The Paranormal Investigators Coalition will be testing some new equipment in my home town of Baltimore very soon. We will be spending approximately 5 hours there to attempt several new experimental techniques and training procedures. This is a private training exercise. Any evidence we detect will be posted to this site as soon as it is reviewed.

Keep watching for updates!

Secret room found!

room_03a

On the afternoon of November 1st, 2010 I was trying to tear out the floor in the tool shed adjoining the side of The Haunted Cottage. It has always been a dream of  fellow investigator Chuck Saunders and I to convert this room into a research lab. Today I discovered a concrete vault under the shed! It is eight feet deep and has three feet of water at the bottom. Is this an old cistern? A bomb shelter? Bootleggers bunker? On Tuesday November 2nd, I will find out when I pump the water and descend in to the vault!
