This photo was taken with a flash in a dark stairwell. Note the shadow on the left, climbing the stairs and the wall.

This photo was taken right after the previous photo. Note the shadow on the left is gone, but now there is a shadow on the right hand side.

We had a great time with the tours this weekend. We had a tour on both Friday and Saturday and were actually permitted into the back wing of the old school. (This is kept off limits to tours and visitors for safety reasons as there are holes in both the roof and the floor.)

In the back of the hallway is a stairwell to the second floor. As the second floor is entirely out of comisssion, no one uses these stairs.

When the first two photos were taken neither Stephen, the photographer, nor anyone standing with him noticed anything odd. The shadows were only spotted afterwards, while going through the evidence.

On the second night, Stephen went back to the same area to purposely try to debunk the shadows, trying to use different angles to recreate them. He even had people standing on either side of him to help the shadows along, but no shadows appeared.

Look at the photos on the left and let us know what you think.

This photo was taken under the same conditions as the other two. Note the lack of shadows.

 We are happy to announce some extra dates for some 4-hour ghost hunts focusing on the 1895 Alston House and the Person’s Ordinary. If you are an experienced paranormal investigator, you can take advantage of having access to 2 historic buildings with quite a bit of recorded activity.

If you are interested in the paranormal but have not been on an investigation before, we have basic equipment, and will explain the ins and outs of a ghost hunt to you.

The hunt will begin in Person’s Ordinary, which is the oldest landmark in Halifax county built in 1739. We will give you the history of the building, and both the reported activity as well as what we have been able to document on previous visits.

Depending on the level of activity and the desire of the investigators, we will then go to the Alston House. Built in 1895 this house has a mysterious past and a lot of unique features that are still being uncovered, and a lot of activity experienced by both the owners and visitors to the house.

The dates for the 4-hour hunts are:

Friday, October 17th 6:30 – 10:30

Saturday, October 18th 6:30 – 10:30

Saturday, November 15th 6:30 – 10:30

Friday, November 21 6:30 – 10:30

We are already receiving sign-ups and spots are limited, so don’t wait to RSVP here.
