Investigation
Date
and Duration:
Location
Status:
Reported
Activity: For
years, the personnel working at this fire station have reported
witnessing doors closing or opening by themselves, hearing the sound
of someone whistling coming from the area of the truck bays, seeing
shadows and hearing strange footsteps after the sound of doors
closing. Many strange banging and knocking noises were also reported
to come from the basement when no one was down there. To their
knowledge, no deaths or tragedies have occurred on the property.
AUDIO and EVP

Conclusion:
When
we addressed the sound of someone whistling, it was reported that the
whistling was more of a monotone sound and not that of a tune or
melody. In the truck bay area where the sound is reported to be
heard, we discovered that many of the trucks are connected to an air
system to maintain the pressure in the airs brakes on the truck. One
of the lines had a slight leak causing air to lightly hiss as it
escaped the fitting. During times of increased moisture, it is
possible that a whistling sound could be coming from the air system
or from the air brakes on the trucks themselves if the rubber
diaphragm should allow air to pass through. We did not experience
this directly but it is another option to look for if the whistling
sound is heard again.
In
the basement, our team discovered several items that can, and did in
this case, cause loud banging noises that can be heard from the main
floor. An ice machine producing ice made several noises while making
ice including banging as the ice fell into the main container. An air
compressor and heating system created various noises including the
sound of banging as the duct work for the heating system warmed up
and later cooled down. It is believed that no paranormal causes
created noise in the basement and most sounds can be attributed to
the workings of the equipment in this area.
No
cause could be determined for the opening and closing of the backroom
door as being witnessed by the fire station personnel. The door has
some friction to it as you try to open and close it and it takes a
decent amount of pressure to move it either way. It seems unlikely
that air from the heating system would move it and tests were done to
dismiss that theory. Fire station personnel report no wind or breezes
when it occurs so this activity remains undetermined at this time. While the majority of the activity could have possible ordinary explanations, we could not totally rule out the possibility of a haunting. No evidence was produced to conclude that a haunting is taking place however. The PPA recommends that fire station personnel look into some of our theories as they experience things to further track down the causes and eliminate anything found to be naturally caused as being paranormal.
