was also found in researching that back in 1763 there was a jail named Lancaster Jail which
held 14 Conestoga Indians as inmates in which the there was a mob known as the “Paxton
Boys” who broke into the jail and captured and killed the Indians. It was noted
in the report that in 1881 a portion of Fulton Hall was built where the Lancaster Jail was located. It
is reported that if standing within the section of the Opera House built atop where the Lancaster Jail was once located one
may be able to still hear the screams from the Indians.
Our investigation:
This was the 2nd time CPEAR has been to the Opera house. We brought a 3 man team and all of our equipment
this time for the investigation. This also gave us a chance to try out Chucks new Tri-field meter.
It was around 7pm when we officially started
investigating the Opera house. We started on the main stage, where right away we were getting spikes on our KII meter. It
seemed to be answering direct questions and had intelligence to it. We quickly brought out the tri-field EMF meter and were
getting many hits and responses with that as well. Please see the video below.
During our time on stage, we heard a noise coming from the
upper balcany. We had asked for what ever was there to make that noise again. Right after we asked, it sounded as if
someone was moving around up there, almost like heavy footsteps or rustling. We quickly ran up there to see if someone
else had gotten into the building. There was nobody there. We were alone.
The night started off very active, very early. After exploring
the sounds we were hearing, it got very quiet. What we thought was going to be a very active night, turned out to be quiet
the remainder of the night. Near 1am in the morning, Chuck had thought he heard the sound of footsteps on the 2nd floor above
us. He went upstairs to check it out and found nothing.
One thing we did discover is in the utility room in the back, there is a large hole
in the floor covered by a piece of plywood. In the hole was a ton of rushing water. We were not sure if this was the storm
drain system or an underground river. In any case, it is a theory that running water is can feed paranormal activity.
It could be the energy it creates and the spirits may be feeding off that energy.

video below for our experiences on the main stage.
