TCPS again had nine members present for this night of investigation. Those who had been at the Palmer on the previous night’s investigation noted that the atmosphere at the location felt different from the night before. The air felt heavier and more charged with energy.

While investigating the basement, one team noted they felt surrounded by people and the room seemed to get darker and darker as time went on. Shadows were also seen again on this night of investigation and no source for the shadows could be found. One member experienced a choking sensation which she described as having two hands around her neck. Another team was able to video tape an EMF meter responding to questions from the group. No activity was noted from the Main Floor of the Palmer.

Not too much activity was noted from the Second Floor either. One team was able to get responses on an EMF meter to questions. Another group also stated they had a seven degree temperature drop while investigating. One member was also touched on her head during the time of the temperature change.

On the Third Floor, one member stated it felt as though her face was scratched. There were no marks on her face and she was not around anything at the time that would have made the scratching sensation. Camera malfunctions were also noted on this floor from several groups. The last teams to investigate this floor kept seeing shadows pass underneath the door, as though someone was walking outside in the hallway by the door. The team checked the hallway and no one was present. It should be noted that this same phenomena occurred on the previous night’s investigation too. One member from this team had one of her legs become very cold. The room temperature at the time of this experience was 75°. Upon measuring the air around this member’s leg, the temp reading was 60°. One could literally put their hand by the member’s leg and feel the temp difference between that of the room and the temperature by the member’s leg.

Final Analysis

TCPS stands by our previous assessments that the Palmer House is indeed haunted. We will continue to come back to the Palmer in an effort to gain more evidence and/or explanations for the activity experienced at this location as well as to debunk some of our experiences and stories from employees/visitors. Keep checking back for more updates!
