Michelle received an ominous message at the end of her pregnancy. “I remember it to this day,” she begins. “I was 8-months pregnant with my first son. It just seemed like a nightmare, but I was awake.” Michelle and her husband, Dick, had recently moved into a new home in Blue Island, Illinois. It…
We finished the EVP analysis from the north tower of the Congress Hotel. I found three noteworthy events. First, the static overlap happened again when Colleen, the psychic medium, connected with another male spirit named Benny on the 8th floor. It wasn’t as strong, nor as long, as the tall man interference in the…
We reviewed the first hour of the south tower investigation and found some interesting items towards the end. There are continuous whispering sounds during the time Saleen and Colleen connected with James, the young boy spirit, on the 3rd floor. As we leave the area, a heavy static sound comes over the recording when…
I’ll be honest: We’re a duo. So, we have to do more than one job. When we go on an investigation, we call a friend with an area of specialty we don’t have. For most investigations, it’s just the two of us.
Ghost hunting outdoors is similar to hunting in abandoned buildings, but your chances for success are much lower. You also have an increased chance of gathering false evidence. You have to scrutinize your EVP data even more and your visual evidence needs additional scrutiny, too. In most cases, your shadow evidence can be debunked…

Not all cemeteries and graveyards are haunted. In most cases, a ghost is energy that’s bound to an area it frequented in life.
Image: Congress Plaza Hotel lobby, Chicago, Feb. 14, 2013. Update on 11/2/2013 – I accessed the Chicago Tribune archives to check on these spirits. Not every name was correct, but the events surrounding their deaths seem reasonable. I’ll add the event next to the spirits name. These events did happen, according to the Chicago…
Image: Stairwell between the 7th and 8th floors of the north tower. The north tower had some interesting readings, especially on the 8th floor. It oozed high EMF levels. All readings hovered around 1.5 mG and we had spikes as high as 64 mG on the Mel Meter. Now, we were able to debunk…
We had an experience on the 3rd floor of the south tower. Saleen, who’s psi-sensitive, and Colleen connected to the spirit of a little boy named James. Image: Saleen making contact with James on the 3rd floor of the south tower. To paraphrase Colleen’s information: James died violently in the hotel. He was shot…
