The Investigation
We allowed a few guests to start off the investigation with us, including the restaurants owner, Charlotte, her son, and a member of the local Historical Society (and descendant of the properties previous owners) John Snouffer, to name a few.
Typically during an investigation, only those on our team will be allowed to participate (for many reasons). But, on occasion, we do allow those who are involved in the location to investigate along with us (hoping that whatever entity may be present will be more willing to interact). So once setup was complete, we started the investigation.
We started by sending one group into the basement area for an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) session. In the group was Mark, Mandy, Jerry, Charlotte, her son, and John. During their EVP session, we weren’t able to catch anything on audio or video, but a loud bang was heard by those in the basement. While we couldn’t find a definite cause for this noise, we cannot say that it was Paranormal without further evidence and debunking techniques.
The group finished up their EVP session and joined the rest of us in the main restaurant. We decided to then attempt a Spirit Box session, since we had so much luck with this technique our first time at this location. (Make sure to check out our first investigation report for all the details!)
A spirit box is a device that filters through AM radio stations and generates a static noise. The theory is that an entity can use the device to form words or sentences to try and communicate with us. During these sessions, one of the team members is blindfolded and listens to the Spirit Box using noise cancelling headphones, while the rest of the team asks questions in the hopes that an entity will respond. For this session, Kayla was listening to the Spirit Box while the rest of the group was asking questions. When starting a session like this we will first introduce everybody in the room to any potential entities and then start asking some questions. Once introductions are over we then move on to try to figure out who the entity is, how long they’ve been in the location, why they’re in the location etc. This session was pretty quiet compared to the first investigation, and we weren’t getting a lot of responses at first. However, one response we did get was, “I’m not talking”. After hearing this response we tried a few more times to get an entity to interact with us or answer questions from us, and we were unable to get any concrete answers. This was pretty shocking for us as a group, because during our first investigation the Spirit Box was a really helpful tool, and we had a very interesting conversation with who we believe to be Mr. Bunn; so we were expecting a lot more answers through this session. For whatever reason we weren’t getting a lot of responses, but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. Could it be that there were too many people in the restaurant during this investigation? Could this entity be someone other than Mr. Bunn and they just didn’t want to talk to us? These are some questions that we will have going into our next investigation at this location.
Once we finished up with our Spirit Box session we decided to send all of our guests home for the night while our team continued for a little while longer. Throughout this time we tried a couple of other techniques to see if we could get any activity now that the restaurant was a little quieter; however we still weren’t getting any responses, so we decided to end our investigation and pack up for the night.
Evidence
Short of some personal experiences from the evening, and what happened during the Spirit Box session, we did not end up catching any concrete evidence during the night. Even so, all in all we still had a good night.

Debunked
Since we did not catch any evidence for this investigation, we weren’t able to debunk any of the claims during the night. But, our investigation here is still ongoing and we hope to get some answers to the owners questions.
