Lockport Residence --- December 2nd, 2011 Lockport, NY Once again, our team headed out to the Northtowns, this time, for an investigation on Lower Mountain road. The couple who reside in a home there were concerned with activity that they have been experiencing and how their 2 year old daughter has been acting. Their claims range from their daughter staring at the corner of the room at something that is not visible, yet she seems to be reacting to, the daughter waves and talks to "someone", they see shadows, hear scratching from the walls and thumping noises, unusual dreams with no memory of their actions in the morning and the lid to the garbage can moving back and forth. A group of four team members set up the equipment and conducted EVP sessions, throughout the night. Digital photos were taken and digital recorders were left in different areas of the home. The second floor contained a room that was set up as a "man cave". The client has been unable to spend any time in it because of experiences he has had and an overall "bad feeling", when in there. The door stays shut. The EVP's we captured were all recorded in the "man cave" with only one investigator present. The other three team members were on the first floor. Take a listen and determine what you hear. We present to you a set of photos taken in the master bedroom, in succession. Note what appears to be movement in the right top quarter of the photo. Interesting. Many thanks to our clients who gave us their trust with a situation that is not always easy to share with others.
Tonawanda Residence --- November 12th, 2011 Tonawanda, NY This investigation was our second one, at this residence. Our client opened her doors to us, again, in hopes of capturing further proof of her experiences. Our first investigation was very exciting and yielded some very interesting EVP's. We approached this investigation with a group of four team members. We set-up our equipment in areas of the client's interest and conduct many EVP sessions during the night. The home seemed to be very quiet and peaceful. We concluded our investigation in the early morning and knew we would have hours of audio/video/digital to review. That's a given! After each member completed their review of recordings, we had no evidence to present. Disappointing?.....without a doubt. Happens?.......all too often. That's the reality of this passion. On to the next! We are thankful to our client for inviting us to return to her home, so graciously, and for extending an open door to return in the future.
Tonawanda Apartment --- October 29th, 2011 Tonawanda, NY For this investigation, we were contacted by a young couple who experiencing a high level of alleged activity. This location took our team to the northtowns, to the Riverview Manor Apartments. We had a team of four present to investigate the claims of this couple which were as follows; footsteps, running sounds heard from the second floor apartment above them, crosses missing, voices, items moving, doors slamming, black shadow in the baby's bedroom, cold spots, water faucets turning on and an overall negative atmosphere. We checked for the possibility of high EMF readings, however all checks showed no abnormal readings. A few personal experiences were noted that night. While conversing with another team member an investigator heard her name whispered into her ear and several incidences of shadow movement were witnessed in the baby's room. The majority of the captured EVP's were recorded in the baby's room. We had the opportunity to place video/audio equipment in the vacant apartment above the client's. Nothing abnormal was discovered on those devices. Our thanks to the couple for contacting us and for their trust in us to investigate their claims.
Sloan Residence --- October 28th, 2011 Sloan, NY This was our second investigation at this residence. The owner had invited us back and has offered us the opportunity to return whenever we would like. We went to see if we could continue to capture some fantastic evidence of activity. Our initial visit was amazing. This investigation proved not to disappoint us. After hours of review and several different "ears" deliberating over each recording, we came out with 6 EVP's we could not debunk. This time most of the clips were captured in the basement. This is a location in the house we did not spend alot of time in during our first investigation. Check them out. We always leave the interpretation open to those who listen to them. Huge thanks to our client for opening her doors to us and for her hospitality. We do meet and get to know some awesome people!!
Orchard Park Residence --- October 14th, 2011 Orchard Park, NY On October 14th, our team was requested to conduct an investigation at an private residence. Activity claims ranged from missing items, moving shadows, voices, cats reacting to an unknown source and the presence of a little girl. Two investigators handled this case. During the investigation, neither had any personal experiences. The home was very quiet, yet we know that doesn't always mean alot when it comes to capturing and audio/video recordings. Fortunately in this case we did capture one EVP. The digital recorder was placed on the top stair of the staircase to the second floor. We were conducting a dowsing rod session, asking that if any one was present to please let themselves be known. After I say, "clear please" you will hear......well you make your own judgment. It just happens to be where the little girl has been seen in the home. Once again, we thank the owner and tenant for allowing us the opportunity to check it out!
