The big day finally arrived!
We descended upon the Howard County Historical Society Museum in Ellicott City to perform a paranormal investigation for
Robby’s 16th birthday party!
Robby and his friends wore “Ellicott City Ghostly Happenings” T-shirts that I designed for the party.
Do you recognize the Goblin from the Ellicott Family Cemetery?
I love that Crabby Guy!
The Ghost Hunter Participants
Besides Robby and his four friends, we had two guest Ghost Hunters. The Director of the Museum, Shawn Gladden, brought his sons and they were amazing! All of the Ghost Hunters performed their tasks so expertly that I was blow away.
Investigating the Basement
Checking for EMF Readings
Using the Laser Grid
We were allowed to investigate the basement of the museum and what a find! The basement was a hot-spot for Spirits and the EMF meter was particularly active around an old stove. Perhaps one of the Spirits used to be a chef or maybe a cook?

We got a total of eight Orbs in the basement!
But we also got something else:
A Skeleton Face!
Ordinarily, Robby and I would have returned to see if the apparition could be explained, but since we couldn’t this time, we’ll have to leave this Spirit as a mystery. We did get EMF spikes in the area of the basement where this Spooky Spirit appeared in the photo.

And then there was the upstairs investigation…
Performing a Voice Recording Session in the Main Hall
…where we captured a Shadow Figure!
I reviewed the photos and I checked with everyone to see if the figure was one of the others, or if they recognized the figure, but as we zoomed in, we realized that there wasn’t a body!
Shadow Figure
We were doing a voice recording session at the time and we thought we heard the word, “South”
and the figure appears to have a hat, so perhaps this was a
Civil War soldier.
He was also standing near the gun case.
During the entire investigation, the Ghost Radar was talking up a storm.
We got words like:
Friendly, John, Circus, Ann, Lost, Golden, Join, Handsome, Gray, German, Explanation, Bridge, Cave, Believed, Dug
This was a much longer investigation than usual so I will feature the photos, instead of writing a story from the Ghost Radar.

I believe that the Paranormal Investigation Birthday Party was a huge success and I am extremely grateful to the Howard County Historical Society Museum and Shawn Gladden, Karen Griffith and Mary Schwanz for allowing us to have the privilege of communing with the Spirits of the Museum. I believe that the Museum is haunted and that the Spirits may be attached to some of the objects in the Museum.
On our way out, we captured many Orbs near the haunted Ellicott City Courthouse, which is next to the Museum…

And of course we had cake for the Birthday Boy!
Happy Birthday Robby!
And finally, this was obviously a blurred photo, but it looks like a Spirit so I thought it was a fitting end to a Paranormal Party or…
The Spirit of the Howard County Historical Society Museum
…was it just a blur????
