Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs, AR- My Ghost Investigating Series.

 It’s called the most haunted hotel in America and it’s all because of one man.  “Dr” Norman Baker.  He bought the derelict old lady during the height of the Great Depression and turned it into The Baker Cancer Hospital.  He claimed to have the cure for cancer.  He didn’t.  People died there.  In droves.  That’s why there are so many ghosts.

Literally this hotel is crawling with them... while it is very pleasing to the eye; It's not so pleasing for the mind. I stayed here last year to do my own investigation. I got a lot on this 'mission' of sorts...Some photos that are key for me and that I treasure as well as a paranormal hunter.

The photo that set the pace for my adventure I took as I was walking up to the false hope cancer hotel.

As soon as I switched my camera to the view mode I was taken back. Look at all those orbs!! You've got to be kidding me?! I knew at that moment I should probably head back to the car because I am sure as hell not getting a peaceful sleep tonight. ha!

-but then my long car trip would have been for nothing... so nervously I got my bags and headed in...after taking like 12 more orb filled photos outside.

A photo I took inside the lobby. You can find quite a few orbs in this photo as well, but I didn't see anything in the photo that I was hoping to catch... like a shadow figure, or a face outline.

(Mind you the orbs were not from dust. The hotel was very spotless, including my room.) 

As you can see the hotel is so beautiful inside.

I took tons of photos which contained shit tons of orbs; but at this point the orbs became 'normal' and I actually was just taking photos because I loved the decor so much. haha

This couch I'm sitting on above... I wanted it. So incredibly badly... How gothic and bad ass is this? seriously! Oh! and yes that is me... I've changed quite a bit in a year, huh? ;)

After roaming around the lobby, checking in and putting my bags away I started my hunt. The lights stay on in the hotel thankfully... because otherwise I think I would have been freaked out beyond words. At least I could see what was in front of me.

The hallways were all the same. Just tons of orbs and running into others doing the exact same thing I was doing. Hunting for the bigfoot of paranormal research. 

Until I chose to find a place other weren't going to or bothering with. I went downstairs, to the basement and what used to be the morgue. It was very intense with activity and sadly since I have yet to have invested in a evp recorder, video camera or ghostbox I have no proof of what I heard or saw... other than photos.

downstairs there is also a phone booth... unsure why... but to the right of me next to my head in the other glass panel you will see in the glass a weird black shadow. The inside of the telephone booth did not have any black smudges nor did the glass.

This photo gave me the chills when I saw it! 

It was in the booth with me whatever it was. haha!

That night of course I experienced a lot of activity while in my room but sadly have no proof of it since I didnt own documenting devices...

My conclusion? This hotel is breath taking and very gothically inclined. I highly recommend staying here to experience something for yourself.

Eureka Springs Cemetery- My Ghost Investigating Series.

Eureka Springs, AR... Known for its long history of ghosts and the world famous haunted location 'The Crescent Hotel' has a cemetery like no other... I had gone to Eureka Springs last year in September (Photo above) for a ghost investigation and to celebrate my birthday. Any time I go out of town I make sure to visit the cemetery of what ever town I am in...Normally in the day time because I am simply visiting the grave to see the sights and enjoy the beauty.

I wasn't expecting to ghost hunt or to have any activity for that matter.

This, without a doubt, is one of my favorite cemeteries and is simply breath taking. 

However, even though it was still early in the morning (around 10 am) I could still hear things in the wind and feel strong vibes... Actually I found this place by chance and was planning on going to a different cemetery. As I was driving down the dirt road I saw the gates to the cemetery and had a very strong pull to stop and take a look.

I got a ton of awesome photos with orbs, mist and.... 'auras'?

I was shocked by this considering it wasn't the witching hour and that it takes much more energy to make yourself known in the daytime for a spirit. 

It was still 10 a.m after all.

The photo above has an impressive orb. This is the largest orb I've ever caught on camera...

the gravestone has the date 1835 I believe...

this is the 'aura' I was talking about. Notice the purple/blueish shading around the gravestone. I have not edited this of course and my camera works properly so it was not my cameras doing. I've taken lots of photos and have never had this happen before or after this shot. I call it an Aura because the colors around this photo was the exact emotion I was feeling from this head stone or grave rather... The stone was so covered in moss that I couldn't find out more about this person or when they died. 

This is my favorite image I've ever captured of paranormal. 

have you ever captured something like this? 

Or do you know the proper name of when this happens to a photo? 

Click on this photo above to see two orbs floating away from the top of the two headstones towards each other. 

What an unexpected surprise that I got so much activity in the morning from such a lovely grave site.

My conclusion from this gravesite is that it is, of course, very beautiful; but also very active!

I would love to come back to this cemetery during the witching hours sometime this year and see what I can capture! 

Stay Spooky!
