| Location: Sacramento, CA API Members present: Dave, Ann, Cat, Janelle, Mike, and Sabrina Information that prompted investigation: This is the first investigation set up for us by California Haunts to film. This a very old ice rink with a history of tragic accidents and death. The owners and other late night witnesses state the presence of a man following them around to make sure they are careful. Also, at 4:00am an odd fog descends upon this ice rink, unlike typical fog. It is different from other rinks as well. It comes quickly and goes quickly, without regard to temperature or humidity. Several photographs taken here demonstrate large cloudy white orbs on one photograph and gone on the next. Also, per regular skaters, it often feels like somebody is present with them. They all do not like the woman’s bathroom due to the toilet water running for no apparent reason at times. The Investigation: The team arrived at 5:30 pm and set up our equipment. We began our walk through and photography. Sabrina, our sensitive, was given no information, but was aware that activity had been reported at the ice rink. Ann began by interviewing the ice rink manager, employees, and regular skaters willing to share experiences. The API team then moved next door, where the ice is made. There were numerous reports of a man saying, “Be careful”, in this location. Immediately, Patricia (filming for California Haunts) experienced wild video recorder power fluctuations. From the battery dropping to empty and back to more than her beginning power. During this time she became nauseated and dizzy. Also, her recorder started going in and out of focus when standing still. This theme occurred throughout the night in the ice rink as well by all team members. Cameras, video, and any electrical equipment fluxed erratically. After filming the front area, API proceeded to the rear of the building. This area contained a six foot by six foot basement room. Ann obtained photographs and conducted an EVP session inside this room. On the recording a young girl crying is heard. The machinery above is very loud. Therefore even though EVP was obtained, the background noise makes it impossible to listen to. Sabrina and Ann explored the outside area between the ice rink and the ice house. But have only our feelings to prove. After a break, the team began exploring the ice rink. Many photographs of the same areas were taken with different cameras. Again and again distinct orbs are seen. They illuminate brightly and are in motion at times. Along with the orb activity seen are spikes in the EMF readings from 0.4 to 3.6. While Ann found a mid air length of elevation, three different cameras and the video all went out of focus for about three minutes. Also, a fog is seen on video and on the cameras. None of the skaters or API members were able to see this mist. Along with it a very cold breeze was felt by various members. Temperature fluxes were noted, but since it is an ice rink, discounted. API attempted to recreate the mist, but were unsuccessful. At various times all members felt ill or nauseated for no reason. When we stepped outside, the feeling subsided. We concluded at 10:00pm, very, very tired. The Findings: Photography displayed various orbs of defined outlines of all sizes, color, and motion. One near the roof is reddish and very different. Ecto mist appears on all cameras, from different angles, during EMF spikes. The EMF spikes parallel the shape of the mist. Also during these times, cameras lost focus and couldn’t refocus. Battery fluxes were wildly changing to empty and past full. The EVP recorded various sounds. The most impressive being a girl whimpering in the ice house basement room. Sabrina sensed several entities throughout both buildings. Ann also sensed a grandfather with one arm in the ice house. Temperature readings are discounted since this is an ice rink. Follow Up: The owner suggested API return to witness the strange 4:00am fog on the ice. We will consider returning in the future. After all, it is an ice rink. However, skaters alike say this is something different. |
