Mine Au Breton Historical Society Properties - Investigation of July 12, 2008 - 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.

In attendance were Greg, Sandy, Matt, Jim, Jeff, Sarah and Janet of MISSOURI PARANORMAL
RESEARCH/PARANORMAL TASK FORCE along with Samantha of Parkland Paranormal; Jerry the
president of the Mine Au Breton Historical Society with other members and guest Keith McQueen
and Gene Carroll.





Very detailed histories of all properties can be found online at: HERE



Long-Banta House - People have experienced unexplainable noises within this historic home on
several occasions which include noises similar to those of books or large objects being dropped
upon the floor.  People have also experience seeing the figures of a female and children in the
windows from the outside when passing by.  Several members of the Long family have physically
passed away inside this home and are buried in the nearby cemetery.

Austin-Milam-Lucas Store - People on the outside have observed a shadow figure passing by an
upstairs window on the inside.  Other past reports have included odd odors as well as
unexplainable electrical problems such as lights and other appliances turning on and off on their
own when this was once an apartment building.  Rumors of a past suicide were reported.  We were
able to confirm through research that local banker, Frank J. Flynn, committed suicide at this
location on January 17, 1932 by shooting himself in the heart with a .38 caliber revolver.

Old Presbyterian Church-Museum - There have been no reports of unexplainable activity from this
location.



For this investigation various video recorders with and without infra red extenders and night shot
capabilities were used.  Various digital still cameras, EMF meters, voice recorders, IR  
Thermometers and radiation detectors were also utilized throughout the investigation.  Also
experimentation was done with Ultra Violet light in conjunction with a night shot camera.




Those in attendance met at approximately 6 p.m. at the Haunted Sweet Memories Sandwich & Ice
Cream Shop for a wonderful dinner provided by Cindy the owner.  After dinner some of the
attendees were given a tour of all properties to identify and determine any logistical and safety
hazards, equipment placement, investigative strategy and other data.  The team was divided into
sub-teams with each one focusing on a specific property being investigated through the night.  The
nearby Masonic, City and Presbyterian cemeteries were also mildly investigated during building
lock downs, etc.  The investigation ended at approximately 12:00 a.m. and all attendees returned
home.




Various odd and unexplainable experiences of investigators and attendees included:

1. Investigators and others in the Long Banta Home witnessed an odd grunting type sound.

2. Investigators and others in the Long Banta Home witnessed unexplainable movement of
decorative electric candles in a second floor bedroom during an interactive investigative session.

3. Unexplainable spiking of an investigators K2 EMF meter occurred in a bedroom closet on the
second floor several times over a lengthy duration.






Several hours of audio and video were collected as well as many digital and film photographs.
