Ghost Hunting Process: Conducting an Interview (Research)

Ghost Hunting Process: Conducting an Interview (Research)

March 6, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

An interview is nothing more than a series of questions asked and answered to help understand the ghostly activities of a location. In the best case scenario, they are conducted in person with the people living in the haunted site. This isn’t always possible, so you can do a phone interview. I do recommend…

Ghost Hunt Update: Congress Plaza Hotel – EVP Analysis Part 2

Ghost Hunt Update: Congress Plaza Hotel – EVP Analysis Part 2

February 27, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

We finished the EVP analysis from the north tower of the Congress Hotel. I found three noteworthy events. First, the static overlap happened again when Colleen, the psychic medium, connected with another male spirit named Benny on the 8th floor. It wasn’t as strong, nor as long, as the tall man interference in the…

We reviewed the first hour of the south tower investigation and found some interesting items towards the end. There are continuous whispering sounds during the time Saleen and Colleen connected with James, the young boy spirit, on the 3rd floor.

Roles in a Ghost Hunting Team

Roles in a Ghost Hunting Team

February 24, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

I’ll be honest: We’re a duo. So, we have to do more than one job. When we go on an investigation, we call a friend with an area of specialty we don’t have. For most investigations, it’s just the two of us.

Ghost Hunting Outdoors

Ghost Hunting Outdoors

February 23, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

Ghost hunting outdoors is similar to hunting in abandoned buildings, but your chances for success are much lower. You also have an increased chance of gathering false evidence. You have to scrutinize your EVP data even more and your visual evidence needs additional scrutiny, too. In most cases, your shadow evidence can be debunked…

Ghost Hunting in Abandoned Buildings

Ghost Hunting in Abandoned Buildings

February 22, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

People love abandoned buildings, especially those with a tragic past. We like them because they look the part of a haunted location. Neglect and our romantic ideas of ghostly activities begin. Old buildings are perfect for residual hauntings.

Ghost Hunting in Graveyards

Ghost Hunting in Graveyards

February 21, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

Not all cemeteries and graveyards are haunted. In most cases, a ghost is energy that’s bound to an area it frequented in life. When a cemetery is haunted, it’s usually because the spirit is lost and seeks its body. In some cases, like Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery, vandalism has caused the spirits to become restless….

Ghost Hunting Conclusion: Congress Plaza Hotel

February 16, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

Image: Congress Plaza Hotel lobby, Chicago, Feb. 14, 2013. Update on 11/2/2013 – I accessed the Chicago Tribune archives to check on these spirits. Not every name was correct, but the events surrounding their deaths seem reasonable. I’ll add the event next to the spirits name. These events did happen, according to the Chicago…

Ghost Hunt: Congress Plaza Hotel Part 5

February 16, 2013 Jacob 'Jake' Rice

Image: Stairwell between the 7th and 8th floors of the north tower. The north tower had some interesting readings, especially on the 8th floor. It oozed high EMF levels. All readings hovered around 1.5 mG and we had spikes as high as 64 mG on the Mel Meter. Now, we were able to debunk…
