Valentown Museum
June 9, 2007

Equipment used; digital camera, camcorder and digital voice recorder.

Investigators on site; Jennifer and Tim

Time; 9:00pm until 2:30am

Summary;
            This was our first investigation conducted…this was even before we compiled a name for our group. With limited equipment we proceeded to investigate the museum with a narrow overview of the building’s history and also a narrow account of the activity at the time. We learned more in depth about the history after the investigation.
We captured a couple of pictures that intrigued us at first…until we analyzed them further and concluded that they were false positives. Streaks of light in both red and orange were present in a few pictures. We concluded that these lights were due to the motion blur of reflected car lights in the windows.
We did have some personal experiences that occurred including footsteps heard on the stairway leading up to the electric room. When immediately checked, there was no one in the stairwell.
A phantom smell that was only acknowledged by Tim….and Jennifer could not detect. The museum’s curator Carol also confirmed smelling the phantom smell. There were 2 other individuals present who were not involved in our investigation; however they were in the room with us when the phantom smell occurred and could not detect it either. Overall, 3 could not smell it and 2 could.
While sitting in the basement, Tim felt something touch his leg while he was sitting in a chair.
Although these are documented by TWPG, they are not considered authentic evidence due to the fact that they can not be proven or backed up with firm verification.
