Asking Questions

The footage from our asylum trip isn't ready to share just yet, but I found a couple interesting things worth sharing.

First, former Ghost Hunters member Donna LaCroix speaks out against the show. I have to say this took me be surprise. I've certainly heard the rumors of TAPS faking evidence for the show, but I never imagined things had gotten so bad.

Second, we have more from HauntedHoax; a paranormal IQ test, and some words about matrixing and surveillance videos:

North Quad Laundry Room

Well, our trip to the asylum was fun but uneventful. With the end of the semester fast approaching, it looks like we won't get to go on any more trips this semester. In an attempt to do one more investigation, we're going to have an EVP session in the supposedly haunted ADK north laundry room.

So, this Saturday, Nov. 21st at around 11:55pm, we're going to start our investigation of the north quad laundry room. We might not find anything, but at the very least it should be mildly entertaining.

Professor Java's in Albany

Could this be a future location for us to check out?

Even the Professor Java website hints that there have been ghost sightings.

And it was featured on the local news.

Asylum trip meeting place

Everyone who wants to go to the asylum on Nov. 7th, we'll be meeting up around 4:30pm at the main pick-up/drop-off point of the ADK parking lot, near the ADK lounge. We'll leave around 5pm, and return around 7pm. I encourage everyone to bring your digital camera if you have one, and let everyone know if you manage to snap a picture of something spooky.

Also, since it was requested, I'm going to see about getting us out to investigate the cemetery or Stanley Theatre before the semester is over. I'll let you know if I get any progress made there.

Let our nerd powers combine!

Utica Asylum Trip

Our first planned trip of the semester! Woo! Better late than never.

The Utica Psychiatric Center has a lot of history, and allegedly a lot of ghosts as well. The building is condemned, so sadly we won't be able to go inside to investigate. However, there is still fun to be had exploring the grounds and taking photos of the majestic architecture. And who knows, maybe if we're lucky we'll see something unusual, too.

The trip will take place on Saturday, November 7th, the week after Halloween. We're going to start planning for the trip at this week's meeting, in the Campus Center, Tuesday night at 9:15pm. I've got a test poster I want some opinions on, and we need to see how many vehicles we have to work with for transporting people.

Meeting location change

We agreed on this at tonight's meeting, but just so it's in writing:

Next week, we meet at the Cat's Den. Sorry, I won't be buying you food.

More Locations

Shadowlands Haunted Places

This is probably a better list to work off of than the last one I linked to. Some of the best prospects on the list for Albany: the Capitol Building, the Education building, Professor Java's Coffee Sanctuary. And of course, there's always my old stomping grounds Marist College, but that's a bit farther away.

Locations in Utica: an old GE building, old psych ward, Stanley Theatre, and St. Agnes Cemetery. And I thought there was nothing to do around here. :)

I'll look into contacting some of these places to see if we can set up an investigation this month.

No Shortage of Locations

This page a friend referred me to has a ton of haunted locations in New York State. It takes a while to load, though, so maybe just wait for me to go over it at the meeting.

Speaking of which, we have a meeting tomorrow night in the ADK lounge. I mentioned this, right? Hope to see you there.

ADK Lounge Reserved

Meeting in the lounge this week. Still Tuesday at 9:15.
