The Ransom Farm

We approached the Ransom Farm roughly around 11pm. Just driving past this place is enough for most people to not look twice. Ill explain in my prologue as to why later. However we worked our way across a field pretty dark near some woods a lot of weeds, prickly bushes probably 5 feet in height. As we were walking we got about a few hundred feet and we could see the barn way off in the distance. Funny enough we encountered a stream and pond blocking our path. So I worked my way back up to the road and back around Mark fell down into the shallow creek area so I know he got a little wet there lol. We walked back around the creek and into another field again and I noticed an area where the grass was missing and a lump of something to me it looked like a body I did not have my light taken out then I looked more carefully and Noticed That I almost stepped on a dead deer and a pretty large one. We worked our way up the hill and checked out the area we noticed an outhouse, barn, garage, the house and a shed on the property. By this time we were so soaked our feet, clothes because of the little sprinkles and wet brush we had to trudge through. Upon approaching I heard a screech it sounded more like an animal screaming in the barn like maybe a pig however the Barn has no animals so could this be the spirit of an animal?

We then walked around to the front of the house and were on the porch a man looked at us across the street probably thought we were ghost. Then to our lefts a bat swooped by and kept running into the door that alone was pretty intense when you lease expect that to happen. We went out away from the house and went into the barn it was pretty much used for cows since there were the pipes, water troughs and it was fairly clean unlike most barns you see. We did take a few photos the activity here was real minor we were hoping to see some animal spirits more then anything. We walked around checked out the cow milking logs, seen an old 1989 calendar wow those were the days:) then we decided to head upstairs. There were 2 ladders to climb up one of them I took a wooden bar to a hatch and a bunch of hay came down on top of me and trust me I had hay everywhere Mark took a photo and there was 100s of speckles everywhere. We then Decided to use the other hatch which Jason went up and checked out then we followed. Upon me going up second as soon as I got up I stood up and there was bats swooping down at me and birds flapping away Jason dropped to the floor and so did I it was pretty fun regardless. Then Mark came up and we checked the upstairs out. It was really cozy a very nice loft with a basketball hoop and just some hay sprinkled on the floor. We did notice a confused sparrow I believe it was flying all over like crazy. When we were walking  I was looking at something and turned around and that bird crapped in Marks mouth all I could see him is spitting and telling us he would never eat again lol Jason asked him if it tasted like chicken haha. That was the only activity we experienced here as we started to climb back down and as I was climbing I got stabbed with a tiny piece of glass and I was like Mark pick it out lol because both my hands were like hanging from the loft lol. So then finally we all made it back down and left the barn. We had enough fun inside there for the night.

We then headed to the house the foreboding house rather. When we entered there was some glass we had to be careful not to get cut on so I did move it believe me away near a shed before we entered into the house. I am not sure the spirits liked that very much but we all entered into the house we made sure we took alot of photos inside so we could show you how old it is. As we left from the kitchen into the dining room eventually to the living room. I did not feel alone in this house for one I felt watched by an unseen force and I knew we were not alone. Not much showed up on the digital here but regardless it was obvious something was near by. When Jason got to the old steep wooden staircase to the basement the EMF went on red instantly like something shot past us and I did get some cold air and felt it. Then moments later it was reading yellow which means caution which means something was most likely near by. We went into the basement Jason, Myself Second and then Mark right away we turned around and seen jars what was in them I do not know one of the jars looked like eyeballs of some kind pretty disgusting either way. Right away I went over to take a photo of an old wooden keg and desk Mark and Jason went to the other corner to take photos as well then I told them lets head back upstairs. When I came to the basement stairs the hatch was closed. Something was trying to keep us in that basement. The hatch to the basement is on a hinge and yes its wood and heavy. We did not close the hatch when we entered the basement of course there is no reason to since we are investigating the whole house. But the wooden hatch was closed and there was no slamming but rather the ghost that most likely did this was either trying to scare us or perhaps like I said keep us there. I told the guys and when Mark was speaking I heard a mans voice near a basement window I cannot say if it came from that window or upstairs but it sounded like GET OUT. Jason slowly pushed open the hatch and we went back upstairs at this point we got another yellow EMF reading. 

We worked our way upstairs kind of foreboding since old chairs, lamps and such still are inside. I just put in new batteries and in a matter of 5-6 photos the batteries were completely drained. We did take a few photos the staircase was very steep and sort of  was L shaped. We then worked out way out of the house and back outside. I did notice that when I was alone outside waiting for the guys the area I put the glass at I heard it banging hard off in the distance I found that sort of startling that a ghost would fight over over broken glass but I told the guys I heard it as well and of course at this point I knew we probably were not welcomed here that is just my feeling. I believe in theory that the spirits are living in this house and spending there afterlife here. We did go around the outside took some perimeter shots and then headed home by this time we were drenched and pretty much had the proof we needed here. 

This house is very haunted at least that is what we gathered from the house but the bang we heard near the barn, the shuffling of the glass which I put somewhere, the voice, EMF readings, and hatch being closed on us inside the house made it all the more interesting. This house was a one time investigation so if you did not come along then you most likely missed one of the best we have had in the last few weeks as well as one of the most intense. 
Peace Rick

Subj: [ParanormalBuffalo] Last nights report  
Date: 7/11/2003 10:53:47 AM Eastern Daylight Time 
From: gally99347@yahoo.com 
To: ParanormalBuffalo@yahoogroups.com 

We arrived around 11pm to the Barn which we had to walked through the 
wet and soaked field. Since we couldn't get through the thicket 
field, we started to walked up the road and i slipped on a small 
creak. Finally, when we arrive to the barn, Rick heard like a 
screeching sound at the barn and started to get a little nervous. When 
we entered the barn, it was kind of dirty but clean. We started to look 
around for the top and found a ladder up and the next thing a pile of 
hay fell all over him. (Reminder of the Central train station) We 
arrive at the top of the barn, the whole floor is filled with hay. 
There were a basketball net at one side of the barn. When Jason 
started to look up with his flashlight, one of the birds starts to 
fly like crazy and the next thing, it shitted right in my mouth. Rick 
and Jason started to laugh when he said "Taste like chicken huh?" I 
just wanted to kill him for saying that. After all, it tasted no 
where like chicken!!!

Finally, we went to the house and trying to get rid of the taste in 
my mouth. We entered the house and starting to take a couple of 
pictures. When we went to the basement, the hatch just closed on us 
(not slamming) but gently without making a sound. That kinds creeps 
me out but at the same time, it was prove that I believe actually 
came true. So It was a huge wake up call. We took a couple of 
pictures and just left.

As you miss a huge investigation, i suggest to come and join us even 
for one night. It won't kill you but at least a experience of a 
lifetime.
