The first show. Time for ghosts. Yay! Time for the spirit. Hey, you guys doing this morning? I'm doing great. Doing great. Yeah, we got some great stuff. January was an exciting month. Sean came out and did an investigation with us at the White House, which Jin had been to. Earlier in the month, we did an investigation. Like we talked about last month, we were letting some investigators, some guests come with us on the investigations. And had no idea that this would happen to one of our guests. But she was in the room. There's one particular room in this house. Where is the White House? It's down in McDonald's. It's one of the very first investigations we ever did. And man, we hit the mother load on this house. It is just absolutely action packed. There's always something going on in this house. But what happened this time was really, really odd. Young lady was sitting in the room by herself. She was very brave. She was in there for about 30 minutes. And that's that attic room, right? In the attic room, exactly. Where everything happens. Is that okay? She was in the room totally by herself.
Brave is all get out. I was actually downstairs with another couple. And my brother was there with me. He's back from Iraq right now. And out of the blue, I just heard, Andy, you got to get up here. You got to get up here. So I go to the top of the stairs. And the first words out of his mouth is, she's covered in blood. And I'm picturing Carrie, you know, the dress, the hair, everything just covered in blood. So I'm not really sure what to expect. When I walked into the room, both of this woman's hands were completely doused in blood. I mean, just dripping with blood going down her hands. It was all over my EMF detector, the recorders, all over the floor on things she didn't even touch. And I'm not going to say it was paranormal. She did have a small little paper cut, maybe not even a quarter of an inch long. I've had a paper cut and they don't even bleed. Like they bleed underneath the surface. And that's about it. And they hurt like the dickens. You know, when you've got a paper cut, she'd been in here profusely bleeding for 30 minutes and had no idea that she was bleeding. No idea. So it's just really, really, that started off the month. It was just really, really crazy.
Like I said, I'm not going to say it's paranormal, but the amount of blood that came from this paper cut was insane. I mean, it was just absolutely insane. So that started off. Then we did Savannah. I want to play just a couple. We did one investigation in Savannah, which was a great one. You'll tell me when I have to get out of Michelle on, right? Sure. She's one of the homeowners. Yeah, absolutely. Actually, another business. We've gotten a lot of businesses over the past. I mean, I'm sure it's good for their business as well. But we've gotten a lot of really good stories out of some businesses. And this one was an art studio down off of Hallamill Road. If you want to go and bring Michelle on, that's fine. I'll let her tell you exactly what's been happening there. Hey, good morning, Michelle. Good morning, how are you? Good. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. The good news is, Andy has completed his investigation. The bad news is, you on the radio with us means he found good stuff. So tell us about your business and most importantly, why you decided to bring Andy on board. We are a special event facility in Art Gallery. As Andy said, off of Hallamill Road, it's a very neat facility.
The original structure was built in the 1800s. And we found, if the History Center where it was used as a hospital for a short period of time during the Battle of Peachtree Creek. Okay. And God's Church was built on after that, and then an art studio. And personally, I have never really felt anything, but apparently I'm oblivious because everybody else that comes in and out of the facility sees things, hears things, et cetera. For me, it's just it always feels like when you're alone, that somebody is right with you. They are. That's what I'm waiting to see. So Michelle, you weren't there with Andy when he did his investigation? I was there with Andy when he did his investigation. And did you hear or see anything when you guys were together? I did not actually join him in the room. I was in the building. I just tried to stay out of his way. Okay. Well, Andy, let's put our mind to ease. Sure.
Let's do it. Absolutely. Well, this particular one, and we always, when we go into a location, we always get our recorders going right away, because you never know when you're going to get one. It doesn't have to be while you're actually investigating. Most of the time, we actually catch something while we're just setting the equipment up. So this is one we just had the recorder just sitting on the countertop there in the four-year area. And it is just a strange EVP, and it makes me wonder about what this one says. If maybe our recorders do send some sort of beacon to the spirits or whatever these things are, that they know that we have a recording device on of some sort. If you want to go ahead and play that first one, Sean. My ears are burning. Oh. First to say to me, my ears are ringing. Or my ears are burning. If you want to play one more time. My ears are burning. Yeah. My ears are burning. Or my ears are ringing. Something like that. And it makes me wonder if the recording device really does if they know that this thing is on. And if it sends some sort of signal to them, that we've got a recording device on. So that one is kind of creepy.
