RHA ACTIVITY BLOG - July 22, 2017

By Sharon Coyle   |  August 1, 2017

RHA ACTIVITY BLOG July 22, 2017 started off with a bang and got better and better as the evening progressed into morning! Early before doors opened, RHA Crew, Abe & Lindsay were taking care of something in the basement of the east wing (kitchen area) when she heard music playing and actually captured it in her recorder. She played it for Me and we all went in search of this- what sounded like a music box. We were drawn by the music into the Christmas room- and on the right is a small commode with Holiday items on it but no music box. However on closer inspection the music seemed to be coming from a decorative mug. I tipped it upside down and along with dust and yuckies a little Christmas pin fell out then I shook it again and a small white and silver button of sorts fell out (size of a quarter) when I touched it - it played- the same music!! I have no idea how long it had been in that cup but I can tell you I never heard it before! Then while on the tour-Lindsay saw a man in a suit standing in the doorway of Intake and Jay's group on tour heard a man say Thank You in the infirmary! Longtime visitors Mary Coolbaugh Magee and Jennifer Van Alstine-Wiehe and group were sitting in the Activities room in Shadow Hallwsy and a book on a table lifted up and slammed down right in front of them! Others say the ball roll out of one of the doors of the Activity room doors, spin around in the hallway and then re-enter the room via the other door! Later RHA Crew Jay & Drew went up to infirmary and were having an EVPs session with Cecil- they mentioned how maybe they should go get him a sledgehammer (so he could finish taking down one of the walls he left partially done) and Cecil replied "No, that's ok" (evp to be posted soon). I'd be remiss in if I didn't mention the incredible photo 14 yr old Jake Polo -by the way, on his very first ghost hunt with his Dad at Rolling Hills Asylum, was lucky enough to capture in Shadow Hallway . (see below). To me, it looks like it's probably Roy!Then around 3am as a bunch of us were leaving the volunteer office (the last four attendees - repeat visitors-Ladies from Canada were up in Admin) ALL of us heard a loud door slam in the infirmary (probably Cecil). Plus -audibly heard and EVPs of the screaming lady -and do much more! Just a typical night at Rolling Hills Asylum! When are you coming out for a hunt?
