The Hermitage Ruins

Last Friday night SOPS investigated one our most instense locations to date as a group so far. The Hermitage ruins late at night, which we were there between 10:15pmEST until 12:15amEST in total darkness. No full moons, no street light, just us and the darkness. Though the dark was the least of our worries, as the area gave off an energy that was simply draining mentally. From the minute we arrived on the ruin's grounds with beadie eye glaring at us from the tree outline around the ruins from deer looking on, the night was set in motion. Myself, I was drawn to the back North/East corner of what was left of the old Hermitage. I felt this energy also when i first scouted the location during the day a few weeks ago. My feelings paid off as in one picture I was able to capture what looks like a"ghost face" in the remaining window.



Copy this picture, insert it into a picture viewing program like Photoshop and zoom into the window area of the wall. You'll see the faint but very noticable "ghost face" looking through the window.

I'm have yet to go through the video footage taken from the night, as the camera was sitting in that corner for awhile as well. The group consisted of the core members, myself, Maria, Rob and Mike. Thanks to the Hamilton Conservation Authorities for giving us the ok to do the investigation. Also, our thoughts go out the family of Bruce Duncan who passed away that same day of a fatal car accident. For it was he who Maria was in email contact with for the investigation. This was yet another factor that led to the already draining evening. The end result is that I believe there is a great force at work there, and that the Hermitage and it's myths of two ghosts one of a women and the other of a coachman who hung himself are just a facepalte for something much larger.

I will be posting more pictures, audio files etc on this investigation once I have gone through them all. Also, stop by our official website now located at SOPS.
