totured souls

Hauntings occur for many reasons. Someone might have some unfinished business on Earth and simply refuses to leave. They may need to see a project completed or watch a child grow, but in any case, they choose to stay. In another scenario the person feels as if their family cannot live without them and they also refuse to leave. Again, this is their choice. Then there are the ones that don’t actually know they are dead or simply can’t accept the fact that it’s over, these are the ones that are usually trapped in a loop that plays over and over until the entity figures out what happened to them. And finally, you have those that are trapped here by emotional torture and chaos in their lives. These are the people who suffered so much trauma in their lives they are snared in our reality. These are the saddest and most dangerous cases for any ghost hunter.

Your first question might be why these cases are dangerous. I mean it stands to reason that the person who passed would be sad, but why would it be dangerous. They were the tortured souls that passed, why would they hurt anyone. Well, there is a belief that there are two things that make these hauntings particularly dangerous. The first is that the trapped souls are pissed. They were killed before their time and are now trapped. Being trapped is enough to set anyone off, being tortured is enough to break any kindness and in turn, many times these souls might speak out. They blame you for them being trapped, they envy you for living a life they were refused. Either way, they are powerful and can interact. The second is even more menacing. The person that tortured them is trapped with them. This entity is locked in place with the one they tortured and they draw power from the constant fear of the victim. This gives this entity double the strength and the opportunity to find more victims. I believe I found one of these in the small town of Trent on a current investigation.

Upon entering this home I knew something was off. The owner didn’t tell me anything about the house and although I am not one to believe I have to go into an investigation cold, I think this benefited me this time around. I just knew something horrible happened here. The energy was high, sad and intense. I asked what happened in this home. I knew it wasn’t going to be as simple as a murder or murder suicide. This was big. And I was right.

I sat down with my client for my regular breakdown as usual but right off the bat, I knew this house was going to be big. She brought out about two dozen newspaper clippings and spread them out on the table. She didn’t say a word, simply letting me go through the papers. It was horrific. I was in the home of a serial killer from the late 1800’s early 1900’s that kept and tortured his victims for months sometimes years. And, when I say torture, I mean some really sick stuff. He was basically experimenting with these poor souls. Some he starved to the brink of death only to give them just enough to make it. Others he tested pain thresholds and others, emotional tortures most of could not even imagine. He was sick.

He was killed by one of his very own victims in 1920 and only then did we see the extent as authorities uncovered 76 victims. Right then, although sickened and sad, I knew I was going to be in for one hell of a weekend. I was right.

We set up the usual equipment and without reason, every single one of our camera faltered. One camera actually caught fire and trust me, it was nowhere near a flame or heat source. Our plasma screens flickered on and off without even being plugged in and two actually melted. The same thing happened to our audio recorders. Although we hadn’t even turned them on, they indicated that they were at capacity. After turning them on, we found all five were filled with 8 hours each of laughter. I can verify personally as I check all the gear before we leave that each tape was clear, all batteries were new and all cameras worked. We knew that evidence was going to be near impossible, but for us, it’s not about proof. We want the experiences for ourselves and nothing else.

We went on with the search without equipment. This forced us to stay together as a group. Usually, we break off into two sets of two and two people going off on their own to see if the ghosts prefer groups or are a bit shy and seek individuals. For this case, we felt it best to break off into two groups of three so we would have at least two people verifying each experience.

Not a second went by in the house that we did not hear screams, laughter or see things fall off the walls. The homeowner told us that screams are usually but if she concentrates on ignoring it, she can sometimes go a few days without an experience. We sought these out and were not left wondering. I personally asked the killer to come forth and I immediately heard a buzzing in my ear, a kind of electrical buzz. I later found out that this man use to like putting charges on his victims if they became a bit too loud. For the rest of the night I heard this buzz and the more I asked for it to stop, the louder it became.

Another member asked if a victim wished to talk and she was too bombarded with a buzz, but for her, she also got to hear the screams of pain in her other ear. As the night went on and almost mad with the constant buzz I became angry myself. This seemed to give the entity more power. The more I got upset the more paranormal activity occurred. One member of my group was lifted off the ground and thrown into a bathtub. At that time, the water turned on and my team swears they heard a males voice say “dirty whore” as the water turned on. After several other attacks and multiple scratches being felt by every member of our team, we ended the investigation. We got the proof we wanted and much more. We are not a team of ghost hunters you see on TV that claim they can help our clients. We can’t. We are not demonologists or exorcists; we can only confirm you’re not insane. This lady wasn’t.
