I’m going to give you guys a sneak peak at one of the anomalies we had last night (August 2, 2023) at The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. I don’t want to show off too much because we want to present it in the final production Halloween weekend!

BUT, this was too crazy.

In the prison there is a cell where a 22 year old inmate, James Lockhart, lit himself on fire after he wasn’t paroled. Obviously he didn’t make it. This would have been back in the 1960s.

I split from Psychic Tammy Schuster and Dawn about midway through the night to do a flashlight and EVP session in his cell.

Now, I know there are quite a few people out there thinking they’ve debunked the flashlight theory but I’m telling you this was the real deal. Intelligent yes or no responses (light on/ light off), everything appeared to sync up.

The entire time I was communicating I felt comfortable, like I was having a normal conversation with another person. Keep in mind I was alone in a cell in a 250,000 square foot abandoned facility that is considered one of the most haunted places in the world.

But here I am, in a cell, “alone,” and feeling comfort. I felt an odd connection with this spirit and I think it’s because I wasn’t challenging him or pestering him about his death. I asked about what he was looking forward to when he got out, etc.

I left the cell feeling very good and not afraid. I explained to him that he could follow us around the prison if he wanted to. Usually I feel exhausted after one of these sessions but I felt energized. It was weird.

I met back up with Psychic Tammy Schuster and Dawn. I told them about my positive experience and asked Tammy to come up to the cell to give it sort of a “reading.” Tammy confirmed my thoughts, it was a comforting spirit with no ill intentions.

We had the idea to take a photo with the polaroid camera. We decided since I was connecting with this spirit to ask him to stand next to me in the photo.

The photo came out and this is what we got.

Keep in mind we’ve had no issues with any of the photos in this package of film. I understand these cameras do this from time to time, but what are the odds, in all the photos we’ve taken with this thing, that THIS was the moment the space where the spirit was invited to stand came out totally black?

This is only part of the story, I’ll save the rest for the big video in October because he followed us around, communicated with us through the Estes Method and ultimately tried to keep us away from a frightening situation in solitary.

I believe this photo is real evidence that there was someone standing next to me. Skeptics will argue that point but they weren’t there.
