Columbus,

| Author: Tyra |
| Team Members Present: Kurt,
Cindy, Tyra, Kim, Kimber and Jason |
Claims:
It is stated that there is a little girl (around 14 years old) present
and they have traced her back about 18 years but do not know the story
behind it. They have found objects in personal belongings that have
never been seen before, unexplained noises (footsteps and such) and
full-body apparitions (so vivid that they are able to describe her).
The activity is noted more on the massage side of the salon. There
have been a lot of feelings of being watched throughout the building.
Three of the employees in the building are known to be “very much
tuned into her” and claim to have actually communicated with her
during meditation. Doors have been known to open and close on their
own for unknown reasons. She (the little girl) is known to pace back
and forth in front of one of the classroom doors during tests. Objects
and money have been known to be moved and then reappear within the
next few days. Tyra personally had experienced extreme feelings of
being watched for over a year and a half (before she knew anything was
going on there) as she cleaned in the evenings. She had a pair of hair
clippers and a washing machine turn themselves on while cleaning one
night and the feather duster in her back pocket was played with (moved
back and forth and up and down) several times within about a 2 or 3
minute period during that same evening. |
Property
Summary:
The
commercial building is probably 60 years old. There are currently two
businesses occupying the building. We were informed that an electrical
company previously occupied the building. The White River runs
approximately 1000-2000 feet behind the building. |
Environmental
Details:
There were storms in the area during the investigation. |
Investigation
Details:
Kurt,
Kim, Tyra and Kimber arrived around 7:30 PM, talked with Beverly and
began set up. Cindy and Jason arrived around 9:30 and assisted with
the completion of set up.
We broke off into two teams and began getting baseline EMF readings
throughout the building at approximately 10:00 PM.
Two IR cameras were placed in the building. The first one being on the
salon side near the lobby pointing down the hallway, and the other on
the massage side in the classroom pointed into the hallway. Jason and
Kurt inspected the appliances that had turned themselves on for me and
it is unlikely for them to accidentally turn on as the power buttons
are not easily moved into the on position.
Team 1 - Tyra, Kurt, Cindy and Beverly (Shop manager)
Team 2 - Jason, Kimber, Kim
Right from the very beginning of the EMF sweep Team 1 was in the back
of the shop, Tyra and Kurt were checking out the restroom while Cindy
and Beverly were checking the kitchen. As Tyra and Kurt came out of
the restroom and turned to head toward the front of the shop the EMF
detector began spiking for unknown reasons. At the very same moment,
Cindy started experiencing chills in the kitchen while at the exact
same moment the walkie-talkies started screeching and a girls voice
was heard (but was it was undetermined what she was saying) as well as
a man’s voice saying “hello” three to four times during this
electronic phenomena. This lasted approximately one to two minutes and
then everything stopped as abruptly as it started. This all happened
at the exact same moment of each other but was noted in the order
above.
Tyra was unable to recreate the EMF spike in the hallway where it had
spiked in the beginning of this phenomenon.

The teams met after the baseline sweep and took a break. After the
break we closed all doors in the building to see if we could catch one
opening on it’s own, then split into groups to begin the
investigation.
Team 1 – Cindy, Tyra, Jason
Team 2 – Kurt, Kim, Kimber
Team 1 started in the massage lobby with an EVP session. They noted
that the EMF spikes intermittently with the EMF detector that was
lying in the hallway near the classroom where the girl has been known
to pace by the door during tests. The team found an area in the carpet
that looked to be seamed under the EMF detector. It was determined
that it is possible that there could be a wire under the carpet
causing the detector to go off, the spiking was inconsistent but was
determined not to be paranormal. In review of the EVP session in this
hallway, Tyra found that there was a female voice whispering, “Sit
here.”
The team moved through the hallway and into a little area outside of
two massage rooms at this point. One of the doors in this area was
open a little (but had been closed by the team prior to anyone coming
into this area to investigate). Cindy and Tyra started off in this
area, then Jason joined a few minutes later. Right as Cindy and Tyra
were starting the EVP session and was tagging the area there is a
wispy voice saying “_____ area” as if it were trying to help
describe the location they were in.
