LINESVILLE — After

several ghost investigations

in northern

Ashtabula County for

our Hauntings of

Ashtabula County section

(which ran in the

Jan. 28 editions), with

less than convincing results,

I was glad to get

to the Knickerbocker

Hotel in Linesville – a

place that has confirmed

paranormal activity

in all parts of the

building.

Little did I know

that I was walking into

the building on the anniversary

of the death

of a former resident of

the building.

People had reported

some odd sounds and

occurrences earlier in

the day, and so did the

seven of us who headed

into the basement for a

90-minute, webcambroadcast

investigation

last Thursday night.

We did hear lots of

little noises, but 90 percent

of them can be explained

as little pops

LINESVILLE — The

ghosts are local. But

people looking to see or

hear are doing so from

just about any corner of

the world that has

internet access.

The Knickerbocker

Hotel in Linesville is

home to the latest wave

spreading around the

world – armchair ghost

hunting.

Unlike the paranormal

shows on television,

ghost hunters don’t have

to pack up and drive to a

haunted location. Instead

they log on, sign in

and watch from the comfort

of their living room

or anywhere that has

internet access.

Each week, local ghost

hunters get together

face-to-face to talk about

ongoing investigations,

and share their paranormal

experiences.

Some nights, like last

Thursday, the group did

some investigation work

in the building’s basement.

Pat Knickerbocker, coowner

of the building,

said people had reported

seeing a shadowy figure

on the webcam, and the

family dog was reacting

to something in the area

during the day Thursday.

February 4 was the

anniversary of the death

of Clara Arnold, one of

the former residents of

the home. She died in

1885.

For more than 90 minutes,

seven local ghosthunters

and more online,

watched, listened and

waited for sights or

sounds of paranormal activity.

“We heard some footsteps

overhead, and

some moans or sobs,”

Knickerbocker said.

Some of the sounds

heard during the 90 minutes

can be explained by

water pipes or the furnace

or the home settling,

she said.

But others like the

sobs have no earthly explanation.

“They were very clear.

It was someone sobbing,

paranormal

weekend

Keeping up with ghosts online

Something wanted me to know it was there

or moaning,”

Knickerbocker said.

The Knickerbocker

Hotel may be familiar to

fans of such shows as

Paranormal State, or

other ghost hunting television

programs.

The building was featured

on Paranormal

State in early 2008, and

the investigators on the

show say they want to

come back again.

In fact, one told

Knickerbocker that they

feel “drawn” back to the

place.

Another group returning

to the hotel is the

Western New York Ghost

Hunters. They’ll return

in May, during a special

paranormal seminar, to

show the results of their

investigation late last

year in the hotel.

Also on hand for that

paranormal seminar will

be Tim Brainard, from

Ashtabula County’s

Wellness and Total

Learning Center.

The Knickerbocker

Hotel was built 130 years

ago, and for most of that

time has been a place for

weary travelers to prop

their feet up, or spend

the night. It also served

as a bar and restaurant

for the community, but

mainly as a hotel.

But no one meant for

the stay to be permanent.

“We have some people

who checked in, but

never checked out,”

Knick said, laughing.

The Knickerbockers

bought the property a

few years ago, and intended

to refurbish it.

But strange things

started happening almost

immediately.

Knickerbocker said

they’ve seen ghostly apparitions

in the home, as

well as shadowy figures,

strange lights, and heard

all sorts of odd sounds.

T h e

knickerbockerlinesville.com

website has dozens of

video and audio recordings,

as well as photos

showing a variety of

paranormal events.

One photo, captured

by a viewer of a webcam

shows a cat laying on a

noise of what

sounded to be someone

playing

marbles or rolling

a coin or other

object across the

floor.

Then there were the

temperature changes.

I kept a digital thermometer

pointed at different

areas of the room

around us.

The bodies in the room

were all registering 63 to

67 degrees, while the dirt

floor and air were 55 to

57 degrees.

As I was pointing the

thermometer at an area

to the right of a man in

front of me, the temperature

shot up from 57 to 63

degrees, then reached as

high as 65 before steadying

out at about 64.5.

About that time, Clara

Hyder, a clairvoyant from

Mentor Headlands, told

us that Henry (a ghostly

child) was standing next

to the man in front of me.

Wow, the temperature

changed just seconds before

she said that.

After four or five minutes,

the temperature

went down to 57 again.

and

creaks that

old houses make, or

the pipes that run

through them.

What can’t be explained

easily is the

sound of footsteps walking

or tapping above our

heads. Only one person

and a dog were on the

main floor, on the other

side of the room above us,

so there was no way they

made the noise.

