To: The Olde Courthouse Catacombs
Dear Sirs,
Enclosed are the graphs for the Olde Courthouse experiment, which was conducted on October 31, 2000. I believe we have some interesting activity that is characteristic of haunting activity. I will explain each graph, and how it might be indicative (or not) of haunting activity.
The first place measured was the doorway in the catacombs leading to the old jail. Many people sensed a cold draft coming from the tunnel leading to the old jail. Psychic Lou Wright thought there was activity here. I tend to agree with this statement, as the static electromagnetic fields indicate. This site was called "Catacombs." The computer sampled this area at 40 times a second. No alarms were set on the computer to achieve a better audio sample on the 8mm film and VHS camera to document phenomena.
Channel 1: Infrared light sensor (IR): This is perhaps the most
strange thing of all the data recorded for the evening. I cannot
understand why the IR light should change in this area. The light
sources
that emanate IR light must have decreased in intensity somehow, then back
again, starting at just after 0.4 hours. Just before the 0.6 hour mark,
there are fluctions between 5 and almost 7 footcandles. I cannot explain
why this occurred, therefore it might be paranormal, or anomalous changes
in the environment.
MESAProject.org's Mission: Haunting
Haunting phenomena, including poltergeist-like episodes, has been defined as visual, auditory, and olfactory hallucinations; sensed presence, including the feeling of not being alone, or a touch; erratic functioning of equipment, usually of a mechanical or electrical nature; unexplained strong emotional episodes; and object movement. Haunting phenomena has also been described as "anomalous sensory experiences and physical changes in the environment" (Harte, Black, & Hollinshead, 1999).
