The Squirrel Cage Jail Paranormal Investigation Part 2

The Squirrel Cage Jail was conducted on the evening of April 9th, 2011.  Paranormal Investigators of Nebraska and Siouxland Paranormal Research Society members arrived at the jail at approximately 7:40 p.m..  After a tour/walk-through we started setting up our equipment.  A few equipment issues prevented us from starting at a desired time, but those issues did not prevent us from having a good and interesting investigation.  Dave (S.P.R.S. founder and director), Amy, Mike, and I started our investigation around the segregation area around 10:40 p.m..  Dave was setting up his full spectrum camera in the area straight across from the segregation area.  During this time the camera picked up a distant and odd voice.  Below is the video section of that clip.

There were many interesting events through out the night.  The juvenile holding cell section has been claimed to be one of the hot spots for various levels of activity.  A very interesting series of events that we had in that region of the jail corroborates those claims.  We were in the juvenile holding cell section and within that section of the jail we had e.v.p. that seemed to add validity to a few personal experiences that took place there.  The video below contains those events.

If I was to rate the overall experience I got from Squirrel Cage Jail of Pottawatomie County, Iowa, it would be rated a 5 out of 5 stars.  It is our view that there really is something going on at the jail that is paranormal in nature.  The e.v.p. alone that we did catch from this place does appear to support that.  The friendly staff and interesting history of the jail made it a great visit for us.  We are hoping to revisit the jail in the near future.

The Squirrel Cage Jail (Council Bluffs, Iowa) Paranormal Investigation

On the morning of Tuesday, April 5th, at approximately 10:10 a.m. Investigator Craig and myself started our tour/walk through of the Squirrel Cage Jail.  Occupying the building during the tour at the jail was Craig, myself, and a staff member who was in the office.  The tour was of the main level and the upper floor.  We did not have access to the upper levels, above those 2 floors, until the night we would investigate the jail.  The tour was a very interesting one.  After the actual tour with staff we were allowed to walk freely on the floors we were shown.  We brought with us to the tour our digital cameras.  Making our way around and exploring the jail we took pictures and also shot some short video clips.  We both had 1 personal experience that was very interesting.  I was in a cell sitting where the toilet area used to be.  Craig was outside of the cell and was taking a picture of me in that cell.  I heard a voice come from within the cell, which really took me by surprise.  I then looked at Craig and he had a surprised look on his face and said "What the hell was that?"  From the place I was sitting the voice seemed to come from the top sleeping bunk, which was located to my right, in very close proximity to the right side of my head.  I asked Craig, who was standing just outside of the cell door, where he thought that noise came from.  He replied "It came from inside of the cell."  Unfortunately we did not have any video running at the time to catch this incident.  Within the short time we were there, approximately an hour and a half, we found some very interesting segments on the video from our digital cameras, one of which is on our website.  http://www.paranormalinvestigatorsofne.com/#/squirrel-cage-jail-1/4553831459
