Spirits From Ripley's

 

Ripley's Believe It Or Not seems to have more than just artifacts from different locations around the world. Some seem to be there from the Paranormal Realm, which I had the opportunity to investigate and experience.

Just like at the Old Jail, you go through a little bit of an introduction, a run over of the gear that they have to let you use, then you are released to investigate the building. I was not expecting all the activity that we had the opportunity to witness, and it definitely itched the scratch of wanting to get some interactions to see if there was paranormal activity.

This location gave more EVP evidence than anything else. Which part of it was receiving the name Steve a few times. Then there was a time frame where it said "switch", which I was there with a friend, and asked if it wanted me to hand the spirit box to my friend, which we received the response "yes" and it then proceeded to whistle at him a few times.

At this location, we were not receiving very many spirit orbs, but was a lot more heavy on the Voice Phenomena when we were asking questions. Now the one time that I had some concern was mentioning that I was going to go downstairs, and got a very heavy, deep, angry sounding NO! Response through the spirit box, which, much to say, I did not go downstairs at that point.

Then towards the end of the investigation, we were standing in one of the exhibits and received the response "Die" or "Will Die" and at that point my buddy as well as myself were like, nope we are stepping out of this room and going elsewhere.

Either way, that was my first investigation before doing the Old Jail investigation and hope that you guys enjoyed reading this.

Hi VloggerTom

Do the items there have any information on its history or even the previous owners?

Locations can become 'infused' with the 'intent and energy' of those who investigate a location. Ripley's not only has the 'ghost tours' but they have so many objects that could have attachments that interact with visitors. I wonder if some of those are 'residual' type attachments... When investigators are close a 'playback' of something from the object history happens, while others are 'intelligent' type which actually interact with investigators. All in all it sounds like it was a good investigation just keep in Mind 'DIE and WILL DIE' may simply have been a Spirit expressing they had had enough and were trying to scare you off. Thanks for sharing.

Respectfully,

Rook

Is this location St.Augustine?
If so, I think it's more likely the location that's haunted and not the "stuff" in the building. I remember going there as a teenager and it being SO creepy, but we had also gone to the old fort that day and I know there was paranormal energy there. The day was almost imprinted on me as spooky, and it was just a normal day at the beach, sightseeing with my parents and cousins. I didn't even have the paranormal on my radar at that time in my life.

[at] Rajine, yeah that's what I have heard as well, and I feel like with an area when you have so many things from so many groups all together in one area, then there's bound to be some spirits that are hanging around. I know when I was walking around there were what appeared to be different voices that came through the spirit box.

I know the name that said No was definitely really deep compared to the voice that said its name was Steve, and then the voice that told us "switch" was a different voice then the other two, so I know there was at least a couple different spirits that were present there, and I'm willing to bet a few of them were definitely attached to some of the items that were brought in and put on display there.

Material things have long been known to be possessed or haunted, usually by people who owned them previously that have passed on.
