Delaware: Strand Theater
What can be said about the Strand Theater that hasn't already been said during it's 97 year history? It is an icon in Delaware Oh and has offered up entertainment to local residents from vaudeville to modern movies.
During the course of the theater's history it has acquired the reputation of being haunted. Dark figures have been reported throughout the theater, the aroma of a woman's perfume has been smelled and a former employee known |
"Rodney" is said to effect equipment. With the recent remodel the theater has gone through, we assumed that the atmosphere would be ripe for a (Paramendel) paranormal investigation.
While none of us ran up and down the aisles scared by what we saw, we did manage to catch some audio and video evidence as well as some team members having personal experiences.
Light anomalies were seen throughout the theater(s) and lobby area. In the old bowling alley "Mike" told our team that had three strikes and three spares. In the upper theater a black mist was caught hovering outside the projection booth. Light anomalies/orbs darted around our closed circuit TV screen at astonishing speed. A closer review of all our evidence should reveal even more.

Shady Lane/ The old county Home
I can/could literally see this building from my house. It has had a long history dating back to the Civil War. As a retired deputy I remember training in the building "back in the day". When I first moved to Delaware County the home was still in operation housing the elderly and indigent. Its only been vacant since the late '80's, if I remember right. There is a cemetery out back covered in weeds and there was once a place to house the mentally ill as well. In its hay day the property was 113 acre farm. I knew an older resident that resided there just prior to its closing and visited him once. It was a sad and depressing place.

There is no doubt in my mind that spirits would linger there because of all those that have passed while the building was in operation. Many of those that lived there were suffering from dimensia and I'm convinced that they would have stayed with no where else to go. Having been inside both on and off duty, a lot of things happened in there to me and other deputies that we would be hard pressed to explain. Unfortunately during our last investigation there we were hindered by both weather and unexpected group of local students looking for a thrill. The ambient noise from the rain and constant footsteps from others completely ruined any possible EVP's. Since then, (late fall of 2012) the building was torn down before we could conduct another interior investigation. I do plan to go back at some point now that the building is removed and see what the land holds.

Delaware: Private Residence #2
This investigation came to us via referral. Over the last year or so our client has seen apparitions in her home, along with a general feeling of uneasiness. We don't believe anyone should feel uneasy in their own home, so we decided to try and help her.
One of the apparitions was that of a younger man with blonde hair that appeared in her foyer. She stated that she made eye contact with the man, he smiled, then walked downstairs toward her basement. When she checked the area, nothing was found. The other apparition was that of a woman and a little girl sitting at her dining room table. The client told us that she watched the woman and girl for what seemed like a few minutes before asking what they were doing there. When she did they vanished. Our client didn't recognize any of the spirit apparitions. |

Delaware: haunted barn
We were approached by one of our team members to investigate a barn on their property. The member reported a "creepy" feeling whenever they were near the barn. It was stated that it felt like you were being watched. The barn itself pre-dates the age of the home.
The property used to be part of a large farm in the 1800's. It is also important to note that Native American artifacts have been found in the area. However at this time, we are unaware of an tragedy or extraordinary events that have occurred on the property. The land itself has a baseline reading of 0.6-0.7 which is unusually high for an outdoor area. The local area is known to be rich in limestone which is believed in hold memories and increase paranormal activity. This may explain the unusual EMF readings. |
