Show Some thin strange in the neighborhood Meenie Miney Moe Mae Stacie Peart Arts Ed Editor tor This week my fellow and I met at Taylorsville High again This time we all came with the tools of the trade or in my case the stuff I could find at home A digital camera with relatively new batteries and my bag containing a flashlight extra batteries and a tape recorder Our first real assignment was to test our intuition along with our skills at using the tools We Ve were asked to try to find t the e location in the school where a student had died about five years ago The groups were mixed with believers and skeptics as we all searched for something paranormal My small group ventured out into the hallways to complete our assignment With my camera in hand I began to snap pictures of everything My group and andI I were looking to see an orb or other anomaly in the screen All I found were some distortions from dust particles floating in the air One person in my group brought out their digital audio recorder and began recording as we explored the building in an attempt to capture electronic voice phenomenon I actually knew the general area where the incident had happened so soI I tried to stay back and let the others lead I dont don't know if it was because I knew we were close to the area but the hallway where the student died was eerie It could've been the darker lighting or my sixth sense kicking in The groups were also permitted to explore the auditorium and the library a place that has been known to have some paranormal things The auditorium was entertaining to look through in the dark A couple of people in the group had some te hi-te tech hi-tech h tools to use like an electromagnetic pulse sensor They walked around beeping while Im I'm certain to have blinded several of my classmates with my flash In the auditorium I learned one tools tool's significance in the dark theater As I wandered around I realized that my night vision was nonexistent nonexistent nonexistent non non- existent when I tripped on a stair leading up to the stage I stumbled awkwardly caught myself and then immediately pulled out my flashlight Inspecting the halls and rooms of the school definitely allowed for some good practice in recognizing paranormal activity as well as some good conversation with the people in my group I dont don't know if I l felt anything or if I was imagining the eerie feelings around the area Only time will tell to see if this skeptic will turn rum into a believer |
