Thank you Future Paranormal Investigators for sharing your camera view with us to go along with ours from the hallway!

More strange and unusual things happening here at the hotel. Just watch this timelapse of a group running past the ball in the hallway all night long...and then hours after they leave, it moves from its spot and almost goes into the doll room!

Over the last year, the thing that has most surprised me about owning this building is the spirit of little Wilma!

This spirit went from barely here with an occasional EVP or disembodied voice, to learning to turn on lights, manipulate objects and long sessions of running up and down the hallways playing and laughing. This weekend she activated a toy dog brought by guests that requires a physical pet action to activate.

Her growth and development over this last year have us thinking that she might be on her way to showing herself!

What do you think, can spirits learn and develop their own abilities to manifest in different ways?

What started as a simple question-and-answer session with a motion-activated music box took an unexpected turn.

As the investigator asked if she should move farther down the hallway, the music box continued responding… almost as if something was leading her deeper into the darkness.

Then, without warning, she felt a shove in the middle of her back.

No one was behind her.

Would you have kept going?

365 Days.

One year ago today, we signed the papers and became the caretakers of the Haunted Olde Park Hotel.

We knew we were buying a historic building.

We knew we were buying a haunted hotel.

What we didn’t know was how much this place would change our lives.

Over the last year we’ve painted walls, repaired floors, fixed plumbing, battled technology, hosted guests from all over the country, investigated strange experiences, made lifelong friends, and learned more history than we ever expected.

There have been victories.

There have been setbacks.

There have been moments where we questioned our sanity.

But there hasn’t been a single day we’ve regretted taking this journey.

To everyone who has stayed with us, investigated with us, watched our livestreams, supported our Patreon, attended our events, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines—thank you.

This building existed long before us and will hopefully stand long after us. We are simply the current chapter in a much larger story.

Thank you for helping make this first year one we’ll never forget.

Happy One-Year Anniversary to the Olde Park Hotel family.

We’d love to hear your favorite stories from the past year. What’s been your favorite memory, experience, evidence, project? Leave it below in the comments…we are going to pick a random comment to get a new Haunted Olde Park Hotel tshirt.
