July 9, 2010 was a great experience at the Black Moon Manor in Greenfield, Indiana. I’ve never been to Indiana before, and was very glad I had the opportunity to go.
Matt Speck and Jennifer are the perfect hosts for this investigation. They are very nice people who were skeptics before buying this place. They had their own experiences that would scare anyone out of restoring the place. Jennifer was scratched after a person visiting had been provoking the spirits there. She still has scars on her lower back to prove it. Matt had one time been pushed going up the stairs. They have had water bottle caps thrown at them, pennies also have been thrown at people. When you enter the mansion, you instantly feel the change in the air around you, and you feel you are not alone. You instantly feel tired and drained.
We arrived at the property at 7:00 pm. We were supposed to meet Matt and Jennifer at 6:00 pm, but we hadn’t counted on the fact of the time zone being an hour earlier, and they were so kind to understand our confusion. That left us an hour less of set up time, but we managed.
They gave us a tour of the mansion, and the cemetery, and the barn. The place had to have been gorgeous in it’s day. We discovered during the tour that it was a small pox hospital in the 1800’s over 200 people were brought there to die (mostly children). The home had no power to it, so we knew any readings couldn’t be false. The nearest residence was on the other side of a corn field that was quite far away from the location. Larry Eissler had begun setting up the equipment while I started to barbeque some hotdogs. Matt and Jennifer joined us and we sat and ate while they shared experiences and we shared some of ours. It was a great time.
While we were waiting to start, and working out the equipment issues, Larry started getting the feeling that someone was in the doorway of the home. When he took a picture of the doorway, He caught an incredible photo of a woman standing outside of the doorway looking at him. It gave us all a creepy feeling. Now it was harder to wait for the rest of the team!
We had waited long enough, and as we began, we were having equipment issues on everything electronic you could think of. We resolved the issues thanks to Larry and his knowledge of the equipment! While we waited for the rest of the investigators to arrive, we started to try to get EVP’s from the upstairs of the mansion. This house was creepy! We loved it! We had been about 40 minutes into the investigation when we were in the north bedroom, I had mentioned the names of the girl and the woman who were said to still be in the home, I asked “Martha or Caroline, if you are here, can you give us a sign”? Then a moment later, BANG! Right under the feet of Larry Eissler, who was doing the filming. It made him jump so high I thought he had a hang time of 15 seconds!
When the other members arrived at 11:00 pm, they had the same experiences that we had but with all their equipment. Larry and Marcos handled the issues and we were ready to continue. Marcos had volunteered to go to the basement and do an EVP session there. Larry assisted him in setting up down there. Once Marcos was alone, he began to feel a thickness in the air, even though the temperature was 66 degrees, and he was beginning to feel strange, he radioed up to the rest of us to come and assist him in helping to retrieve the equipment down there. Larry went and helped him, only to find Marcos was feeling weak, and was sweating profusely. Once out of the basement, Marcos began to feel himself again. He was ready to roll again after a few moments of recovery.
We alternated team members and attempted to get more evidence from the North bedroom. After analyzing my EVP’s from that night, I had gotten a male voice that said “Larry” that was quite clear. Had Larry heard it that night, I don’t know how he would have taken it. It really is a difference when you get an EVP of any kind, as opposed to getting one with your name personally. While inside, Larry was outside monitoring the video equipment.
He had called a friend of his who is a medium, and she had told Larry that a male spirit was focusing on him above all the people there that night. She had also told him that there were two female and one male spirit at the home. She said the male spirit was holding the females there and was keeping them from touching the trigger toys we had brought to the investigation. Also, this male spirit used to work at the mansion and was cruel to the children that were brought there. He was a molester and liked little boys, and he was also having sex with the dead bodies, and that there were dead bodies in the well. We had found there was a well that had a porch built around it, and at one time had a hinged wooden lid over it. We were told that so many people had passed here, that the south end of the home was altered into a funeral parlor, and the bodies were taken out a door (that is now sealed) and directly to the back yard cemetery.
We wondered if the sick spirit of the male employee was the one who was to dig the graves, had gotten tired of doing all the digging, just began to just dump the children down the well? The medium said there was a well, and there was… so I would have to believe she was on to something. Even though we all had good phone reception while there, Larry was the only one having dropped calls, and this was only while he had the medium on the phone, and this occurred 8 times.
Was the male spirit trying to keep Larry from getting this information? We had to wonder. We were informed by the owners that no one has been at the location past 4:00 am before. Why was this we wondered? We stayed until 8:00 am and tried to see if we could get anything during the morning hours. The activity through the night was great, but sadly we got nothing during the morning. We had personal experiences of being touched in the North bedroom by two investigators during an EVP session, but no where else in the home. A couple of cameras that were filming shook on their own, and focus went in and out occasionally. The toy doll and ball we brought were never moved.
All in all, this was a great experience, and a wonderful time had by everyone there. Thank you Black Moon Manor! Great hosts, ghosts, and a great place made for a great time. Anyone out that way in Greenfield, Indiana, this place is a must!

