Gordonsville Exchange Hotel: The Tour

9:21pm  Well, we finished our initial tour of the main hotel, the kitchen building, and the train depot. Got a lot of activity all ready. Men talking on the 3rd floor. Thousands of people rushing around us at the depot when the train went by. We heard a whistle in the train room. Really cool. More soon!

10:39pm  Cameras are set up. Getting ready to start.

12:38pm  We've completed some investigation of the 3rd floor and the 2nd floor. Justin went to the 3rd floor alone but only stayed about 15 minutes. He came down because he didn't feel welcome. During that time, Brandy and I did an EVP session in the Mourning Room. We got several hits using the voice box (a box that allows spirits to communicate directly to you). We learned of Emma Woods, a freed black woman who was a teacher. She spoke the words "letters" "south" "apple" "teacher". We found out that Emma had mailed letters south to her family telling them about being a teacher. We didn't know Emma's last name until after this session. Another name that came up was John Mallory. We aren't totally sure of who he was except that he was a soldier.
Our 2nd round began upstairs with Justin, Brandy, and me. We started out on the 3rd floor which is where the Surgery Room, Jacob's Room, Dr. Libby's Room, and the Artillery Room are. We didn't get very much in the Surgery Room except for a few words on the voice box. In Jacob's Room everyone, including the spirits, got a laugh out of me falling through one of the beds. The voice box stated "paranormal" "funny". In the Artillery Room we got a lot of discussion on the voice box. When Brandy asked what the spirits wanted us to do. The response we got was unexpectedly eerie "leave now". We left. As we sit here updating everyone and taking a break, my digital recorder is recording outside of Dr. Libby's Room.
We left the 3rd floor and went down to the Lady's Parlor. While in the Lady's Parlor Brandy got a start when something pulled her hair. While I looked at the piano and sang the song on the sheet music Brandy asked if they liked the piano, the voice box said "learn" and "Heather play". So I sang the song a little louder. In the Dead Hall, where the dead were piled up with other body parts awaiting to be buried, Brandy felt extremely out of breath. I also had a difficult time breathing.
Haven't heard back from Steve and Jason, yet. They are out checking the Train Depot. They must be getting some interesting stuff because they've been out there for over 2 hours.

5:10AM Well, we've finished up for the evening. Starting to pack up everything now. Got some great stuff and we'll be uploading evidence once we've reviewed everything. It was a great night. Lot's of neat things happened and some eerie things, too.
