What's up paranormals?
Hello everyone! Linda S. Chadwick, Owner and Lead Investigator reporting in today. Amber Chadwick is taking a short break, but don't worry she'll be back on duty soon. But until then, I'll fill you in on the happenings at Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, Texas.
In this blog, I will be discussing Heaven and Hell Paranormal Investigators investigation and collected evidence from our paranormal investigation at Haunted Hill House.
History of the Location
Haunted Hill House was approximately built in 1898 in the shadow of the famous Baker Hotel at 501 N.E. 1st Street in Mineral Wells, Texas. It is a majestic two story home that sits on a peer and beam foundation. It has towering 12 foot ceilings and a beautiful oak staircase. In its prime, this house was for sure a loving family home as well as quite the showplace. The historical records reveal very little that alludes to the home's past. However, for the past 15 years it has been a rental property to the same family. The family evidently experienced a lot of paranormal activity, some bordering on the extreme. It is reported that they left in a hurry, leaving it in ill repair. The current owner states that he was able to speak with the female who grew up in the house. She told him she had pages and pages of recorded activity, and that under no circumstances would she return to this home. The owner, Phil Kirchhoff, has become quite familiar with the house, and has conducted quite a bit of research and interviews with people. The following rumors are it may have been a brothel at one point in the history. One of the prostitutes gave birth to a mongoloid child who lived in the attic until his death at the age of six. Another rumor is, a young child accidently hung himself beside the house. Finally the last rumor, Phil Kirchhoff alluded that something may have been brought into the home possibly by a negative force such as devil worship or witchcraft.

Paranormal Evidence
We collected a substantial amount of paranormal evidence from this investigation; we captured EVP's, as well as video and photographic evidence. The video cameras were set up in different locations of the house, covering as many bases as possible. We sat a video camera up at the bottom of the oak staircase aiming upwards. We also sat up a video camera at the back doorway of the home looking inward. We also sat a video camera up in the kitchen shooting the interior. It was on the video camera at the bottom of the staircase in which we captured very intriguing evidence. The team and owner left to go downtown and the video camera continued to film the entire time. Upon reviewing, we discovered you could clearly hear footsteps upstairs walking back and forth and just a bit after that you could clearly hear a voice whisper, "Yes." The most exciting was the video taped evidence of our interaction with the spirit occupying the upstairs attic. When we asked it to push the ball over, it did, not once but several times.
We sat up EVP recorders throughout the house, including the attic where the supposed child stayed. We also left an EVP recorder running while we slept. We captured quite a bit of evidence, most while we slept. You could hear footsteps upstairs, whispering of voices, bumps, furniture scoots, moaning and faint whistling. But probably the most compelling was the EVP's which occurred in the same room while we were sleeping. The equipment suitcase handles jiggling back and forth, and the voice whispering, "Who is this?"
We also sat up trigger devices throughout the house. We do so by sprinkling powder then gently laying the trigger devices such as playing cards, poker chips, balls, marbles, toy car and candy in the center. We take pictures before and then at the end of the investigation. We did have disturbances in the powder with the candy and the playing cards.
We took many random photographs throughout the night using digital cameras, infrared cameras and disposable cameras. Although the photographic evidence wasn't as plentiful as the other evidence, we did gather a few worth mentioning such as unexplained color light sources, shadows, and translucent anomalies.

CONCLUSION
Heaven and Hell Paranormal Investigators spent approximately 16 hours locked down inside this house, and had our fair share of personal experiences. We believe our team has come up with effective scientific methods and procedures that assist and ensure us in obtaining hard evidence that backs up any and all of the personal experiences.
Haunted Hill House is well over 100 years old, so its only reasonable a lot of the noises be attributed to this, but without historically backed up evidence it is hard to say without a shadow of doubt why this home is experiencing paranormal activity. However, what is factual is Mineral Wells, Texas was built over a heavy concentration of rock, quartz and the 'crazy water' mineral wells in which the town became famous. Quartz, as well as the other rocks are naturally occurring paranormal residual recording stones, storing energy within them. The mineral waters have also been regarded for years to hold special powers therefore it is only logical to surmise that what is occurring here is a residual haunting. A residual haunting is an imprint of a past event playing itself out over and over for every generation to experience over a period of years or even centuries.
Heaven and Hell Paranormal Investigators believe that the walls of Haunted Hill House is holding onto the energy of the people who inhabited it throughout the years as well as the events that occurred there. Is it haunted? Yes, our team believes it is.
