Another entry on my list of places to NEVER go.

[edpc]

Very interesting....but I am still skeptical.

That's Victor NY.
It's across the road from Eastview mall.

Sent a link to relatives who know the proprietor of the museum called Valentown. It had lots of Civil War memorabilia.
Last time I was there was in the '70's.

The proprietor said it was haunted at that time. Dont know the full story; will have to ask the relatives who attended school across the street.

Valentown is a Historical Museum located in Victor, New York. It contains artifacts, articles and objects that represent the local history of the Victor and Rochester, New York area.

Valentown was originally built in 1879 as a shopping plaza and community center by Levi Valentine. Today it stands as a monument to his inspiration for building a town on top of his own family farm land.

Levi Valentine had built Valentown next to land where a railroad was supposed to arrive. Unfortunately, the company that was building the railroad ran out of funds and tracks before they could reach Valentown. Eventually Valentown was vacated and left untouched. In 1940 historian J. Sheldon Fisher turned Valentown into a Historical Museum.  

Eventually Mr. Fisher united Valentown with the Victor Historical Society.  Five years prior to his passing at age 95 the Victor Historical Society bought the property and collection to ensure future generations enjoyment and education.

Not sure what to make of this...

I can tell you what NOT to make of it--a big deal! A person walks across a room and is captured by IR camera. Because there's an object between the camera and the person, gullible people are convinced that you can see an object through a person. Hmmmm... along with the fake audio effects, it's quite disappointing.

Ghost Hunters Investigate Strange happenings at Valentown Museum 

Sci-Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters program featuring the World Class paranormal investigators TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) heard about the many unexplained happenings that have been experienced by staff and other volunteers at the Valentown Museum in Victor, NY

            Footsteps and voices coming from locked rooms, inside a glass display case magazine pages turning by themselves, suitcases moving underfoot, a shadowy figure passing right through a closed door begin to get a little creepy, don't you think?  The spontaneous tinkling of the old-fashioned bell hanging on the General Store entry door and the binging of its security sensor counterpart when the door never even opens is beginning to get quite annoying. Oh yeah, can't forget the white shadowy presence in a neighboring house or the man dressed in period clothing which appears in both the front and rear windows depending on whether one is coming or going, oil lanterns swaying, lights turning themselves on and off as they please. Such goings on!!

            A Rolling Hills Ghost Hunting Society member actually caught one of the culprits on camera, showed it to TAPS and the Ghost Hunt began!!  First TAPS set up their sensors for a weeklong scientific investigation in November. Special cameras, microphones, and temperature sensors were placed all over Valentown Museum. Film crew and paranormal investigators swarmed over the building for hours at a time. Calling out to the spirits to show themselves,  And did they? You'll have to wait until Sci-Fi Channel's next season of Ghost Hunters begins for the answer.  We are told to expect only a 1 week notice of airing but possibly we may be on the late March or early April schedule. Watch this website and the newspapers for more information as it becomes available. www.valentown.org.

Rolling Hills Ghost Hunters also set up their monitoring equipment the same day as TAPS wrapped up their investigation. There was definitely excitement that night! Scraping sounds muted music, voices, knocking and orbs galore made them believers in the Hauntings of Valentown Hall!

They have already requested another overnight ghost hunting session and two Boy Scout Troops held separate Ghost Watch Tours with great results!!  You can become a Valentown Ghost Watcher, too. Bring your own camera and we'll show you where the apparitions hang out!! Listen to the whispers for clues..if you dare!!.

Watch for date of TAPS results
on the Sci-Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters series and more.
Valentown's Ghost Watch Tour dates will also be announced soon.
The sprits have been very friendly-so far!
Fascinating Valentown Museum opens for the regular season in May but
 Ghost Watch Tours will start as soon as the chill is off
the unheated Valentown Hall.

Join us for a look at the past-Day or Night

Looks like that ghost has a limp. Wonder what the history of the inhabitants of that place is?

On another note, I couldn't imagine being completely oblivious to a ghost walking right past me!

[DB]

If there were other people in the room moving around it could easly be a reflection. The relection could be in the lens or off the buildings walls.

So the first question I'd ask is, was she alone in the room when this was recorded?

[gcruse]

Well, alrighty.

[Godzilla]

bump for later

[WKUHilltopper]

LOL! Ghosts! Right!


There's a tombstone here in Kentucky if you go up to it and ask "what are you doing"? It'll say nothing.

[discostu]

Guess it's too much trouble for them to show you a normal color version so you can see what the room looks like, maybe reflective surfaces. Probably just a digital insert.

[randog]

Inneresting. Thanks for the ping, Curly--always interesting.

[Highway55]

If there's something weird in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
CALL ME!
If there's something strange and it don't look good
Who you gonna call?
CALL!

If you're seeing things running through your head
Who can you call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!

An invisible man sleeping in your bed
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!

(Oh yeah)
I ain't afraid of no ghost,

[sneakers]

Thanks for the ping CB. I'll watch it in the morning. Dang! You always post these late at night when I'm sitting here, alone, in a dark room! LOL! Mr. sneakers and I have been invited to join a "ghost-hunting" group. In fact, they got some of their software from TAPS. I'm going to make a terrible, scaredy-cat ghost hunter if I can't even watch a VIDEO of an alleged ghost! :-)

[VeniVidiVici]

Being an expert in neither the paranormal or infrared, I find it interesting that the IR signatures of the two individuals are completely different.

[Frank_Discussion]

Ping of *possible* interest.

[Swordmaker]

The floor mounted cross they claim is in the background BEHIND the "ghost" and can be seen through the "ghost" as it walks toward the camera's right is actually in the forground and the ghost walks behind it... no transparency required. This is an artifacting of infrared... the temperature signatures of the cross and the "ghost" are very close, not quite the same, but close.
