History:                                                                                                                   

This building has a unique history, some known and some not know.  The owner of the building told us a gruesome story about its past.  When this building was first constructed, it's original intent was that of a church, which was never fully constructed.  Later in 1930, the building was sold and made into a local school.  For privacy reasons, this school's name will not be listed.  Years later the building was then sold to individuals who converted the old church/school into a home.   The home was occupied for many years until its  history turned tragic.  On this property also stands a few other buildings, one which was constructed and used as living quarters.  It is here that the building's owner Mike, told us about his cousins tragic death.  The police ruled the death as suicide, but Mike & his family believe  otherwise...they believe their family member was murdered by a couple of his "so called friends."  The picture to the left is the outside building where Mike's cousin died.                          

 Mike & his family haven't lived here for years and mainly use the run down building for storage purposes, but Mike stated that he has had some strange. occurrences happen here not only in the past but in the present as well.  He told us different stories and one of recent that caught our attention.  He told us that he & a friend went out to his old home to get a few things and heard doors slamming with footsteps & also had a window that completely shattered in front of him with no apparent cause.  He also mentioned a chair in the hallway area spinning viciously around & around.  He & his friend both ran out of the building and refused to go back.  Mike contacted OKPRI in hopes that we would come out & investigate the building and explain to him exactly what was going on.  Ah but another opportunity for OKPRI and one that we just couldn't resist!  At 12:08am while leaving the inside of the main building, the whole hallway that connects to the living room area brightly lit up like if someone had flipped on a light switch and then quickly turned it off.  There is NO electricity in this building.  No one flashed a camera or turned on a flash light and all other external sources were checked but no reasonable explanation could be found.

This is an amazing picture, one that we have no explanation for and by far was the most intriguing photo of this whole investigation.  While taking pictures of the stairwell, this face was captured looking out from underneath the stairs.  There was no one under the stairs when this picture was taken.  There also appears to be another fleshy colored figured just to the right of this face but we cannot determine exactly what it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psychic Investigator's Comments:

This was a very interesting investigation.  When we first pulled into the driveway of this location I immediately saw several spirits.  There were 2 particular ones that caught my attention at first.  One was on the roof and the other was on top of an old bus that was parked in the driveway.  They kept a defensive stance as if on guard for the place.  I got out of my vehicle and went to walk by the old bus when I felt hands close in around my neck.  I didn't say anything to anyone about what I had seen until later when other's reported feeling "creeped" out when they walked by the old bus windows.

Upon  entrance to the building, I saw several different spirits, including a few children that were very shy & did not wish to speak.  Most of the activity seemed to be centered around the back bedroom area and what I found most fascinating was that there seemed to be a whole community of spirits living on the property.  Each having different personalities existing and working together to form the "community" .  Each seemed to be so caught up in what they were doing that they didn't care to take time out to talk to me.  There was however one spirit in particular who came through acknowledging that he was Mike's cousin.  He told the sad story about what had happened to him.  He confirmed Mike's intuition about his death being a murder  instead of a suicide, but asked me to ask Mike not to get upset about his death because he was a lot happier now and that he believed the people who  had killed  him had caused  his death accidentally.  He also revealed to us that he was terminally ill and that he was glad he had died when he did so he wouldn't have to suffer later on.  It was during this time that we recorded an evp that says, "That's Me & Mike"  Mike was relieved to hear from his cousin and felt like he had closure to a mystery that he had been wondering about for so long.  A few days after the investigation, OKPRI presented the recorded evidence that we had gotten and Mike was very happy and stated, "I knew I wasn't crazy after all!"
