Haldeman Mansion Investigation Bainbridge PA
A night of thrilling experiences — from our notes: “Gauss meter response, quiet at around 0.1 Gs for most of the night in the Main House, agitated and skyrocketed up to 13 Gs during our singing of Civil War era songs in the Summer House. Meter sat stationary. We took notice: “It was as if ghosts were dancing or whirling about unseen right in front of us.”
Hosted by M.A.P.I., Sep 2019.
Several teams attended in 3 groups: inside the Main House, inside the Summer House, outside on the grounds.
Approximately 10:30pm: Interesting, the colorful stationary “orbs” hovering near Liz and Cliff, southeast of Main House, despite no flash with only ambient lighting during long exposure. Numerous reports include communications with young aethereal prankster “Jacob” and sightings of shadow apparitions and the “little girl upstairs”.

Liz’ copper divining rods were active as usual and responding promptly and clearly to questions posed; copper rods in a sanitized, human-removed apparatus did not respond to any prompting. LASER shadowing, animal boobytraps, and other meters and apparatii went silent/unaffected.
We welcome other investigators to login and add their findings, comments, links.
Thank you, M.A.P.I.; we had a superb time.
Extensive interior renovation was underway around the time of our visit and the investigations. Jiving with many others’ findings, could this physical upset have been contributing to the presumed heightened spiritual energies?
