Wow, it's Tuesday already, and I feel like I've had a lost
weekend. We've been waiting for two
weeks to get all the adapters, cameras, and cables to set up an IR camera, daytime
camera, and microphones in the art room.
Last night, we finally had everything assembled, put it all together,
and it didn't work. In my mind's eye, I
could see me grabbing a hatchet and going Lizzie Borden on the whole computer
setup including the IR camera, web cam, cables, adapters, and the boxes they
arrived in! The computer, which I might
add, disconnects from Ustream at the slightest provocation and will be my first
target.
It seems that the adapters we purchased, which incidentally
took over a week to get here, do not allow the microphone that is on the IR
camera to work when plugged into the computer system for which the adapters
were purchased. Add to all this, the IR
camera is on permanent close-up, and would only be good if one wanted to focus
on spiders running around the edges of the haunted closet. After two hours of frustration, I decided to
shut everything down and go have a dish of ice cream. Today, after a good night's sleep, I'm back to my
somewhat sane self, and will order more equipment from Amazon.
I've received some interesting comments from people watching
and listening to my haunted art room cam.
It seems that anyone who listens to the microphone with good headphones
or good ear buds can hear whispering.
Some words and sentences do come through quite clearly, but much of the
time, it sounds like just a group of people whispering to each other. I've heard it several times now, and it is
creepy!
Today, I received an explanation by one person who does the
audio work for a television show about paranormal experiences. This is part of
her explanation:
I
also took the liberty of listening to your audio off the webcam. In all my
experience of doing audio I have never heard what I heard from your audio,
except once when I did the Mud House audio.
Very few people are aware of the phenomenon that I have named/labeled as
"Sounds beyond Silence" Only a few choice audio analysts know of it.
I witnessed/heard it at the Mud house and now again in your audio. In this phenomenon, the veil between life and
death is so thin that one can actually hear the sounds beyond silence in the
death realm. Whole conversations on the other side will be heard but not
audible. I wouldn't doubt that you have experienced many active spirits throughout
your home.
This is an excerpt from an
analysis of my house and situation by a paranormal team leader who has
investigated this house several times:
Caterina’s
house was filled with energy, readily apparent on our first visit. I mean good
energy, her personality spilled over into everything. Neighbors in her area experience similar
haunting. We call that a cluster. But,
spirits are like roaches, where there is one, there is usually more. They are
also attracted to high energy people. Caterina's house is a magnet for these
earthbound spirits. I have never
experienced a home like hers, where we can consistently anytime, catch Class A
EVP. And intelligent answers at that!
As I get the website, blog,
Facebook, and Twitter pages organized and updated, I will put more comments and
findings from the different investigations on the web sites. The above analysis was done by Vishi Garig of
C.A.P.E. Paranormal.
Barring any more unforeseen
technical problems, we should have the IR camera and new microphones working in
about one week. Until then, you can
watch the website and listen to the EVP's through the equipment on hand.
