INVESTIGATIONS

Case 040525

Posted on by Greensburg Ghost Society

old stone jail cambria county

 

Date: 4/5/25

Location: Old Stone Jail Cambria County Pa

Investigators: 5 team members attended, and this is a small location that is very wide open, with sound bleeding through floors.

Weather: Rainy, windy, damp, and chilly.

Noise: The location is on a main road in the downtown area, and outside noise does leak in. There is a bar across the road, which often has loud patrons.

There were no remarkable baseline EMF readings.

Structure: Dirt floors in basement/dungeon. Steep steps, metal walkways, and wind leakage due to some holes in the roof. The higher up you go in the building, the more sound from outside that bleeds in due to roofing issues. The building is made from Sandstone. There was current water damage/flooding.

This was one of our final investigations in 2024 and our first in 2025.

 

Evidence:  Again, we captured some interesting things. The dungeon had all of our devices going off, which included a Melmeter, EMF detector, and a Response Box for yes or no answers. We did capture this, but we are not confident in the cause. Further investigations are needed to repeat the behavior.   The spirit box is quite active at this location, with times too many voices speak so you can’t hear anything decipherable. Recordings of sessions present the same problems.

We captured what we believe is a female scream. We also captured what we believe is a long male scream.  A few low-grade EVP were also captured as simple one-word responses.

We did a Luminal experiment in the cafeteria to see if we could find blood. (We asked permission to use) Under black light, we were able to see quite a bit. Pictures do not do it justice.

Perhaps the most interesting piece of evidence we captured is the same event at the same time that we captured 6 months ago at our last visit. With a camera left in the dungeon and no team members there, this has occurred twice. At approximately 12:02 AM, a knock is heard, with a female voice following it that consists of 3 syllables that we believe are “who is it”. We feel this is pretty strong evidence of residual activity. We plan to pursue this specific event the next time we visit.

 

Conclusions: We love Old Stone Jail and the staff there. We are interested in pursuing the Stone Tape theory and capturing the residual activity on more cameras and audio.

 

Case 092824

old stone jail ghost hunt

Date: 9/28/24

Location: Old Stone Jail Cambria County Pa

Investigators: Only 3 team members attended, and this is a small location that is very wide open, with sound bleeding through floors.

Weather: Rainy, windy, damp, and warm.

Noise: The location is on a main road in the downtown area, and outside noise does leak in.

There were no remarkable EMF readings.

Structure: Dirt floors in basement/dungeon. Steep steps, metal walkways, and wind leakage due to some holes in the roof.

 

Evidence

We captured quite a bit of evidence on video and audio.  There was a loud knock on wood in the dungeon when none of the team was down there. There was a faint female voice as well after the knocks that asked, “Who is it?”.  This was captured on camera, and there is no wood in the dungeon to knock on. All 3 investigators were in a room directly above with video and audio and never heard the knock or picked up the sound on equipment.

We did a lot of spirit box sessions with some intriguing responses. We asked for a name but got a number. When asked if it was a prison number, we were told yes. We were told several names. We plan to follow up on this information since, without research to back it up, we can’t fully consider it evidence.

In the Dungeon, during a spirit box session, one investigator shined a flashlight into one of the cells, and a voice can be heard on video that says, “See me”. It didn’t come from the spirit box.

We asked to speak with “Smitty” in the death row cell he had been kept in. Smitty disappeared the night before his execution. No body was ever found, and he was never captured later. Escape would have been near impossible. On the spirit box, Smitty responded that he was murdered and buried in the basement. Since the basement, aka dungeon, has a dirt floor, this would be plausible.

Smitty also used an EMF detector to respond to some questions.

 

Conclusions: We thoroughly enjoyed this location and plan to return to go further with the information we currently have.

 

Case 092124

Posted on by Greensburg Ghost Society

 

Date: 9/21/24

Location: Residence is Private

Investigators: Mike, Michelle, Savannah, and Jodi

Weather: Autumn day, sun, chilly

Noise: The Home is located on a very high-traffic street. Old windows allow sound to leak in. People walking past can be heard inside the home.

EMF Readings: Extremely high EMF readings throughout the entire home. Some was due to multiple electronics in a room, but enires walls read high as well. This is due to old faulty wiring that needs to be replaced. High EMF readings are thought to create an atmosphere for paranormal activity and are also known to make people nauseous or potentially hallucinate.

Structure: 2-story home with siding. Over 100 years old.

Personal Experiences: None

Esoteric Evidence: None

Evidence: None

Conclusion: No experiences or evidence during this investigation. Location would require another investigation for comparison. Home wiring needs to be replaced by an experienced electrician, and electronics should be reduced.

 

Case 081824

Posted on by Greensburg Ghost Society

hillview manor

 

Date: 8/18/24

Location: Hillview Manor

Investigators: Mike, Michelle, Savannah, Jodi, Judy, Lisa, Marc, Dylan, and Chris

Weather: Hot and clear.

Noise: While the windows are old and sound would leak in, the location is isolated. Many parts of the building have cement floors. The building is so large that the 3 or 4 small teams were able to spread out.

EMF Readings: Normal, no significance.

Structure: Large brick building, partially dilapidated, damp, musty basement, plumbing and electricity only in a small office area. The Time Clock hallway has uneven floors, walls, and ceilings, which will produce the “funhouse effect”. A Level was used to verify.

Personal Experiences: In the “noisy hallway,” we heard knocking and shuffling in rooms.  Savannah and Chris heard knocking in a room as a response to a question.  Savannah used a balloon to lure a child spirit, and it suddenly popped with no visible reason (caught on camera). Mike and Michelle heard footsteps in the basement and first thought it was other team members, but the ceiling is concrete.

Evidence: Spirit box communication with Angelo, who is to have hung himself in a bathroom on the premises. When asked a question, the spirit box responded, “My neck break”. EVPs were captured in the basement while Mike and Michelle were speaking to one another.

Conclusions: None at this time; further investigation is needed. Returning in 2025.
