Today is September 16, 2007, Sunday. I have been receiving a
few emails from people who read my articles and they have asked why I don't have
HPI investigate Sutter's Fort. Supposedly, there have been EVPs picked up
in and around Sutter's Fort, where a man is yelling that he needs his rope.
Another EVP picked up the galloping sound of horses. When I read the
emails, I knew it was time to do a scouting mission. I called upon HPI
Paranormal Investigator-In-Training / Scout / Sensitive / Ghostwriter: Athena
Quinn. Yes, Athena is a ghost writer in her own right and has ghost
stories of her own experiences published at various ghost websites. Athena
says she is my fan and I am her fan
too.
The equipment we would be using this day is 'Listen Up,' which
enhances sound, and a digital camera. As we walked around Sutter's Fort,
which was prominently active from 1839-1850, Athena feels a fluctuation of
energy in certain areas of the Fort. We take time to pause, so I can learn
when she was aware she was a sensitive. She tells me that when she was 4
or 5 years old, she became aware of spirits around her. She was able to
pick up on their energy. She has also lived
in a haunted house growing up. She has explained this story
in one of her articles. While living in this haunted house, she witnessed
objects moving from one area and deliberately placed on a table by an invisible
force. She saw the apparation of her baby dog Jellybean. She also
has the gift of psychometric. Her brother collected foreign coins and he
could place them in her hand and she was able to tell him what country the coin
came from.
As
I got the basics of her life, we continued to investigate. At one tower of
the Fort, she felt a presence and was able to see a dark silhouette. At
another corner of the Fort, she felt death and violence in the immediate area.
What was interesting, we both were drawn to that particular corner of the
Fort. During our investigation at the Fort, I took no unusual photos, nor
did I hear any EVPs with my sound enhancement device.
But,
things were a bit more interesting at the Pioneer Congregational Church.
As I stuck my sound enhancement device through large wooden gates into the
church, I picked up a voice of a small boy, I heard footsteps and a cabinet
opening. I heard a moan that sounded like a man's voice. When Athena
tried the same thing, she heard a double thud noise and a choir singing inside.
The church from all practical purposes was empty of people. The
reason why we probably couldn't pick up EVPs at the Fort, is that the Fort was
closed when we arrived and we couldn't get inside, plus the sound of moving cars
and people walking around added a lot of interference. With the Church, I
was able to squeeze my sound enhancement device through the crevice of the door,
eliminating any outside sound interference.
I
would like to look more into Sutter's Fort/Pioneer Congregational Church, but I
think it needs to be investigated during late hours, when the traffic dies down
and people are asleep.
