LT-OHIO members present:
Patti Lori Debbie Ivan
Introduction:
LT members arrived at 11:30 pm, Friday night. Soon after members from Rip-Ohio arrived, we were lead through
the main entrance just before midnight. Brian, our tour guide, took us on a tour and brief history of this facility
before we were allowed to further investigate on our own. Members noted the energy/atmosphere was very thick
and dense as they ventured through the hallways. Patti did report, while walking into the actual prison portion,
this felt very odd to her, "Almost like I could feel people walking through as they did years ago".
New Cafeteria:
Ivan reported: "During the initial tour with our tour guide, Brian, we were leaving the visitation room (the old
cafeteria) going towards the new cafeteria, I felt someone stop or lightly push me from walking into them". "After
being turned loose for the rest of the night, in the new cafeteria, I felt a few different feelings. On The "White side"
of the cafeteria, back by where the trays were turned in, I felt like there were what seemed to be 5 men who would
be the muscle behind the leader of whomever sat in this area. Later on, I moved down the wall towards the door
to the yard. In this area, I felt someone say 'No', as if to say not to sit here. So, I sat there. I felt this person was
separate from the other group, not only by distance, but also by time as well. This one was the one who was
'running the show' so to speak. Later on, I moved to the "Black side" of the cafeteria. I sat in a random chair at the
kitchen end of the table and I felt the feelings of someone. As long as he was looking at the table, he was fine, but
when he looked at the area where the group of 5 were, I felt his fear. I could almost taste and touch his fear, that's
how strong his fear was".
Lori reported: " The new cafeteria area definitely carried some high energy during our sit-down. Ivan had some
strong feels of unstability while sitting in a particular area . I took some temperature readings around Ivan at this
particular time and did encounter an 8-degree drop from average temperature, but this was debunked as the
door out to the yard was wide open and we felt this could of caused the drop in temperature. Activity was
definitely noted in the left - top corner of the cafeteria entrance , where the beds now sit. One of our photos show
the area with a bright orb, which was taken immediately after Patti experienced strange sounds in the area and
called me over to observe this.. .I did hear a loud bang, then it sounded as if some one was leaping or sitting
down on the first three beds, one by one, right in front of us!
Patti: " I found a lot of interest in the cafeteria area. In the left corner, as I laid on one of the beds that they have
stored in there. I heard a wisp of hard air across my ear. I slowly looked up and 3 of the beds in the corner were
making noise as though someone was sitting on them. This went from 1 to 2 to no.3 bed. I called Lori over to see
if she could hear anything which she did. It did the same thing. In the very beginning of the night, I walked into the
cafeteria. I saw a shadow person darting about as Laura from Rip-ohio was watching. I know she saw what I saw
and vis-versa. So i stayed in there a little longer.
Sugar Shack:
Patti: The sugar shack , I could feel some activity however when I would concentrate, other people would come in
and that pretty much breaks it up for me.
Lori: While in the Sugar Shack I did not feel much although on our second visit to the area, I was pulled to the far
left corner of the room. (possible shadow movement noted in left back corner) I began to run temp readings as
well as EMF readings during my walk, nothing was evident through devices. The feel began as inviting then
began to intensify as not so inviting but more daring.. this is where the possible connection to be made was
disconnected due to others moving about, within the outer hallway. I will definitely try to spend more time in this
area upon any follow up in the future!
R.D. Wall:
Ivan: "Later on, Lori, Patti and I went into the area where R.D. Wall died. As you go out the door from the
Administration Building, down the stairs into the yard and there is a set of steps that take you into where he died.
The air was heavy and thick, but tolerable throughout that visit, but on the way out. I felt the some of the attack on
R.D. I felt like I was getting beat with something in my lower back, I also felt light-headed and was having difficulty
catching my breath and I felt panic, like I knew that I needed to get the hell out of there, his feeling, not mine, but I
felt better when I got back into the yard area outside the door".
Lori stated: I, sadly, must admit that I did not pay too much attention when Brian, our tour guide shared the story
of this particular area. So once we entered this area, coming in from the yard, I felt a very strong, intense feel of
fright,, as though I needed to turn directly around and exit now. I did not sircum to these feels and continued to
move through the lower level. I felt a very strong pull to the right side of the hallway and into the far left room. I am
not sure, but definitely feel this was the spot of the final breaths taken by R.D.; the "rush" of fright was so intense
it was frightening on its very own. We disembarked the area as other members felt the intensity also.
Alamo:
Lori reported: "My most memorable, personal experience was along the lower tier , as Ivan and I walked along,
I had a serious bout with coughing as though being strangled but without the physical feel of hands or anything
around my neck. When we exited that side of the tier, we then entered the area known as "The Alamo". A few
other investigators (Rip-Ohio) were sitting in this area and I then shared my experience with them and as I spoke
with Ben, he stated that he too encountered a shortness in breath while walking through the exact same area".
Infirmary:
Ivan: "Then we went to the Infirmary. The over-powering feeling of death and blood in the air made it feel thick
and heavy. I wasn't sure I would be able to walk through that hallway. I made it through, and on the landing at the
top of the stairs outside the Infirmary, we had an EMF spike. It was too fast and I didn't see the actual reading, but
Lori figured maybe a 3 on the machine".
Lori: Hospital area still carried a strong esscense of death and stantitizing agents within the hallway. Once
again, we were greeted by "not so happy bats" during our visit. EMF spike was captured at the top of the
stairway, as we began our exit. I was not holding the detector at this time, but the beeps which state a change in
electro-field readings, did sound to me as to be a possible 3 m. (I am quite familiar with this piece of equipment
as I personally own it)
The Yard:
Lori: I had visited this area many times throughout our visit. I once again returned in the very last 30 minutes of
our visit and noted many other investigators were in the yard also, enjoying the fresh air and communicating
among each other with details of the past hours encountered. I felt a serious invite to walk about the grounds and
felt to be invited to the very back right-side corner of the yard. On my walk to the corner area, I had stopped at
some stone-built table like formations and sat there for a short while. While there, I picked up the feel of
someone who wanted to show me something in the far corner of the yard. I agreed to let them lead the way, half
way there, some force / energy , sort to say , said "no you do not want to go back there" and lead me from there
to the chapel!!! I took a few pics and then felt as though I "really" needed to get back to the "group, I came with",
and I did without even thinking about it until later.
Also of note: After I returned to the group, whom was still sitting outside and enjoying, time was running out for us
also. A member of Rip-ohio had made a comment stating that she felt some of the inmates were probably out in
this yard and a bit upset realizing that we were there enjoying ourselves with the opportunity to leave when we
wanted too, but they could not, so please go while you can.... I heard this comment and took a picture
immediately .........
Patti: The yard area. I was ok with that until the end of the night when I went out to see where the other members
were and I saw Lori walking across the yard. At that point, I felt as though someone was following her and it was
definitely a guard.
Misc:
It was rather loud in one of the cells in the front part of the prison, fourth floor . (Patti, Ivan)
