The Twin city opera house
     Mcconnelsville Ohio
We arrived at the Opera House just as the movie of the evening was ending,
about 8:45 p.m.   We met with one of the employees who proceeded to give us
a tour of the building.  After the initial tour I was disappointed to learn that the
old parts of the building such as the old ballroom and old city offices would be
off limits to us due to safety reasons.  We set up our control center on the main
stage where apparitions have been reported.  After setting up our command
post we started our investigation.

With Rick and Nancy starting in the upper balcony, Jeni, Nina and myself
headed for the basement.  While in the basement we weren't able to get any
evp's but we did capture some very good orb apparitions and the smell of
flowers which we later determined was coming from air fresheners in the
restrooms.  While we were in the basement Rick called us to ask where we
were at and proceeded to tell us that he and Nancy had seen an apparition
cross the stage behind the screen that they show movies on as if in a hurry.  
We decided to make our way upstairs to the stage in hopes of witnessing the
apparition ourselves.  As we were making our way upstairs we had picked up a
voice telling us to "run".  We were also able to pick up a little girl's voice
saying "beep" as Rick was loading a new tape in the video camera on the stage.

In a previous investigation to the Greenlawn Mausoleum, Rick found out the
hard way not to tell the spirits that they are deceased. He picked a male voice
telling him to "walk away, walk outside" and "get the F#@% out".  As we were
joking about it behind the screen on stage, Rick reminded me not to say that,
which I replied "it's too late" I had said that in the basement.  Later while
listening to the evp's I picked up a male voice believed to be that of Everett (a
former usher at the opera house that supposedly haunts the theatre) saying
"smooth" then you hear footsteps walking away with a heavy sigh.  We are in
contact with the owner of the theatre about a return trip for a second
investigation very soon.

Upon further reviews of the evp's Rick was able to get a female voice replying
"no" when he asked if they knew what year it was.  We will keep you posted on
new evidence that we get on our return visit to the opera house.