Buffalo and Erie County Naval Park --- September 9th, 2011 Buffalo, NY USS The Sullivans (DD-537) & USS Little Rock (CLG-4) On September 9th our team and guest investigator, Chris, joined with Eastern Paranormal Society, explored the U.S.S. Sullivan and the U.S.S. Little Rock at the Buffalo Naval Park. We were allowed seven hours to investigate these magnificant ships in a way no regular tourists are allowed. We were in hopes of capturing anything that may not be explainable, during our investigation. Each of us had our own personal experiences and some of them were captured on audio. Listening to the history of these ships and touring them from deck to deck, gave us a new found respect for those whom served our country during their commision. Our thanks to EPS for this joint investigation, our guest investigator and to the Buffalo Naval Park for allowing us the priviledge to explore these amazing vessels. Check out our EVP's and see what you think.
USS The Sullivans & USS Little Rock
Sloan Residence --- September 2nd, 2011 Sloan, NY We were contacted by this home-owner, primarily, over concerns she was having regarding her 6 mth old grandson. There were occasions where, after hearing crying from the baby through the baby monitor, that they discovered a blanket neatly placed over the baby's head. Other reports were anywhere from shadows, to voices, noises, apparitions, chairs moving, doors slamming, footsteps, physical contact and reactions from her dogs. Our first concern was over the baby's well being, so within 4 days of meeting with the homeowner we conducted our investigation. What we experienced was a very active house. We had personal experiences that could not be logically explained and that were witnessed by one or more other team members. We found the EVP's that we captured to be very impressive. After listening, you can come to your own conclusions. We would like to extend our thanks to our client for opening her home and her life up to us in hopes of discovering some answers. We would additionally like to thank her for her hospitality.
Old Fort Niagara --- August 5th, 2011 Youngstown, NY http://oldfortniagara.org/ What a honor it was to conduct an investigation at this historic fort! We were also fortunate enough to join together with another paranormal team EPS (Eastern Paranormal Society) and Debby, our guest investigator. The history surrounding us and the freedom to explore each area of this fort was phenomenal!! After setting up our night cameras and breaking into teams of two or three, we set out to capture evidence of days gone by. Our guide, Jason was extremely helpful and accommodating to our needs. Some of us had personal experiences, while others did not. No video evidence was documented, however audio proved to be the opposite. The EVPs posted here are those of the best we captured that we were not able to debunk. We hope you enjoy them. Towards the end of our night/morning the resident bats decided they'd had enough of us and chased us out of the buildings, so we continued the investigation in the cemetery from the War of 1812 just outside the fort walls! We encourage other groups to investigate Old Fort Niagara at some point. There is a fee involved, but the money goes to preservation and keeping the fort running. Our thanks to EPS and Debby for joining up together and to Jason from OFN who made sure our investigation ran smoothly.
The French Castle
Tonawanda Residence --- May 13th, 2011 Tonawanda, NY We were contacted by this homeowner to, hopefully, get to the bottom of an abundance of activity her and her son were experiencing. Debby and Paul could not have been more accommodating and welcoming to our team. the range of activity they were experiencing encompassed voices, noises, apparitions, shadows, object movement(both witnessed and when not present), to feelings of being uncomfortable and threatened. The negative feelings that they felt were what upset them the most. We went in with our sensitive and 5 other members. Video was set up and the monitor was located outside so that we could send 1 team in at a time so as to decrease audio/video pollution. Our sensitive met with Debby and Paul and confirmed her 'impressions' to what they were experiencing, as well as additional personal history! She felt through-out the investigation that there was nothing negative in presence in the home. After review of all data, no video or still picture evidence was captured. On the other hand, we did capture over a dozen EVPs which included clips from our first trial with a ghost box. Take a listen and see what you think. We were pleasantly surprised. We would like to extend our thanks to Debby and Paul for being so open and sharing with their lives. We appreciate the opportunity to help them feel at ease, which I feel we accomplished.
