St. Ann's Church Part 2

St. Ann's Church Arts and Cultural Center Investigation Part 2


On November 13th of 2009, John Hardy and Fran Ford of Price Paranormal and Echoes Paranormal had the honor and pleasure of being invited to join Charles Reis and Stephen Moreau (ninjacthulhu here on You Tube) of Creepy Places of New England and the Paranormal Investigation Team of URIGHT(University of RI Ghost Hunting Team, headed by Adam Braga and Charles Reis) on an investigation of St Ann's Church in Woonsocket, RI, now known as The St Ann Arts and Cultural Center (SAA&CC).

St Ann's Church is a fascinating location with an amazing history and we felt very fortunate to have been invited to join in on the investigation of this remarkable place.

The size of this architectural gem is overshadowed only by it's interior and exterior beauty which are plain to see from the moment you pull up outside and step inside it's doors.

St Ann's is noted as being the home of the largest collection of fresco paintings in North America. Also noted by art critics as rivaling if not surpassing those found in The Sistine Chapel. Any description I try to give here would not do this gorgeous cathedral justice. It simply has to be seen to be fully appreciated and believed.

We were asked to investigate SAA&CC due to some activity possibly paranormal in nature that it's owners, volunteers and board members have experienced since day one of their residence there. There's been so much activity noted that they all felt it could no longer be ignored or brushed aside.

The shear size of the building warranted a large group of investigators to cover it as thoroughly as possible.

SAA&CC did not fail to deliver and nearly every single one of the investigators present on this night had personal experiences which were then backed up with the evidence we all collected and reviewed. Hundreds of EVPs were recorded by Price Paranormal alone!

SAA&CC offers many ways for you to experience this architectural masterpiece and it's vibrant and jaw dropping works of art. A camera is a must when you visit, but might we suggest that you bring a recorder with you as well. Who knows, you may just end up having your own paranormal experience while there.

To find out more about SAA&CC, tours and schedule of events, please visit their website: http://stannartsctr.org/default.aspx

And if you feel inspired and inclined to help preserve this historical location please make a donation. The upkeep of SAA&CC is astronomical and any donation at all will be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE!!
We were fortunate to be invited back to investigate SAA&CC and did just that on the night of Sat. May 8th, 2010. Along with Steve Moreau who served as Case Manager, those included in this investigation were Charles Reis, Adam Braga and members of URIGHT, John Hardy and Fran Ford of Price Paranormal/ECHOES Paranormal, the owner of SAA&CC, it's Director and various esteemed board members. We wish to take the time to thank Dominique, Walter and all the wonderful volunteers for not only allowing us the opportunity to literally crawl deep into the nooks and crannies of this truly amazing location, but for joining us as we did so. We hope you had as much fun as we did.

Other commentators have covered much of what I would want to say and ask, but the EVP is excellent, and your interpretation is spot on!

Enjoyed this immensely - now Part 3! :)

hi guys! very clear EVP's and the one with frans name in it was super clear. wouldn't ya know that it would be somethang off-color! sheesh! the room temp change is quite significant. besides the reading, could you actually feel the change? should we be watching for part 3? great vid! 5 stars!

[PRICEparanormal]

Hi Jo, John here,

No feelings of the Temp change, it was a very large room and we tried debunking the "Temp" change thinking something mechanical was being detected. Any thing with substantial heat , ( IR light, video recorder or persons) would have been too far away for it to be a steady reading as it was. It was strange because the heat was never on at all that day. Yes there is a part 3. We thank you so much, We are all in a learning process, this is a great venue. Hugs

Be Well

John

Interesting about the radiator. At the Franklin house, before you came, the furnace was making noise and 'running' but NO electrical power was hooked up to it. More to think about - the way spirits give and receive 'energy.'

[PRICEparanormal]

Some heating systems can work on power outages, It depends on what kind of system it is.

This is an old steam system and while it was off, the automatic water filling kicked on while we were in the boiler room on the tour and scared every one there ;) It was funny.

What was he scratching in the dark? LOL That strange sound on top of the mic sounded like it's saying "shhh" Excellent EVP capture!

[zandj710]

that one voice at 4:09 seems to sound like "help me," I agree and 5:43 sounds like a snif in the mic,like the few i had heard leading up to it, that radiater being heard was cool, Im not a heater person but it could be bleeding itself, who knows. great evps, get out and frans bitch lol ladies we always knew PMS was a curse, im there with ya sister also but for a spirit to sound like he's sniffing you, too bad you couldnt have decked him one lol had you heard it on the spot.

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. I've actually been involved in a number of paranormal investigations, have a ton of gear and so forth. I also used to live in a house which was definitely haunted given everything that would happen. So I certainly understand how things of this nature work, I've not heard genuine EVP that clear before however and I just feel that the EVP is out of context and certainly gives the impression of a reaction. But again, that's only my opinion.

[GH0ST0L0GY]

That was great! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to Pt. 3!

[blackcatsdomain]

Great EVP's you all ! Very good investigation. I wonder why in this instance the EVP goes off on Fran as we always get positive "Fran EVP's"..lol

[wolfparanormal]

Excellent!  :)

3:57 mark: I hear "Fran's a bitch"

4:09 mark: I hear "help me" being whispered

6:12 mark: I hear "his house"

Fran, about the hot flashes: I'm there with ya, sister... *hug*
