Another successful investigation has come and gone.  We had a great time in Yorktown, Texas investigating the Yorktown Asylum.  More new friends were made and some interesting experiences were had.  We even welcomed our first international investigators.  Jose and Cecilia drove up from Mexico to join us on their first ever investigation.

The scariest part of the night for me, personally, was the SPIDER that crawled up my pants.  Imagine my horror!  For those of you who haven’t met me, I ain’t afraid of no ghosts, but a spider will send me running for the nearest Jack-in-the-Box before Todd can even get there.  Now that’s fast!  I can’t even watch “Charlotte’s Web”…the CARTOON version.  That’s how scared I am of those evil eight-legged creatures.  Anyway, enough on that subject, I’m getting the heebie-jeebies again just thinking about it! 

So here’s a rundown on some of the experiences we had:

From Callea (JustASeck):

“Todd and I were by ourselves in the operating room area.  We kept seeing a face with no body.  It seemed to move around us as if it was circling us.  Todd described the face as Captain Howdy from “The Exorcist”.  I thought it looked more Phantom of the Opera-ish, but since I’ve never seen “The Exorcist”, he could be right.  We began to feel a huge sense of dread in the area as if we really weren’t welcome.  That’s when Todd asked me to feel his shoulder.  He was literally trembling all over.  His whole body was shaking uncontrollably. 

I told him he needed to move away from that area, but he said he couldn’t move.  He felt frozen in place.  I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away from the spot.  Nothing.  Then I tried pushing him really hard, then immediately pulling him towards me to try to throw him off balance.  Nothing.  He was stuck!  I know he’s a big guy, but come on, that move always works with my 1000 pound horse, so it should have worked on him.  I said the White Light Prayer under my breath, then grabbed his arm again and pulled with all my might.  I’m surprised we didn’t land in a heap on the floor when he finally came loose.  Lol!

Once he was able to move again, he walked around the room and then ended up right back in that same spot, again frozen and trembling.  This time, before he was able to move, we heard several distinct knocks on the open door right next to us.  I’m not really sure what happened in that room, but it really creeped me out!”


From Darriel:

 “Kyle, Cecelia, Jose and I were on the first floor during the first rotation and we kept hearing clicking noises coming from one of the patient rooms (room 149).  Initially, when we heard the clicking we all deduced that it sounded like someone turning on a switch of some sort, and when we examined room 149, we all noticed that the light fixture above the bed seemed to be out of place.

The light was attached to a metal arm that went into the wall just above the bed and could be swiveled in different directions and angles over the bed itself. We were convinced that the lamp part (where the bulb would go) had been facing straight down the first time we saw it, but after the clicking noises, the lamp part was facing US.

Later, we took a break and just before our group rotated to the basement, the four of us crept over to that room ...and lo and behold the lamp was facing straight down again! IT HAD MOVED again!! We were so excited!!  I pulled Audrey aside later since her group would be the last one on the first floor and asked her to set up her video camera in there. I cannot wait to see if she caught anything in that room!”


From Cheryl (Ghostychick):

“The end of the night found us all gathered in the chapel to try a shack-hack session.  Amanda led this and soon the spirit trying to talk to us turned the conversation to a personal note for me.  I will always wonder if it was my grandmother that came through or something else.  It turns out Yorktown started out as a convent for nuns from Poland. My grandmother was a nun from Poland. and left the order to marry my grandpa.  I'm planning on doing some research to see if I can find out if she was ever in Yorktown.  From what I know she spent all of her life in Maryland after coming here from Poland but to be honest it wouldn't be the first time I found out that there was something I never knew about my relatives. Gotta love mysteries!”


From Glenda (Glenhov):

“We had the most activity in the labor and delivery wing of the hospital.  I took one of the hospital gowns they offered us and one of the draping sheets and hopped on to the gurney that was left in the delivery room, I even put my feet in the stirrups.  As soon as I laid down it felt like the room was moving and I had a really unhappy feeling in my stomach.  Don't know how to describe it, I wasn't in pain and I wasn't nausea, it just felt wrong.  Then Julie got up on the gurney and something tugged at her jeans.  A couple of us also thought we saw someone in the little room beside the delivery room where they flushed stuff.  Duane also felt uncomfortable in the hallway between the delivery room and the nursery.  I'm kinda excited about that, I'm so glad he had some kind of an experience.  At the very end of the night, around 4:30 am, as we were all walking out of the chapel I could have sworn I saw a face in the hallway, no body just a face.  It freaked me out a little and I didn't even think to get my camera.”


From Xan:

“In the kitchen, Steve and I were doing an EVP session and when Steve asked if anyone was there, a noise happened. Steve said, "Thanks can you do that again?" and the same noise happened. We tried to debunk/recreate the noise and we couldn't. My feeling is that with all of the broken windows, opened doors, and windy conditions, it is hard to say if it was ghostly communication.

Here is the funny in this scenario. While Steve and I were trying to duplicate the sound, Steve was looking into the freezer. I reached above his head, behind his back and moved the freezer door to check for sound. In retrospect, I should have warned my tough biker husband that I was going to do that...but I didn't. He jumped so high and when he came down, his arm went across my chest, and I was shoved out of the path of his full sprint across the kitchen. If there were any ghosts in there they had to have been laughing as hard as I was.”
