The Marana Police Department isn't afraid of ghosts and has the audio to prove it.
On
Thursday afternoon, Marana Police posted a video to their Facebook page
of a possible ghostly encounter that took place over a recent radio
transmission.
According to the post, around the 19 second mark you can hear an unusual sound not identifiable to Marana's radio technician.
Some people even think the sound is speaking. Saying "stop talking to me."
But we'll let you be the judge of that.
Listen
for the unusual anomaly that was recorded during this recent MPD radio
transmission. Could it be a ghost? What do you hear it say? At the 19
sec mark, some people think it says "Stop talking to me." Our
radio technician listened to it and could offer no explanation. He said
it was not interference or picking up another frequency.
Disembodied voices. Strange lights. A file drawer opening on its own.
So, is the Morton Theatre in downtown Athens haunted, as numerous stories told over the years would attest?
Well, maybe, according to a report from Ghosts of Georgia Paranormal
Investigations, which uses an array of electronic equipment to
investigate unexplained events.
After spending the evening of Oct. 11 and the early morning of Oct.
12 in the century-old building at the corner of Washington and Hull
streets, and hearing and seeing some anomalous occurrences, the GOGPI
team reported: “With the claims of activity, personal experiences by the
investigators, the EVP’s (electronic voice phenomena) that were
recorded we feel like there is paranormal activity in the Morton
Theater. We cannot say it is haunted without a follow up investigation
to see if we can reproduce the claims of activity, personal experiences,
and to gather more evidence of paranormal activity.”
It’s not clear whether Athens-Clarke County officials will ask the paranormal team to return to the theatre.
“I can’t say we won’t, and can’t say we will,” said Jeff Montgomery, the county’s public information officer.
Staff from the county’s public information office were on hand in the theater for the October investigation.
If the team is invited back to the theater, their work won’t cost the
county, Montgomery said, as was the case with GOGPI’s October visit.
According to Montgomery, the team likes to document repeated instances
of unexplained phenomena before declaring whether a venue is haunted or
not.
The team’s work in the Morton Theatre can be seen in a 29-minute
documentary now airing on ACTV, the government-access cable TV channel,
which is Channel 180 for Charter cable subscribers. The documentary airs
daily at 1 a.m., 5 a.m. and 9 a.m., and at 1 p.m., 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Also, the full GOGPI report on the Morton investigation, including
photographs and audio recordings of some of the phenomena observed, is
available on the county’s website at Athens Clarke County.com Athens-Ghost-Hunt-The-Morton-Theatre
Equipped with a number of still cameras and video cameras, including
some infrared equipment, along with audio recorders, thermometers and
electromotive force meters, the GOGPI team actively investigated the
Morton Theatre from shortly before 10 p.m. on Oct. 11 to shortly after 4
a.m. on Oct. 12.
In addition to noting the group’s general findings — a “blue orb” and
a “dark mass” captured photographically, and numerous voice phenomena
(“most of them ... in response to our questions”) — the report included
personal experiences of the investigators.
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – A group of paranormal investigators say they
only investigate the most haunted locations. They came to Albuquerque,
to the Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Old Town, and they weren’t
disappointed. Some locals say the chapel is a special place – one with
positive energy and mysticism. Yet, a group of paranormal investigators
believe there’s a lot more to it than that. They say it’s haunted –
really haunted.
Some paranormal investigators say the Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe
is one of the most haunted places in the country and have the
photographs and audio to prove it.
On Sunday, a couple of Old Town ghost tour guides took a look at the
photos and the EVP’s or Electronic Voice Phenomenons, thought to be the
voices of ghosts.
“That was an interesting thing. I don’t know if that was, I couldn’t
tell whether that was an EVP or it just may have been someone else in
the background saying it, but it could’ve been,” says Old Town tour
guide Rick Walter.
As for the rest of the video? Guides Nancy Tudor and Rick Walter say they have no doubt the photos are authentic.
“I’ve seen orbs like that before, I’ve seen streaks of light like that before. I have no disbelief, I guess,” says Tudor.
“It’s very common,” adds Walter.
The two are very familiar with the chapel and the spirit said to roam the place.
“There is one individual who has been observed, they say, praying and
meditating in here who has been referred as the ‘Woman in Black,’ ”
explains Walter.