And this is not creepy. And this is not creepy. If you don't know at our telephone numbers, 4047-41Q-100, what always happens when we play these is people in their car hear them differently because the way our signal is processed. You can hear it better than we can. Yes. So if you hear something different, please feel free to call us out and say, you know what? I think it says this. And Andy, if this is the first time somebody's hearing about the Atlanta Ghost Hunters, can you explain what an EVP is? Sure. Basically, all these voices that we catch, or at least 99.9% of them, we don't hear these at the time. We're walking around with sensitive recording devices that pick up any noise at all. But that's what I don't understand. It's normally they pick up audible noises, things that you can hear. But sound is nothing more than vibrations and frequencies. And we go back and we listen to the hours, hour after hour after hour, of all the time that we're there during the investigation, specifically listening for things that did not occur while we were there. So EVP is known as electronic voice phenomenon
and it is really, to me, the most telling portion of paranormal activity because I have no logical explanation how these things are embedding themselves onto the recorder. So I can explain away most pictures, most video. There's a lot of, if there's a logical reason why, that's the reason why is because it's the logic. But there's no reason why if nobody said, my ears are ringing or burning, that I should be catching that that clearly on an audio device. So, ready for the next one? Absolutely. All right. This one was actually caught in the creepy closet, as Michelle called it. This one, there's a closet where they've got all their heating and air systems. Pitch black, can't see your hand in front of your face. It's the adult equivalent of the boiler room in these schools. Absolutely. You know, that's where Freddy Krueger hides and all that stuff. So, yeah, it's definitely a creepy closet and there's something going on in there. Just real quick. I don't understand what it means, but it's where's the handle? Oh, yeah. There's the handle.
And that was not one of us. There had been at least three or four minutes worth of really dead silence in this room when we caught this. And it just says, where's the handle? Yeah. It could be candle, too, right? Where's the candle? It could be. Maybe you said it's really dark in there. Very, very dark. And this was part of the original structure of the house that dates back into the sometime in the 1800s. The only known date that they have is they have a battle a war map of a pastry battle. And they have this house notated as the old stone home on the crooked road. And for those, I don't think we need to tell the name. It's called the Defore Center. It's right off of Defore Avenue, off of Hallamill Road. And right now it looks like a new construction, but the walls themselves are actually 27 inches thick, a pure stone wall. Wow. And when they were doing rehab, they actually found muskets, you know,
civil war bullets still lodged in the stone itself. So definitely a lot of activity going on here. Plus, there was a murder that took place right around there that the murderer was never found of the Defores. The people that the road was named after. And they've seen spirits of what everybody's called as Susan Defore. So. Wow. Interesting place. We've got one more. Are you still there, Michelle? I'm still here. What are you thinking so far? Are you sitting in a car now rather than at the Defore Center? Yeah, what time do you have to go into work today? Well, that's debatable. We'll see what it's like. What time is sunrise? All right, now this is the last one that we caught. And this one we actually left a recorder in the foyer area of the original structure. And we just left a recorder there. It had been about an hour. Nothing had gone on. And just out of the blue, we just caught a very weird EVP that it sounds like to me says I'll deal with it. But I think this is going to definitely be one
that the listeners over the radio will be able to hear a little bit better than we can. Again, very electronic. It's, I'll deal with it. How far into it isn't happening? This is about 40... Oh, I'm sorry, into this clip. Yeah. Right after maybe two seconds. Okay, go ahead again, Sean. Yeah, that one's very faint. It's a little electronic. It's pretty faint. And hopefully over the radio you guys will be able to hear a little bit better. But to me, it sounded like I'll deal with it. Hey, Sean, play that first clip again because we have a couple people calling. Am I ears or? Yeah. My ears. That's creepy though. It is. If he was saying he hears something, because you guys were there. Yeah. Again, the movie, the others, you know. They're like, is there ghost in this house? What's going on? Hey, what's the great movie? Hey, Kevin. Yeah, what's going on? Hey. How are you? I'm good. On the first clip where my ears are ringing.
Yeah. If it was a hospital from the Civil War, it could be a lot of soldiers had hearing damage from the can ends and stuff like that. Sure. Oh, you're right. Absolutely. Good point. How long was it a hospital for? Do you know, Andy? I don't know. I think it was Michelle. Do you know a couple of weeks, months? I'm sorry. I didn't hear the question. How long was it a hospital for? From what I understand just a brief period of time, a few days, perhaps a couple of weeks. So, which employee of yours is the most freaked out of all this? That would probably be Morgan. Yeah. She hears a lot of other things. She hears banging. She sees things. And what does she do for you guys? Event sales, both weddings and things of that nature. So, you might be in the market for a new event sales person then. Right. Yeah, we have brunch every Sunday too. We have a brunch buffet. And I'm wondering if it's going to be me and the ghosts. They don't know what minimum wages now.
You know what? Exactly. Some people will totally book your space, though, just because it is. Oh, I see. It sounds cool. So, it was a bad thing. Well, yeah, you can see if you have an extra person in your wedding pictures when you get them developed. That's right. It's so contact me, please. Hey, what's that, Michelle? Thank you so much for coming out with us. Good night. Thank you so much for having me. I'll have a great day. They're probably going to have fun work today. Thank you. This is a second month in a row. You've got a business, right? It is. Yeah. And we actually got an email yesterday, a killer email that we're definitely going to go check out from a, from a homeowner here. Okay. They actually caught some audio and video on their own. So, we're going to go in and see if we can try and reproduce it or possibly bust them saying that it's fake. I don't know. We're going to see what's happening. You know, we're skeptics. I mean, we're definitely skeptics. We're trying to prove activity. We have had people contact us and send us video of, this is what we caught in our house. I'm like, eh, whatever. But this actually looks pretty, pretty reasonable. Well, thanks, guys. No problem. Thank you. We'll talk again in a few weeks. Thanks, Atlanta. Uh, first show.
