Please bring any equipment you may have. Cameras, Audio Recorders, EMF Meters, etc. This a working investigation in an attempt to capture reported activity. We ask that if you choose to bring a ghost box or ghost app that you use headphones so as not to contaminate all of the recordings.
How does this investigation work?
Once you arrive at the Old Idaho Pen you will be introduced to the Big River Paranormal team. They will go over the rules with you and then you will break down into teams of 10-12 people each. We have 5-7 buildings to get through during the 4 hour investigation so the teams will rotate to the next building about every 30-45 minutes.
While in each building please keep in mind that you are all working as a team, so please stay with your team and be respectful.
Remember, ghosts, spirits, and the like do not perform on command. It is possible that we will have activity and it is possible that we may not. However, you never know for sure until all of the evidence from the night has been gone through. Many investigators will tell you that they did not think anything had occurred only to discover during the evidence review that an EVP with their name being whispered was captured at a location.
You may want to dress appropriately for the weather. This is Idaho and it changes from minute to minute.
