SIGHT Takes a Look at the Barber Barns

SIGHT is a paranormal investigation team that serves the community by studying, investigating and understanding both the paranormal world as well as people who are affected by it.  They use traditional ghost hunting tools as well as assistance from psychics.  Led by director Chris Reed, SIGHT held their monthly Mystery Night in the barns Saturday.

Lead psychic investigator, Laura Lyn is a psychic medium.  She has a long list of achievements that make the non-believer reconsider.

Laura Lyn told investigators in the Heating House that she sensed the spirits of at least three children.  In Steve Kelleher’s Ghosts of the Magic City, he tells his own story of doors slamming shut and statues becoming animate.  Since his first story, several pictures have been taken in the barn that show mysterious faces, often in groups of three.  Several investigators ascended the steps to the third story, only to feel pushed as if something or someone did not want them there. 

One investigator’s car would barely start in the parking lot. 
One of our own volunteers was handing out maps to investigators when he heard “Psssst.”  Another team psychic went to the area where the noise came from and said that there were two children, a girl and a boy.  The little boy wanted our volunteer’s attention.  He got it!  The same volunteer heard a shuffling noise a little later and asked if anyone else heard it.  Laura Lyn was coming in, and though she hadn’t heard it, she went straight to the area it came from to

 investigate.  Later, most of the investigators left, we heard distinct footsteps on the concrete floor.  We scoured the building making sure no one had wondered in, but we were alone.

Near the Feed Barn, Laura Lyn stopped and said “There was a horrible death here.”  On our haunted barn tours, Steve Kelleher tells the story of Nellie, a woman who hanged herself and was not found for two weeks.  The building where Nellie hung is long gone, although the foundation is still behind the Feed Barn.  Laura Lyn knew right where the tragedy happened.
