As usual, most of the interesting EVPs happen BEFORE the investigation begins. As we are being interviewed by the Poughkeepsie Journal, the spirits add their two cents. We included a lot of extra EVPs here because many seemed to relate to ongoing discussions and to our investigation. These spirits appear very attached to Kim and the property. They were very vocal when we walked in and set up. They were more quiet when we began asking questions.
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Yeah but this looks good.” (Main room)
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “I’m Here.” (Main room)

EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Bullshit.” Apparently the ghost disagreed with what Kim was saying at the time. She was telling one of her stories about the place… it was not flattering to the spirit in question. (Back room with bar)
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Please don’t upset her.” – A female voice is apparently in defense of Kim, urging her other spirit friend to lay off. (Back room with bar)

EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Look up.” – Terri felt an energy next to her and looked down as she felt it with her hand. The spirit was probably taller and was asking her to look up. This was on her recorder, which was with her at the time. (Back room with bar)

EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Keep away from it.” (Back room with bar)
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Apuntit” – This sounds like another language. Kim was talking about a Native American spirit at the time. Any ideas on what this says will be welcome. (Back room with bar)
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: Whistle then “Phew” – This came at the end of Kim’s personal story. It could be one of us.
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “I’m hurt.” – During a story Kim was telling about a relative who did something wrong… as if their spirit came back and was upset Kim was talking about it. (Back room with bar)

EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Lost it.” – Seems like residual energy. (Upstairs main room)
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Cookie.” – This is just an odd EVP. Kim was talking about bringing out chairs and making us comfortable. Perhaps the ghost wanted to offer a cookie? (Upstairs main room)

EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Yes.” – Male voice answers Terri’s question of not minding if we make jokes. (Back room with bar)
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “Coin.” – This is an important EVP as it relates to information picked up on the Paranormal Puck later on and the discovery of a Chinese coin who’s search was prompted by the Puck. This was picked up Upstairs where Nathan was hooking up the Puck to his computer. (Upstairs main room)
EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “It broke.” – Nathan was setting up the Paranormal Puck in the upstairs back room. He was having some trouble with it, as the spirit comments. (Upstairs back room)

EVP-Surviving Sisters – 2011: “I am home.” – Woman’s voice. She sounds grateful. (Upstairs back room)
Paranormal Puck – The following audio clips are from the paranormal puck that Nathan Schoonover brought with him. It is a random word generator. You’ll be able to pick out the words that led to the discovery of an odd Chinese coin that Kim had collected earlier in the day. The coin was not where she left it, but in the cupboard, near the plant with the flags, below the register where the Puck said it would be. Words that led us were Bush, Cupboard, Nation, Coin, Stunt (joke), Believe, etc. Below are just some of the sequences. Of course this is all hypothetical. The coincidence was interesting.
PARANORMAL PUCK-Surviving Sisters – 2011: Nation, Details, Above, Represent, Quite, Stunt.
PARANORMAL PUCK-Surviving Sisters – 2011: Gone, About, Lot, Nose (knows?), Women, Indicate, Bush, Wish, Million, Everything, Quite, Six, Stunt. – (FYI: There were SIX women in the building that evening.)

PARANORMAL PUCK-Surviving Sisters – 2011: Gone, Stunt, Quite, Wire, Power, Tweak. – (Indicating spirit has power to play a “stunt” and move or “tweak” the quarter to a new location? Stuff in this shop has been moved before.)

Apparently already moved from location to where we found it?)
PARANORMAL PUCK-Surviving Sisters – 2011: Miss, Size, Leave, Cupboard, Sure, East, Toward. – (This was interesting because the Poughkeepsie Journal women were preparing to leave. They would be heading South East to get home. Also, the cupboard for the quarter was mentioned again.)
