CAPS Investigates Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, KY

Eleven CAPS Core Team members investigated Waverly Hills on Sunday night - May 22nd. We just arrived home yesterday afternoon.

While personal experiences are not considered evidence, they are deemed important, and almost everyone in the group had at least one.

We used (8) Sony Hi8 night-shot cameras on tripods with IR illuminators, (3)roving Night Shot cameras with IR illuminators (these accompanied the teams as they investigated), (2) full spectrum HD video recorders on tripods with IR illuminators, (2) full spectrum digital cameras, (1) roving full spectrum video camera with IR Illuminator, and (1) roving FLIR thermal imaging camera. Of course, team members ran digital audio recorders the entire time, and used digital cameras as well.

With this much footage and audio to review, it will be some time before we can complete our analysis. We will post anything we find. In the meantime, we will discuss the investigation and relate our personal experiences at this month's Meetup on Friday - May 27th at 7pm at Caribou Coffee on East Blvd. Please plan
to join us.

On a personal note, I will say that if you ever get a chance to investigate Waverly, go for it! It has been the most active site I have ever seen (and I have been to many across the country). I know I speak for my fellow team members as well when I say that the place, the images and the experience stays with you.

Announcing CAPS May Paranormal Class

We are excited to announce that renown local Psychic/Medium Mary Beth Wrenn will
be teaching our May Paranormal Class on Friday - May 20th at 7PM. Please see the details below:

Ghostly Investigations & Respect for the Dead

"Spirits are not entertainment. I repeat the spirit world is not entertainment." The spirit world is real and is to be respected. The spirit world is aware of your energy all the time. As soon as you enter a haunted location, your aura is being scanned. If your intention is for good and for understanding and you have a lot of patience - the spirit world will respond in kind. But if you go into a haunting with the intention to provoke 'remember garbage in... Garbage out!' The spirit world can react in a very negative and emotionally draining way. You could very possible be attached psychically,emotionally and physically and worst yet, you could be possessed by a spirit who won't let go".

Join Psychic/Medium Mary Beth Wrenn for an in-depth discussion about Ghostly Investigations and Respect for the Dead. Mary Beth is a full time professional Psychic/Medium who's been in practice for over 20 some years, having investigated hauntings in both NJ and in North Carolina. She resides in the Charlotte Metro reading clients in-person, on the phone and online. For more information just go to www.marybethwrenn.com
