2010 Pre-Halloween Spooktacular

Just a reminder, our first official event of the semester is fast approaching. This Sunday night at 8pm is our pre-Halloween party. I've got candy, and a few other goodies. There may be a ouiji board, but I can't guarantee it right now. I'm kind of relying on my sister to bring it from home at this point. :/

Anyway, I look forward to seeing everybody there. Costumes are optional, so go ahead and dress up if the spirit moves you (pardon the pun). Happy Haunting.

It's Alive... ALIVE!

I know, it's been a while. Well, I was busy before finals, and the beginning of this semester was hectic. But, I digress.

Hello, fellow ghost hunters! IT Paranormal Investigators group is back. Better late than never. If you're on campus, you'll be seeing my crappy posters soon enough all over the place. Group meetings this semester will be on Wednesday nights at 9:30pm, in the Adirondack lounge.

Anyway, we have a lot of cool events planned for this year, so look forward to a spooky semester.

Beardslee Trip

Alright, this is a little overdue, but I figured I should mention our last trip to Beardslee castle. Our timing could have been better, as they were having a murder mystery dinner event that night, but after talking with the people who work there, it sounds like we may be allowed back in sometime. So, we're tentatively planning to return for a full investigation sometime in the fall.

Hey, if nothing else, we did get a nifty group picture out of it.


Our plans for our next trip this semester involve St. Agnes Cemetery. I'll update on that once we have a date set.

Haunted Hoax - Poltergeists

Here's a new vid from Haunted Hoax. He's a little preachy as usual, but there's some interesting stuff.

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.

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.
