Investigation
On this second investigation of the theater, Hoosier Paranormal Research decided to have a fund raiser and sell raffle tickets to investigate along with HPR on this night.  The winner could have a friend along which they arrived around 10:00 pm.  Kenny gave the guests a tour of the theater before the investigation. The investigation officially began at 10:54 pm.  The first team to investigate along with our guests were:  Kenny, Elisa and Joe running documentary camera. The second team was Greg, Kelly and Robert on documentary camera.

Investigation Time Line
At 11:02 pm, team 1 went into the masonic room on the third floor.  Elisa sat in the chair on the east end of the room and conducted an EVP session.  At 11:19 pm, team 1 decided to go to the men's restroom on the second floor as earlier, Kelly had an uneasy feeling about going in there.  At 11:21 pm, team 1 conducted an EVP session in the men's restroom.  At 11:25 pm, Elisa was concerned about our K2 meter working and wanted to test it to the fuse panel. The only panel we could get a reading from was the power box on the stage where the meter pegged.  By this time, it was 11:29 pm.  Being in the auditorium, team 1 investigated on the stage. At 11:49 pm, they heard someone outside the back of the building singing.  At 11:52 pm, they noticed a slight drop in temperature just in front of the stage on "house left" but was not enough to signify anything paranormal.  At 11:57 pm, Greg radioed us and confirmed that there was music in town.  At 12:02 am,  team 2 radioed in for rotation and team 1 exited the building.  At 12:05 am, team 2 entered the office on the second floor. They conducted an EVP session with questions hoping to reveal the presence of any spirits like Keith "Hotdog" Barrett, the theater manager in the 1970s,  who has since died.  At 12:18 am, Kelly claimed that it started to feel "heavy" in the room and the feeling of being watched.  This continued for several minutes.  At 12:21 am, Greg commented, "It feels like it's gotten colder in here". At 12:23 am, the K2 meter had some activity but was not consistent.   At 12:29 am, they went into the projection room and Kelly smelled smoke or the smell of something burnt.  At 12:32 am, they went into the men's restroom on the second floor.  At 12:35 am, they decided to go downstairs and replace the documentary video tape and they noticed the strong smell of cherry candy in the stairwell as they proceeded down the steps. Later, they found a raspberry room freshener in the broom closet atop the steps.  After replacing the video tape, they decided to proceed to the organ pipe room behind the masonic room on the third floor.  They entered the pipe room at 12:41 am. Kelly had a hard time breathing in that room.  At 12:43 am, they entered the masonic room when Kelly announced she had a bad headache.    At 12:45 am, Greg said he heard a voice but it was not recorded on audio.  At 12:49 am, Kelly makes a comment that it feels like something is pushing on her chest.  At 12:50 am, Kelly feels a burning sensation on her chest.  At 12:52 am, they heard something that came from the inside but it was not recorded.  At 12:54 am, Robert saw what appeared to be a puff of smoke over one of our guest's head. She did not smoke.  At 12:56 am, Kelly felt something poke her in the back but her back was to the wall.  At 1:05 am, the team went downstairs into the lobby area.  Kelly wanted to see her neck and chest to see if she was burned. The others also came inside at this time. At 1:15 am, Joe and Elisa with Kenny on documentary went up to the office to investigate. The guests decided they wanted to take a break so it was only the investigators and Kenny.  Starting with an EVP session, they asked questions directed to Mr. Barrett. At 1:26 am, they decided to move to the banquet room.  When they arrived, they closed the blinds in the room to achieve total darkness in the room. This room was completely dark and quiet. They could have heard a pin drop anywhere in the building it was so quiet. At 1:48 am, the team left this room and went into the masonic room to investigate.  Again, hearing absolutely nothing, it was a very peaceful and quiet room.  At 2:00 am, the others radioed back  to the investigating team that they were going to make a coffee run.  At 2:09 am, the team decided to head back down to the lobby. When they arrived, the others had got back with coffee.  It was a chilly night with temps in the 30's. While in the lobby, at 2:11 am, the K2 meter lights jumped a few times.  At 2:16 am,  Robert, Kelly and Greg on documentary video and the guests, took over the investigation while the others waited outside in the van.  They took to the stage area where there were reports of cold spots and strange feelings.  They conducted an EVP session in front of the stage on "house right".  At 2:28 am, they were on the south side of the stage in back near the basement door.  They were considering going down in the basement but the documentary camera only had a few minutes of video left.  Robert was feeling a bit creeped out about going down which is very unusual. The steps go nearly straight down. He did go down with the K2 meter.  He felt spider webs and said it was very creepy.  He said it was very "spidery" down there.  He climbed back up the ladder and the team started working there way up to the masonic room at 2:35 am when they radioed the others to go to the back of the theater to shine a light on the back door to investigate lights that shown thru the rear curtain on the stage. Earlier, it was determined that the lights were shinning through the crack of the door which is located on the back side of the theater.  The lights were orange color, higher and more to the right than the ones shown thru with a flashlight.  It was never determined that it was a car.  After that, the team decided it was time to go and replace the documentary video tape then proceed up to the masonic room for a final investigation.  When they arrived at the top of the steps, at 2:44 am, the documentary voice recorder ran out of memory.  The rest of this report is based on my memory and the documentary video.  After reaching the masonic room, Kelly sat in the big chair on the east end of the room and prompted an EVP session with some provoking.  After a few minutes, she noticed a shadow on the wall to her left.  Not knowing whether it was hers or someone else's, she moved to see if it moved. When it didn't move, she became quite uneasy about sitting in that chair.  When she looked forward, she felt something grab her right arm. Out of panic, she jumped out of the chair and quickly exited the room along with the guests and Robert leaving Greg behind with the camera.  The other team came inside and joined the others and they all returned back to the masonic room when Elisa would try and provoke in the same chair when she felt the chair move as if it were shaking.  Feeling as if she was being picked on by being poked, grabbed, burning sensations and feelings of being watched over, Kelly decided to exit the building and end her participation in this investigation.   The others remained in the masonic room and Elisa continued provoking with no further success.  The investigation ended at 3:50 am after which tear down began. This was one of our longest investigations and the long process of going over the evidence was ahead.

Findings
A multitude of indexes were marked on our voice recorders and all of them but one have been identified and debunked.  The one EVP that we recorded that can't be explained is a fairly good one. It was recorded at 12:29 am in the projection room.  What makes this one unique is that the K2 meter also lit up at the same time and occurred right after Greg asked the question, "Was there a fire in here?". This EVP just adds to the mystery of the building and continued research is a must for this great theater. There were also personal experiences. Most of which were Kelly's.
