Return to Morrison Masonic Lodge
Henry broadcast live once again from the active Morrison Masonic Lodge at 125 North Mulberry Street, Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
I headed to the Paranormal View chat room so I could watch the video live during the show. Para-X had recently installed a new chat room format which was radically different than previously. I could not monitor both the ParaVision page and the regular para-x.com page chat room at the same time.
Henry first interviewed the Secretary of the Lodge Bill Mercer, aka the Caretaker. The building is over a century old; previously it was a field hospital during the war-between-the-states, movie theatre, doctors' offices, dentists (causing a few [albeit accidental] deaths). Behind the lodge is a former church which seemed to host more funerals than anything else. Also nearby was one of the homes of General Armstrong Custer.
Henry indicated that, ghost hunt wise, that Kris Williams and Amy Bruni would be leading one group hunting in one area, while another group elsewhere. The two lovely ladies were speaking to the attendees while our show was going on.
Bill Mercer conveyed what activity about which he was aware: voices, moving curtains, opening doors, Shadow People, a little girl ghost upstairs in the old projection room, etc. One veteran back from Iraq was working up there and there was the little girl, and he addressed her to no response, and he'll not return upstairs.
Bill explained that large to small groups can come investigate the Good Sized Building, as Henry called it, and Bill described some of the layout. He recounted a comical paranormal event he and his wife experienced; during some vacuuming in the front, she came out of the bathroom to find a penny on the floor. Later she changed the paper in the men's room to find another penny, which she accused Bill of fooling around. He pointed out his location that he couldn't have done it; apparently the ghost/s were paying her for her work. She also gets touched by a ghost the people call Albert, but she denies believing in ghosts. When Henry asked if Craig and I had any questions, we both encouraged Henry of checking out the projection room and the empty, "unused" fourth floor, even though Henry implied he'd only check out such spots with someone else.
Bill told us about how in the 1800s one Masonic member went up to the alter to close the Bible at the end of a meeting, and he simply died of a heart attack, which seems to have created an element of force on the stairs, as though Something is trying to get by.
Puzzlingly calling him "Greg" momentarily, Henry has Craig take us into the first break at 0:40 into the show. In my headsets the music was really muddy sounding. As the break continued it began to sound like a radio played under a pillow.
Henry welcomed Kris williams and Ami Bruni to the mic. It was their first time there, Amy said. As the hunt was about to start on the hour there, the two girls hastily departed, promising to be Full On Show Guests one day soon.
The video was done up as Night Shoot as Henry conveyed some of the evidence he got last time. I took us into the second break, though Henry sort of re-outro'd as well, and he went off to find people he had had scheduled to speak.
Craig and I were in the chat room, wondering why Henry would be hesitant to check out the spots we'd head to in a heartbeat.
Henry brought out J C Anderson as a guest. Once during an investigation there they'd set up cups in a way that when they returned later it was clear Something had moved them, as well as catching a ghostly sillouette on camera. He spoke of how he got into paranormal investigating and such, and other experiences, plus providing the online haunted aspect of the lodge, as well as its Facebook profile.
When about ten minutes left to the racing-by show, Henry then brought out Alex Tetloe (brother of Marc Tetloe, apparently). Alex began speaking of us investigating Moon River Brewing Company, when Skype bailed out and kicked out Craig and me. Henry's Air-Card had failed, but he felt that while his WinAmp also cut out and froze, he should have gotten at least up to when that point.
Moments before the show officially was to end, just before being cut off himself, the show ending as cleanly as though by a surgeon's knife, Henry did notice Craig and my absense.