BELOW ARE HPI UPDATES, NEWS AND GOSSIP!

The Balloon
By Deanna Jaxine Stinson

I remember as a small child
I held onto my first balloon
I ran around outside with it wildly
I the Earth, it was my blue moon

When I noticed that the sun setting
and the balloon was going flat
I realized I had to release it instead of letting
It wither away into nothing as I slept

I decided on it’s one last journey
That it should become what it was destined to do
I was attached to it because I had filled it with my thoughts
I stood at the edge of a valley where the birds flew…
,
But… all the thoughts I had been thinking were just air
Although it was my companion, I believed it would
love adventure so I untied the ribbon and I let it fly high
but than I felt a sadness as I watched it float so slowly into the sky
and I realized that I couldn’t get it back even if I wanted…

Whenever I make mistakes in my life I always seem to think back
to that balloon I let go of that day in the sky. The choices that you make in life are choices that you cannot take back, choose them wisely…

American Horror Story: Alien Encounters – Script Idea
Jessica Lange runs a church oriented rehab center (farm) in the mid-west. On one particular night strange lights are seen, buzzing noises are heard. In the morning, they find 6 cows mutilated. UFO investigators and the local police swarm their farm. For a good while, things have died down, then on another morning, the rehab people find 3 mutilated human bodies in the farm yard. Again, UFOlogists, including the famous Dr. Allen Hynek investigate the farm, along with the FBI who think it’s a homicide. A serial killer in another State reads about the human mutilations and comes up with an idea of dumping his bodies at this farm, because his mother that he lives with is always complaining about the smell in the house, the smell of death, because he has bodies buried in the basement. The serial killer starts to dump his dead victims at the farm land and on one particular night when he is dumping bodies, he comes across a Satanic cult preparing for a human woman sacrifice and they see the serial killer and before he knows it, he is being prepared to be sacrificed by the Satanic cult. With this storyline, there is a bit of Ufology, a little bit of cattle mutilation, a serial killer, a Satanic cult and of course Jessica Lange’s Church Rehab Center.

GURNEY PRODUCTIONS
Gurney Productions is currently producing a new paranormal TV show for a major cable network, where we will explore neighborhood hauntings. We already have our team of ghost hunters, but are still looking for some great local experts to be paranormal consultants for us. This is where you come in and why we contacted you today.
Nobody knows the local haunted “hot spots” like you. Nobody knows their own neighborhood better than someone who actually lives there. We’d like to hear from you and learn about any local haunts that you feel should be explored on TV. You may have even already explored these places, so you know if it’s a true haunting or just a local legend. We’re not looking to put you on the show, but to have you be a consultant and pay you a fee if your story makes the show.
As for the types of haunts we’re looking for, most paranormal investigation shows limit their ghost hunts to places such as abandoned asylums, decrepit hospitals or enormous old hotels. That’s not what our show is about. We’re interested in helping the average homeowner who is experiencing unexplained phenomena; the “little guy” who always gets overlooked because their home isn’t considered “historic” or grand. We want to explore anywhere there is a haunting, even the most “dangerous” neighborhoods in town. We’d also like to hear about any local bars, nightclubs or restaurants that may be haunted. Ghosts don’t care where they haunt and we don’t care where we hunt. All homes and neighborhoods are welcome, just as long as they’re haunted.
If you’d like to be considered as a paranormal consultant for your area and can get us in contact with the homeowners, please let us hear from you. We’re ready to roll and anxious to hear from you!
