Taking a somewhat turn off the beaten path, this week I would like to discuss a "haunting behind the haunt." The Ouija Board used in Greywood Manor has its own haunted history - that which concludes with perhaps video evidence of the dead.
Before the Ouija Board was retired to Greywood Manor, it was, infact, used as a true Ouija Board should be - a means to contact the deceased. Having been interested in the real paranormal, I had recieved the Ouija Board as a boardgame to be played over my summer break from school. This was around the year 2004.
Flashforward to 2006. After conversing with the board, my cousin Dan and I decided we wanted to get the "spirit" to show itself. It ended up giving us a time and place in which it would do so, and guarenteed that we'd be able to pick it up on our video camera. Thusly, we set up the camera, left the room, guarded the door, and let the camera roll for about ten minutes or so - giving the ghost a nice five minute window on each side of the supposed time of contact. (This would give the spectre some extra time if it decided to show up early or late.)
After the ten minutes were completed, we went back into the room. Noticing no oddities of any kind inside the room, we packed up the camera, and took it downstairs to view the footage on our television.
The findings were startling! At about two to three minutes into the film, a semi-translusent white orb appears coming in from the bottom left side of the frame. It traverses a distance of about two to three feet, and disappears within the camera shot right in the middle of the closet - the agreed upon sight of appearance.
So is this truly proof of the dead?
All we know for sure is that we are honored to have this prop in our possession, and take pride in displaying it every Halloween!
Below is a video of the phenomenon caught on film.
