Central Texas Hospital

Over the summer we conducted an investigation at a hospital that had recently become vacant. This was going to be a big job requiring the whole team. We were also fortunate to have the founder of G.H.O.S.T. with us to help cover this enormous group of buildings

The night started with a tour of the facility by one of the security officers, who was able to give quite a bit of history and share some personal experiences with us. Then came the task of equipment setup. we used everything in our arsenal. IR cameras down hallways and in patient rooms. We set up lasers and motion sensors in hopes of capturing some evidence of the many apparitions that staff have claimed to see. After placing all the equipment we broke into teams of 2 – 4 people and began sweeping the hospital for signs of the paranormal. We covered every inch of the place from the furnace room in the basement, to the meeting rooms on the top floor.

As one might imagine there were many personal experiences had by most of the investigators. While down in the furnace room conducting an EVP session the pipes began to make a groaning sound. I know that doesn’t seem to unusual but it was almost like the groans would come in response to the questions being asked. Rita felt the chain of her cross being lifted and a very cold sensation on her neck. We later heard on one of the camera’s audio something shuffling around in that same area. We did not however get anything on film except a few dust orbs. Two of our investigators Dana and Ashley heard laughter up on the children’s floor. There was the flush of a toilet in a patient room on the 7th floor. This particular room seemed to be one of the most reported places for paranormal activity. According to Chris (our guide) the staff would report their patients becoming quite upset saying that there was a man in their room. Asking the nursing staff to make the man go away, that he wouldn’t let them sleep. There were also reports of the bibles being opened to the same passage every time someone went into that room page 230 Acts 20, 21. There was the sound of music caught on a digital voice recorder from the ICU. This music was later validated by chance when talking to a former employee who worked in that ICU and remembered a particular patient who lay unconscious for days and the spouse would play the same song over and over in hopes that it would be heard. The big find during this long night of investigating had to be the apparitions that was video tapped in one of the operating suites. Chris was investigating with Tim (founder – GHOST) in one of the operating suites after claims from myself that I had heard someone or something moving around in that area. Neither one of them had any idea what they had documented until days later all of the video had been watched. Needless to say we were all blown away by what we had seen.

Our findings were presented to the management of this buiding for their interpretation and at their request the name and location of their facility is to remain confidential. Lee CTPS
