Forest Park Cemetery

Nothing there, this cemetery is really peaceful actually, but its nice, and gorgeous statues everywhere.  I promise to go back and get better photos in the daytime, but I got a couple good ones.

Patience For Now

So, the Brewery Tap has not been investigated, there is just too much going on and not enough resources.  We are going to take this time to do lots of research and prepare ourselves for investigations starting at the beginning of the year.  In the mean time we are doing small investigations, also.  I will post up some pictures I recently took at the cemetery next to my company's new office building.  So, don't think we have disappeared or quit doing what we love, we simply need time to gather ourselves as a team.  Further updates will come your way and don't forget to email us at tgpinvestigations@hotmail.com and tell us of any haunted locations we should check out.

So Far...

Hi guys, this is Tori!  I know I haven't updated in a while so I will fill everyone in on what all is going on.
First things first, we went to Bailey's Prairie on the night of September 23rd, and we found nothing, just did a bunch of driving around.  However, it is my fault for not doing enough research, because Kawana did find out that Brit Bailey likes to show up only every 7 years.  More research to be done on this, so I will find when the last time he was reported being seen and see if we can try to find him again.  We did though stop at this grave yard in Manvel, it is down cemetery road.  I wanted to see cause I haven't been there since I was maybe 12 years old.  Makensie and I used to go there all the time.  Anyways, just so happens we all turned around and looked right at two head stones for Bailey's and that is all anyone remembers other than the freaky Jesus statue.  Maybe its a sign....
Now, I have updates on new locations.  We have been in contact with the GM of Spaghetti Warehouse in downtown Houston.  She is allowing us to come in with a crew and investigate both floors.  We are trying to set that date for October 30th, therefor we will technically be there on Halloween once it passes midnight, yay!  When we definitely have a date set, I will let you guys know.  Also, Johnny spoke with the owner of the Brewery Tap in downtown Houston.  He was very nice and said we came do an investigation anytime we like, so we will be doing that one soon.  The original owner, William, was killed during prohibition and likes to hang around there.  He is very friendly so yay.  Oh, and here is a picture of what I am talking about, just in case you never heard of the brewery tap.

I guess we will see what we can catch...  Until then, I am putting up photos that are our best evidence so far:

I did a bad job trying to trace this guy, but if you look at the original, you can see it fine.

Here is another from West Oaks.

I kept getting told that everyone could see this guy in this one, and two weeks later I finally noticed him, staring right at me.  He even has a shadow, scary.

This one was taken in Alief cemetery:

You can see a kid, and we thought it may be a headstone, but you can see the split between its legs and it is completely transparent, also on other pics, nothing is in that same spot.  Johnny said there is something in front of this headstone too, but I don't see it, so if someone would like to point it out, by all means.

That is all we have so far, nothing caught on EVP and the video needs further analyzing.  I don't think there is anything on the video but just in case we will look again.  Maybe I will make a montage.  Until next post, I will leave you with some Brewery Tap and Bailey's Prairie info links.

Friday Night Haunts

Last night we went on a long adventure, actually checking out 5 different paranormal spots.  Well, mostly legends, and found one to be non-existent.  Let me give you the breakdown:

We started our night off on Patterson road.  This is a set of two bridges on Patterson Rd, which is located between Eldridge and Hwy 6 in Katy.  It is said that if you sit in the center of the bridge and turn your car off, you can hear soldiers marching.  Well, you'll never guess what we found.  I would say there were about 20 drunk teenagers, littering all over the place and nearly falling on their faces in front of our car.  Therefor we didn't even stop.  We actually decided that we would visit this location at another time, most likely a Monday or Tuesday night.  I suppose we at least know the spot exists, and how to get there.  I will say this, though, it is one creepy place.

