An Oklahoma Haunting ----Confidential Case---
Date:
March
21, 2009 and May 28th, 2009 History: This property was established in 1909 and has not only been a residence, but a business as well. We will be unable to go into full detail about this location for confidentiality reasons but we will share as much information as we can. In February of 1967 at this location, 2 detectives responded to a shooting. The detectives that worked the case said that the one thing that stuck out in their minds was the massive amount of blood found at the location. There was a woman who had apparently been shot in the head by her husband. The man was a bartender and he and his wife lived on site in the home addition of the building. Apparently a heated argument had taken place between the couple which led to the woman trying to leave the residence. It was at that point that the man pulled a gun and shot his wife which resulted in her death. There were some conflicting stories about her death. Some say that she was shot first in the chest area in the back area of the home and then again in the head as she was trying to leave out the front door entrance of the home. There was also conflicting information that stated that had died at the location while others stated that she died at the hospital. According to the detectives who worked the crime scene, the woman died at the location by the front door of the tavern. It was then that she was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
The man was tried and convicted of the murder of his wife and he was sentenced to life in prison. He served 11 years and was then released on parole in 1978. he was placed on unsupervised parole in 1981. It is believed that he died shortly prior to March 12, 2002 when he case was closed due to a deceased status. Things that have been reported by the business owners and their guests have been the following: · Sounds of footsteps when no one is there, chairs being put down on the floor when they are put up the night before, doors to the kitchen swing on their own and on many occasions they have seen shadows. They have even had the TV in the back dining room area turn on by itself. Shadows have also been seen and the caretaker of the building is convinced the building is haunted. What they don't know is by whom or what. They were also wondering if the ghosts were connected to anything or anyone from its past.
Our group
arrived at the location just a bit early so we could get a feel of the atmosphere of the
location before we conducted the investigation. The place
was much different when there were no guests and no lights
on in the building took on a much different feel. We were
left alone and able to get started with our investigation.
Most of the team knew about the history and murder that had
taken place at the location over 40 years ago and we were
all curious to know if any paranormal activity was there.
The kitchen was another area of interest because it was during this time of our sit down that our group saw a couple of shadows from around the side of the freezer area. We also heard audible voices that was not only of a woman but of a man also. During our sit-down we were asking questions and our audio recorders did pick up audible responses of a woman. On our 2nd investigation of this location we kept hearing audible voices all throughout our investigations and a couple of members saw shadows in various areas of the location. One of the more memorable shadows seen was when we were doing a sit-down in the front dining room area. There were 2 investigators who were looking towards the hallway in the front bar area when they both witnessed a 6 foot shadow in a man's form that stepped out into the hall and looked at us. He then ducked down as if to avoid being seen as he crossed the hall area. When he got towards the edge of the hall, he bent back upwards to an upright position and then disappeared. The details of his movements were very clear. We had stationary cameras set up but unfortunately the location where the shadow was seen was slightly out of the view of our hallway camera. One of the other times that was very interesting for our group was when we were doing a sit-down that was partially in the kitchen area and partially by the front bar area. One investigator was close by the swinging kitchen doors when he heard movement beside him. A couple of other investigator close by him also hear this. This loud sound was also recorded on our audio recorders and will be added to the site soon. Our group was unable to get any evp's recorded which stated directly the names of the male and female present there, however we did record several interesting evp's. Those evp's are: "Still down here" "Help me up" "And laughed"
When we were contacted about coming in and doing this investigation, we were told that there was a murder that had taken place there back in the 1960's but we didn't know any other details. I turned the case over to our researcher and he began doing research on the place. When we arrived our researcher had all of the information to verify things about the murder and the location. When I first entered the location I didn't really feel anything right off the bat. Myself along with the researcher and case manager, did an initial walk-thru of the location. While walking in the main dining room area I heard a rowdy crowd of people talking and laughing and I got a few glances of old wooden tables were people were sitting and having a few drinks and I knew this was only residual energy left in the location. After a short while I felt like we were being followed by a woman but she also seemed to keep a bit of a distance from us. We walked into the kitchen area and I was drawn to the back left side of the kitchen. I then saw a confrontation between a man and a woman and a gunshot was disbursed. Later we spoke with the detective who worked the case and although now a retired police officer and elderly gentleman, he stated that from what he remembered, there had been quite a bit of blood loss which was what had stuck out to him most of all. What was really disturbing was the evp that we recorded during this time. "Still down here" and "Help me up" Overall we cannot truly say the ghosts haunting this location are from its past, however we do believe they do have some sort of paranormal activity going on.
