Old South Pittsburg Hospital Paranormal Investigation 2

So how do you top being talked to by someone who turns out not to be there? I wasn’t sure we could really, but once everyone got back we put our DVR set up on the third floor and another surrounding the nurses’ station around ICU.

I put a trap camera in the clinic with a recorder, and we had another set up in the hall way in the geriatrics hall. As of this writing I have not gone over the recording placed by the trap camera in the clinic but do have two stories about how these cameras’s functioned.

First off, a trap camera for those who may not know, are the cameras that you see hunters use where they place them on a tree and set them to take multiple pictures when movement sets them off. I assume they have other uses but since I got them at the sporting goods store in the hunting section, this is how I relate to them. This one will also tell you the temperature as well as the moon phase on each picture.

Mine was set to take 5 successive pictures when activated. I turned it on and walked in front, I saw the light blink and the infrared lights on indicating it had taken its set of pictures, and I left it. The second camera, which is from another investigator, was set up the same way. Around 4am I retrieve the trap camera in the clinic and the back panel said “full” instead of displaying the number of pictures taken. I showed this to two other investigators with me and we were excited the 2g memory stick was full.

When the second camera was placed, it was noted the batteries were low but we had hoped to get a few shots before they actually expired, we had an IR camera pointing this way as well so we left it as is. The second camera when retrieved showed no pictures taken at all. Though we thought a little strange, we attributed it to the batteries and satisfied with the fact mine was full.

First thing Sunday I put the memory stick from my camera in the computer, I have never had one come back full and was excited to see what was there. After a few seconds of loading, I was shocked to see not a single picture was on the stick. None had been taken. Disappointed, I reloaded the stick in the camera and cut it on ad placed in on the floor beside me, a minute or so later I picked it up and had 15 pictures taken of me at my deck.

What conclusion can I draw from this? Nothing really unfortunately, I can’t rule out camera malfunction or user error. I can attest to personally seeing the camera take a picture in the beginning but cannot tell you I looked to see if the picture counter had registered them, I can also attest to the counter saying “Full” and I have not seen that before, but could have been a malfunction all together. I can tell you this for sure, it makes going back there much more interesting.
The night was full of experiences. KII’s going off as you walk down a hallway. Not just a couple lights blink but all the way over to red, several times real fast then gone. Mel meters registering high readings for brief periods then nothing, it was as if the hospital was still functioning at high capacity and you were getting readings of people as they pass by.

Two on our team saw a black shadow in a surgical room we were all in, we heard doors to the open stairway that were already closed, close again. Two investigators were touched and you could not escape the feelings of sadness, dread and loneliness as you walked through some of the areas.

We are scheduling an event there for early next year that I would highly suggest anyone with an interest in paranormal to attend and investigate with us. If you have a group already and can’t wait, contact Cindy Lydick, the absolute wonderful director of the hospital and set something up yourself.
