Supplemental Investigation Report
Mississippi Belle
Submitted by Judy
The team first had a briefing at Tim’s house and then the team departed for the investigation site.
Once the team arrived we were greeted by one of the owners Bill. All equipment was placed in the dining area for assembly. I noted upon entrance that a female presence was detected on the north side of the dining area around table 11. I was instructed by Tim to set up a video recorder to see if we could capture any movement of utensils, glassware or plates. The owners divulged that during one seating at that table that a wineglass was captured moving across the table for no reason. They checked to see if any moisture was detected under the glass to cause the movement but none was found. They put the glass back to where it was originally sitting and again the glass moved for no apparent reason.
While everyone was getting equipment for set up, I took a walk over to the bottom of the steps that lead to the ball room at that time I heard a male growling at me in a low tone. I backed off and headed back into the dining room area.
As Tim and Juli where setting up equipment up in the ballroom. I walked over to the back entrance, which was facing west and stood by the steps. During this time I heard what sounded like chimes going off. JJ had come up to me and I asked her if she heard the same thing. She replied yes. Tim entered the dining area and we began to set up the team in different locations. . Juli and Josh were sent up to the ballroom. I followed Erin, JJ, Jessica and Nate to the basement area where they where placed in different parts. I entered the small room on the West Side and got the feeling like choking in there.
Once the team was placed in their designated area’s me and Tim decided that we would investigate the office / boiler room area. We left the basement and entered the office area. Tim and I started calling but did not receive any responses at that time. Tim and I decided that we would check out the boiler room together. As Tim entered the boiler room I remained in the office area and stood by the door. I asked one more time for a name and heard a male say “William” in a low raspy voice. This startled me as I had never gotten a response where I physically heard it. I joined Tim in the boiler room and began to call out and take some pictures. Tim seemed to be getting responses back from the presence that was in there as he called. I detected a male around the age of 25-30 on the south side of the room and I detected he was the only spirit in the room with us. Nate approached the door and indicated that while he and Jessica were in the basement area that something grabbed him by the throat. Tim and I headed to the basement area to check it out. As the team stayed in the dining area Tim and I entered the basement area. I got the strong feeling that we should not have entered down there and that someone was very angry with us. Tim and I entered a small room located on the West Side of the basement. This room was originally stationed with Jessica and Nate. As Tim was challenging the spirit/s I saw a shadow pass directly in front of me outside the room. I asked Tim if there were any windows and he indicated no. after a period we left and went back up stairs. Tim, Erin and JJ returned to the basement and I had Jessica and Nate go to the office and boiler room to investigate. I then proceeded to the ballroom where Juli and Josh were stationed to see how they were doing. I felt a Female presence and for some reason felt that she was either part of a fire that had occurred there or in a nearby building. Juli indicated that she was feeling the same thing and I was able to locate the same area where Juli picked up the female. She also indicated that a second female was detected in the room however I did not feel her presence at that time. Erin and JJ came up and Juli and Josh went down into the dining area. Tim had Juli and Josh go down into the basement with him and I continued to look around. I entered the kitchen area and began to take some pictures. I noticed when I hit the top of the steps by the basement area I sensed and felt that if I entered the basement that something would happen. I did venture halfway down but had to return to the kitchen area as I felt like I was being suffocated.
I then left the kitchen area and found Nate and Jessica standing in the dining area resting. Nate appeared to still be shook up and stated he would not go back in the basement area. I made my way to the ballroom area where JJ and Erin were sitting in the middle of the room under chandelier. I noticed that the Ghost detector light was continuously flashing so I asked JJ to let me see it. The detector continued to go off and then stop when I turned a certain direction. I was checking to see if the batteries were possibly bad but did not detect that. I am assuming that part of the flashing may have been caused by some kind of current that was running through the room. I think that some of the wiring and piping in that room was tripping the meter in some incidents but cannot account for the activity that the meter produced when questions were asked in the room while they sat. I did view Erin following the commands of JJ while she appeared to have a spirit by the name of Audrey talking through her. I asked JJ who she was speaking with and she indicated Audrey at this point.
I then left the room and met up with Juli in the dining area. Tim then instructed Juli, Josh and I to sit at table #11 to see if we could provoke something. Juli and me sensed that there were no spirits at the table. Juli was then summoned by Tim to come in the basement area and I was instructed to talk with the owners at table #11 to see if we could any activity. After a brief period of talking with the owners and the cook. We all made our way down to the basement where the investigation then stopped.