We also heard several noises, like someone walking down the hallway on
several occasions, but Jason believed that could be the ceiling tiles
making noise as the heat turned on and off.
Team 2 started their investigation on the salon side of the building
in the hallway. They conducted an EVP session and took pictures. Kurt
mentioned on two separate occasions that he could hear a heavy
breathing sound. Kimber thought she heard it at one point as well. Kim
noted that she did not hear anything. In the face room, they noted
getting very high EMF readings just above the massage table. They
discovered that the source of the high EMF was an electric blanket.
They thought it was strange that during the initial sweeps of the room
there were no EMF spikes and wondered how the blanket turned on. In
the room with the big mirror, Kimber had an experience where the bed
she was sitting on began to shake. They found no cause for this. They
made sure to thoroughly investigate the laundry room since one claim
is that the washing machine turned on by itself a couple of weeks
earlier. Nothing unusual occurred during the investigation of this
room. They made sure to cover every room on the salon side of the
building.
We took a 10-minute break and then the teams switched sides of the
building, team 1 took the salon side of the building this time and
team 2 went to the massage side.
Team 1 started back in the sauna room. During the EVP session we were
hearing noises and traced it to outside of the back door. We were able
to determine that it was the tires on the cars driving down the road
making a humming noise. The team then moved into the water room and
sat in there for a few minutes, with nothing notable happening in
there. The team moved on into the facial room (Jason) and the room
across the hall from it (Tyra and Cindy). During the EPV session in
here Cindy noted hearing a noise that sounded like door closing
slightly and you can hear a whisper say “can’t you hear?” During
this same time Jason noted seeing something blocking the light at the
bottom of the door at the end of the hall on the massage side through
the glass door for about 15 minutes as if something was walking back
and forth in the hallway in front of the door. Team 2 was contacted on
the walkie-talkies to find out what their location had been for the
past 15 minutes and they were in the front of the building during this
time. Team 1 then experimented with different scenarios to try to
debunk this. Jason went outside while Cindy and Tyra stayed in the
hallway to see if his walking in front of the door outside would
completely block the light at the bottom of the door. It was found
that it did not match what he was seeing as you could see the shadow
at the bottom of the door, but could still see the light in front of
the shadow and it was not blocking the light. He noted it was a
complete block out and reappearance over and over for a solid 15
minutes. It was determined that this could only be happening from the
inside of the building to have the appearance that he was seeing, but
there was no one in that area at that time. The reason for this is
still unexplained and could not be debunked.
After break, team 2 began their investigation of the massage side of
the building. Again, they covered each room and noted no unusual
occurrences.
At this point the teams met up, took down and packed away the
equipment, re-opened all of the doors that were supposed to be open
and left the doors that were supposed to be closed, closed,
double-checked that all of the lights that were supposed to be left on
were turned back on. We locked up and left.
When the cleaning crew (which was Tyra and Kimber) went in to clean on
Sunday (2 days later) there were several noises, one of which was the
sound of someone running down the hallway on the massage side, Tyra
and Kimber were in the men’s restroom together and there was no one
else was in the building. On Monday, Beverly called Tyra and asked why
all of the doors on the massage side of the building were closed when
they came in Saturday morning. All of the doors were open on Saturday
morning when the team left, as the team members made several passes
through the building to ensure everything was left the way it was when
we entered for the investigation…but every one of them were closed
by the time the shop opened on Saturday morning (just a few hours
later) even though no one had been in the building between those
times. It was also noted by Beverly that there was a computer mouse
that was completely missing when they came in on Saturday as well. |
Summary:
Paranormal
activity at this location is possible, as we did capture some possible
EVPs and one unexplained episode with the EMF levels during the
walkie-talkie phenomena. We did not however capture concrete evidence
on video or in pictures. |
