Ghosts & Haunts In Missouri

Six Flags Over Mid-America 
Paranormal Field Investigation,

August/September 2009

Our group was granted permission to

visit Six Flags in Eureka after closing

hours over three consecutive Saturdays,

beginning with the last weekend in

August 2009.
I am writing this in 2013/2014. After I

attended this series of investigations,

all of the footage was lost along with

my footage from the Mystic Manor and

St. Vincent investigations because my

computer containing these files crashed.

I have relocated my original master tapes

and with other sources have completed

these investigations.
Locations investigated inside Six Flags:
The Empire Theater
Wardrobe Building
The Transfer House
The Haunted House
Palace Theatre 
The fields to the east of the amusement

park.
This was perhaps the largest scale

ghost hunt I have ever been involved

with.

We had many more investigators

participating, and thus were able to

cover more locations, all with a

reputation for being haunted.

Clip 1 was recorded by Greg in the

Palace Theatre lobby. The first voice is

a female investigator saying

"Okay, here is what you can do",

followed by a female EVP voice saying

"Stop it, Stop It, Stop It!" before

Greg speaks at the end of the clip. No

one heard this voice at the time it was

recorded.

Clip 2 I captured this one at the

Mine Train Transfer House. The voice

recorder was left running unattended in

voice activation mode. It captured a

single female EVP voice, which can be

heard saying "She's In Here".

Clip 3 was recorded by Ken, also in the

Transfer House during an EVP session.

Clip 4 This Male EVP Voice was

captured by Greg in the Haunted House,

which was once the transfer house to

the old mine train. 

Clip 5 Greg captured this female EVP

voice saying "Betty" in the Bugs Bunny

National outdoor area. There was no

one present named Betty. This might

be a residual EVP.

Clip 6 This Female EVP voice can be

heard speaking while Greg is talking. It

was recorded at the Empire Theatre.

Clip 7 This is the weirdest of the EVP's,

recorded at The Empire Theatre. The

faint voices in the background are the

investigators speaking. The EVP voice

(the loud male voice) is speaking

unintelligible gibberish.

The following are video clips. All were

recorded in the fields east of the park;

it's where at Halloween time haunted

hayrides sometimes take place.

Clip 8 This was something very odd

taking place during the investigation.

We were experiencing periodic Fog out

in the fields which in the dry heat of

August I have no explanation for.

Clip 9 While at two separate locations

in the fields the Stench Of Death, as

if a large carcass was rotting, could be

smelled. There were no dead animals

at either location that could account for

this.

Clip 10 is my favorite from this

investigation. I set up my camcorder

on a hill in the fields where the

spooklight has been seen. This hill, a

large mound of loose gravel, concrete

and rebar can't be approached without

making a lot of noise, because every

step triggers rocks and gravel to slide

down the hill. The camcorder was left

unattended on a tripod for two hours.

During that time something triggered

the halogen light on the camcorder to 

Turn On By Itself while recording. The

button for this light is located on the

top of the camcorder and is partly

recessed. No IR remote function can

activate this light. Something was

experimenting with my camera! No

sounds of anyone approaching the

camera were heard.
In the Long Version you will notice

the light slowly begins to decay. By the

end of the clip the halogen light is off.

This is not how this light works, when

turned on it runs continuously for 5

minutes then shuts off all at once. Its

also not a battery issue as the cameras

17 hour battery, powered the camera

for another 80 minutes with plenty of

power to spare when I retrieved the

camera. Its also no malfunction, this

camcorder is still in use on

investigations 5 years later without

incident. I do have a theory, whatever

entity thats wandering out in these

fields did not press the button at all on

the camera, but instead provided the

power to activate the light, but wasn't

able to maintain it, causing it to slowly

dim. It would also explain why the

camera didn't shake when the light first

came on, just pressing it would cause

camera shake, which didn't happen. 
I have had other equipment

"played with" like this in the past.
During the investigation, several

unexplained photos were taken in the

fields.

All of these were taken by

Tom Halstead.
in Photo 11 this odd white shape

appeared. 

It's worth noting that people are

reporting seeing Spooklights out in the

fields.
These are different from orb photos

which can be caused by dust, moisture,

or pollen in photographs. Visitors are

seeing these strange lights with their

eyes.

Photo 12 shows one of these lights in

the distance.

Photo 13 is a zoom of the previous

photo.
Photo 14 and Photo 15 are still

photos of the fog out in the fields.

Photo 16 This is a more marginal

photo - it might be something real, but

it could also be a dust orb.

I would like to thank everyone involved

in the investigation from PTF, and

especially our overnight

Six Flags security guide, Jonathan, who

provided our group more free reign,

which helped enormously.
