The 1875 Inn at Tilton, NH - Paranormal Night
April 24, 2010

SPI was invited back to The 1875 Inn at Tilton for paranormal night on April 24, 2010, to present the evidence we collected from our March 20th, 2010, investigation. Representating SPI were Susan Allen, Lead Investigator, Patti Basiliere, Case Manager, and John Basiliere, Tech Manager. We spoke to an audience of 53 people.

After the guests enjoyed a fine meal, Joanna Oliver, our gracious hostess and proprietor of The 1875 Inn at Tilton, gave a presentation that included the history of the Inn and of the resident ghost, Laura, who is said to still reside at the Inn. During her presentation, she mentioned that she was once told by a psychic that she had 30 entities that stay at the Inn. The evidence we collected from our investigation concluded that there were two that we know about - Laura who died in a fire at the Inn at the age of 12, and a second younger girl that we estimate to be about 4 yrs. old.

When Joanna concluded her oration, SPI began their presentation. Upon introducing ourselves to the audience, Sue exploited questions that are often asked such as, "Have you found proof that there is life after death?"; "Can a person interact with those that have passed over to the other side and those that have not?", etc., etc. Patti discussed terminology that is often used in the paranormal field and provided descriptions as best we know them. John offered a "show and tell" session describing to the audience the equipment we use during our investigations and showing how each instrument works. While John was explaining the Cell Sensor (EMF) Meter, the cell sensor lit up reacting as if to tell us there was some unknown energy around us. Debbie LaValley, a guest in the audience was kind enough to send us a video clip that she captured when the Cell Sensor went off.  To view the video clip that Debbie captured, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu8dKi5ZbLE  The same thing happened when he was showing and explaining the KII Meter. The KII meter actually lit up to the amber light which is the third light out of the five lights on the meter. This also alerted us that there was energy around us that we were not aware of and that the energy might have been that of an entity.  Though we did not see it ourselves, there were a couple of guests that told us while we were talking and not looking at the meter, the lights lit up all the way to red.  Again, Debbie LaValley was kind enough to send us another clip that shows the Cell Sensor Meter lighting up and blinking as well as the KII Meter lighting up and blinking.  Please click on this link to view a longer version of the above mentioned video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmdjVzXHX-g

We concluded the evening by showing a video clip of an energy spike (which we believe to be a ghost) that we had captured during the investigation. We attempted to make available to the audience some EVP's (electronic voice phenomena), but unfortunately they were too faint and could not be heard very well. However, we were able to have the audience listen to one of the EVP's we captured during the investigation when we were asking Laura if she was in the Mary Baker Eddy Room with us, and there was a female response that said either, "I'm here." or "I am."

We want to thank Joanna for inviting us to join her for this event. We also want to thank Joanna's staff for their hospitality and Nick, the infamous chef for his wonderful meals. It appeared that the audience found the evening to be fun, informative, and pleasurable.
