Minutes of Audio used: 37

Minutes of Video taken: 320

Number of Positive Photos: 15

Number of False Positive Photos: Numerous

Number of EVP recorded:  6

Phenomena captured on film: Numerous orbs were captured on all of the types on media used to gather evidence. Some of the orbs were interesting but because of the numbers captured none could be authenticated. The dust was thicker than last year. In several of the photos there were orbs in motion. This was interesting and significant in that there were other orbs in the picture that were not moving. We did capture some interesting EVP data virtually on every floor. Every time one of the investigators asked for a noise to be made in an effort to communicate, a noise was recorded. Some distinguishable voices could be heard on at least five of the EVP’s. We set some traps for spirit activity with cameras rolling on each one. The three balls set on the fourth floor did draw some attention and orbs in motion were captured on video.  

 Summation:  We entered the building at 7:00 pm. There were 23 Spirit Seekers investigators present for the investigation. We divided in to five teams consisting of four investigators and the three remaining SSI staff were not assigned to any certain team. They acted as resource managers floating between all teams. Floor assignments were made and each team was told they would be changing floors every 45 minutes until we had all been on every floor. We wanted all of the teams to have the chance to experience paranormal activity wherever it was found. Violet was allowed to enter the building first with Robin to explore at will. Violet was the team medium for this project. She made contact in several areas as the night progressed. There were other spirit sensitives scattered throughout the five teams. Every team had something paranormal happen to a team member.

The pictures we took were for the most part contaminated due the abnormal amount of dust. We did manage to make some very interesting captures. The best picture was taken on the 5^th floor by Investigator Polly. This was Polly’s first investigation. This photo clearly shows the face of a patient looking out of one of the rooms. By analyzing the photo closely I feel that this is a picture of a non-human. A very close second best photo was taken on the 2^nd floor by Investigator Tessa. This is a photo of a apparition forming in the hallway. After a close look at this picture I could tell that everything in the picture is in focus except where the misty apparition is located.

The night was filled with various reports of abnormal events. Our investigators have been trained to look for obvious explanations of events before reporting spirit contact. Jason, Steve and I were not assigned to any one team. We were to report to any place that an investigator felt that they had had a paranormal event. We were running all over the building that night. We were able to debunk a lot of the events but the ones listed below are the ones we find to be real paranormal contact.

Conclusion: We feel that the Nyberg Building is very haunted.

• At approximately 8:20 pm Investigator Alan sees what appeared to be a shadow of a person cross the hall at the east end of the Basement hallway.
   

• Around 8:32 pm Investigator Violet feels something thump the back of her leg. She is in the west end of the Basement when this happens. A little further to the west Violet gets the impression that there is a little girl wanting to play hide and seek with her.
   

• Around 9:30 pm Investigator Christina and Melisa hear what sounds like a woman’s voice in the Basement area.
   

• At approximately 11:30 pm Investigator Robin encounters a being outside room 332. The presence makes her feel sick at her stomach.
   

• Team three has battery problems on the third floor. They lost the power in their batteries from three different pieces of equipment. This happens between rooms 339 and 327.
   

• The third is where we did the bulk of our experiments. A young girl was heard by several of the investigator laughing and talking. We set out toys for to play with and got some response.
   

• Investigator Kerri and Polly have their hair pulled on the fourth floor.
   

• Investigator Polly felt as if she were followed all night. She heard several sounds like shuffling feet behind her.
   

• Toward the end of the investigation Investigator Alan used the dowsing rods in an attempt to contact spirits in the building. He started on the 5^th floor and made contact within minutes. This all started around 2am. He made contact and established an answering system to yes or no questions. He had several investigators with him at the time. He soon discovered that the spirit wanted to take the group to their room on the 4^th floor. He found out that the entity was a woman in her mid forties with brown hair and brown eyes. She was married and had one child, a son. She died at the sanatorium in her room. She stays because she likes it there but she is afraid of others like her. She says that there are evil spirits in the building and that they primarily stay on the 3^rd floor.
   

• The investigation ended soon after the dowsing and we left the building as we found it.

 Conclusion: Is the Nyberg building of the Booneville TB Sanatorium haunted? Yes.

We graded it as follows:
 Scientific evidence on a scale of 0 – 50  = 40
Sensory evidence on a scale of 0 – 25 = 20
Extra sensory evidence on a scale of 0 – 25 = 20
Grand total  = 80.
