Date: October 19, 1999
Time: 7:15-10:15 PM
Location: General Wayne Inn
Weather: The temperature outside was approximately 50 to 55 degrees. It was clear and cool, with a full moon.
Equipment: I was using a Sony Hi-8 Camcorder with Nightvision, a Canon still camera with Kodak 800 speed film, and a Sony audio tape recorder using Maxell audio tapes.
History:
Those Present: Jen J., Nancy S., Sharon & Lew G., Rachel G., Bob R., Andy K., Donna & Kenny B.
Report: Nancy and I began our investigation in the Washington Room. We entered the room, put our equipment down, and took several still photographs. We closed the blinds to reduce the light in the room. I felt fairly relaxed in this room and noted no unusual feelings.
We then left the Washington Room and took some photos in the downstairs dining room. When we initially entered the room, I though that I heard silverware clanging together, but I was not sure, so I walked through the dining room and separated all of the silverware that appeared to be touching. Nancy and I then sat in that room for approximately fifteen minutes, and did take some photos. I then inspected the silverware again, and found that one set of silverware at one particular table seemed to have been pushed together while we were sitting in the room.
We then decided to set up our camcorders in the basement. We asked to be taken down to the basement. One of the staff indicated a back room which she told us would not have a lot of employees, and we could set up our cameras in the dark. My camera was facing the front porch, underneath, which was being held up by supports since it was apparently caving in. My camera was facing the front porch, and Nancy's was facing into the small room that my camera was in. Nancy also set up her audio tape recorder in that room.
¸Upon review of my videotape, I found only one possible anomaly, which I would like to present to the group for evaluation.
¸Nancy and I then went back upstairs to get our cameras and investigate the rest of the building. We walked around and took still photos in the areas of the staircase and again in the Washington Room. I then decided to set up my audio tape recorder in that room, and did so.
While my audio tape was running in the Washington Room, Nancy and I went back downstairs to retrieve our videotapes. Nancy and I then went and took some videotape and still photos of the exterior of the Inn.
We then returned to the inside of the building and went up to the attic. I did videotape for some time in the attic, but did not record anything of note.
We then went downstairs once again, and I took some additional videotape of the dining room area, where the silverware appeared to have moved. At that point, Nancy and I decided to conclude our investigation.
