Graceland Too!

We began our investigation by setting up our equipment throughout the house.  In the Record Room, a Motion Detector was set up.  A MEL Meter and flashlight was set up on the mantle of the Portrait Room, while a REM Pod was placed in a corner of the same room.  In the Shrine Room, the camera and a Laser Grid (for shadow detection) were set up.  Phillip Knecht used two K2 Meters throughout the night.

We began the actual investigation together in the Portrait Room.  This was also the room where most of the activity occurred throughout the night.  At first, there was little activity in the Portrait Room.  However, on three occasions, we had left the room, only for the MEL Meter to activate in our absence.The activity ceased as soon as we returned to the room.

Video 1:  This is the first time the MEL Meter began activating when we were outside the room, but stopped once we reentered.

Video 2:  This is the second time the MEL Meter began activating when we were outside the room, but stopped once we reentered. “We have ourselves a ghost hunt!”

The greatest spike in activity occurred when both the MEL Meter and both handheld K2 Meters registered activity.  All three devices spiked for several seconds, and the MEL Meter registered 14.8 Miliguass, which is very high.  Immediately after the equipment activity, all three of us had severe chills for several seconds.

Video 3:  The most activity we saw that night.  Both the MEL Meter and both K2 Meters had a sudden burst of activity, followed by an intense chill effect for several seconds.

In the main hallway, Phillip and Megan experienced more chills, following by the most unusual and inexplicable incident of the night:  a loud sound began playing throughout the house for several seconds.  By consensus, we agreed that the sound was coming from the alarm system on the nearby wall.  However, the alarm system has been deactivated for over two years, and there was no power going into the system.

We conducted several spirit box sessions in the Portrait Room.

Audio Recordings:

Recording 1 (Spirit Box):

Sandy:  "Do you live here?"

Spirit Box: "I'm dead."

Recording 2 (Spirit Box):

Spirit Box: "Please! Leave!"

Phillip:  "Did it just say leave?"

Recording 3 (Spirit Box):

Sandy:  "How many, how many are here?"

Spirit Box: "Eight."

Sandy:  "Eight?"

Megan:  "Is that eight?"

Spirit Box: "Turn it off!"

Spirit Box: "Come back."

Recording 4 (E.V.P.):

E.V.P.: "Don't Let Them See Me."

Recording 4 (E.V.P.):

E.V.P.: "Phillip, it's just Phillip."

These sessions resulted in several interesting results, including hearing all three of the investigator's names.

Video 4:  Spirit Box session.  At the end, the Spirit Box inexplicably fails.

Two EVPs were picked up on the Spirit Box, and one very strong and loud (though completely inaudible to all three investigators) EVP, which says "Babalu", is heard on both the audio and video recording.

Video 5:  The strongest and most distinct E.V.P. of the night.  A voice which seems to say “Babalu”, at 0.16.  This was recorded on both video and audio.

The night ended in amazement of the level and type of activity, and the house and all three investigators were blessed before leaving.
