The Ghostec team had the pleasure of revisiting the school we had investigated in late December of 2007. The entire team was on board for this trip.

Alice and Joe went about taking photos as that is their specialty. Scott is also a great photographer for the team. Sandy and I started recordings in as many of the rooms as possible to capture what school staff had experienced there. The rest of the team set up the laptop in the cafeteria and began interviewing the two staff members who were there to let us investigate.  Gary and Nanci arrived a bit behind us and could not really set up the still camcorders because of the lighting. It was still light outside and just too much open area light to run the IRs.  It is a difficult place to do much with IR cameras because of security lighting that must, by law, remain on. Gary and Nanci did get some classroom footage in the dark later in the evening.

At that point, Nanci, Jonathan and I went to the exercise room where there is weight-lifting equipment. On our first trip there we had experienced a small jump in the EMF readings with some slightly cool drafts in that room, but we did not get anything on this trip. Sandy and Susie went to a teacher’s classroom where whispered names have occurred. Their efforts returned no evidence.

There was only one incident and this could have been human error; maybe… most of the school classrooms had been unlocked for us. As I was walking down the hall, I decided to check in on Sandy and Susie.The classroom door was locked. When I told the staff member about it she was shocked. She told me she had personally unlocked each one and it has to be with a key. When Nanci and went into the weight room, we checked the door before we closed it and the same thing had occurred. Now, in and of itself, that is not remarkable but those were the two rooms where we experienced activity on our first visit to the school. Was an unknown entity trying to keep us in or out of those areas? Was it a coincidence? We do not know.  We are always ready for things that do not seem normal and that did not.

We analyzed all the recordings, the pictures and combined it with our personal feelings for a second time. Whatever is there is probably a residual energy of someone from a long time ago.  It does no harm and seems to repeat its actions over and over.  The toilets flush, sometimes a chair moves, the name of a teacher is sometimes whispered or called out loud, classroom doors open during a closed class, and the footsteps go down the hallways. We had a long conversation with our two staff members and told them what Ghostec member opinions were.  We feel they were satisfied with our conclusions. They are resigned to simply say to the unseen visitors... come on in and join the class.  Even the students are comfortable with this sort of co-existing.

We always like to talk about our feelings and the human experience as we wind up an investigation.  There are a couple of rooms where we had an uncomfortable feeling and some rooms that had very warm feelings as we wandered around that evening. As we gave our staff the room locations, they we almost certain we picked up on the energies of the teachers or students... all alive and well.

Impressions are: There is nothing harmful about the ghostly happenings in the school.  We cannot scientifically prove they exist but we cannot prove they do not.

We thank our friends at the school for having us again. The hospitality is so appreciated. The sharing of your stories with us was wonderful.
