Report: We set up an investigation on this night as part of an experiment. However, one key ingredient to this experiment was missing…..fireworks (that were scheduled to go off at the Art Museum.) We later found out that they did go off and that we just couldn’t hear them from the fort.
On a previous investigation, fireworks could be heard in the distance. They distinctly sounded like cannon fire. And, it just so happens that the fort was very active where activity is concerned. This is why we wanted to return on a night that we knew fireworks could be heard. We wanted to see if in fact the fireworks were responsible for the ‘extra’ activity at the fort on our previous visit. Unfortunately, not only did we not hear the fireworks, but the fort was not active at all. Nonetheless, we heavily investigated and ended at approx. 11:45.
Impression: Although things were slow on this night, the fort is still very active with paranormal activity.
