Holt Cemetery: Investigation from April 2012
I am working on a short video and the audio from an SB7 Spirit Box session. The video and the session are both compelling, and it will be posted soon via twitter and here on the website as well.
Holt is basically a potter’s field, a place for bodies claimed and buried for little to no money. This cemetery has bodies from the 1700s in it right up to gang bangers from a few years ago. These are in the ground type of burials, not the traditional New Orleans above ground crypts. This is for the less fortunate, those who could only afford a place to dig a hole and sink an inexpensive coffin. Bones, personal possessions, and voodoo paraphernalia are actively present in the cemetery.
The video will show what it can since we lost the batteries in all the video cams while more or less beginning the investigation. It will also include a link to point you to the audio from the SB7 (aka Spirit Box) session done after the cameras died, in the most strongly active portion of the cemetery as we all felt at the time.

PARANOLA at Chip Coffey’s ” Coffey Talk”
The event was held at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel on Orleans St. in NoLa. The talk was divided into four parts. The first part consisted of Chip Coffey talking about his life and family from childhood on to present day and how his childhood relates to his new book, Growing Up Psychic. The second part involved Chip talking about work he has done including Paranormal State and Psychic Kids and included some brief clips from episodes such as the infamous “I am six.”
In the third section Chip randomly picked people to ask him questions either as a medium or a psychic. There were a lot of questions about loved ones who are now in spirit. After the third section the people who only bought basic admission tickets left. VIP and Super VIP then had their pictures taken with Chip and everyone received an autographed copy of Growing Up Psychic.
The fourth section was a brief investigation of the hotel’s ballroom in which we were permitted to record and use the KII and the Mel meters. Chip utilized the mini mag-light technique.. if you have never tried this technique it is worth a shot. Interesting that Chip picked up on children spirits while no one in our group had the slightest intuition of any children being around. One of my favorite parts of the evening was when Chip raffled off his scarf.
Sadly, I did not win but I did donate $20 to NoH8 and animal rescue organizations. (^_^)
Overall a very interesting night. We did manage to get our name out there so I would not be surprised if our next investigation stems from this night in some fashion.

Illness and Ghosts
No this isn’t about TB. It is about the fact that when the weather makes its major turn here we all get sick. I think everyone we know is sick. It has slowed us down but it sounds like all the founding four will be at Chip Coffey’s ‘Coffey Talk’ for the Super VIP.
In other news, we are still fighting through audio from Holt Cemetery. We have some great EVP and the SB-7 Spirit Box session should more or less be done as one whole clip. There is ‘deep voice’ no, not @paranolajoe and who we believe is someone from two different graves we were next to in the cemetery.
We have a very dynamic collection of investigation venues we are working on, including closed churches, to a firehouse. (Must say I am partial to the firehouse.) It’s hard to get places to shut off off the power and let people roam through it, but we have some very convincing people. 
There has been a decision and someone will get a ticket paid for to the Chip Coffey ‘Coffey Talk’ to hang out with us, all the founders should be there plus maybe more.

EVPs and Spirit Box Recordings from Holt Cemetery
We are still digging through the digital recordings we made during the investigation. In addition we are listening through what we heard in the spirit box session. We have had some members under the weather, but we are trying our best to get through everything.

Investigation 2012/04/14
A group of five investigated yesterday at a notorious New Orleans Cemetery, Holt. The investigation lasted nearly 5 hours and involved the use of KII meters, IR Video Cameras, Mel Meters, Digital Voice Recorders, and a very effective use of a SB-7 “Spirit Box.”
Results of the investigation will be posted soon, including a few intelligent conversations through the SB-7 and multiple EVP.
