INVESTIGATION REPORT
MANSFIELD REFORMATORY MANSFIELD, OHIO
WEATHER= 59F-88F, MOON PHASE= NEW # OF INVESTIGATORS= 7
THE OHIO STATE REFORMATORY, A.K.A. MANSFIELD REFORMATORY IS A HUGE & HISTORIC PRISON. YEARS AGO, IN 2002, MGW WENT THERE FOR AN INVESTIGATION. THIS TIME, WE FOUND THE PRISON MUCH CLEANER AND MORE FUNCTIONAL FOR LARGE GROUPS. THE STAFF IS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND COURTEOUS. THE EXPERIENCES WE HAD HERE WERE INCREDIBLE AND OUR EVIDENCE SHOWS IT. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND WILL MOST LIKELY MAKE A RETURN VISIT.

| WHILE IN THE CHAPEL, WE EXPERIENCED A SESSION OF INTERACTIVITY WITH A SPIRIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WE FIRST NOTICED A DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER WAS ACTING STRANGELY, THEN REALIZED IT WAS BEING MANIPULATED. THE RED LIGHT ON THE RECORDER USUALLY STAYS LIT WHILE RECORDING, AND BLINKS DURING A PAUSE. THE BLINKING STARTED HAPPENING FOR NO REASON, AND IN A REACTIONARY WAY. THE RECORDER WAS CHECKED FOR BATTERY DRAIN AND VOICE-ACTIVATED SETTING-NEITHER WAS THE PROBLEM. WE REALIZED AFTER A FEW MINUTES THAT THE BLINKING STOPPED ON CUE WHENEVER A FLASHLIGHT WAS TURNED ON. WE STARTED TESTING THIS THEORY BY TURNING ON A FLASHLIGHT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. EVERY TIME , THE BLINKING LIGHT WENT SOLID, AND IT BECAME A GAME. SEVERAL OF US TRIED TO "FOOL" THE SPIRIT, BUT WE WERE UNABLE TO BEAT HIM AT THIS GAME. HE ALWAYS WON- UPWARDS OF 14 TIMES IN A ROW.
