An Old Building In The Woods

This was our very first investigation. I found this place on another groups website and figured it would be a good spot to train. Its very easy to get to and very wierd.

Its located behind Richmond park in Grand Rapids. All you have to do is follow the old railroad tracks to get there.

At this point in time we have no way of knowing what this place use to be. What we do know is that somebody went to great lengths to seal it off. The whole building has been sealed in a box! It seems that there would be easier ways to  get rid of this old building. Like maybe bulldozing it. So the question is why?

During our visit we noted EMF reading of 2mg to 7mg on top of the building by the old lighting fixtures. We searched for source of power coming into the site, but failed to find any. I also picked up a temperature change on the wall with the warriors logo. One spot was 2 or 3 degrees cooler than the other and no I wasn't measuring the metal beams, the whole area was in the shade. I must also add that the close-up pic I took of that area turned out solid black. Hmmm!

All in all it was a good trip and we learned alot. We didn't find anything paranormal that we can prove this time, but will back again thats for sure. We will also be researching this place to see if we can find out any more information about it. 

UPDATE!

After reviewing the audio that was captured that day we have captured our first EVP's. Thats right EVP's. We were lucky enough to capture 3 different EVP's this time out. They are as follows:

#1 I was asking if anyone could tell me what this place was, and after about a 10 second delay a voice says "No Way!"

#2 We caught someone saying "What!" There was no reason for anyone to be talking at that time.

#3 Matt was up top checking EMF readings from the old electrical system and he say to me that he's getting a seven. I reply ok a seven and a voic that was not ours says "Seven".  We listened to this part over and over and it was not an echo, the voice is different from either of ours.

With that we decided to make a return trip out to the site the following week to run a few experiments. We will post what we found soon. 

 

Update #2

A medium from another local group (G.R.A.P.E, look in our links) had a chance to visit this site and this is what she had to say:

"I didn't pick up much.  There seemed to be the spirit of one male.  He was middle aged in the 1950's.  I kind of gathered that the 50's were the time period that he was reliving.  I get that he would have been some sort of security.  He had this feeling like he would walk around the edge of the building (the foundation that is there) and that he had a desk that he would sit at.  He made it feel as though he would come, watch, and leave.  I don't have the feeling that he had anything to do with a slaughter house.  I feel as though he may have been placed there to look after the facilities and make sure that things remained secure.  He made it feel as though it was a lonely job.  He didn't speak or mention anyone else.  That's about all I got.  I couldn't even get a name out of him.  But I definitely got the feeling as though he walked the entire premises making sure things were in order."
