Ghost Hunt Update: Congress Plaza Hotel – EVP Analysis Part 2

February 27, 2013 Jacob Rice Comments 0 Comment

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…

As we leave the area, a heavy static sound comes over the recording when…

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…

Ghost Hunting in Abandoned Buildings

People love abandoned buildings, especially those with a tragic past. We like them because they look the part of a haunted location. Neglect and our romantic ideas of ghostly activities begin. Old buildings are perfect for residual hauntings.

Not all cemeteries and graveyards are haunted but, in many cases, a soul still lingers for one reason or another. Beginner ghost hunters should pack up their gear and head to a cemetery for a perfect training experience. Get the scoop after the jump.

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…

Room 441 was the next to last stop in the south tower. This room is notorious for ghostly activity. It is the room with the most calls to security. There is reportedly a female shadow person, who stands at the foot of the bed. The spirit(s) may also move your personal belongings. Colleen, using…
