Texan Paranormal Investigators Film Orbs In Old Hotel
[Original headline: Paranormal investigators seek supernatural at local business]
They blew in under the cover of the night sky, seeking things considered dark in nature. They may have found some.
Members of Metroplex Paranormal Investigation converged on the building that currently is home to the Jalapeno Grill late Saturday night hoping to find traces of the supernatural.
"I had heard of the Mallory Hotel and of the prostitute supposedly murdered there," said Vicki Isaacks, one of the investigators who led a team of about 10. "... I know we've got something."
Pictures revealed what Isaacks said were orbs, "things that look like bubbles in pictures and are thought to be balls of spirit energy, made up of electro-energy."
Isaacks said her crew snapped hundreds of digital and 35 mm film photos, and even rolled film on video with infrared capability. The complete investigation of Saturday's excursion will not be complete for four to six weeks, she said, as other materials from other members trickle in.
Jay Hoover, co-owner of the Jalapeno Grill, said he had heard the stories of the hotel murder and had read old newspaper clips. While he said he has never had an encounter with the supernatural at the restaurant, some employees have.
"I hear from bartenders and wait staff about all kinds of strange stuff," he said. "(One waitress) was straightening the bar when she noticed a lady looking at her. She looked up and said, 'Can I help you?' and nobody was there."
Isaacks said her investigating group, together just more than a year, travels all over North Texas tracking paranormal stories. She said they have conducted about 30 meetings total.
They would like to visit the Jalapeno Grill again.
"We didn't have a couple of pieces of equipment we should have, so we want to do a follow up if the owners will allow," Isaacks said. "... From what I saw, we got some orbs on digitals ... and we'll wait to see what we got on camcorders and 35 mm."
Isaacks will not be sure what all her group uncovered on the first visit until she has a chance to examine all the images, but she does know this: The trip to Corsicana was rewarding indeed.
"It was one of the most interesting we've done," she said. "We do a lot of homes, but we like businesses better because more people can have input into what's happening."
