This is a video from the newly renovated Louie, Davenport Hotel room 248, where Louis Davenport stayed from1890 to 1893.
He usually doesn't like to use equipment , but since it was the 4th of July, maybe he decided to say hello by rolling the flash light on the counter. I also got a confirmation on the voice recorder that he was there.
Psychic medium Jennifer Von Behren sees him standing to the left of the counter and after he pushes the flash light, he looks straight in the camera and smiles.

This is a short partial video from the Nez Perce County Court House jail cell area cell session with a young male spirit, who was wrongly accused and hung; not an official hanging. He is now trying to help those ,who are in the same situation as he was, keep calm.
He was having a little bit of a hard time turning on the flashlight and kept saying " darn flashlight".
Be sure to check out all 4 videos from the court house posted and read the post about the court house and all the ghosts that we encountered.

This is a partial video from the Nez Perce County Court House cell hallway session. We are talking with a Native American female and a white male spirit.
These spirits liked using the dead bell and the hydra unit to communicate.
For all the info on the spirits at the court house, please check out the post Ghost activity at the Nez Perce County Court House below.

This is a partial video from the old Nez Perce County Court House isolation cells hallway, where we are talking with a mentally challenged male spirit, who is fascinated by the music box. He asked us if he could keep it and if we could please leave it for him.

Here is a part of the session from the old Nez Perce County Court House, where we are talking with a little boy named Charlie and his mom. Charlie likes to play with the hydra sensor unit ,that turns the blue lights white the most. He is arguing with his mom, because he wants both lollipops and his mom tells him to choose one and also tells him to stop touching the toys randomly, which gives us conflicting answers.

GHOST ACTIVITY AT THE OLD NEZ PERCE COUNTY COURTHOUSE IN LEWISTON, ID

I was invited to go investigate the old Nez Perce County Court House located in Lewiston, ID with S.L.A.S.H.[ Surrounding Lewiston Area Spirit Hunters], Zach Adkins and Josh Paulat few days before it was set to be demolished due to being structurally inadequate for its current use, not safe and too costly to repair.
One would need more than few hours to go thru this 35,500 s.f. building, but we were able to get spirit communication in several areas with the voice recorder and the equipment that we set out.
We could see movement in some areas, felt energy changes in active areas and my arms were touched in courtroom 3.
There is much residual energy left, that goes back to 1882, when it was the Luna House Hotel and the 1st court house.
It was torn down in 1889 and the 2nd court house , a 2-story brick masonry court house with basement vaults and cupola tower was constructed on the same location.
Since 1905 there has been multiple additions to the building, including a 3-story addition in 1928, that included the court jail on the 3rd floor and sadly, a removal of the cupola.
In 1973 another 3-story addition was built and in 2007 a new jail was constructed . In 2008 a new holding facility and a sally port was added.
I went over the video and pictures with Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren to see, if she could validate what we got .
Jennifer could see at least one ghost in all the areas, where we got communication with the equipment and in some, she could hear laughing.
In the last isolation cell to the right, Jennifer could hear and see a bold man banging his head on the wall over and over.
In another isolation cell she could hear someone totally freaking out, banging and hitting the wall. We were told that there had been a man, who was claustrophobic and did not want to be in the cell.
He would try to dig thru' the wall, beat on the camera and tried to remove the window on the door; which he succeed in doing and tossed it down the hallway.
The shower areas in jails generally do not have a great energy due to bad things, that had happened there.
In the men's shower room, Jennifer could see a little boy ghost, whose name is Charlie and his mom. They have been in the building for a long time. The mom used to work as a cleaning lady at nights at the court house and would bring her son with her.
Charlie seems to be a happy little boy, who liked to play with the "toys" we had set on the floor. However, the mother feels that he is quite a handful and keeps telling him over and over to not push the button or not play with the toys. We would get conflicting answers due to Charlie just wanting to set the equipment off for yes, when the mom would respond no. Charlie got especially excited when I asked him if he wanted a lollipop. I asked if he wanted a green or a blue wrapper one to which he said both. However the mom told him to choose one and Charlie kept insisting he wants them both. Eventually he picked the blue one.
Charlie likes to run around the building and freak people out as he thinks it's fun. Some people would talk to him .
He and his mom passed away in a possible car accident.
In one of the regular jail cells, where I was able to communicate with the spirit, Jennifer sees a younger male spirit, who actually popped in to talk to me and Jennifer as we were reviewing the videos. He had been accused of a crime that he didn't commit and was hung by the guards.
First hangings in Idaho were in 1864 and the last one in 1957. However this was not an official hanging and most likely not recorded as such, if at all. He, as well as the other ghosts in the building, was not happy about having to move due to the demolition, but he wants to make his misfortune into something positive by helping keep those, who are in the same situation as he was, calm.
Something we all should try to do.
In the cell block hallway, Jennifer could see a Native American female and a big, bulky and bold white male spirit interacting with the equipment. The female spirit was quite excited to help. They had both been there a long time; the female since the Luna House times.
In the court room 1 jury room, Jennifer could see a male spirit, who interacted with us briefly. Someone made Jennifer's head hurt bad by the court room 1 and Becki Marks felt a heavy energy vibe there.
In courtroom 2, the little boys mom was interacting with us using the equipment. She knew the passed on judge and the clerk, that Grace Altman asked her about. The clerk actually showed up and rang the dead bell to let us know she was there.
In one of the rooms , that had an exit to the outside that led to the roof, Jennifer saw a guard. The same guard showed up in court room 3 to talk to us. He was adamant to try and make all the gadgets to work and when he did, his face lit up of excitement and being so proud of himself for succeeding in setting things off.
In the session, in the isolation area hallway, Jennifer saw a mentally challenged male spirit using the equipment. He especially loved the music box and would turn it on constantly. He also knew Charlie, the little boy, who he protects. He had been there on and off for a long time.
He liked the music box so much, that he asked if he can keep it and please leave it for him.
In one of the offices Jennifer saw an older woman, who liked to smoke and could hear someone calling her Margaret.
In the "dome" video on face book by Joseph Gish, Jennifer hears a female spirit say "hello". Jennifer felt that some sketchy things had happened there in the past.
By the vault or safe looking door , Jennifer wants to go behind the wall as she feels like someone was trying to break thru' the vault.
We were able to get video evidence in the court room 1 jury room, cell block hallway. in one of the cells, court room 2 and 3, isolation area hallway and the men's shower room.
Voice recorder responses in court rooms 2,3,4 and 5, court room 1 jury room, isolation and cell block areas, women's basement bathroom, old boiler room and a room by it ,where Jennifer could hear laughing and men's shower area.
I will try to post some of the video from the investigation.
Some of the historical aspects of this old court house will be kept and moved into the new court house.
Whether people want it or not, all the ghosts are forced to find a new home after the demolition , so the new court house will inherit more than just the historical items it seems. Moving or destroying a building will not move the ghosts always.
A huge thank you to county commissioner Joe Gish for a great tour and all the help in getting us in the court house to investigate, as well as to all the other commissioners involved.
Also I want to thank Becki Marks and Grace Altman with S.L.A.S.H. for the invite and Zach Adkins and Josh Paulat for their help during the investigation.