Our second stop was on Old Greenhouse Rd in Katy.  The story with this one is pretty typical.  When you come up on the bridge, there is a very sharp curve, and the speed limit is 15 mph.  However, there are jackass drunk people that like to fly around this curve at 50mph and almost flip their own car, not including almost hitting your car.  Now, the instructions for this haunt say to drive slowly onto the bridge with your headlights off.  This is one of those things we are going to do on a Monday or Tuesday, and nowhere near a holiday.  It is a dangerous bridge and very narrow, and you should keep your brights on when crossing it.    Anyways, I am getting off the subject once again.  Drive across the bridge with your headlights off and an old woman will form.  She apparently died there in a car wreck.  Next week I will check that one out once again.

Next, we were looking for Patterson Street, where there is said to be a black shadow figure that runs next to your car and you see hand prints appear on your windows.  This was nothing more than a big business park.  Also, a complete waste of time.  

We were going to head home after this and we just decided, since the other two spots were one the way back, that we could make quick stops there.  We were successful in the West Oaks walker case and I wanted to see if we could catch anything else, this time around 3 am.  Well, two fully charged batteries in our camera got drained like it was nothing, and both times, he left us with exactly 3 minutes of recording time.  I recorded some EVPs and we are going to review them a second time to see if we have anything, but it sounds like nothing is there honestly.  Here are some photos from this visit.

After this, we were headed home, on Beechnut, but Kawana and Johnny had been wanting to stop at Alief cemetery, so I suggested we go ahead and make the stop while we were in the vicinity. It was quiet, but its really the apartments that are supposed to be haunted because most of the cemetery is gone now, due to them building these apartments on top of it.  If you aren't from Houston, or just don't know of the Alief cemetery, it is located at Dairy Ashford and Bellaire.  Bad photos that I have, but here they are.

Alief's headstone

So that is our adventure from last night.  Let us know if there is anything paranormal that you guys see in the pictures, and we will review our video footage and voice recorder to see if we have caught anything.  From first view, I really don't think we have anything.  Until next time, happy hauntings!

Fund Raising

So, ghost hunting is expensive, and we need more equipment than what we have.  As of right now, every paycheck I am able to get a piece of equipment, however we have figured out a way, that we hope our followers would like, to make money for our adventures.  We are selling bracelets at $2 a piece, just get in contact with me to buy them.  Right now, I have 4 different ones, but if you have a request, by all means let me know.  Also, if you have any ideas you would like to share with us, to help us raise money, please leave us a post.  Remember, you can also contact us at tgpinvestigations@hotmail.com or on our  facebook page.

Coming Soon

Hello everyone, this is Tori.  So great news... we are getting more equipment this week, this will help us get better evidence and creep you out even more.  Also, one of our team members, Johnny, has gotten in touch with the GM of Spaghetti Warehouse, which is said to be haunted.  There is lots of recorded activity there, so much that they have shut off the top floor from customers.  They even have ghost tours every now and then.  Anyways, we are planning a full on investigation, going in with a full team, taking EVP, pictures, and videos.  Hopefully we can get you guys some cool stuff to view.  I will post an update when we have this investigation planned out fully, but until then I will leave you with some research on that, at the bottom of this post.
Lastly, we will have an investigation coming up this weekend.  It most likely wont be Spaghetti Warehouse, but we are looking into a set of apartments that they built on a cemetery and also reports of a few deaths there.  It is right on Alief cemetery, they tenants report most activity happening in their kitchens, so that should be fun.  Also, the house at the corner of Beechnut and Gessner..... we'll get in there somehow.
Until next time, here is your treats:

The West Oaks Walker

Saturday morning we had our first investigation, attempting to contact and capture the West Oaks Walker.  According to our research, he is a soldier of some type that appears at this one spot every morning.  Since Saturdays were listed under his most active, and it was a full moon, we chose to try to capture him.  We have many photos, only one with a slight piece of evidence in it and well, the others I will put up anyways. One of you wonderful followers may see something and by all means let us know if you do.  Also, just in case you are curious, I will add links to other sites that discuss the West Oaks Walker.
