Audio
not evaluated due to normal sounds of vacuuming and music
from a nearby establishment. Any recorded material
would have been contaminated.
Five
hours and 20 minutes of video still under evaluation,
cursory review did not reveal anomalies.
Approximately
807 still photos under review.
Employees
questioned had nothing unusual to report from their time
of employment at this location at initial contact.
Several commented they prefer not to be alone in areas of
the theatre. Reports of lighting issues were
contributed to old wiring as a possible explanation.
Areas
of interest for follow up:
|
1:
NE hallway, lower level near the “star’s”
dressing room |
While
touring the lower hallway in the dressing room
area, a Gauss Master Meter in a padded case
registered by tone high readings without
activation. Tone was continuous for more
than two minutes
Normal
operation is by holding in the button on the side
of the unit. The small meter is hand-held, with a
needle read scale (0-10 mG), with an audio signal.
This meter measures the level of EMF magnetic
field radiation from electrical sources.
The
area did have large electrical sources as well as
water collection below the concrete floor.
A hole in the floor was examined but the
bottom was beyond light sources available, depth
was not determined. At the time, in a nearby room
electrical panels were noted and thought to have
influenced the meter’s activation and audio
tone.
Shortly
after in the same area the psychic noted a change
in the energy, she requested a still photo be
taken. In the photo is an orb beside her. Video at that time does not include this immediate area or
any anomalies.
A
short discussion concerning the electrical sources
as the possible influence for both situations was
noted, as well as a note to return to the area to
gather more data and try to duplicate the
situation. Time
did not allow the team to reexamine this area.

2:
NW storage room under balcony seating |
Again
while touring the building; several team members
entered a long storage room under the balcony
seating on the north side of the building.
This room had only one entrance/exit. All
but one team member manning a video camera had
exited the room while another was standing at the
entrance to the room.
The member at the entrance saw two people,
the cameraman and someone going around a corner at
the end of the room.
This team member walked past the cameraman
to see who went around that corner but there was
no corner and no one was there. Two team
members reported the feeling of touch, the area
was examined for webs, string or any item that
could logically explain the situation.
Later
two team members returned to this storage room.
One sat at the end of the storage room, the
other mid way of the room.
They sat quietly when the team member at
the far end requested a photo be taken, “I
had a feeling of someone touching my hair in the
second floor storage room. April and I were
sitting in the dark and after about 5 minutes I
felt the hair on top of my head moving.”
Air vents, returns, drafts, webs or items
hanging were found that might explain.
Pictures taken at that time did not
indicate any anomalies.
*After
the report was submitted GHG was informed that a
former employee reported an encounter someone
dressed in black in this storage area on several
occasions.

| 3:
W third floor upper hallway |
The third floor hallway mid-section on the west
side of the building had a slight drop in
temperature in the center section of the hallway.
A photo taken when the temperature drop was
noted included an orb in motion low along the
carpet. There
weren’t any vents, return air registers or
insects noted.
|
| 4:
Mezzanine balcony area overlooking the lobby |
During
the tour of the rounded mezzanine balcony area,
the odor of cigarette smoke was noted.
Later a team member reported the odor of
cigar smoke on the south side of the balcony
railing; this lasted for approximately 45 seconds.
No smoke was visible and the odor
dissipated. Approximately
30 minutes passed; from the north side of this
same area the odor of fresh cigarette smoke was
noted. Cleaning
staff was at the south end of the balcony area
cleaning the restroom. When questioned, the
response was that smoking was not allowed in the
building. No
odor or visual of smoke was noted at the south end
of the balcony.
|
| 5:
Balcony Box B area |
In
the entry to Balcony Box B seating area, the
psychic noted a change in the energy; a feeling of
apprehension was also noted.
Orbs were photographed from several cameras
and angles in the area. Team members
monitored this area for an extended time.
|
| 6:
Equipment malfunctions |
Six
of six digital cameras experienced battery
failure. Each
camera is a different brand and model.
New batteries were installed before the
investigation began.
Both
disposable and rechargeable batteries were in use.
Normal battery life for these cameras is
450 to 800 photos.
Cameras became sluggish or non operational
at an average of 90 photos. (Camera models: HP
Photo Smart, Minolta Dimage S414, Nikon 10.2 SLR,
Canon Power Shot A75, Canon Power Shot 550 and
Kodak DX3900)
Batteries
supplying power for the mini audio/video wireless
color cams began to fail after one hour.
One
Gauss Master Meter stored in a padded leather case
registered by tone high readings without
activation.

The
data listed above merely suggests areas of interest at
this time. Singularly
the notes are not definitive of paranormal activity, but
combined suggest more information is needed. A closer
review of the areas mentioned, scrutiny and searches for
logical explanations as well as attempts to recreate the
situations may substantiate or disprove.
Agreed,
orbs are highly debated; alone orbs in digital photographs
most often can be explained by normal digital camera
operation and air borne particles.
Flash light tests did not indicate extreme volume
of air borne particles, moisture was ruled out due to
humidity levels measured inside the building except in the
two areas where standing water was evident.
Normal movement such as walking and air circulation
will move particles; the flash reflects creating false
anomalies in photos.
A majority of orb photographs are taken with
digital cameras in low-light conditions and are thought to
be flaws caused by lack of pixels or filling of colors due
to a digital defect.
The lighting in the theatre was normal until the
last half hour when we requested the lights be lowered.
The orb anomalies did not increase with the change
in lighting.
Test
photos were taken in the area where vacuuming was
underway, orb anomalies were expected but not documented.
Theatres
are places having experienced a wide range of emotions by
staff, audiences and performers.
Normal daily activity and patterns of movement will
leave an energy imprint.
This residual energy would be similar to a movie
replaying over and over.
Due to the age of the building and the number of
people that have walked through the doors at the Saenger
Theatre GHG did expect to encounter some form of residual
energy.
This may be the case with the sighting of the
person thought to be a GHG team member in the storage
room.
Unfortunately we were not able to validate that
sighting; however the two-team members that returned to
that same area did have an additional experience of touch
– a possible validation.