GHOSTS AT THE CRAIGDARROCH/ DUNSMUIR CASTLE IN VICTORIA, BC

Craigdarroch Castle, a single most expensive residence built in western Canada completed in 1890, was built for a Scottish coal baron and a railway tycoon Robert Dunsmuir [1825-1889] and his wife Joan Dunsmuir [1828-1908] . The Dunsmuirs had 10 children, which was quite common in those days.
Sadly, Mr. Dunsmuir passed away a year before the castle was ready to be moved in. After his passing, Joan , with her 2 daughters, left for Europe and left the matters of completing the castle to her 2 sons James and Alex.
Joan, with her 3 daughters and 2 grandchildren, who were orphaned after Joan's daughter Agnes and her husband passed away, moved in the castle in 1890.
Robert Dunsmuir left everything to his wife in his will, which angered his 2 sons.
To add fuel to the fire, Alex passed away in 1900 and left everything to his brother James, which caused his mother to file a lawsuit against James and the family drifted apart.
Joan Dunsmuir passed away in 1908 without a reconciliation with her son James. She left most everything to her living daughters in her will.
Businessman Solomon Cameron won the castle in a lottery and got the title to it in 1910, but he didn't want to live there. Even with a caretaker, the house was neglected, deserted and started to decay.
The bank foreclosed it in 1919, after which it was used as a military hospital for soldiers, A Victoria College, a music conservatory and offices for the school board staff.
Since 1979 the castle has been operated solely as a museum.
As beautiful and amazing as the castle is today, it is no wonder, that there is quite a lot of residual energy left over from all the people and places that once occupied it.
Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren feels that there is more residual energy there than paranormal activity., however she could see several ghosts still remaining in the castle.
She saw a military man standing by the main stair case and she picked up a female energy in the Living room/sitting room area.
She also picked up a female school teacher's spirit in the castle.
Jennifer heard a female spirit say that "mom" is here, so it could be that Mrs. Dunsmuir and one of her daughters is still around, especially on the 2nd floor ,where Mrs. Dunsmuir's suite was.
Jennifer can see a train bringing in soldiers and she also keeps seeing bunks, like hospital beds, which were from the 2nd to 4th floor.
In Robert Dunsmuir's room Jen could feel that he was sick and he is still present in his old room.
Jennifer feels that someone passed away in the garden.
The staff side of the house feels heavy and has a feeling of exhaustion.
The over all energy of the house feels heavy and not great to Jennifer. It almost feels " hollow" to her. She heard a female spirit say ,that the castle was more fun when it was empty. That is when it was more active and the ghosts hung out there more.
Walking thru' this beautiful castle there were definitely areas , where the energy felt heavy, especially on the 3rd and 4th floor of the servant side, but also in some of the rooms on the main side.
I was able to get several male and female responses on the voice recorder in the music room/sitting room, dining room, bedrooms, bath room by the bedroom, bedroom with a kitchen, large room on the 4th floor, tower, another bathroom and the servants room.
The Castle Society has done an amazing job restoring this beautiful and historic building.
Craigdarroch Castle was added to the National Historic Site in 1992.