And when they did

make the noises, they

sounded hollow and distant

since they weren’t

right above our heads.

The spookiest sound,

which we heard at least

three times, was an audible

sigh or sob or moan.

We tried to find an

earthly explanation

(pipes, wind blowing outside,

etc.) but the noise

moved around the room

when we heard it.

There was also the

A ghost, or some

warm air from the furnace?

It never did it again

in that area or around

us, until late in the

night, when a warm

spot could be physically

detected in the back

corner of the room.

Sure enough, the

thermometer was up a

few degrees again.

But the most meaningful

experience for

me was on a tour of the

home’s upstairs.

In a room that used

to be a hallway leading

to an opera house next

door, something started

tugging on my shirt.

At first I thought it

was the woman behind

me, but she was

too far away to do it

without having to

move near me or make

a noise behind me.

It did it a second

time when I was leaving

the room, while

she was in front of me,

and no one behind me.

A ghostly presence?

Apparently something

chair. But the

Knickerbockers do not

have any living feline

friends around – just

dogs.

Knick said based on

their experiences in the

building, they decided to

open the home up to

paranormal groups, who

can visit and train at the

facility, and around

Linesville.

“Just about everyone

in town has had some

sort of experience,”

Knickerbocker said.

To preserve the facility

for those doing scientific-

type investigation,

the family doesn’t map

out where the ghostly

events occur and specifically

what they are.

Investigators can

come in and explore the

building as desired, then

return to compare notes

with what others have

found.

Knickerbocker said

she’s found it to be an effective

way to prove the

what is going on in the

building.

people who’ve visited the

home over the past few

years.

Ryan / Larry / Peg and a spirit in the Knick
Peg Knickerbocker — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:54:54 +0000
Please enjoy this first hand account of a 15 to 20 minute exchange with a spirit that was contacted through energy at the Knickerbocker Hotel March ,11,2010

---------------------------------------------------------------

Myself and Larry met with Peg, Rick and Tom for their Thursday night paranormal meeting group at the Knickerbocker.  During the meeting we were all on the third floor broadcasting the get together on the internet.  During the meeting I heard on two occasions what sounded like a door either opening or closing on the second floor at the bottom of the steps.  Anyone who was watching the broadcast should have been able to see me react both times and on the one occasion ask if anyone else heard that.  The only other person to hear it was Larry who also commented on it.

Some time passed and Peg asked if she could use my EMF and K2 meters and left the group to check out the 2nd floor.  She wasnt gone long when she called for us to join her and Larry went to the second floor.

Larry was only gone for a few seconds when he asked me to also join them.

On the second floor in one of the front rooms they were getting some odd K2 and EMF fluctuations.  So we sat both meters on the ground and sat in a semi circle around them.

I then did our normal speech for a K2 session and asked that whoever was in the room w/ us to come near the device and make other lights on the K2 light up, and they did, bouncing back and fourth.  I then asked whatever was in the room to move away from the K2 so the lights would not flash and the lights immediately went out.

I asked if "it" were a male and the lights began flashing...  I asked "it" to step away and the lights again went off.

(after each time the lights would indicate a positive answer they would stay lit until I asked "it" to move away then they would go out immediately.  To save a lot of wording I leaving out each time I asked "it" to step away from the device and the lights would go out)

I asked if "it" were a female and nothing occurred.

I said ok so we are talking w/ a male and the lights again activated.

I then said something to the effect that I wanted to know how old "it" was and asked if "it" were over 20 and the lights flashed.

I asked if "it" were over 30 and the lights again activated.

I asked if "It" were over 40, nothing.

I asked if "it" was older than 35, nothing.

I then said so you are between 30 and 35 and the lights activated.

I then counted backwards..  are you 35, no response... are you 34, no response.. are you 33, no response... are you 32, no response... are you 31 and the lights activated.  After asking "it" to step away and the lights went out I asked are you 30 w/ no response.

I then said so we are talking w/ a 31 yr old male and the lights again activated.

At this point Peg said that she believed that she knew who we were communicating w/ and asked a series of questions pertinent to whom she thought we were speaking to and each time there was a positive response.  She then said is this "?????", and the lights fluctuated more then they had all night in a positive response.

Due to Peg asking us to keep the identity of this person quiet none of the questions she asked is being told.

The session lasted for 15 to 20 minutes then stopped as soon as it started and we got no other responses on the K2 meter.

I am glad that I was there to witness this "conversation" and am also glad that it was witnessed by Larry, Peg and myself.
