Beattie Mansion

oh my. this was put on by Ghost Hunts USA (chips, chocolate, water, and soda!)and Apex Paranormal.

Michelle the physical medium from Farrar Schoolhouse was there. and Jacob, who was a medium. and Shannon, also a medium. Michelle can see everyone associated with property, past and present. Shannon can only see present occupants.

Michelle had bad feelings. she didn't want to take us to basement. told us we probably didn't want to sleep upstairs. she saw major shadow traffic in hallways and on stairs. she saw Charlie the boy in basement as he really is. She was asking Eliza probing questions. (was Eliza pregnant? did she poison her husband after the will that left her only the house or did he die of cholera like legend says? did he have a mistress? why are there 3 plots in their section of the cemetery...2 adult, 1 child?) she saw creeping shadow figures on the floor upstairs. while Tracy & I were sitting on floor upstairs. I did a live recording session. didn't hear anything. nothing on SB7 Spirit Box. did get a few orb pictures and videos. and lots of dust ones. also some weird blue light pictures. Shannon is doing research. she is drawn to this house.

Tracy and I heard a 'ting' sound in Room 5. this was built as a private family mansion. then it was The Home of the Friendless. (orphans, mothers, prostitutes. rumors of child abuse. unwanted children were dumped there and never picked up.) then it was an elderly home. can't remember the name, very flowery. it was a high status operation, supported by wealthy families. run by donation only. you had to have some means to live there. it was shut down in the 90s for code violations. the elderly were moved out, then it was a drug and alcohol rehab. then it sat empty for years. just abandoned up there on the hill. no one knew it was haunted. no one wanted it.

there is a confirmed death of a 7 year old girl who had the flu. the builder was the mayor of St Joe, a very influential man. the whole town shut down for his funeral.

Paranormal Lockdown shot there last November, but are having problems with their network so can't air episode. I am very excited to see what they got there.

Tracy saw a shadow figure dart into kitchen. got orbs on video rooms 20 and 5. no spirit box activity. we got a smell outside the room with the roses.

Michelle was pushed and rushed by shadows. Tracy, Jacob, Michelle, and I slept in the parlor. Shannon slept in matron's office. Tracy and I were the only guests who stayed all night. we met some interesting people. the man in black who kept feeling compelled to lie on the floor upstairs alone had a phone app that told him a spirit named Rose was on the couch with me and Tracy. I was meanwhile filming dust and maybe an orb or 2.

I left a doll for the child spirits. captured an orb on a piano. made a spooky trek down that long dark hallway to the bathroom when everyone was asleep.slept with the blanket over my head like Katrina on Paranormal Lockdown and about froze to death. it's gonna be a long hard winter, folks...
