Event log: (*All times are PM unless otherwise noted.) (*Map of auditorium seating found at end of Report.)

1034: Seated in back right section of auditorium seating with Investigators Steward & D’Amico. Investigator Juliano moved around other sections of the auditorium.

1035: Took picture of one of doorways across auditorium from us (thought I saw someone at that door); photo did not contain orbs or other evidence.

1036: Took picture of stage (felt like someone was there); photo did not contain orbs or other evidence.

1039: Took tohill2kb1039pm.jpg as Investigator Steward attempted to obtain electronic voice phenomena; also felt as if someone/ activity in back left area of auditorium seating.

1040: Took tohill2kb1040pm.jpg after Investigator Stewad completed attempt to obtain electronic voice phenomena, in attempt to capture any entity(ies) which may have been responding to Investigator Steward’s attempt.

1040: Checked temperature of stage: Investigator Steward said that someone was there, but no dramatic temperature changes noted.

1042: Investigator Steward feeling cold breezes by her face, but when temperature checked, noted no dramatic temperature changes.

1042: Took picture: Investigator Steward saw someone, and I felt like “he” was still in the area. However, my photo did not contain orbs or other evidence. Detecing male presence.

1043: Brand-new camera batteries are dead.

1044: Took tohill2kb1044pm.jpg at random—tried to take series of random pictures, but camera not cooperating despite replacement of batteries. Detecting male presence, possibly 19 years old.

1046: Took random picture of Investigator Juliano as he was attempting to obtain electronic voice phenomena. It did not contain orbs or other evidence; however, camera did make terrible grindey sound as attempting to take additional random pictures. Getting impression that male presence was an outcast in life.

1047: Took picture of front right area of auditorium seating (felt like someone was there); photo did not contain orbs or other evidence.
1050: Took tohill2kb1050pm.jpg of back right area of auditorium seating (felt like something was there).

1054: Took tohill2kb1054pm.jpg of back right area of auditorium seating (felt like something was around). Also, Investigator Steward reports feeling cold.

1057: Took tohill2kb1057pm.jpg of front left area (felt like something was there). Getting impression that someone’s been hanging around in the back right section.

1058: Took tohill2kb1059pm.jpg (thought I saw a slight movement across section).

1105: Tried seeing via peripheral vision. Felt presence in area of front right of auditorium. Took picture (photo did not contain orbs or other evidence)—needed several tries before picture finally “took”.

1107: Tried seeing via peripheral vision again. Eyes got sore; stopped at 1110.

1110: Took random picture (photo did not contain orbs or other evidence). Tried to take additional random pictures, but cameral would NOT function, so gave up for now.

1112: Took random picture (photo did not contain orbs or other evidence). Tried to take additional random pictures of front sections of auditorium seating and stage, but camera would not function.

1113: Took tohill2kb1113pm.jpg of front left seating at random; wanted to take more random pictures, and tried four or five times before giving up.

1115: Took random picture (photo did not contain orbs or other evidence); wanted to take more random pictures, but camera would not function. Noticing a pattern for this investigation: I seem to be able to “sneak in” one picture, but something is not allowing me to take additional pictures.

1117: Took random picture (photo did not contain orbs or other evidence); same thing—wanted to take more random pictures but camera would not function to allow me to do so.

1118: Took picture (thought I saw a little bit of movement on the stage), but photo did not contain orbs or other evidence.

1120: Moved to back left of auditorium seating area.

1120: Took picture of stage (felt a presence was there), but photo did not contain orbs or other evidence.
1122: Took picture of stage (felt a presence was there), but photo did not contain orbs or other evidence.

1126: Moved to stage left. Sitting on edge of stage.

1131: Investigator Juliano and I heard about 4 notes of music, but recognize that someone could have been playing random notes on a piano somewhere.

1131: Asked the group if someone is behind me; feel like I am not alone in the area of stage left.

1134-1135: Discover that the “volume knob” on the side of the Trifield EMF meter is set all the way down. “Distinctly” remember Investigator Steward and me setting the Trifield EMF meter up properly before beginning the investigation of the auditorium. Getting impression, and commented out loud, that “someone does not want to be picked up, particularly by me—he is a wallflower.” Got the chills. Getting impression that is why Trifield was all the way down, and my camera is not functioning reliably.

1138: Took tohill2kb1138pm.jpg at random of middle front of auditorium seating. Tried to take two or three more pictures, but camera is not functioning.

1139: Took picture at random (photo did not contain orbs or other evidence). Tried to take four more, but camera is not functioning. Investigator Steward notices my continuing dilemma, and says, he feels someone like me would reject him because of nerdiness, and so is not allowing me to photograph him.

1143: Took tohill2kb1143pm.jpg as Investigator Juliano attempting to obtain electronic voice phenomena.

1145: I wonder aloud if “he” is a stagehand. Investigator Steward replies that, “no, a member of the audience.”

1146: Took picture of front left (photo did not contain orbs or other evidence), as I said aloud, “maybe ‘he’ sat in this section and that’s why we’re getting ‘stuff’ here.”

1149: Tried to take picture of stage, but camera would not function.

1153: Have all but given up on camera for this investigation. Did temperature scan, but found no dramatic temperature change.

1154: Just got chill as scanned temperature, but found no dramatic temperature change.

1200AM: Have a headache on the right back of my head. It’s gone quickly, but am getting it back again. Headache gone by 1201AM.

1204AM: Took tohill2kb1204am.jpg; Investigator Steward reports a headache.

1215AM: Investigation ends.

Psychic Impressions:

I detected a strong male presence. I got impressions that this presence was approximately 19 years of age, a social outcast, and a “wallflower”—somebody who felt very self-conscious in life, and basically just wanted to disappear under the collective radar. I picture a waiflike, sad, pale, figure, in a tshirt, jeans and a jacket.

I also detected a presence in the back right of the auditorium seating, but could not ascertain any more about that presence.

Conclusion:

During this investigation, I was able to detect a strong spirit; I don’t believe this presence is residual. Finding the Trifield EMF meter tampered with (although another investigator and I distinctly remember setting it properly), and having constant trouble taking a series of pictures with my camera (although I had new batteries in it) continues to intrigue me. I am certain that we could have gotten readings on that Trifield meter had it been functional for the entire investigation.

I think that an additional investigation might allow me or other members of SJGR to gather information on the additional spirits in the theater.
