Set against a backdrop of dark sky and lightning flashes, the Sigma Nu fraternity house on the Kansas University campus looked ominous early Sunday morning.
The wood floors inside creaked and groaned with the slightest shift in weight.
For the second time in as many years, members of Elite Paranormal of Kansas City searched the house’s various levels for the best place to set up their investigation.
At this time last year, the team was making its first rounds through the building, searching for clues as to why the house was rumored to be haunted.
This weekend, they wanted to search for more evidence that could be researched and possibly verified.
So about midnight Saturday, 12 people sat around a wooden table in Room 201, the same room the team had conducted its main investigation in a year earlier. After cutting the lights, the 12 members sat in near silence — speaking only in hushed tones and whispers — listening to what an untrained ear might perceive as static.
But to the trained ear, the static holds clues — and possibly conversations with those on the other side.

Studying poltergeists may leave you with a mischievous, ghostly roommate.
After researching unruly spirits for his online book, Testament, about people haunted by real life ghosts, former Hollywood publicist Mark Russell Bell found himself the target of supernatural stalking.
He took a trip to Oklahoma to interview a family that had an especially troublesome spirit causing a ruckus in their home, and soon after he began witnessing strange occurrences like objects materializing out of nowhere and hearing phantom voices.
Upon returning to his Los Angeles home, Bell started experiencing even more creepy happenings, which lead to him delving deeper into the subject of hauntings.

COUNCIL staff are refusing to work after dark — because they fear their building is haunted by GHOSTS.
Terrified day centre staff say unplugged printers have started printing, computer keyboards have been suddenly overturned and furniture has been mysteriously moved.
The workers even noticed the smell of BLUEBELLS drifting through rooms as objects fly off walls.
Council bosses running the Wintern Day Centre in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, today announced they will investigate the spooky goings on.
Staff at the seaside town centre believe their building is haunted by the spirits of two maids who used to live in the attic — and hanged themselves after both fell pregnant.
The tragedy is said to have happened when bluebells bloomed, and the building now smells eerily of the flowers.
One worker said: “It’s quite true, it’s a very scary situation – staff are not willing to work there at night at all.

Opening in 1904, Norwich State Hospital expanded over 100 acres, catering to ninety-five patients. As the years progressed, the number of patients in this asylum grew calling for building expansions; an administration building, three patient buildings, three cottages for physicians, a carpenter and maintenance shop, a main kitchen, garage, laboratory, staff house, an employees’ club house and the inebriate farm and the Colony had been established by 1913.
The need for space continued to grow with the additions of fifteen new buildings. By 1930, patient numbers reached to over 2,000. Tubercular patients were housed between 1931 and 1939 in one patient building called Seymour which led to the closure of the “Pines” buildings. More additions were built. However, during World War II, the nursing staff dwindled. While new buildings were being constructed, old ones met their demise. It’s population peaked in 1950 at 3,000 and was considered a working town.
The hospital was used for housing and treating not only the mentally insane, but also geriatric patients and those chemically dependent. Treatments ranged from heavy medication and lobotomies to mechanical restraints and “hydrotherapy”. The hospital officially closed in 1996.
Today, a large number of gothic-style architectural brick buildings snakes around nine hundred acres of Connecticut woods, most connected by underground tunnels that also house rooms along their paths. Norwich State Hospital’s fate is unsure as there have been talks of amusement parks or museums. However, none disrupt the stories of its haunted status.
