Supplemental Investigation Report
Mississippi Belle
Submitted by Andrea
Juli and I had gone to the Belle earlier that evening for dinner and before we even entered the building I was hit with a wave of emotion. I felt scared and anxious and extremely nervous. I know that these were not my feelings, but the feelings of the entities of the Belle. When we entered the building we went upstairs into the Banquet room to drop some of our stuff off. I also felt scared and nervous here, but to a lesser degree. I know that we were not alone, but that we would also not get a response from the woman who is there.
Juli and I were seated at table 11. I could feel that Veronica was there, doing her "job" of watching over the restaurant. From her I felt more anger... but I don't think that it was directed at us (HPT). She was definitely upset at what had happened during the last investigation but I am fairly assured that she was angry. Juli and I explained to her that we were sorry for what had happened in February and that we understood why she was angry. We also told her if there was anything that we could do for her, please let us know. After that discussion, I felt more relaxed and less anger.
The dining room felt as it did the last time I was there, you know you're being watched and your conversation is being heard. Aside from the more intense feelings and the worry/anger, not much had changed. I also felt that way when I was over by the front entrance of the building.
When Juli and I went down into the Wine cellar, I was overcome by fear. The poor woman down there was so afraid of us being back there. I don't know if this was directed at us as well, but it was pretty bad. Once again we explained to her that we were sorry for what had happened to her, etc. Juli placed the remaining flowers down there for her. I could tell that this didn't make her feel much better, but I also had a feeling of slight curiosity. Although I didn't think that she would attempt to communicate with us.
When Tim and I went down into the long hallway to speak to William, this was the only time that evening that I felt uncomfortable. I know the reason was not because of William, but I think it was because of the jerk in the dish room. I had conflicting feelings the entire time I was down there. From William I only felt curiosity and kindness... I know that he was comfortable with us being there. But I would also feel anger and the sense that someone wanted to not play nicely with me. I said nothing even though I was uncomfortable because I knew that it was the guy in the dish room and he is pretty much all talk. I had told him earlier in the evening that if he didn't check his energy and stay in the dish room that I would be back. I informed him that if continued to scare Hope that I would banish him without a second thought. Like Juli, I don't think he cares for me very much. I got the distinct impression that he wanted attention and since we were not giving him any he would try to mess up ant other investigations in that basement until we acknowledge him. So I did my best to ignore him.
During the time I was in the boiler room I felt nothing at all. For a few minutes I thought that I smelled cologne, but I couldn't find the source. A few times I thought that a cold spot was touching my right hand, but then we found that the windows weren't completely closed at there was an air current. When we were in the office I did feel like there was someone else there with me, but I know that there's power boxes right next to the office. Plus, the shape of the room itself is kinda weird with that hallway and that can give you the feeling that there is someone with you or even a sense of danger.
Overall, the activity level is definitely up and the entities are very emotional. I think that Juli and I should go in and see if we can't calm them down a little. I also believe that we should return to the Belle in the next few months if possible. Our best line of help is to let them know that we are friends, we mean no harm and we're here to help them. I don't want to give up on them. And hopefully, one day soon, they will fully trust us again.
