Built back in 1892, it was once a trading post for Indians and had a bone yard in back so Indians could trade bones in exchange for supplies. Then the bones would be shipped to the east coast and used for fertilizer and such.  There have been numerous business's there since the building has been built. It was declared a historical building in the 1980's. There was a fire at the building in the 1930's. It sets directly next to the BNSF railroad and is in the historical district . No research has been found to date as to anything that may have happened in the past and appears to have no history of events that would cause it to be haunted. The land at one time did belong to the Indians and the area was known to harbor many an outlaw hiding out, including Frank and Jesse James.

We began our first investigation at 7:00 pm. This building has three levels so we decided to start in the basement area and work our way up. We immediately felt uncomfortable in the basement. Our sensitives were picking up an entity believed to be Daniel or Danielle. They also felt a smothering sensation like not being able to breathe because of smoke in a fire. This was before we knew a fire had occurred at the building at one time. They also picked up a presence of an older man who seemed very irritated that we were there. Then we moved to the main level. We picked up feelings of being watched and a few pictures that at the time seemed odd. We then went upstairs in what we call the attic, and some members felt a peaceful feeling while others felt a feeling of uneasiness. We got many pictures of orbs and one member got a great picture of a mist in the attic. We got several evps, but did not know that till later when listening to the recorders. The evps prompted us to go back again. 

On a return visit  January 2, 2006, we decided to only have female team members go. This was to rule out that the evps we had gotten the first time may have come from our own team members. There were no males and no children. We picked up several evps that evening that were definitely male and several that sounded like a small child. One evp did not sound friendly so we decided to go back another time and see if we could get it again with male members of the team along. On the third trip, we heard what sounded like a males voice in the basement. We had set up recording video in hopes of catching something. We got video of what looks like an orb coming out of the wall and going back in.  Several of the team members got touched again. On this evening after going up to the attic, we got pictures of what has been told to us by those who analyze photos of a black mist. It was pretty awesome and even though at the time the team members could not see it, they were reacting to it. One felt sick and another felt something close to her and it was moving.  One team member got some video of something behind him. Two team members went back at a later time and stayed all night in the attic. They got video of what they believe is an entity responding to them while playing with a candle. The last time some of the team members went, we all just went directly to the attic since that seems where the most activity is, and concentrated on video, cameras and audio recorders. No one seemed to get any evidence that evening, although several team members reported being touched. At this time we do not plan to go back. This place gave us a lot of firsts for our team.

There were times when members were being touched and tugged at by entities. There were objects  that seem to move on their own, and in response to researchers questions. Researchers experienced strong feelings of entities in our presence and also encountered smells that were believed to be paranormal in nature. Experiments were done that proved to be exhilarating and a couple of pictures that have been proven to be unexplainable. A chair in a back room that would cause the body to tingle when it was sat in. Several team members experienced this phenomena.  EVP's of at least 4 different entities. Make sure and listen to them on our EVP page. Areas where the temps would change suddenly. One night there was a small area about  6ft. by 6 ft. and on one side it was extremely cold, and on the other side it was so warm members were removing their jackets.

This building proved to supply the TRIPP team with many personal experiences not likely to be forgotten. There were evps that were very clear and a few pictures that are unexplainable. in our honest opinion, this building is definitely haunted.

TRIPP EVP COLLECTION

Child Calling For Mama On seconds 00:06 - 00:12 you can hear 2 voices, one saying what sounds like 4 words very slowly then right after a small child saying "Mama". You can hear banging as well which is not heard at all in person.	We Can't Help It On seconds 25-26 you can hear what sounds like a male saying "We can't help it." which appears to be a response to one of the investigators mentioning it was cold in that area. (Also you can hear one of the investigators say they feel something touching their leg!)
Young Response On seconds 00:06 - 00:07 you can hear a young voice respond to an investigator asking if they would like to speak to us.	Unknown Male Speaking On seconds 00:01 - 00:04 you can hear a male voice speaking what seems to be "I'm not going to show up in a picture." then a few more words that we cannot make out.  This was on a night where there were no males investigating.
