Boy, I'm glad you're keeping up with this. I had decided, when I got back from lunch that I would u2u to make sure you knew about the recording.

I believe the library would have originally have been a bedroom and when plumbing was put in the house (the upstairs bath) they took some of this bedroom to make the bath. That left a very very small room which was then enlarged when the upstairs balcony was incorporated into the house. If you look at the diagram, the entire left side of the house is the upstairs balcony and that is where the windows have been walled over.

By the way, I just went and got my cable! So I should be able to upload my audio this evening. I also wanted to make sure you picked up on the "phone business" while the two ladies were here. Right in the middle of one of the ladies' sentences the speaker phone comes on by itself! (The two ladies left shortly after that...LOL!)

The current library then, is where the wife was pushed from the window. This is why I asked because when you posted that, I had flashes again from what we spoke of before, and the library portion of the drawing actually turned red breifly. Quite intruiging.

I am definitely keeping up on this Val. But if you do need to U2U me, definitely do not hesitate.

Blessed Be

weird if i were to hear it randomly i would think aliens. But then i listen and i think i hear footsteps and then something blowing into the microphone then scaping of wood on wood or substance on wood.

edited because of mispelling of "hear" (LOL) & Because of adding

Is it the sound that sounds like one of those air horn things? That's really odd.

EXACTLY! Dany. Except, when you're listening on the tape recorder it sounds something between that and a large wooden chair being pushed across a wooden floor. Only problem is, the only wooden floor within close proximity of the tape recorder is the attic floor!

Soudns almost like a...wail. Far away, and distorted, but a wail. Angry. Sad. both. I'm a little worried, but I can't really pass judgement based solely on this one sound.

My daughter swore she thought it sounded like a voice. It never sounded that way to me, but then again, I can't think of WHAT it sounds like to me. All I know is that something that loud shouldn't be happening in my house when no one is here. AND we have been unable to reproduce by moving anything movable in the house.

Sounds almost like when you hold the mic too close to the reciever and you get a wailing noise.
If ghosts or whatever are energy, then wouldn't it maybe make this noise passing close to the mic?
Feedback?

Just a thought!

Well, baked, you may be closer than you think. I started recording for a week or so back in June or July. At that time, the only time I was recording was at night. Every single night I had activations with no discernible sound recorded. This tape recorder takes a LOUD sound to activate (or movement, or maybe feedback???). So could these be LOUD, but very brief sounds, or maybe movement of the recorder, or maybe energy feedback? It is a good question!

Even on this tape I count three activations that there is no sound recorded for...what made them happen?

the activitation might be tripped by electromagnetics or the like. Acoustics are what it's intended for but it runs off of electricity and could be over loaded or the like.

Reading this freaked me out. Particularly give the lyrics that I wrote for my song. Originally I wasn't gonna post them...cuz what...I might publish it. Nah...i'll just give you the lyrics. Now that I've read over the recent messages (I HAVE NOT listened to the tape yet) I think my song is maybe about the drunk husband grocer who knew he screwed up. Valhall...don't read anything into the fact that the woman in my song is "alone"...people often are. Also, interestingly...I ran out of steam without finishing the song so it trails off in the middle of a lyric. I also think the lyrics seem out of order, but I'm just gonna give it to you like I wrote it down.

The Ghost on the Stairs

The Ghost on the stairs is calling my name
I heard him tonight, it's always the same
He won't let me go, he won't let me see
He won't give it up and he's saddening me.

And I hear in his voice something strong.
And I fear from his voice something's wrong.
But I cannot be sure and he can't seem to say
I listen for more and his voice fades away.

The Ghost on the stairs goes mute as I pass
I stop and I stare, a flicker at last
It's cold in the room, but warm in my heart
He feels my concern, he's playing his part

And I hear in his voice something strong
And I fear from his voice something's wrong
But I cannot be sure and he can't let me in
I can't let him out, so I'm stuck here with him

The ghost on the stairs is very alone
He seem I am too, just me in my home
He wants me to find, the love of my life
Someone he says, just like his wife

And I know from his words he is right
I've been looking for all of my life.

The ghost on the stairs, is following me
I felt him tonight, he wants me to see
He says that I've been a great host
But I'm ready to give up my ghost
And he's right cuz' I'm living for real....

(that's where it ended)

Boy if that sound was a chair scraping, across a wooden floor in the attic
It must of been loud!
I don't recall if you ever considered getting a dog Val? Personally I don't think a cat would stick around in that situation. As soon as you opened an outside door.. .......the cat would be yesterdays news!
That's a GREAT tape! No doubt in my mind.....something really creepy went down....in your house
Art Bell had some ghost hunters on his show once and played tapes of ghosts voices. You could actually hear them talking on the tapes! The voices are quite (eerie sounding), but fairly clear. This is a really interesting thread. More tapes.....more posting updates please.

Great song, Losonczy. Props on that one. Keep the recordings coming, Valhall...this thread now owns my life. And keep trying to find out about the grocer and the husband...they seem to be the keys here.

That's a great poem Losonczy

A cam would be REALLY COOL!

Thanks for the link baked.

[Edited on 09/08/2002 by MountainStar]

Baked, I found that link in 1997. I can't believe she still has it going! I think that's a joke though

LO...great song!

I will consider the cam after the holidays. Lots of people to buy for right now.

Val,

The recording is very clear. I am going to DL it at home soon (hopefully tonight) and try to listen to it closer. One question and a recommendation. Does your recorder have variable speed playback??? Meaning a dial you can use to slow or speed up the playback. I have found when recording ghost voices, they are at such a frequency that they often become clearer and more defined when slowed down. This is when you can often start making out words. I actually heard three spots that intrest me on the tape, but don't have the software here at work to check them out.

As far as the cam goes, great idea (after the holidays of course). I run mine from time to time on a 30 second lapse time. Now, I run it only overnight, and with now audio. Even still, the hard drive space can quickly get used, and there is a LOT to go through. I have had luck with it, but it takes patience. I would definitely go for motion sensative, however, you may not get anything unless an actual object is moved. Seldom to spirits actually activate the motion sensors without moveing anything.

Keep us posted.

Blessed Be

Another thought on slowing this down. If you don't want to spend money on more equipment...you may know a secretary that has a dictation machine. These usually have a foot pedal that you can use to slow it down so you can keep up when you type. A legal secretary should definitely have one. Just a thought.

So could these be LOUD, but very brief sounds, or maybe movement of the recorder, or maybe energy feedback? It is a good question!

I think you should probably email or research the type of recorder you have and find out exactly what activates it and slight defects that might be present.
