Big Bend Ghost Trackers arrived at this historic and elegant hotel with much anticipation for the nights events. Reported "ghostly encounters" of a lady ghost a hotel employee who was murdered by being thrown down an elevator shaft the ghost of her daughter and perhaps even the ghost of Floyd also a long time employee now long crossed over ......or maybe not ! Floyd enjoyed his years on the job and being at this majestic site that he has decided to return to in the after-life ...after being here at this proverbial palace I can certainly see why he is "hanging on" and grounded here. These are the reasons that brought us here. To see if indeed the Windsor does have Ghostly Inhabitants . At 8 p.m. after a round of introductions and a brief press conference with local newspapers and TV reporters. BBGT members Scott , Lacey & Ron went about collecting baseline data while members Lisa, Valynda and Betty sat up and stationed video cameras and motion detectors in key locations. This massive hotel built in 1892 as a means to attract northern visitors looking for a warm climate to "winter" in. Named after a local prominent businessman John T. Windsor . The Windsor named seemed to be perfect for this grand castle like structure. Perfect to attract the wealthy and socialites alike. Through the years it has retained it’s grandeur . Frequent guests include notables such as former President Jimmy Carter and wife Rosalyn , Jessica Tandy, Heads of State and other dignitaries . At 9 p.m. BBGT begin the nights investigation. BBGT member Scott the groups EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) expert positioned in the kitchen area with audio equipment in place in attempt to capture and record a "voice of the dead". Later when audio tapes were analyzed it appears that he did indeed capture a voice! The kitchen area is a key spot where paranormal activity has been known to occur.
BBGT photography expert Valynda in place monitoring a video camera in a 3rd. floor hallway . The 3rd. floor also is known to have paranormal activity occurrences. Later when the video tapes were reviewed it was discovered the camera had recorded an orb in motion slowing wavering from above to the hallway . Also in this same area a light that had been turned off and the bulb unscrewed for filming purposes suddenly came on then after discussing the light being turned on by seemingly unseen hands it quickly again went out....Was it the ghosts of the 3rd. floor just trying to get our attention
BBGT members Betty and Lisa in states of meditation and channeling in attempting to make contact with the ghostly inhabitants of the hotel. Betty while stationed in an adjoining 3rd. floor hallway singing in a child like voice the old turn of the century tune ‘" A tisket a tasket" suddenly felt a cool breeze on her right side and the digital thermometer displayed a sudden 6 degree drop in temperature. While continuing to sing she was clearly able to sense the presence of a young girl. After a brief time the camera recorded what appears to be orbs bouncing a short distance down the 3rd. floor hallway. The names Sallie ( with an ie) and the named Theresa was very much attached to the young girl. BBGT member Lisa was visually picking up and sensing the strong presence of an entity with the name Adams . Later while attempting to validate our findings it was discovered that in the early 1940's there had been an employee named Adams.
All members of the BBGT team took a series of photos using digital & 35MM cameras. After reviewing all of the shots it is believed that we did capture on film at least 3 bonafide photos depicting paranormal activity.
As the nights investigation progressed the EMF meters did spike from time to time as well as cold spots detected with a thermal scanner.
As the 3 and 4 a.m. hours begin to approach and no additional significant encounters occurring BBGT members decided to call it a night. After leaving video cameras in place to continue to record we then retreated to our assigned room where we discussed the nights investigation.
Based upon the criteria set fourth by Big Bend Ghost Trackers and after analyzing film, audio and video along with individual members investigation reports we do believe that the WINDSOR is indeed experiencing paranormal activity and is indeed an Authenticate Haunted Hotel.
Who Was There : All (6) BBGT team members
A special thanks to the staff of the Windsor for allowing us to conduct the investigation and for your hospitality .
