EVPs

Photographic Evidence
As part of our investigative process we record and document changes in the environment. Some of these anomolies might be explained as electrical surges, dust and humidity affecting the lens of the camera, or fluctuating light sources creating mysterious shadows. Our video and electronic devices have supplied just enough physical evidence of the paranormal to keep us coming back for more. None of these examples constitute irrefutable proof of the afterlife but we present them so the viewer can decide.
The Wayside Inn, Sudbury, Room 9. At 3:08 AM the Static Field Meter registers activity only moments before our investigators spotted a shadow figure projected onto the bedroom door.
Oliver House, Middleborough. Master bedroom, second floor. At 9:20 PM the infrared camera caught what appears to be a face floating in front of the doorway.
The Wayside Inn, Room 9. At 10:30 PM one of our members left the room through this doorway to make a call. She never left the hallway and could see that nobody had entered. Something turned the door latch while she was on the phone.
Gilson Cemetery, Nashua. Three consecutive photos were taken with flash photography but this fog only appeared on one of them.
Gilson Cemetery, Nashua. We discovered a bright light showing on one image shot with flash photography. Believing it was a reflection of the tin can sitting on the rock wall, we tried to duplicate the effect by shooting from the same angle without success.
Jeremiah Lee Mansion, Marblehead. At 9:00 PM the clock at Nearby Abbot Hall sounded its chimes. The caretaker, who lives in the area, made a comment about hearing that sound at 3:00 AM. Bob’s cell phone immediately lit up and changed its display of the time to 3:00 AM.
The Wayside Inn, Sudbury. At about 2:30 AM a shadow passes across the rear wall. Although it looks like the motion of a passing car, quite a few of them drove by the inn and none of them cast a shadow on that wall.