Collins Residence --- April 29th, 2011 Collins, NY We were contacted by the owners of this home with some concerns of activity that they had been noticing and felt maybe affecting their two granddaughters. Naturally we wanted to get in there quickly to help out anyway we could to put their minds at rest. They had experienced how their cats were reacting negatively to a certain room, touch lamps turning on, and a fear a granddaughter had of a bedroom. We did our usual set-up of cameras and with a team of 4 investigating we divided into 2 teams. One to be in the home and one outside, switching in and out throughout the night. The environment was very welcoming and comfortable. Quickly enough we began to hear unexplained sounds and witness an abundance of shadow play. Our EVP sessions backed up sounds heard and we even caught a few surprises! The night proved to be very exciting. K2 activity was present with documented positive response to prompting by one of our team members. Our thanks to the home owners for their kindness and flexibility while we investigated their home.
Historic Palmyra --- March 18th, 2011 Palmyra, NY What a fabulous opportunity we had to have our whole team available to investigate these two historically drenched buildings! We broke off into 2 teams of four and, after a wonderfully informative tour from Bonnie and set-up by tech., set out on our way to tackle the entities who they say remain there. Many personal experiences were documented throughout the buildings. From the attic to the basement, each member of our team heard or saw something. This is defiantly a location we all agreed will be somewhere we want to revisit. The knowledge and hospitality that Bonnie and her husband extended to our group was greatly appreciated. They are two terrific individuals and we thank them. Posted you can hear the EVP's we captured during our investigation.
South Buffalo Residence --- February 18th, 2011 South Buffalo, NY Our Investigation here was prompted by a photo that was supplied to us by the family. Check out the photo on our evidence page and see what caught our attention! ...After receiving this picture through an email, we contacted the family and asked if we could conduct an investigation in their home. At our Pre-investigation interview we were engulfed in experiences the family has had since living in this home. Everything from voices, to apparitions, shadows, object movement, temperature changes and physical contact. We expected to have an incredibly active experience. Unfortunately, aside from some personal experiences (seeing a shadow cat, feeling goose bumps.), the night was very quiet. Our team switched positions throughout the home to make sure everyone had a chance in this highly active home. But as those involved in the paranormal know, we are only going to experience what the spiritual world is willing to reveal. Upon review of our EVP sessions, we were not disappointed. Check out our posted EVP's and tell us what you think.... Our thanks to the family who opened their doors to us when we were the ones who came knocking.
Evergreen Association and AID's Community Services of WNY, Inc. ----November 20th, 2010 Downtown Buffalo, NY http://www.aidscommunityservices.com/ In October of 2010, we were contacted by the Director of Marketing and Special Projects for the Evergreen Association and AID's Community Services of WNY. Contact was made requesting our group to investigate their building on S. Elmwood Ave in Buffalo. This beautiful structure was a home dating 1854. You can imagine what kind of possible history it absorbed over so many years, through so many changes. Not only was it a home, it also saw its days as a flop house for 50+ yrs. and a vacant building for 8 yrs. People who work there were experiencing strange feelings and sounds. For example; footsteps; cool air, alarm triggering etc. The kind of activity that strikes an uncomfortable cord with individuals who are used to a buildings "usual" creaks and bumps. This investigation involved our entire team. Not only did they open their doors to us for their building, but an additional building they own, around the corner. When they explored this building they discovered what was once a 'speakeasy' in the basement! Exciting! We conducted many EVP sessions at both sites throughout our investigation. The most active concentrated area....the speakeasy. Personal experiences indicated within the audio recordings were also documented. When we left early the next morning, we didn't feel confident that we captured much. After analysis, however it was a different story. Check out the EVP's we captured and see what you think. Once again we'd like to thank Chris and Margie from "The Victorian" for presenting us with this rare and phenomenal opportunity to explore beyond their wooden doors.
Niagara Falls, NY --- October 10th, 2010
This investigation took us to Niagara Falls, NY. A quiet neighborhood on Whitney Avenue. We were contacted by the family who lived there with concerns the mother was having. She and her boyfriend had experienced banging to the degree that they felt someone was trying to break in, knocking on the floor of their bedroom while they were in the living room directly below, doors opening and items being moved around. The family contacted us to see if we could help them either stop the activity or just substantiate that something was going on beyond normal incidence. Six of us entered the home in the evening and setup our equipment. The family left for the evening to allow us full canvassing without any unnecessary polluting of our audio. EVP sessions were held in all rooms, on all floors. The result was, one of the quietest homes we had been in. No personal experiences, no recorded evidence of any kind. This doesn't mean that what the family experienced was fabricated. It only means that nothing happened while we were there. A disappointment? Yes! To be expected? Naturally. We thank the family for opening their doors to us.
