Report #666 – Initial Post by Mike Magner
Set-up went smoothly and quickly with the whole group pitching in to help out. No incidents noted during set up but the [REDACTED] themselves seemed pretty active!
On my second [REDACTED] I had a guest carry my DRO5 for live monitoring. Although, through user error (I presume), only 9 minutes of audio were recorded on the 35 minute [REDACTED]. However, it seems like we picked up a very interesting EVP (or 2 EVPs close in time which seem to be the same voice). Can’t make out the words though – sound like foreign language to me. The clips are in folder labled “sound snippets”.
Also, there was an incident in which there was a loud squeak heard on both the live monitored DRO5 on the 2nd floor and also picked up by the mobile DR-O5. Immediately after the squeak, one of the [REDACTED] reporting feeling very dizzy. I am not sure what caused audible squeak – maybe one of the pieces of our monitoring equipment spiking at the same moment. Anyway, the incident is included in the sound snippets file.
During the same [REDACTED] carrying the DRO5 also reported hearing growling in the basement, but the recording was paused during that time.
