A Look Inside the Wall
The video "Inside the wall" is a look behind the mysterious cinder block wall in the basement of this home. The placement of the wall does not seem to serve any purpose. During past investigations at this home, there have been multiple EVP's recorded of a female saying "tear down the wall". The wall was accessed on a past investigation, and since then the female spirit has not been captured again on EVP recordings. She most likely was released with the opening of the wall. There does not appear to be anything but rubble behind the wall. Without actually tearing down the wall, we may not ever know what lies under the debris within the wall.

Basement flashlight play
Excuse the audio on this one, but I wanted to include it so that you could see how the spirit was interacting at times throughout the EVP session. The controversy in using a flashlight is whether or not a spirit is really interacting with the flashlight by turning it on and off, or if the flashlight is going on and off due to a connection issue, since the flashlight head is turned just past the on position. I will leave that answer up to each of you. I will say that each time the flashlight is set in this manner, I always shake it to ensure that the chance of a poor connection issue is addressed and not a potential cause.

Not everything that appears paranormal is.
Investigators, Christine (left) and Jodi (right) in the basement of the Greenville Station doing an EVP session. Notice the mouse in the upper right of the screen with glowing eyes. After setting off the REM Pod by keying up the handheld radios, you can see the mouse disappear out of view. Shortly after Christine and Jodi get scared when a sound comes from the direction of a box of noodles and dried vegetables sitting on the floor. Minutes later the REM Pod goes off again. We think that the mouse probably ran over the bag of noodles on the floor making the sound and Jodi keyed the radio when she got scared, setting off the REM Pod. It was a great debunk of a situation that otherwise appeared paranormal in nature.

REM Pod Interaction at the Greenville Station
Investigators, Christine (front right), Jodi ( front left), Tia (rear bar), and Helen (rear bar) did some role playing in the bar room at the Greenville Station with hopes of enticing the spirits of either past bartenders or patrons. As I slipped off my bar stool the REM Pod starting alarming, letting us know that a spirit was near. Was he/she checking to see if I was ok in my fictional drunken stupor? Next, Brandon, a long time paranormal investigator of the Greenville Station, announces that he will be entering the bar room. The REM Pod again alarms. It is unknown if the spirits were happy or upset to see Brandon enter the scene, but the REM Pod action produced by the spiritual response was exciting to see.

Above Video: We were doing an investigation in one of the upstairs rooms that is known to have heightened activity. During our EVP session, we got an EMF spike on our EDI device. This could indicate an entity that is trying to communicate with us.
Ghost Ark/EMF Detector
Although it may be difficult to see, the Ghost Ark that the investigator Christine was holding was illuminating in an area that had no electricity. The lights on the top of the device indicate levels of electromagnetic fields. The more lights that are illuminated, the higher the field reading. Because there was no electricity to this end of the building, one can speculate that we were picking up an EMF field of a spirit.

Child's Play-Running on Mattresses
While in the third floor school auditorium, conducting an EVP session, we hear what sounded like children running across the floor. The next thing we felt was the mattress moving underneath us. You can see the mattress moving in the video above.

Wall moves during the 5.6 magnitude earthquake
Watch as the wall with the white strip moves during the earthquake. This was the third floor just outside the auditorium where we were sleeping.

FVGH Team I and II spent the weekend at the haunted Farrar School in Maxwell, IA. Not only did we experience the paranormal, but we also experienced a major geological event. We experienced a magnitude 5.6 earthquake centered over Oklahoma. One of the more significant paranormal experiences happened the first night we were there. While conducting an EVP session in the third floor auditorium, we heard and felt what appeared to children running over one of our mattresses causing it to move. There were no sightings of the infamous "Principal" during our stay, however we did see shadow activity in the hallways. Farrar school continues to be one of the more active spots we have experienced.
