State of the Watchmen – 2011

2011 started off on a high note, coming back from our Gettysburg trip in December in which we were the FIRST to do do DUAL investigations at Jennie Wade House Museum & Solider’s Museum/Orphanage! Thats both places in the same night same time, we did it for nights in a row! A big thank you to our Friends Chris and Kendra from Spirit Realm Investigation who helped fill out our numbers. This was just the first of many interesting things for us. We spoke at Delaware Valley College to students in March about the paranormal, which was awesome and I hope we are invited back again! We attended our first expo in June at the Historic Bolton Mansion, in levittown. July brought a tandem investigation with NJSPR. In August Bekah Liz decided to leave the group and we wish her the best in her future paranormal plans, she is now over at Parahistory. We welcomed Mandi Simone in September to our family as our new researcher. October has been jam packed with changes & Events! We welcomed officially a long time friend and awesome person Christina Smith to our ranks. We attended our 2nd ever Expo at the historic Fort Mifflin, in Philadelphia. Our first local event we helped promote and had a table at was the Tylersport Firehouse Haunted Hayride, which was a blast! We also had our first public meet and greet at the OBR Hotel (Old bethlem Road Hotel) in Quakertown & Scheduled our FIRST public reveal of our findings of the OBR Hotel for sometime in 2012!! Should be a very fun filled night! We also have a few Open Positions available, Video person (2), Photographer, Researcher (2), and a marketing person to help with logo designs/other marketed related things.

All in all we the Midnight Watchmen are growing towards more then just ghost hunters, we are explorers of the unknown and as such I expect 2012 to really be an interesting year. We plan on having our first DVD of cases available for sale early in the first quarter of 2012! In the works is a public ghost hunt at a historic tavern and the year will also be filled with joint cases with other groups, a few new members and more importantly we’ll be shedding some light onto the dark… Knowledge and helping people is the core of our “business/hobby/field”. And That is what we do best!

In closing I’d like to thank my team from our current members to the ones who are no longer with us, as all of you have had an influence on what the Midnight Watchmen have become and will be tomorrow. Their are not words for me to express my joy and happiness in doing what we do, for me it was a dream since I was child to be a “ghostbuster”, this the next best thing to that, only thing we’re missing is an Ecto-1, but if that’s all we’re missing that ain’t too bad….

Peace,
Cedric

Personal Experiences – OBR HOTEL

9-6-2011

Cedric:

While doing an E.V.P. session in Room 4, I saw the hallway go dark for a second like a black mass moved by the door. We were up on the 2nd floor and nothing should be be able to block out the light from the windows which are decent size facing that hallway. At the bar on the main floor while standing figuring what our next step was with Brandis in front of me, As we were talking I looked down and saw a ball of misty white light near the floor by Brandis. I looked up to see if he saw it and he looked down to his left spotting it as well, we then both watched as it came towards me and then arced between us as it disappeared to my left. It never lost shape or intensity as it went between us. We tried to debunk it as a reflection, but no vehicles had gone by and as low as it was to the floor would have made a light reflection similar to the magic bullet theory.

Brandis:

During an investigation at the OBR, Cedric and I went into room 4 to do evp work. While sitting on the bed and looking toward the doorway I saw a flash of light beyond my line of sight. It was like something either blocked out the light from the hall for less then a second or kind of like a flashlight being shined in for a split second. Cedric noticed something as well, being he was facing the same way as me. We went into the hallway to figure out what just happened. We were unable to explain it at the time. Later on, we were downstairs at the bar. I was standing with Cedric in front of the bar, setting up my full spectrum camera. While looking down at the display out of the corner of my eye I saw a white orb/mist moving between us. I then followed it with my eyes till it disappeared to the right of me. Afterwords I looked over at Cedric and we asked each other what we saw just then. Confirming we both saw something we started trying to debunk it as a reflection off a passing car. Though neither of us remember hearing a car go by. At the time we couldn’t debunk it and just hoped our DVR camera or the OBR security camera caught it.
