We have finished all of our review of the Battleship North Carolina!  We ran a lot of equipment and reviewed a lot of material! Here is how the evidence broke down.....

There were some personal experiences had by some of our members. One included a mist that seemed to come from the wall very quickly at one of our members.  Everyone heard what sounded like footsteps and weird sounds.  By weird sounds I mean old air sirens, talking, etc.  This was primarily in the cafeteria area.  The air raid siren was specifically interesting. At one point we heard this siren coming from the center of the ship.  Upon review, however, we were able to determine it was a federal siren from a fire truck.  We were able to determine this because all of our recorders are time synced with our cameras, and each other.  When we reviewed the outside recorders at the same time it was obvious that this is what it was.  Chris and I are both fire fighters and know this sound well, and initially it even tricked us.  This is why proper evidence review is crucial.   In the cafeteria there were ports that went to the outside of the ship.  This is where the sound seemed to enter the room at.  We basically had to dismiss all audio evidence on this floor because of this because it could have been the same source for all of it, and probably was. In the jail area, two of our investigators heard a disembodied voice say "go", but we did not capture it on audio so it was dismissed.

We did get weird K2 hits on the main deck, forward section.  They started about 2 feet off the ground and extended to about 6 feet in the air.  It was not registering on the EMF detectors. Due to the angle of the ship and the angle of the gift shop we calculated that the readings were coming from this area, or a similar area, and continued the investigation.  We did try and get the K2 hits to react to our communications, but were unable to do so.  It was dismissed as a normal occurrence.  Check it out if you investigate the ship.   

There was no video evidence.

There was no evidence captured via photography.

What we did get was one of the best EVP's we have captured. Where we set up our equipment there was a glass display cabinet, about 6 feet or more tall, that housed items such as an officer’s tea set.  We had extra equipment so we decided to put a camera and a recorder at the command area just to see what happened.  You don't want to take the time and effort to come here and not try and use everything at your disposal!  We set the DVR camera up and placed a digital recorder in front of the camera.  We do this so that no one can talk in to the recorder without us seeing them, and to help validate real EVP's.  The recorder is time synced with the camera so that we can review the DVR the second the EVP was captured.  The camera was also set up in a way that no one could get to it from behind the cabinet unless they climbed on top of a glass cabinet!  No one could enter the room and get to the recorder without us knowing, we tried!  In other words, we can prove without a shadow of a doubt that there was no one even close to the recorder when this EVP was captured (or even on the same deck) for 20 min before and about an hour afterwards.  What you hear is a voice appearing to say “Alvin”, a click, then a bang…..that’s it!  Here it is for your listening pleasure…..

The ship was not easy to cover but it made for a great investigation.  What I mean by this is that there was very little sound. It was still, quiet, dark, and calm.  If you were not in a noisy area of the ship then you could really hear the slightest sounds.  We highly recommend that your group investigate this museum.  It was amazing as was the staff.  They not only made us feel at home, but even help us carry our equipment on to the ship.  If you need information on how to book this investigation, or tips on investigating it, feel free to contact us.  Thanks for visiting our page…

Thanks!
