Wendy and I were pleasantly surprised at the changes that were made for the 2007 Season at Fort George.  With all of the changes, it will be interesting to see what happens on the Ghost Tours. 

There were a few small orbs captured with the digital still cameras in the Officer’s Quarters. 

EVPS (electronic voice phenomena)

Officer’s Quarters: 
The first 3 EVPs were recorded in the Officer’s Quarters. 

The first recording sounds like a male voice saying “Tom”.    Click here to listen

The next recording sounds like “Now you can”.    Click here to listen

The third recording was made while Wendy, Margaret and the Guide, Peter, were laughing and discussing the picture that hangs over a display case housing artifacts from the “Remains of a Day”.  (An archaeology dig was done in the early 1970s at the rear of the Officer’s Quarters and some of the artifacts are now on display.  Be sure to pick up your copy of the “Remains of a Day” book by Suzanne Plousos at the Friends of Fort George Gift Shop).  See photograph below

This recording sounds like a male voice shouting “Keep it down”.   Click here to listen

Powder Magazine: 
There were a few evps recorded at the Powder Magazine located at the rear of the fort.  One was not very clear, so I did not include it here.  Listening carefully to the male voice that sounds like it is saying “Jack, help me”.  Click here to listen

Friends of Fort George Gift Shop: 
The Gift Shop is located behind the Kitchens and beside the Artificer’s Shop.   I recorded 3 EVPs at this location.  One is not very clear and sounds like a conversation taking place while Wendy and I were discussing some books.  I did not include it here.  The one that I find interesting sounds like a male voice saying “Eat your meal Johnny” or the name could be “Charlie”. What do you think?

It is interesting because the Gift Shop is situated on the site of the kitchen for the British Army Hospital during the War of 1812. 

The last EVP is a little hard to hear but sounds to me like a male voice saying “Wednesday’s out.  When’s that happening?”
