On this investigation, the bulk of activity occurred in the downstairs office waiting room area. This activity included various cold spots recorded, the feeling of a presence in the room, and goosebumps.

On one occasion, one of the teams witnessed a tall, black, shadowy figure move around the room, were able to get two of the doors to open and close on command and experienced a loss of time. The team felt as if they had been in the room half an hour, where in all actuality, they had spent two hours in the room. Unfortunately, there was no video camera in the room to record these events that took place. No EVP's were captured on the audio recorders.

When a second team spent some time in the room (they were unaware of the first team's experiences in the room), they also felt a presence in the room, recorded cold spots, one of the investigators got a headache, another felt noxious, and two investigators felt a heaviness in their chest.

One very strange incident that happened, was when a guest investigator, Deb, who did not know everyone in the PRISM team, sat down on a bench in the church to relax. She had sat down next to a woman whom she thought was a PRISM investigator, and spoke to her about various things that had occurred throughout the investigation. Later that night, she decided to try and locate the woman again, and to her surprise, she realized that the woman that she had been speaking to was nowhere to be found in the church. She quickly realized that the woman was not a PRISM investigator, and that the woman she had been talking to was never in the church to begin with. Did Deb actually interact with a female spirit or is there a logical explanation for what happened? We may never know.

Video Evidence:

First Unitarian Church - Sanctuary

(10:51 pm) A strange light anomaly appears on the right hand side of the screen. There is also an orb to the left of the light anomaly and some some faint orbs, which are most likely dust "orbs".

Note: Looped video clip taken from an infrared video surveillance camera.

First Unitarian Church - Sanctuary

(1:18 am) A very solid, bright orb travels from the entrance of the sanctuary towards the camera which was set-up on the opposite side of the sanctuary.

Note: Looped video clip taken from an infrared video surveillance camera.

First Unitarian Church - Sanctuary Video

These are the highlights of the infrared surveillance camera footage that was filmed in the main sanctuary of the church. The camera was sitting on the preacher's podium and was facing towards the front of the sanctuary, with a view of the pipe organs and the ceiling.

We were trying to capture the black shadowy figures that were seen by several investigators during our last investigation of the church. Unfortunately we didn't see them this time around, but we did capture some really interesting bright orbs flying around the sanctuary, along with other strange light anomalies.

First Unitarian Church - Sanctuary Entrance

An interesting light anomaly photographed in the doorway leading into the sanctuary. Coincidentally, this was the same area that a shadowy figure was photographed by the team on the 2/18/05 investigation of the church.

A large orb shows up in this photo by a chair in the corner of the main sanctuary. An EMF spike of 3mG was recorded around the chair immediately prior to this photo being taken.

First Unitarian Church - Sanctuary

This photo contains various light anomalies. There is a large orb at the top left of the photo, a smaller one on the bottom of the photo, and two light streaks. We are unsure as to what the light streaks may be, as there is no apparent light source.
