What started off as a normal walk through quickly
became more active. The first stop was a back alley behind an old
communications group building. This building was empty and unused. There was
still power in the building which was evident from the lights. There was a peep
hole at the back door for occupants to look out of. That is how we could see
the lights. I saw that something had block out the light for a split second.
Then there was a tapping on the inside of the door that was very distinct. This
was heard by the others with me. The quick back story to this building was that
a homeless person was sleeping under the building in a crevice that had opened
up. He got trapped inside during the winter apparently. They found his body at
some point later one, allegedly he froze to death. The assumption is that the
tapping was the man’s attempt at getting someone’s attention for help. What
also should be mentioned is that prior to hearing these things, our tour guide
did not alert us to anything yet, she let us find out first before telling us
what had happened.
Nearby was a partially vacant lot that once housed a
pie shop. The owner was a lady who had one practiced her religious beliefs on
site. To reiterate, we were not told of
the story until after we had noticed anything. My first alert was that a number
of times I could see a figure moving around from point to point. It was a
shadow but clearly a human being. I noticed it a few times while there. I said
nothing at first and just kept it to myself, it was the tour guide Johanna who
noticed my inattention to the group as I was trying to figure out what I saw.
She asked me what it was, so I explained. She then informed me of the history
of the location and that the owner was a former voodoo practitioner who also
did supernatural works within the building. The shadow figures have been
reported there for a long time. I was lucky enough to have experienced it for
myself. During the walk through in Inglewood, using a piece of equipment known
as a K2 meter, which picks up Electro Magnetic Fields and displays it in a LED
light system to show strength, we
noticed it was reacting to something in the area. This is later debunked when
we return to the main story.
Along this same route there was a house turned into
a clinic in an area which had reported sightings of a person who regularly
would be seen standing on the top floor balcony. This person was always
described as see through. There are also regular reports of poltergeist
activity in this location. Through the windows of this clinic, which is always
empty at night, there was clear visual evidence of movement in the building. We
could all see the shadows moving inside, but no one was there. One of our group
members even rapped on the door to see if someone would answer the door, but no
one was there. Something was moving around and it was at least the height of a
person. It or they were moving around on each level of the building.
There were a couple of places that we went to that
were inactive, but the cream of the crop for experiences that night was right
along the pathway. Rob and I had been walking ahead of the other 2. Something
caught my eye, I looked up and moved closer to try and view it up close. I
could see a big black mass that had a solid shape but looked like it was a
black cloud. It was clearly there and I had started moving faster to get to it,
Rob was right on my tail as he also had seen it. It stayed there for a few
seconds while we moved towards it and I could see the movement within its
shape. Then as we got within 10 meters of the mass, it vanished in front of us.
This is the part of the story that brought us back to the spot.
At 7 45 pm I met with Rob and Trevor, the other half
of West Paranormal. Rob and I had wanted to see if we could figure out what
happened back in October. We walked the area in day light to get a lay of the
land. This was along the path where we had gotten EMF readings that looked as
though we were chasing something. We were able to debunk this because we
noticed while the sun was up that the route we followed in October had power
lines that followed the same route. It was nothing paranormal at all, just
power lines. We could not see them in the dark. It was a moment we could laugh
at, which we did. The real reason was to go back and determine what it was that
caused the black mass. We tried putting a person in the area to view from a
distance. We tried playing with flash lights to see if it was some kind of cast
off of a shadow. Nothing could get the same effect. We analysed the way the
light cast off the river to see if it could have somehow created the mass, but
still nothing. Ultimately we could not recreate the black mass, or mist, that we
witnessed that night. We were there for a while trying to get something, but
nothing was working. We did not see it again, but we were happy at the fact
that Rob and I did see the same thing, and couldn’t recreate how it got there.
As we could not debunk it, we knew we saw something unexplainable.
As we were happy enough we decided to call it a
night. Walking back down the path to return to our vehicles, I felt a tug on
the strap of my camera bag. Hard enough to pull my shoulder down a bit, I
turned back to Rob assuming he was trying to get my attention. Oddly enough he
was not close enough to grab my shoulder strap. I looked at him and asked if he
did that, of course he didn’t. I told him that my shoulder strap got tugged on
and showed him how hard. With a smile, all he could say was “It looks like we
at least got someone’s attention.”
With all that said, though we did not see the mass
again, it is certain that whatever it was, did happen.