Iron Island Museum --- August 13, 2010
Buffalo, NY www.ironislandmuseum.com It was great to get back to Iron Island Museum.This time we had the opportunity to get up into the attic. An area that wasn't quite so easy to access in the past. Video taken during the investigation resulted in no evidence. Nothing Questionable. Pictures, while capturing dust particles, were insignificant. Audio recordings, again, gave us great satisfaction. As usual, going through audio, what you think maybe paranormal in nature turns out to be easily solved. Those that remain are pretty impressive. "Shadow man" had been identified, since the last time we were there, by the name of Edgar. We are honored to have had Edgar respond to us through an Evp session. As always, we encourage everyone to listen to what we present and come to your own conclusions! We on the other hand, continue to consider Iron Island Museum quite active with spirit entities!
What can I say About this location. First we have to say a big Thank You to Carol who met us at the museum gave us a thorough run down of the history of Valentown and the level of activity through out this massive landmark. From the impressive barn in the basement to the third floor ballroom, we covered rooms with our video, conducted multiple EVP sessions and took many photos. Some of us had personal experiences however our evidence of activity comes from our Evp's. After reviewing all our audio we were able to justify many "Evp's" we captured. On the other hand there were some incredible recordings captured that we just could not solve. We believe there is paranormal activity occurring @ Valentown Museum. Because of its size and the surrounding grounds and building next door, we hope to get back and see what else is there waiting for us. Check out the Evp's and determine what you think!
3rd Ballroom & Stage Area
South Buffalo House ----- March 20, 2010 South Buffalo, NY This was our 2nd trip to this location after being notified by the occupant, that activity had died down after we had been there, had begun to start up again. The same experiences were noted: sounds, footsteps, movement overhead. There was one change, however. The door to the attic in a crawl space had been moved into the back of the attic and buried under some items. Very strange but we love strange and agreed to return. There were 6 of us investigating, we began at 7:30pm and ended at 4am. Nothing more then a few personal experiences were reported. All in all it was very quiet and, to date, the homeowners say it remains that way.
Cleveland House ---- February 05, 2010 Cleveland, Ohio This was our furthest venture in investigating, to date. This happened to be a private residence rented by 4 college students. Many occurrence were reported since the day they moved in. From footsteps, to noises, to moving of furniture heard overhead, to lights turning on in a closet. Many times a closet door was known to open and close on it's own. This was witnessed by more then one individual. We headed to Cleveland with a team of 7. We were so excited to investigate this hot bed of activity, we could hardly wait for lights out! Unfortunately it was one of the quietest evenings and morning we had experienced. No video activity, no unusual photos and no personal experiences! Disappointing, but we all know that investigations are not a Broadway show where someone calls Action!, and the production begins.
Tony rome's Historic Globe Hotel & Restaurant ---- January 23, 2010 East Aurora, NY www.tonyromesea.com What a privilege it was to return to this historic structure and do a thorough investigation. We had a full team, with the exception of Ryan, to canvas from the basement to the third floor. Many personal experiences, from hearing sounds, seeing lights dim and glare several times to hearing a woman singing a tune in one of the dinning rooms. Fortunately we did capture several EVPs. How many local historical sites do you know that has a sealed tunnel from the underground railroad in it! This came as an exciting surprise. With our sensitive investigating she was able to pick up on some spirits we were unaware of. It is our collective conclusion that Tony rome's Globe Hotel & Restaurant is a treasure chest of spirit activity. Our thanks to the proprietor for allowing us access to this gem!! We can't wait to get back again and crack open the lid!
Outside the Globe Hotel
West Seneca House---- November 7th, 2009
West Seneca, NY At this location, we were contacted by the renters who have been experiencing a lot of activity. From cold spots, to apparitions, to voices and footsteps, the location seemed “crammed” full of experiences. The clients’ children had expressed that they too were touched by the activity. We set up our equipment and conducted the investigation…Unfortunately; we did not capture any evidence of spirit/paranormal activity on digital audio, video or in personnel experiences. Our conclusion, although we do not in any way minimize the clients own personal experiences, was that we found no evidence of paranormal activity. There are a few theories out there that could explain the lack of activity. Spirits rarely show up on cue. Entities will do what they want to do when they want to do it. Some spirits shy away from people other than the family it is attached to…..many times it takes more then one investigation to capture anything.
