Case: THE-WAS-2012-05-08 – Still a working theater, I had the distinct honor of investigating the Washington Theatre with the New Jersey Paranormal Group. It was the first time the location was investigated formally. We arrived at 9:30 and conducted a walk-thru with the owner. Opened in 1929, the theater has a tremendous history with no known tales of tragedy.
Base Camp
Before the investigation began, the team was organizing our equipment at base camp (our team headquarters for the evening). While discussing our plans for the evening, the following EVPS were captured.
The first one is someone stating something, however we can’t make it out. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

The second EVP is of a man telling us either “no” or “go” in response to me asking the team if they were ready to begin. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

Theater One
Pandora’s Box and Digital Recorder on Stadium Seating Railing in Theater One
As we entered Theater One, we placed Pandora’s Box (courtesy of ScareTronix) on the railing separating the stadium seating from the main floor. The digital recorder which was placed next to it, caught this EVP of a man asking us if we wanted help finding our seats. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

We began our investigation in Theater One with Jennifer, our group’s medium and Case Manager, walking around to give impressions. Jennifer was talking about auras when one of our digital recorder captured this man’s voice. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

While conducting an EVP session in the middle of the theater, I heard a man’s voice and reacted to it. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

Although very little visual evidence was captured during this investigation, we found this interesting photograph of Jennifer with this orb. I don’t claim that it is paranormal, just unexplainable.
An Unexplainable Orb in Theater One
Theater Two
After our initial investigation of Theater One, we moved into Theater Two. With little personal experiences, we began to discuss heading to the upstairs area when two digital recorders captured this EVP. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

Upstairs Area
The upstairs area is currently used as a storage area and offices, but once upon a time, it was the site of a living space. Jennifer, Jay and I were investigating the area when this EVP was captured. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

Soon after this EVP was captured, my walkie-talkie produced unexplainable white noise. We later found out that the noise was followed by an unexplainable humming. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

Backstage
Several hours into the investigation, a few of us went behind the movie screens to the original stage area where we heard the disembodied voice of a woman singing. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

Back to Theater One
Before we started wrapping up our investigation, we conducted one last EVP session in Theater One. We recorded these two EVPs. Neither one of these EVP is clear as to what they are saying. (Note: the audio has been enhanced. It is best to listen with headphones on.)

Although, this EVP sounds like there are two people having a conversation of some sort.
