording (HD video). Meanwhile, many things happened.. 

Note: 

1) This clear whisper I captured several times has not been edited. This is exactly how I recorded it. 

2) I did not hear the voice until I checked my footage later. Isn't it awesome how it said things, then I repeated? [read more: clairaudience] 

3) At the time it felt very much like someone was giving me a tour, though I was alone. I did not feel frightened, just intrigued and wanting to see more, despite the dangerous condition of the building. 

4) Chris did not hear the BANG! that sounded like a door slamming, and none of the doors in the building were capable of doing so- they were broken and falling off their hinges. When I went to walk toward Chris's voice, it seemed as if I was drawn back toward the sound of the slam, and later led higher up into the building. I saw the roof, with no EVPs, but the view was beautiful. 

5) The voice returned one last time in the basement, when I was looking for my flashlight. We then continued to explore in the dark, looking through curtains, clothing, and old sauna boxes, with a chair inside and a hole for the head. What a find!  

So is Jackson Sanatorium haunted? 
Yes, and it can be considered an intelligent haunting. 

This was most definitely a successful trip, and the one that made me want to keep searching for more.
