Altona Homestead Investigation Friday 12th August


We ran two investigations on the evening. One at 7pm with 3 guest investigators and one at 9.30pm with ten investigators. We recorded the entire evening and after reviewing all the data, have summarised it below. The evening was run by Jacqui from Lantern Ghost Tours and Andrew and Troy from Ghost Tech who joined both groups.

Overall we had a lot of activity. The intruder alarm armed itself three times and went off once with no explanation. Three EVP recorder batteries drained entirely then were full again after 2 hours without us charging them. The group sensed children all night. We saw a child in loungeroom, many of us felt a cold touch against our hands, fingers and legs. Sarah Langhorne came through the Ouija board, saying she is scared of her grandson starting with “T”. William Henry Croker kept telling the group to leave- and as he did so the intruder alarm went off. We heard noises from the cupboard in the bedroom and sent the little boy hiding inside it to the light. The dowsing rods were very active. An unidentified spirit was communicating through glasswork. Several people felt what they describe as a horse kick to their hips in the kitchen. Shereen and Nathan had personal messages from people they know come through.

We also caught some fantastic EVPs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MJhtRAtHNM

Thanks everyone for a fantastic and active evening, a full report of the evening is below.
