Haunting Research
Home of the Northern Minnesota paranormal investigators
Video is one of my favorite things where paranormal evidence it concerned. As long as it is filmed on tape so that we have some back-up evidence wise, it is one of the most stabile and recognized forms of paranormal evidence. On this page you will see some astounding footage. I hope that you enjoy watching it as much as I am enjoying bringing it to you.

Omnimax Theater, Duluth MN
On February 24th, 2007 N.M.P.I. conducted an investigation of the Omnimax theater in Duluth MN. We spent several hours there but were unable to conduct a complete investigation. I guess we will have to return soon and try again. We got hit hard with a snow storm and were forced to pack up and leave. We did however have one very interesting experience while we were there. Jayson Michaels from KTCO Radio was along for the ride on the investigation. While up in the mechanical room he got scratched. First on the left arm, then the right and finally on the lower back. Each area's scratches were in pairs. The set on the right arm actually had a scratch that began to bleed and the two sets on the low back welted quite quickly. As soon as we got him outside of the dark mechanical room and into the light, I filmed this documentation of the scratches. Unfortunately we were unable to actually capture the scratches being made.

Annie Wilder's House
Annie Wilder is the
author of the book shown here called "House of Secrets and Whispers" which I
have now read and enjoyed very much. This book is all about her home that she
bought in a beautiful neighborhood that came complete with ghosts. It was a
thrill for everyone on the N.M.P.I. team to go into this house and conduct an
investigation. Annie was wonderful to the team and we look forward to a return
trip in the Spring of 2007. Please not also that no team members had read this
book prior to the investigation, we all waited until after the investigation as
we didn't want to cloud our judgment of the situation and we didn't want to go
in with any preconceived notions of what we would find.
We actually captured two good videos in the home but one of them I cannot get to
upload to the internet with the clarity needed to actually see the anomaly that
appeared on the tape. This video that you do see here is of a light anomaly that
appeared in the hallway outside the green room where the camera was actually
located. The team had been upstairs moving the camera to its location several
minutes before. They had gone downstairs prior to this anomaly appearing. It
appears in only one frame of the video and does not trail in or out of the
location where it appears. It is moving so fast that I am including a still
photograph from the video with the location marked so that it will be easily
found.
S.S. William A. Irvin, Duluth MN
The U.S.S. William
A. Irvin was a very long time running ore ship on the great lakes and the
flagship of U.S. Steel during its long career. There have been only a couple of
noted deaths on board the Irvin but I have a strong suspicion that there have
been more associated with this ship. In fact, during October of 2006 as a result
of our investigation and subsequent radio show, a lady came to the ship and
discussed her Uncle's death on board that even the staff at the Irvin were
unaware of.
The two videos that are shown here were both captured in a forward cargo hold.
You will see in the first one, an anomaly that takes off very quickly from the
bottom center of the screen and moves up and left at about a 45 degree angle.
The second of the two videos was captured while Kyle was moving the camera. The
object that was captured looks like the one in the first video and will enter at
the top of the screen on the right and move across very quickly. Where this
object was found is in a location where there is nothing to have been captured
(part of the ship). It is a large empty dark cargo hold with no physical objects
able to be seen on the camera.
Depot, Duluth MN
This first video is one of the very best orb videos that I have ever witnessed. You will notice it on the left-hand side of the screen moving in an upward motion toward the black steel train engine on the left. It is so bright that it actually casts its own reflection in the steel of the engine. Then it simply hesitates for a second and pops through the steel plate. It was too far away for the I/R emitters on the camera to have caused this to be a reflection.
The second one is of a manifestation. Yes, you heard me right...a manifestation from orb to apparition in less than a second. If you watch the center of the screen in the background you will see a very bright orb appear and then immediately afterward you will see the apparition move across between the two roof supports. You can't miss the movement and you will watch this one over and over again also.
The third one is of an apparition
that moves in front of the windows on the President's car (of the railroad that
is). Keep in mind that the bottom of the glass here is 7 feet off of the walkway
below. It moves from right to left, then back to the middle. Then pauses in the
left pane of glass for a few seconds with a white glow appearing in front of it.
Then it shoots off to the left and is gone.