SouthTowns FarmHouse ---- September 19th, 2009 Eden, NY The client reported shadow people, footsteps and various other activity while growing up in this house. We used our new night vision cameras for this case, full team and had a full night of digital recordings to review. Unfortunately we did not capture anything on video cameras. 2 of our members did have personnel experiences. The house was so incredibly quiet. So quiet it was almost loud! As far as EVP's go, we caught quite a few. Our youngest team member proved almost to be a magnet attracting spirit energy. Our team agreement is that this house is active with spirit presence, however not to the degree it was when the client was younger.
SouthTowns FarmHouse
Tony romes Historic Globe Hotel & Restaurant --- August 22, 2009 East Aurora, NY We joined another paranormal investigation team to plan and do a preliminary investigation of this 3 story historic structure in East Aurora. Reports thru the years and recently are of full body apparitions, voices, and objects being moved The results of this early investigation reveled no significant findings. EVP recordings were very noise polluted from the business on the first floor. Both teams agree that a return investigation when the business closes early is required. A meeting with the owners is in works to set a new date.
Buffalo Central Terminal--Buffalo, NY------May 23, 2009 Tonight I joined the members of TAPS @ the Central Terminal in Buffalo, NY. What an honor it was to be allowed into this massive, gorgeous, weathered and vandal beaten structure. Not everyone is afforded this opportunity with the company I was among. I never thought I would be joined by hundreds of others. On the plus side it was a thrill to roam the vast floors collecting data and doing readings to my hearts content. The drawback would be the ignorance and ill-mannered camera and flashlight warriors who were only there to get a glimpse of Jason or Grant or Steve, Tango or Kris! If an apparition danced infront of them on cue, it would have made their month! Between the flashing of the cameras(like the papparatzi), the munching of snack food and the overall noise level, it was near impossible to get any unpolluted recordings, pics or time alone on anyone of the floors we traveled to. The TAPS members were as nice and gracious as could be, the structure is incredible and to have that experience alone made the night worth it. I came away with no evidence of any paranormal activity, but who could. Kudos to those who were successful. After the third camera pointed in my face flashed because someone thought I was a apparition, I called it a night and went home!

South Buffalo Home------ March 6, 2009 South Buffalo, NY Our investigation at this South Buffalo, NY home was brought to our attention from a friend. Since the day they moved in, noises and a presence were detected. Happenings were to the point that when only one person was home, they thought the other one had come home and was causing a commotion on the first floor. Seems that when someone is upstairs, sounds and activity occur downstairs. When you go check out the first floor, the same starts to occur on the second floor. Somewhat playing a game. One of the experiences the homeowners had were as follows "Johnny (names are changed to protect client identity) and I were home alone. Johnny came running up to me upset and said someone was making noises in the computer room and that the chair in the room had moved itself." (Johnny is 3 years old)--Well that was all we needed to hear, unfortunately there were only two of us available to go on this investigation. The family gave us the home for the entire night. After we arrived, before we had recorders out, we were doing an EMF sweep and suddenly from the second floor a loud bang rang through the house. Sounded like someone slamming a cabinet door shut. Figures! A personnel experience with no back-up. Anyways we did catch a few EVP's. Check them out. We will be returning to do a second investigation with more team members involved. Watch for that submission!
Iron Island Museum----- Feb 27, 2009 998 Lovejoy Street Buffalo, New York 14206 www.ironislandmuseum.com
Iron Island Museum was our very first investigation. What a great place to go and conduct an investigation when you're first getting started. The people who run the museum are awesome to coordinate with. We were able to split into groups of two or three to capture any activity. We were hoping to catch the famous "shadow man" on an EVP or in a photo, however he seemed he seemed to avoid detection all night. We did gather some very interesting EVP's, which was very exciting. One photo leaves a question for us. See what you think of it. This was taken after an extremely "gloves off" provoking!
Iron Island exterior
This photo was taken in the Central Terminal Room leading to the attic, during a provoking session. 'Something on the lens?'.. not in the pictures taken before or after, lens do not clean themselves. Two other people have same angle picture taken at other times during the night and they do not show the black image just above the framed picture..?? {click photo to enlarge}
