The Lost Church

( A Past But Not Forgotten Investigation )

HISTORY:
This church was built somewhere around 1901. Before this church was abandoned in the 1920's, it was an African American church during a time of racial segregation. The location of this church is located in a country area, miles off any main road. There isn't a whole lot of background on this church other than a list of members (now all deceased) and stories told by the previous owner. It has been said that this church was once very strict, and its preacher would even use belts to discipline the children. The church was abandoned after the preacher had a heart attack and died inside the church. Some believe that the preacher, along with some of his congregation still visit the church in spirit.

Below are 4 AMAZING Photographs that were taken in sequence.  If you look closely enough, it looks as if there is something that starts and begins to grow from picture #1-#4.  These pictures were taken after Christy heard a man say "Bitch" and later when developed, the following photographs were discovered.  We also have the negatives to these photos and if you look at the negatives, each form looks like a bunch of circular balls of like (almost like a grape cluster) which forms each image. 

Data Collected
Photographs: Several positive photos (Please see above photos)
Video: No positive video captured by PICO
Evp: Very successful in Evp

Psychic Investigator's Comments:

This was a VERY interesting place to investigate.  I can say that this abandoned "Lost Church" produced more evidence for us in all my investigating years.   I personally witnessed loud footsteps & knocking come from within these old walls along with witnessing flashlights being turned off & on by themselves, blood on the church floor,  laughing from children, music and so much more.  I very strongly noticed a congregation of people here, although not always together at the same time, very faithful to the church.   What got me most was the children still present here as they seemed happy but yet unaware of the present surroundings.  I also felt great respect & reverence from the "old church going members" here.  There were times however that they're welcome light was not on & we felt like we were not allowed to come inside the doors of the church.   This will be one location that I will forever remember!  This has to be one of the most "haunted" locations that I have ever been too in all my years of investigating.
