My first point of contact with the Opera House was Jill Grantham, who assisted me with a scouting expedition to the location. Luckily we were able to take part in a tour, directed by Don Taylor and Amy Hedges. After learning the storied history of the location and the associated haunting’s, I gathered my team for an investigation. On Sunday, July 1st, our group meet Don at the Opera House and conducted a two hour intensive investigation. We gathered recordings for EVP analysis, photographic evidence and scan the building for anomalous EMF and temperature variance.
Impressions:
The Opera House is one of the best investigations sights I’ve covered in the last 15 years. It has a wealth of history and a fantastic feel. Inside you are transported back to the peak of the 1900’s with its period decor and theme.
Preserve The Ralston Opera House!
I encourage you to visit the website Don Taylor has put together and make a 5 dollar donation to the cause of restoration and promotion of the Opera House.
