Case Studies - Masonic Lodge - Woodbury, NJ - November 29, 2002

This building lives and breathes...it has a pulse. This is the Lodge where we hold our annual lectures after Woodbury's Walking Ghost Tours. When you walk into this building, you can immediately feel the energy. The first time we ever walked into the Masonic Lodge, the energy was so intense, it literally took our breath away! We couldn’t wait to conduct an investigation of this building to see what it had to say to us. When all the evidence was in, we had obtained no less than 17 EVP recordings!

All expected an "active" investigation, but the evidence we collected was nothing less than astonishing! The second floor, by far, was the most active area of the building. Here is where you find the Grand Room, which is the main meeting room for the Lodge's members. Many apparitions were seen in this area during our investigation, as well as in the banquet room, located in the basement. Make sure you listen to the EVP recordings posted below; they are truly amazing. We present a small sampling of our findings here.

Trainee B. Powell captured this bright orb in motion in the vestibule of the Lodge. Investigator Weber captured this orb at random in the banquet room.
Investigator M. Pennock captured multiple orbs in the Grand Room, some very bright. Investigator Bove' took this multiple orb picture in the Grand Room. The alter in the middle of the picture was where Bove' had her digital recorder. Many pictures taken during this time had orbs around the alter and when reviewing her tape, Bove' found that it had recorded nothing, not even investigation notes that were voiced directly into the recorder.
Trainee B. Powell captured these orbs when he saw an apparition walk by the tables. This event was also captured on another investigator's video camera. Trainee S. Rowand is shown here, surrounded by orbs in the Grand Room in a picture captured by Investigator M. Pennock.
Although the Lodge's third floor didn't really impress any of the investigators, we did manage to capture an orb here and there as shown in this picture by Investigator M. Pennock. While sitting in the lobby, Investigator Bove' felt someone standing next to her when she turned and captured this impressive multiple orb picture.
EVP EVIDENCE

When an evp is obtained on investigations, it is not usually heard at the time. It is found later, upon reviewing the audio data. Several of our investigators experienced a most outstanding event this night.  On the second floor of the Lodge, a woman could audibly be heard singing, "La-la!"  She was literally heard singing this 4 times and our teams captured her voice on both a digital recorder and on the audio of a video camera!  In this clip, most of our radio transmission has been edited out to concentrate more on the woman's voice.  Listen to this astonishing recording which was recorded by Trainee Zarycki on the same floor the spirit was heard singing.   Listen

As previously stated, the woman singing was also captured on the audio of one of our video cameras.  As always, Investigator Hirschmann had her video camera rolling!  This audio is uncut and unedited, as it was heard by the team a floor below where she was actually singing.  It demonstrates just how loud she was!   Listen

Now, you would think, after obtaining the previous evp, that our night would have been complete!  Not so!  Based on hearing the La-Las, we knew there was a female spirit on the second floor.  Investigator Weber recorded even more unbelievable audio, just after this incident!  In the beginning of the clip, you will hear a woman singing again, but this time, she sings, "I hear you....are you here?"  You will then hear Investigator Weber ask the spirit, if she is female, what she is doing there (because the membership of the club is predominantly male).  You will hear the spirit answer her, saying, "Singing" (ask a stupid question, get a simple answer)!  You will then hear a second female spirit say, "We like to sing."   Listen
