Report
From the start of the investigation we stayed together with Rebecca (Client) as we made our way through this location. At once we noticed that this large building had many sounds that were apparently normal “settling” noises. When in the “hat” room we did hear a sound as if someone was moving something above us. The area above us was well covered by our DVR cameras and nothing was seen that would explain the sound we heard. We continued our investigation of the 1st floor without further incident. As we were going up the stairs to the 2nd floor Adrian went up first and was holding the flashlight on the stairs to light the way for everyone. As Tina who was the last investigator up the stairs turned into the hallway at the end of the stairs, Adrian noticed what he thought was Tina's shadow stay at the bottom of the stairs. When I realized that the shadow was not Tina’s Adrian quickly turned on my video camera but before he could bring it to bear on the shadow it had just disappeared. Adrian did not see it go left or right he said it just faded away. A short while later we were standing just inside the main hallway on the 2nd floor and Robbin said she felt as if something were playing with her hair. We took pictures and video at this time but nothing showed on either media. While in the large room in the front of the building on the 2nd floor just after our EVP session, Sean felt a kind of heaviness in his chest saying it felt as if his heart “skipped a beat”. This sensation lasted about a minute then passed. Just as we went up to the 3rd floor Tina said she seen a kind of “fogginess” but no one else claimed to have seen this and then later seeing a shadow to her left that she thought was Adrian but he wasn’t in that area. While on the 3rd floor we had witnessed shadow activity that blocked the light in front of us and at one time Adrian had seen someone standing in between Sean and Rebecca who were about 4 feet to his right. We had heard a few sounds and seen a few shadows in the frame work on the side of the room and took a few pictures that upon review were worth mentioning. We moved back to the 2nd floor and investigated the area we hadn’t already and while in the hallway Rebecca felt sensation around her. We took video and photographs at this time with nothing to show. We moved back to the 1st floor and split into two groups, one of just women, and on of just men to perform an EVP sweep. Adrian and Sean started the first rotation and went systematically throughout the building asking questions. While on the 2nd floor Adrian felt as if something poked him on the back of my right thigh. While in the attic Sean was taking pictures and caught a picture with what we were sure at the time was breath. We tried to recreate it several time from different angles and was never able to recreate the breath on a picture. After finishing our rotation we stayed downstairs and let the women do the same exercise, while upstairs they too tried to recreate the “breath” photo but was unable to do so. While the women were upstairs the guys were downstairs in the main sales room and while sitting there Adrian had seen a figure standing about 3 feet behind a glass counter. Adrian tried to get Sean’s attention so he could see it but could not get him to see it before disappearing. We did catch and EVP at this time to corroborate the claim. After we were all together again on the 1st floor we called the investigation to a close and collected our equipment and left for home.
A haunting is defined as “To inhabit, visit, or appear to in the form of a ghost or other supernatural being”. With the EVP data we collected along with the personal stories by the investigators and with the evidence supporting those experiences we feel confident that saying the Ozark Folkways is a haunted location. As far as who is haunting this building there is no way we can say at this time if ever.
No, not the orb. That is an artifact. Just above Robbins head you will see a white dot on he wood frame.
Just above that there is an image of what appears to be a mans face. Hard to see but there none the less.
Cropped
I know what you are going to say, because we did too. It looks like breath. But notice that it starts out big on the left of
the photo and then tapers in as it goes up. This was what was seen by Tina as we entered the upper floor and after we
took this photograph we had attempted several times to recreate the "breath" but was unsuccessful in recreating it.
Audio
I don't know what it says but it's definitely an answer
Yet another answer to a question
An EVP caught that says "I didn't know"
While downstairs this EVP was caught right after I had seen an apparition.
