Evidence Of
Paranormal Activity Captured By Local News Team- 20081103

Last week, a team from TriCities.com, the
Bristol Herald Courier and News Channel 11 spent the night
hunting ghosts at The Tavern in Abingdon. Tagging along with
a local organization of paranormal investigators, the Haunt
Masters Club, the group filmed, blogged and tried to shine
some light on the numerous spooky sightings that have crept
up about this old and storied building.
After reviewing the video and audio recordings
from the night, the Haunt Masters found several anomalous
pieces of evidence indicative of paranormal behavior. The
most stunning of these is a video of a chair moving by itself
in a completely empty room. Captured by a remote camera placed
by the team, the wooden chair appears to scoot backward as
if pushed by some invisible force.
Along with the video of the chair, it was
discovered that another video captured the sound of a ghostly
muffled voice and three audio-only recordings contained unexplained
EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomenon.) These pieces of evidence
form a defensive case for the many anecdotal stories of hauntings
that The Tavern has garnered through the years.
Collecting these recordings was a task that
took all night, beginning at 10 PM with the last member of
the crew leaving the building at 7:30 AM. The night began
with sweeps of the building to collect “base readings”
– recording normal temperature, electromagnetic frequency
levels, and more. This allowed the team to have an understanding
of the general conditions inside the building to compare with
data collected later on.
After, the Haunt Masters began to set up their
recording equipment in each room with the TriCities.com team
launching a live webcam and blog to record the night’s
events as they happened. Work continued through the night
as more readings were taken and the team attempted to prompt
replies from the unseen during EVP recording sessions.
A full record of the night, along with the
all of the evidence collected and personal afterthoughts from
those involved can be found on the Paranormal Blog at TriCitiesBlogs.com.
