Ghostly Activities investigated the Georgetown Inn (Seattle) on June 5, 2020. Inside, we discovered ghostly activity in a 3rd-floor room. Get the scoop after the jump.

Georgetown Inn Walkthrough

These areas and activity included:

• mid-tempo, ragtime piano music in the main lobby
• visual anomalies in a 2nd-floor hallway
• strange audio phenomena in Room 226

When asked about deaths at the hotel, the client stated there had been people who died there since 1992, but there were no murders or other tragic events.

The hotel had also been in the family since it opened in 1992. They don’t know what was on the lot before the hotel was built.

Paranormal Investigation at Georgetown Inn

To begin, one ghost hunter and Ghostly Activities placed a full-spectrum camera in the 2nd floor hallway where the client reported visual anomalies (no anomalies detected upon review). There was also a digital audio recorder placed in Room 226, where audio anomalies had been reported.

Room 226 EVP & Engagement Session

After setting up the recording equipment, Ghostly Activities began an EVP session. Most questions tried to capture an evidential response (something you can look up from the historical record to identify a spirit).

The equipment included:

• EDI+
• Canon XA11 camcorder with Sennheiser MKE 600 microphone
• 2 PatrolMaster Body Cameras
• K2 meter
• Sony digital audio recorder

During the session, Jake heard something move a curtain that faced Corson Avenue (Shell gas station across the street). It sounded like a thump. A local ghost hunter tried to duplicate the sound and it was not the rod from the curtain. When she tapped the curtain, it sounded like the thump Jake heard.

Both investigators also heard some kind of static while in Room 226. The audio recorders didn’t detect anything other than the room’s ambient sound.

But during the EVP session, the 2 investigators heard footsteps above them in Room 326. At that point, Jake left to get a fob to enter the room and try to debunk it.

Approximately 5 minutes later, a local ghost hunter listened to Jake walk and jump in Room 326. The footsteps sounded most similar when Jake stood in a thinner area of carpet and kneaded his feet.

At this point, the investigators focused on Room 326.

Room 326 EVP & Engagement Session

More evidence was collected in this room. Over an hour-long session, Ghostly Activities captured the following:

• EMF spikes when asked if someone would like to sit on the couch
• EMF spikes when the investigators mentioned they would leave
• Geophone spikes (2x)
• Air pressure anomalies
• Something tapped Jake’s right shoulder when he sat by the window
• A DVP (direct voice phenomena) of a woman saying ‘what?’ (debunked)
• A shadow anomaly crossed the room’s door

There was a series where the evidence coalesced. At one point, the EMF meter spiked; the EDI+ captured pressure changes; Jake got tapped on his right shoulder; and, Jake heard the DVP. All 4 events happened within a 5-minute period. The video documents the activity at the beginning of this section.

UPDATE (June 6, 2020): Upon closer review, there is no recording of a woman saying ‘What?’. It appears to be an audio matrix.

After that, the activity started to slow down and EMF spikes became the most common phenomena. The K2 continued to spike when the investigator mentioned leaving or sitting on the couch.

About 45 minutes into the Room 326 investigation, the client entered the room and remained for 15 minutes. At this time, the guest investigators learned that Mrs. Kim, a long-time manager, passed away in 2013. She had lived on the property. At this point, we called the end of the session in Room 326 and went to the main lobby to test if there was any activity where Mrs. Kim had lived.

Main Lobby Session

This session didn’t last as long as Room 326. THe guest investigators discovered that Mrs. Kim lived in an apartment-like area behind the front desk. Now, the area had been remodeled. Previously, it had a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

The guest investigators didn’t capture any anomalies in the area at the time of this writing. The collective team briefly tried to mimic the music heard by the client, but nothing really matched the mid-tempo, ragtime piano music the clients witnessed.

At this point, the investigators continue to review their data for any evidence such as EVPs, apparitions or other ghostly activity.

UPDATE (6/30/2020): The local investigators did not provide any evidence to include in this report.
