Claims of Activity
We traveled quite a distance to investigate an historic opera house and theater with some very unusual claims. Originally built in 1871, and added on in 1941, Rohs (pronounced Ross) has running water traveling under the stage. Running water is thought to be a conductor of paranormal activity. The current owners are in the process of restoring this spectacular building back to its original glory. Renovations are another trigger that brings on paranormal activity.
In the theater area, the claims of activity are lights bounce around, there have been successful intelligent conversations using a K-II tool, and whistling. It is said that women are targets for the spirits here. Women feel tugging on their pants/dresses.
In the second floor hallway, they have reported hearing footsteps and whistling. There are doors on both sides of the hallway and both doors are reported to open by themselves. Again women get tugged on. Many cold spots have been reported here as well.
In the balcony, there are metal coat hangers on a bar. It is said that they move as well as hostile feelings. A lady in white is said to be seen in the projection room. In the opera room, reports of chairs moving and sounds of what sounds like metal dragging on the hard wood floors.
The Investigation
For the most part the night went uneventful. We even had our two female investigators working together hoping to double our chances of getting some personal experiences in the theater and second floor hallway. We had several pieces of equipment that kept having the batteries drain prematurely. Some personal experiences included hearing a breath and other noises in the theater area. Another investigator heard whistling in the second floor hallway.
Equipment Used
We used our DVR surveillance system as well as many video cameras, both stationary and mobile with groups. We had digital audio recorders throughout the building and carried a few with our groups in the hopes of catching any disembodied voices or other noises that were reported. We also used laser lights to help us catch shadows, EMF detectors, and KIIs.
Conclusion
Even though we didn’t have many personal experiences, with everything that we captured on audio and video, we will have no problem saying Rohs Opera House definitely has paranormal activity.
