INVESTIGATION REPORT

RETURN VISIT TO JACKSON'S UNDERWORLD     JACKSON, MI

WEATHER= 82F     MOON PHASE= WANING GIBBOUS     # OF INVESTIGATORS= 8

THIS BUILDING, BUILT IN 1912, WAS ONCE USED AS A FACTORY FOR MANUFACTURING GUN TURRETS FOR TANKS DURING WWII. IT WAS ALSO A PLACE WHERE MEDICINES WERE MANUFACTURED, AND IT WAS A FURNITURE FACTORY FOR MANY YEARS. DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THE 11 ACRE CAMP BLAIR WAS ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH HOUSED 22,00 WOUNDED UNION TROOPS WHEN THEY RETURNED FROM WAR. ON THE GROUNDS WERE A HOSPITAL, OFFICES, AND STORAGE BUILDINGS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEATHS WITHIN THE BUILDING, INCLUDING 2 PEOPLE CRUSHED BY A FALLING GUN TURRET, AND AN ELEVATOR FALLING & KILLING 12 PEOPLE. IT IS NOW A YOUTH CENTER, COMPLETE WITH VIDEO GAMES, A DJ & DANCE FLOOR, POOL TABLES, REFRESHMENTS, AND A HUGE BIG SCREEN WHERE MOVIES ARE SHOWN. IT IS ALSO HOME TO ONE OF THE VERY BEST HAUNTED HOUSE ATTRACTIONS IN MICHIGAN: JACKSON'S UNDERWORLD   THE OWNERS ARE THE VERY SAME WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO OWNED THE HOMER MILL, WHICH BURNED DOWN EARLY IN 2010. SOME OF THE REMAINS OF THE HOMER MILL'S PROPS ARE BEING MOVED HERE FOR REFURBISHMENT, INCREASING THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. WE WERE INVITED IN EARLY AUGUST, 2010 TO INVESTIGATE THIS AMAZING 200,000 SQ. FOOT BUILDING TO SEE IF REAL SPIRITS HAUNT IT, AND WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. OUR EXPERIENCES IN THIS BUILDING INCLUDED FEELINGS OF DREAD, SEEING SHADOW PEOPLE, AND ONE INVESTIGATOR EVEN FELT AS IF HER HAND WAS BEING CRUSHED. LATER THE SAME MONTH, WE MADE A RETURN VISIT TO SEE IF WE COULD CAPTURE EVEN MORE EVIDENCE OF SPIRITS RESIDING WITHIN THIS BUILDING-AND AGAIN- WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED.
