June Gloom Ghost Hunt

Jun 23, 2009 Author: Veronica | Filed under: babble, out and about, video

Back around the 13th of this month, you may have noticed me tweeting about going on a ghost hunt in Southern California. I never had a chance to explain what that was all about, so I received a lot of “WTF are you talking about?!” responses. My friend George Ruiz decided (apparently with the help of the Bui Brothers, who weren’t able to join us) to get together a bunch of bloggers and web video friends together for a trip to a “haunted” house. Now, I love ghost stories (even if I hate horror movies) and I’ve always wanted to check out a place that was supposedly haunted.

With the help of Team FISCH, a group of ghost hunters and paranormal experts, we went into the house in small groups (there were probably 30 of us all together). While I wasn’t on his team, Sean Bonner definitely had the best ghost hunting kit. My group was only equipped with video cameras and the gizmos that FISCH allowed us to hold. Here’s the video I took of my team’s trip inside:

And here are some photos:

You can also listen to some of the EVPs recorded on our run on Team FISCH’s Ning page, using the audio player at the bottom left of the page, and see all the tweets we posted during the evening. Now, while we didn’t see anything, there were points where I definitely felt the room get colder, and the hair on my arms stood straight up! I guess you can call me “ghost agnostic.” No matter what you believe, it was a lot of fun!

Thanks to Sasha Friedenberg for editing together my totally spooky video.

Why did you not use your nightmode White balance?
it would have made a better video, we would see more than pitch black

I checked the Ning page for the EVP’s but no luck. What gives?

I’m a dummy. It’s the playlist. Sorry.

@William — I don’t know, I didn’t think of it! Does the Flip mino have that? Never went looking for that setting.

Thanks for posting the video. This looks like a great thing to experience. It’s just too bad the video was mostly black but, at least we could hear everything that was going on.

The room got colder? How do you know that wasn’t just, you know, the A/C kicking in?
Veronica June 23rd, 2009 at 3:03 pm 13

Because all the power in the house was cut off. But yeah, could have been anything! I’m just saying it like I felt it!

Is there a ghost leaving the same comments over and over? Eric and Yaris?
Dean Amond June 24th, 2009 at 10:09 pm 17

Haha, nice catch on the identical comments V! I didn’t even notice them.

V,

When you at Dragon*Con, you should talk to some of the folks on my track, Ben Radford, and Alison Smith. They are professional researchers on all this stuff.

So far, no real investigative group has EVER found a hint of anything that would point to something ‘ghostly’ or paranormal, ever in history.

Go back to when you were a kid and remember the old TV Show Scooby-Doo…