The Chase on the Lake, Walker MN
The Chase on
the Lake. This was probably the strangest investigation that I have ever been
on. We had activity all night long with people hearing things, seeing things and
feeling things constantly. It was a wild ride. The first video is that of a very
quick flash that occurs on the left side of the curtain in the background. It
appears to be an orb moving at a great speed.
The second video was captured on the 2nd floor of the hotel also. This was a great orb that flew past the camera and on into the other room. It made several directional changes as well as a change in speed. It is a great paranormal orb.
The third video is one that Kyle captured on his security cam. This was captured in the basement. Kyle and Sheila were just heading up the stairs and nobody else was in the basement. This anomaly, that I think may be a ghost manifesting from an orb, passed just after the camera flash, which was on the first floor and was shining through some large openings in the floor. Keep in mind that there was a fire here 12 years ago in this end of the building. There was extensive damage to the structure on this end that you are seeing in this video.
Secret Location, Hibbing MN
I know that this is another orb. Orbs on video just seem much more cool on video than on stills. This one is at a secret location in our area (they don't want publicity). The security cam was recording in the basement with nobody down there and it captured this orb. It starts out as a find point of light moving downward along the large banister post, then turns and goes straight up, does a little curly cue and then moves off to the left. All the dust in the room moved along the air currents from side to side with no change in direction. Enjoy!
Chris and Beth Harvey's House, Moon Lake MN
This video really has a lot going on in it. The first thing to watch is the picture hanging on the wall on the right side of the frame. You will see a flash of light that moves very quickly over it. There was no living person in this room when this was captured. Also, there was no traffic that could have caused this with headlights either. Then, the camera cuts out. We are actually missing three frames of video and then immediately after this cut out, you see an orb moving away from the camera on the bottom right.
Amy's House, Virginia MN
These video clips are taken from an investigation done of Amy's house on 9/17/05. The first one is an orb that moves up the curtains in the far room, toward the ceiling. It then moves forward toward the camera and down in front of it. The interesting thing about this is that all dust moved from left to right very slowly and casually. This orb was moving across the air flow direction and much faster than any dust that we captured.
This is the second clip from Amy's house. It shows an orb come into the picture from the upper left and dart downward toward the floor. It then turns up and when it starts to move to the right, it is joined by another orb. They both fly to the right and then one goes upward and the other heads toward the floor. This is a very interesting video and keep in mind, there was a thorough search of the rooms for insects and there were none found.
Apartment Apparition, Mountain Iron MN
This capture occurred on December 13th, 2003. It happened in the apartment of on of N.M.P.I.'s investigators, Christy. She had reported seeing a ghost of a little girl on many occasions and we went to check it out. We had the Sony Handicam on nightshots and attached to the tripod. We had it aimed into her baby's room where she had reported seeing the most activity. While myself and another investigator were looking at the screen we saw this "hand" move from the bottom left of the screen and move right up through the screen. This was the video that cemented my knowledge that ghosts do in fact exist. The movement that you see on the floor of the room just after the "hand" passes is Rhonda shifting positions to stretch out her back. She had been sitting up against the closet door for a very long time. Enjoy this video, I think it is awesome!
High School Auditorium Shadow, Hibbing MN
This video is of a globular black shadow ghost that we captured in the fall of 2004. We were at the famous Hibbing High School Auditorium up in dressing room #10 where there have been a lot of reports of activity over the years. While investigator Phil was using the pendulum to try and make contact, a dark shadow moved across his arm and away. It only lasts a few seconds so watch closely. We were never able to find a mundane answer as to why this would have happened.
Bertha's Grave, Coleraine MN
This video was shot using the same Sony Handycam at Lakeside cemetery in Coleraine, MN. This is the place of urban legend. There have been kids going out to see this stone move around the cemetery and even to see if it is there on Halloween. We have proven the legends to be wrong but we did capture the spirit of Bertha herself (we believe) on this video. Take a look but it moves very fast.
Lakeview Cemetery, Buhl MN
Here is a video that was shot on June 7, 2003. This was in the Lakeview Cemetery in Buhl, MN. We were astounded at only one flag in the cemetery moving at this time and no wind that we could detect at all. We panned around to other flags which had no movement what so ever. Be prepared, it is a long video.
