Report: During this investigation our group (the PGHA) was split into three groups. All others, including the Y100 and ESP crew were assigned to one of the three groups. Each group investigated their specific area for approx. 45 min to an hour. Each group would then swap areas. And, eventually, our group leaders even swapped guests.
Mine and Rachel's group headed to Death Row first. We then investigated the Administration Building, Cell Blocks 4, 5, and 6 and the Infirmary. During the night we had no unusual readings of any kind. This included EMF's and temperature changes. Every inch of every area was monitored and, as mentioned, nothing unusual was found. This holds true for me in all of the areas we investigated that night. However, I do know that some of the guests did claim to experience some unusual things during the night whether that be temperature, EMF's, sightings, etc. But, I personally had a quiet night. I did however, get some questionable EVP during the recording session everyone participated in in the Infirmary. They are still being evaluated.
Impression: This place could be haunted based upon the things I saw and heard that were unexplainable the last time we investigated the prison and during prior visits to the prison. However, I would like more proof.
