We have confirmed that there has been
a reported suicide death in the Jail in the 1st floor cell block.
Others have reported seeing the apparition of Sheriff Keeler in the
past. One day in the afternoon a response was given to us that the name
of the ghost we were speaking to was Tommy, a male voice.
Strange items have appeared in the jail that were not there on previous
occasions. Items we have purposefully left in the jail have been moved
or disappeared altogether. Jail cell doors
have slammed.
Walking is heard all the time.
Small items have been tossed such as bottle
caps and a rocks. Jingling keys, odd old time music, music box music, whistling and rattling chains
have been heard at different times of the day and night. The opening and
closing of doors have also been heard.
Male
and female voices have been heard live with our own ears.
We have had the voices jump
into our current conversations a few times and heard them live and that
is freaky!! Our names have been called out on many occasions.
While we can not guarantee that you will capture any evidence, we are
stating that
the Jail is very paranormally
active and to date we have experienced and or captured evidence
of many different entities that we can distinguish as separate entities. We
are also stating that paranormal activity doesn't happen only in the
dark, in the middle of the night. It happens during the daytime as well.
This has been constantly proven to us not only here at the Jail but at
many other locations we have investigated.
We are offering daytime and nighttime sessions.
These sessions are for private
investigations, meaning your group
will be the only ones investigating during your session.
There will however be a staff member on the property, who will not
interfere with your investigation in case of an emergency or in the
event you need anything.
