Date: Wednesday October 28th, 1998
Time: Started at 8:00pm and ended at 10:00pm.
Location: Trevose Firehouse in Trevose Pa.
Weather: The temperature inside was around 70 degrees.
Equipment: Maxim 300si 35mm camera with auto-focus/auto-flash and strap removed, Keystone Easy Shot 500x with fixed 38mm lens, Kodak Gold 400 speed color film, E.L.F.-Zone EMF meter, Sony mini recorder, flashlight, Cyclops Compact Nightvision Scope.
History: There was not much info on the history of the house except that at one time family members from a local farm were buried at this site. It seems that the grave markers were moved, but the bodies weren’t. The site was also rumored to have been an Indian burial ground. All of this history was provided after the investigation.
Those Present: Lew & Sharon G., Bob & Ilene R., Kenny & Donna B., Danny & Nancy S., Jen J., Rachel G., Joani S., and Andy K.
Report: For this investigation I paired up with Donna B. We first spent some time on the ground floor in the main room. I tried using the night vision for the first time, while others said they were seeing orbs, I saw nothing. After spending maybe 15 or 20 minutes in this room we proceeded to the balcony where everyone else seemed to be branching of from. Donna and I looked at the balcony area I didn’t see or feel anything. We then proceeded to a small storage area behind the balcony. I didn’t see anything. However as Donna & I stood there talking about something I had been told about talking to the “ghost” to show itself I noticed in front of me about waist level there was an orb. At first I thought it was some kind of reflection from the night vision. Donna did not see the orb. I attempted to replicate the phenomena, which I could not do. I was a little shaken by this experience, but anxious to see if we could experience anything more. We then proceeded to the rooms on the other side of the storage room. I still did not have any feelings or impressions. We sat in the “bar” with Nancy & Jen for a little while. I didn’t notice anything unusual, but Nancy said she had seen a black shadow move very quickly across the doorway. I then left to investigate some more down stairs. After walking around downstairs I felt compelled to return to the bar upstairs. While sitting there I felt like there was someone in the corner to my right. I asked Bob to take a picture because I had a feeling. It produced an anomalous pic that is still under review. After that experience I continued to walk through the various rooms with no more experiences.
Impressions: I definitely feel that this firehouse has some sort of paranormal activity going on. I would like to thank John for letting us in to investigate. I would welcome another opportunity to investigate this location.
