<p><font size="3">The GhostHalo investigative team began on the first floor in the area known as the Civil War room. The team was lead by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of TAPS, two of the most seasoned paranormal investigators in the world of paranormal investigation with over 36 yeas of combined experience. Jason and Grant lead us to the area where the night before they had made contact with a former patient of TALA named Jake. Using a modified K2/K-II EMF meter and using a series of controlled questions they were able to establish that the presence of Jake was real and not just random EMF spikes caused by electromagnetic interference or a faulty K2 meter. Jason and Grant went through the entire alphabet with Jake in order to spell out his name. He identified himself as being an alcohol abuse patient in the early 1970's.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">On this night, July 11th, we were fortunate enough to make contact with Jake again. The video of this session can be seen on YouTube or below. As the session went on two more K2 meters were placed next to the first one by different investigators. All three would register the presence of Jake. The conversation with Jake ended when a new entity or presence entered the area, (this portion of the video is absent for unknown reasons, nothing paranormal I assure sure, we'll call it "investigator error" or simply; shutting the camera down a little too soon).<br/> <br/>This new presence, identifying itself as a nurse, seemed to be combative in nature. This combativeness could very well have been the nurse entity asserting her authority and possibly protecting the patients in the room. Either way, the entity was determined to take over the session and relieved Jake in short order. The K2 meter responses with Jake for the most part were short and concise, only with certain questions were the lights on the meter "lively". With the nurse entity it was a different story. The K2 meter sustained a strong almost wild signal during the all too brief session. In other words, the lights on the meter went crazy. Showing a definite personality change from that of Jake.</font></p>

Grant showed us the area where he saw a ghost cover it's head with it's arms, crouch down and then get pulled out of the room. If you've seen the TALA investigation on the television show Ghost Hunters (SciFi Channel), then you know what I'm talking about.</font> <br/><br/><img title="Grant in Civil War room" height="338" alt="Grant Wilson of TAPS in Civil War room" src="http://www.ghosthalo.com/content_images/1/Grant_CWR.gif" width="450" align="center" border="0"/><br/><font size="2">Grant Wilson (center) co-founder of TAPS.<br/><br/></font><font size="3">During the Civil War room investigation one of the GhostHalo team members experienced the "cob web effect". This is when your touched with what feels like a cob web. The investigator was taking pictures when he felt the cob web on his left hand. Brushing it off he realized there was nothing there. After brushing his left hand off, the feeling came back to the same area of his hand only with a heavier more intense feeling. It then traveled down his arm to his elbow, "After the initial cobweb feeling it seemed to coalesce into a solid more definite pressure sensation. It moved down my arm and then stopped at my elbow. I could almost feel finger tips as it moved along the outside of my arm. Maybe it liked my sleeve (tattoo)."  <br/><br/><img title="" height="342" alt="" src="http://www.ghosthalo.com/content_images/1/steve_me.gif" width="449" align="baseline" border="0"/><br/><font size="2">Me clowning around with Steve / Steve not clowing around with me</font><br/><br/>From the 1st floor we moved on to the 2nd floor and began working with Kris Williams. </font>
