Key Discussion Points & Insights
Introduction to the Investigation
- Dreama, substituting for usual lead Andy, shares her background:
- Started with personal childhood experiences in a haunted house
- Joined Atlanta Ghost Hunters after an initial investigation at the "Dixon House" ([01:29])
Historic Law Office Hauntings
- The investigation site: a historic Marietta law office, described as "really old" ([03:33])
- The office owners reported several strange occurrences:
- Repeated unexplained footsteps and doors opening/closing
- A tombstone found in the backyard—mistakenly used as a trash can slab for 30 years ([03:50]-[04:19])
- Objects (specifically, a globe) being thrown across rooms with no one present ([04:22])
Dreama: "When they contacted us, they told us that they had found a tombstone in the backyard... and they were putting their trash can on it because they thought it was a concrete slab." ([03:50])
The Evidence: Four EVP Audio Clips
1. EVP Clip 1: "Help" ([06:09])
- Recorded in the law office library while testing door locks
- The word "Help" was captured, not audible in real time
Dreama: "That was pretty clear cut." ([06:14])
Bert (Host): "That's clear as that." ([06:27])
2. EVP Clip 2: "Want to go with me?" ([07:51])
- Captured with a recorder left in the globe-throwing room; no human voices present before or after for 30+ minutes
- Some listeners heard the phrase as "devil voice" or with a possible accent
- Not altered, but trimmed for length
Dreama: "It kind of actually sounds to me like it has an accent of some sort." ([08:08])
3. EVP Clip 3: "Should I give it to you?" / "What is that?" ([11:04], [11:41])
- Captured during a discussion about a psychic visitor
- Dreama reports hearing this one in real time as well as on the recording:
Dreama: "It's really, really faint... but I actually heard it in the room." ([11:14], [11:41])
Bert: "What is that? I heard that ghost say, 'what is that.' It was clear as day to me." ([11:04])
4. EVP Clip 4: "We're not dead at all" ([13:07])
- Captured while team discussed a previous haunted location (Dixon House)
- No one in the vicinity; open to interpretation but most hear "we're not dead at all"
Dreama: "I think it says we’re not dead at all, or we're who said it all. ... I say dead." ([13:10], [13:39])
- Show connection to previous cases where ghosts seemed unaware of their death ([13:39]-[13:54]):
Bert: "Andy has told us before that some spirits don’t know they’re dead."
Memorable Quotes & Moments
Notable Listener Question
- Caller Karen ([09:14]): Asks about ghost-hunting gear (EMF detectors and audio recorders).
- Dreama prefers digital audio recorders—simple, available, and more likely to yield compelling unexplained voices than EMF meters.
"There's always something you can figure out with the magnetic fields... but [EVPs] you can’t explain." — Dreama ([09:31])
Humor & Pop Culture References
- Playful banter about ghosts, accidentally disrespecting the dead, and horror movies
- Spoiling movie endings for comedic effect ([14:00])
