Sequel to GUN would rock.

We're trying to be scientific about it. If we see something, we're going to investigate it, not make assumptions. You have to be skeptical. That said, I promise not to make it like Most Haunted, where we tell you stuff happened, but don't actually show anything and expect you to take our word for it. Edit: Video is up.

Yep. Anyways, just got back from taking a look at Monroe with my cousin, and I'll be updating the main post in a bit. Pictures and vids will be added in a few minutes. Edit: Pics are up, vid to come when it's done uploading.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. Don't answer me back. :D I just did. :rolleyes: It was joking around, calm down kid lmao. :P lol @ using kid as an insult, I was joking too.

Now that I can translate... who's Jan? Whoever he/she is, he/she's mean.

It all makes sense now...

Thank you so much for the advice! :thumbsup: I'm saving your post.

Voices, human sounds, stuff we didn't hear while recording. The absolute jackpot would be an actual response to one of our questions.

We were going to use my digital camera, but I don't think it's a good idea. It doesn't hold the charge, and it picks up too much background noise, so I'll probably have to buy another one along with a decent tape recorder like you mentioned. I'd also like to one with that Black&White infared thing like on most ghost hunting shows, as well as thermal. We were just using a flashlight in front of the camera, but this would probably look terrible, and we'd cast shadows that could be mistaken for evidence. I'd also like to use a tape recorder and ask some basic questions (in English for Monroe, Spanish for Church), and see if we get anything. Any recommendations for specific cameras/tape recorders to go for? Questions to ask on EVP? Questions for Church, for later on? Edit: Added the map of Church House as much as we know of it to the OP.

Another thing I think I should mention to the group is to WATCH THEIR DAMN STEP. When we were scouting out Church House yesterday, one friend, Tyler, stepped on a nail. Thing came right up through his shoe between his toes.

Thanks for the interest, Kimberly. :razz: I wasn't going to, but you're right, I'll buy us some tape recorders for it. EVP would be awesome! Guess I better learn some basic Spanish, too. I haven't talked to Church yet, but if I can find him I'd like to. But he'll have to wait, as we're doing Monroe first. The investigation will probably take place in the next few weeks. This thread may die for a while, and I'll bump it when we have something new to show. As for now, I'm taking the train to Amityville next week with my friend, who's also a main member of the group. Would be cool to get some video of the exterior of the infamous Amityville Horror before the real investigations start.

DAMN STRAIGHT, BUDDAY! YEEHAW!

Yep. Why?

Don't you think it'd be suspicious either way? I'm certainly not disagreeing with you though, you're absolutely right. @ Kaida, I'm aware that it's still illegal. While it's doubtful that anyone will actually blow the whistle, if we do get caught, we're going to explain what we were doing, show our cameras, etc... We may still get in trouble, but running would only make it worse. Edit: @ paul, Monroe has had weird sounds and lights coming from inside.

Probably the better tool, yes, but I think a group of teenagers entering a store and buying bolt cutters might raise some eyebrows.

It's unlisted. Anyways, it probably belongs to the town.

I want to say something right off the bat: This is not the thread to debate the existence of the paranormal. We've had threads for that in the past, and it seems some people will be interested in this thread, and some won't. Fine. If you're not interested, no need to post. MONROE HOUSE Anyways, I said in the today thread a while ago that a group of people and myself would be interested of doing a paranormal investigation of an abandoned house nearby. As enthusiastic as I was about it, we've decided that our first try will be at another one about a mile south of the first. This house has been designated "Monroe". There is a hole in the plywood over one of the front windows, through which I snapped this picture, and brightened it up. I was surprised to find that it's still fully furnished for some reason. It's worth noting that when I was taking pictures around the property, the battery indicator on my camera was going crazy. ~DETAILS REMOVED ON MOD REQUEST~ [spoiler=Monroe Pics] Front Exterior Back Exterior Interior, from same hole in window. Flash was MUCH better this time. (Almost looks like daylight) [spoiler=Monroe Videos]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpnDRHaW2jY CHURCH HOUSE This was the original house. Forced entry won't be necessary here, as the plywood over the wall has already been ripped off, and is currently resting in the cracked driveway. We've been in the front room, so we have some ideas as to what we're looking into. - A presumably homeless guy that walks around the area and asks people if they believe in God. He has a long, thick beard, is always in the same clothes, and wears a cross around his neck. I've only seen him myself once, and I kept my distance. We've nicknamed him "Church". I'd like to find Church and interview him, because of the religious stuff we've found there. - The power is off and much of the wiring has been taken, but a digital thing on the wall is still actively showing a display. Other stuff: Trophy (with a cross on top) has a date of 2001, despite record cases on the ground which would indicate that the house was abandoned much longer ago. Also, these records are all in Spanish. The map of Church House as we know it: Remember that for most (not all) of these pics, the flash was on (and very effective). It wasn't actually that bright, and we actually just kinda used the flash as our guide to what was in the rooms. In the upper bedroom, the open vent was letting some light in. This isn't all of it, we had to run before we could check the room at the end of the hall, and the basement. [spoiler=Church House Pics] Exterior Front Room Dining Room Kitchen Bathroom Lower Bedroom Upper Bedroom Although we had to leave far too early, we did make some significant discoveries. -A card in half-Spanish half-English writing, apparently from a son to a father. Owners had at least one kid. -Among the clutter was a 90's VCR. -Mattress in Upper Bedroom = Possible homeless? Church? -Bathroom door was open. The doorknob is gone, and we'd have needed a screwdriver to open it up. Last time we were there we couldn't open it. When we were there today, it was open. Even if the house is used by Church or others, what would they want in there? Plumbing is gone, so it's not the obvious answer. [spoiler=Church House Vids] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRSPySgYyIc [spoiler=Amityville Horror] To be honest... I'm not 100% sure this is it. In any case, we found 108 Ocean Ave, Amityville, NY. ***************** All I have to say right now, post anything related I guess.

Had my gas mask already, and I found a sweatshirt with a hood and my dad's old army jacket. First thought: I know what I'm doing for Halloween.

Although I haven't read any of the books, isn't it mentioned in one that MC came across a few Spartans after he escaped Installation 04?

Sort of related, I was in a sporting goods store in Montauk a few weeks ago and I overheard a funny conversation. Kid: Ms...? Ms...? Employee: Go ahead hon, I'm listening. Kid: Are those real guns behind the counter? Employee: No baby, those are airsoft. Kid: Oh. Well if they were real, would you sell them to me? Employee: *giggles* No, I wouldn't sell them to you.

Anyone else lagging like hell in Firefight? CPU lag, I mean? Edit: MY first multiplayer game. I think I did pretty well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSHzgJGn-hM
