Kent Stage Theater

March 2009

 March's location was the Kent Stage Theater located on 175 E. Main Street in Kent, Ohio. We had a great turnout of 42 people anxious to find the things that go bump in the dark. And find them we did! Several people reported experiences from feeling dense energy to actual physical contact. 

 

Upon first arriving, Richele Charlton, one of the owners gave us the history and background of the theater as well as filled us in on some of her experiences with the ghosts of the theater. One of the well known ghosts, is Woody, who had been the janitor at the theater.

 

 Team Specter lead us in table tipping. Table tipping is a way of communicating with ghosts by inviting them to use the energy of those sitting around a table to move that table in answer to questions. Those participating lightly place their fingertips on the table and focus their energy on the table. Joe from Team Specter quietly encourages any present to try to move the table. Once he starts to get a response he continues to ask questions. While I was witnessing the first session, an 8 yr old boy named Don was communicating through the table. I could see the table shaking. And just in case you might wonder, the table we were using was a solid chunk of wood in the shape of a pedestal. This table probably weighted 20 pounds if not more. 

Don wanted to go to the light and with Laura from SIGHT directing him, he went. His brother was waiting there for him on the other side. 

The room this was held in was in the basement under the stage. I called this the creepy room because everyone entering reported a feeling of uneasiness, of not being welcome there. We were told by the owners that a man assumed to be homeless had been found dead in that room. (By the way, the homeless man refused to communicate with us.) The room was extremely cold and grew colder during the session. After Don had crossed into the light, I noticed that the room had grown much, much warmer. Witnessing a ghost cross over can be a very emotional experience for those participating.

Joe held another table tipping session that I wasn't present for and I regret it. They communicated with a ghost named Josephine who did want to go into the light but was being held here by her boyfriend, Daniel. Joe helped Josephine to the light. Josephine had been getting the table moving very strongly, but this was nothing compared to what Daniel did. Daniel was very angry that Josephine crossed over. Daniel had that heavy table levitating off the floor! Needless to say, Daniel did not want to go the light.

Earlier, upstairs in the theater, a group was talking to another young boy ghost also named Daniel. Laura helped this little boy to the light, also.

The basement under the theater contains several tunnels that are part of an underground tunnel system that runs through Kent. The tunnels are blocked off and most of the area is used for storage. Owner Tom Simpson gave us access to the tunnels.  The energy there was very dense. I heard that someone captured a shadow with their video camera.