CRYPTICS AT THE BLACK DIAMOND CEMETERY, BLACK DIAMOND,WA

Black Diamond Cemetery in Black Diamond, WA, was established in 1884 by the Black Diamond Coal Mining Company.
It started as a cemetery for the coal miners, many of which were immigrants, and their families, but it was open for other residents of the area as well.
This cemetery is on the most haunted places in WA list.
Many miners lost their lives in a mining explosion, that happened in 1910, but there was also a mining explosion in 1902 and 1915.
Influenza and small box claimed many children in the early 20th century as well.
According to Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren, the over all feel of this cemetery is not bad, to which I agree, after visiting this cemetery.
However Jennifer Von Behren feels, that there are lots of cryptic beings there.
They are beings, that use camouflage to blend in.
Jennifer could also see a very tall and dark male, with very long arms, who is not human. He doesn't interact with people, as he likes to keep to himself.
There was an area, where Jennifer felt super sick and dizzy.
It was close to an area, where I could feel an energy change.
I did an evp [electronic voice phenomena] session there and got a response on the voice recorder.
The grave that was there, belongs to a Scandinavian man, who was very unhappy. Someone had cut down a tree by his grave that he had really liked a lot for some reason.
He has been there for a long time and is not buried next to his family.
I was able to get voice responses in few other areas at the cemetery as well.
Black Diamond Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
Always leave the area as you found it and be respectful.

ACTIVITY AT THE METALINE CEMETERY, WA

On our way back from Metaline ,WA [a town that was incorporated in 1948], a fellow investigator Eric Crabtree and I decided to stop at the Metaline Cemetery.
Metaline Cemetery is not listed as a haunted cemetery, but according to psychic medium Jennifer Von Behren, the cemetery feels busy and has lot of paranormal activity.
As we were walking around, I passed an area, that had a very strong energy shift by it.
Later on I had Jennifer look at the pictures of that area and she could see a male and a younger female spirit by one of the graves I was at. She believed that the male spirit was the father of the female spirit.
I returned to the cemetery later on with a voice recorder and did a session by the grave I had felt the energy at . I got an immediate response, although the energy shift was not as strong this time.
Close to the same area, I could feel another presence and got a voice response there immediately as well.
I consulted with Jennifer Von Behren again and she saw the same 2 spirits still by the same grave as before.
Jennifer could also see a little boy standing by one of the children's graves.
Eric Crabtree felt a presence on the left side of the cemetery, that seemed to have most of the activity.
The cemetery has many war veterans as well.
We were told at the Gardner Cave, that a person , who had written her name on one of the rock formations, was buried at the Metaline Cemetery. Her first name was Pearl we were told, but we did not see her grave at the cemetery.
Metaline Cemetery is well taken care of and a beautiful place to visit.
Always remember to leave the place as is and show respect to those , who lay there.

STONEHENGE, WA

Most of you have probably heard of the Stonehenge, that is located at Wiltshire County , England. It was built in phases beginning about 3100BC, but mainly around 2600BC and 2500BC.
There is a mystery and a debate as to what was the purpose for it,
The conclusion seems to be, that it was built for burial , astronomical and ceremonial purposes.
Most people however, have never heard of the Stonehenge, located at Klickitat County, WA. It is a full replica of the original Stonehenge in England.
It was built by an entrepreneur, quaker and Maryhill Museum of Art founder Samuel Hill [1857-1931]in 1918, however the construction wasn't completed till 1929.
It is the Nations 1st WW1 memorial dedicated for the service men of Klickitat County ,WA. You will find names of 12 service men on the inside stones.
The WA Stonehenge was built using reinforced concrete, unlike the original in England built with stone.
The astronomical alignment differs from that of the original as well.
Many people go to the original Stonehenge during solstices.
They say there is a special energy feel and vibration at the location of the stones.
Psychic Medium Jennifer VonBehren has been to the original location. She feels that the WA location has a different energy feel. It is "buzzy", but not as at the original Stonehenge or not the same level vibration as at the original Stonehenge.
Maybe perhaps one reason is that the WA Stonehenge isn't made of stone.
Out of curiosity I did a quick evp {electronic voice phenomena] session at the WA location and got a response. It was a male spirit, who said his name is Fred, Frederick.
Both Stonehenges are located at a peaceful and beautiful area, which is perfect for just taking it all in in silence and feeling the special vibration there.
The Stonehenge in England was added to UNESCO's list of world Heritage sites in 1986.
The WA Stonehenge was added to NRHP[National Register of Historic Places] in 2021.

This recording was captured with a dr60 voice recorder, which is seldomly this clear, at the old Lewiston Court House. You should be able to hear the responses to the questions without headphones, however they are always clearer with them.
