The History of this Haunted, Haunted House

Built in the late 1800’s, but used for many different types of entertainment. With two ponds near by, it was strongly used for a local fishing hole. Throughout it’s life, it was a bar, a restaurant and was also known as a place that made moonshine and sent it off on the nearby railroad during the prohibition era. After the last owners passed away the house set for decades till the recent owners bought it, and turned it into a seasonal Haunted House. Now its spirit is kept alive due to it being once again, used for entertainment.

The Haunted Claims

Though there have not been many ghost hunters at this location. The resident owners and Haunted House works have experienced quite a bit. Such as false windows slamming shut, lights turning off and on by themselves, dolls moving and talking by themselves (with no batteries in them), Distant voices, Caskets closing on themselves, and even apparitions. How ever, the night Zodiac Supernatural went, more happened than has ever happened. During hours of operation, The Zodiacs were having a meet and greet. During this meet and greet lights stopped working, the music stopped working and made weird noises, and people all over were getting touched by things that were “invisible”. This has never happened before on a night of operation, and certainly was not the last thing to happen.

Our Haunted Experience and Evidence

Zodiac Supernatural experienced a lot of things inside this haunted house. One important detail is that since this place was built to be creepy and haunted looking, it caused the location to have a constant feel of fear. There was only a few things that were debunk-able for the zodiacs. However, there was a lot that could not be explained. Down below i will add bullet points of what was debunked, and what was not debunked, and what was questionable.

Debunked

• Voices across the house/
  The house is mostly made of fake walls and trapdoors, if someone talks in house it can be heard all through it. However this also has to mean someone else has to be in the house with you.

• Falling over nothing/
  The floor boards of this building cause a distortion affect, with a height difference in most rooms as well it causes a person balance to become uneasy.

• Orbs/Dust
  Most of the time, many orbs are actually hard to find. The difference is orbs create their own light, while dust is very see through and not normally a full circle. This house is full of dust. More for the creepy old house vibe it tries to use for its haunted house theme. But the causes major contamination for CCTV cameras.

Evidence

• Death of batteries/
  Almost all of Zodiac Supernatural devices lost all of it’s battery while being here. Normally we can expect one, or a faulty battery. Up to 7 devices died here with new batteries. There has not been any explanation for this, and almost none of these devices died this quickly again after this.

• Voices/
  While the thin walls make sense for voices, we captured voices on EVPs, that were not re-create-able. Also the team did not hear the voices while investigating either.

• Camera pull/
  While up in the doll room, Leo and Cancer experienced noises of movement in the room next to them. However, after this movement the CCTV camera that was in front of them got pulled. Other CCTV footage can show no manipulation in front of the camera, and after following the wire there was no one near them that could have pulled or accidentally tried over the wire either.

• Being touched/
  While setting up, Leo felt a hand press and hold on his back while in the butchers room. While upstairs in the doll room, Aries felt the same exact feeling. There was no one behind them, and we were unable to recreate the same feeling. Even while standing in the same areas.

Questionable

• Self falling drop walls/
  Many people have claimed this to be true. While trying to debunk the drop walls, the team was unable to recreate it. From jumping around the house, to having the walls set on a edge. The walls would not work unless applied around 10 lbs of pressure out, then up, then releasing it downward. Even if the drop wall was on its ledge. However the walls did not fall while Zodiacs was there.

• Breath on the neck/
  Almost each Zodiac felt as if someone was breathing on their neck. Though this was not repeatable without someone else there. We can not disclose that this is an old house and may have hidden drafts in holes of the ceiling.

• Doors opening by themselves/
  There were many doors that would open by them selves while inside this location. However, the doors were most made out of plywood and created to be light for quick movement. The age of the house has also created a slant in most of the rooms. Along with the weak floor boards it is almost impossible to conclude if/when the doors are manipulated by spirits or gravity.

• Dolls moving by their-selves/
  There are many cases where dolls are possessed by spirits. Even when the batteries are no longer working. We have heard many stories of this happening here. However, we kept two cameras in the doll room to watch each doll. Each doll has either corroded or no batteries in them. And no doll moved while the Zodiacs were there. However the claim is not disproved because of this.
