The Doorway

As you all have probably figured out by now, I'm a bit of a procrastinator. I swear I'll have stories up of the haunted tours, but in the meantime...

So during the tours we met a few people who were pretty interested in the club, which totally made my night. They came by during the club meeting, and we were doing some investigating. You know, just basic stuff: EVP's, a little bit of provoking, and using the EMF detector here and there.

Before we began an EVP session, one of the new members Eric pointed to the right side doorway beside the stage and asked, "What happened in this doorway?"

Becca and I seriously froze. No, nothing we're aware of happened in this doorway, but myself, Becca, Emily, Matt, and now Eric have all asked about that doorway. Last year when we started investigating, Becca and I had a really uneasy feeling about that doorway. Okay, okay, I'll admit we were a little afraid of it in the beginning. After a while we just got uneasy. We heard a lot of growling coming from the doorway, and several times we saw an unexplainable figure standing inside watching us.

We never really told this to anyone (because really, who besides us would care?), and we let it go over the summer. When we started up again in August and we brought our new (now hardened veteran) member Emily into the auditorium, we never mentioned the doorway to her. So imagine our surprise when she walked past it, stopped, and then asked, "So what happened in this doorway?" When we asked her why she wanted to know, she told us, "I don't know, I just don't like it. It gives me the creeps."

Okay, so in all reality a lot of the auditorium probably gives people the creeps. I mean, it does look sketchy. But Why did that doorway draw her attention? When we brought in our other now-hardened member Matt, after not having mentioned the doorway to him, he asked us the same exact thing, and then explained his question the same way.
Can't you just feel the creepiness oozing out?

Honestly, I'd forgotten about that doorway and the creepiness emanating from it until today. I mean, it's always in the back of my head, but with so many more stories to keep investigating, and all the new places to be afraid of, it doesn't bother me as much. So when the newest member Eric asked us about it, it was pretty startling.

Adding onto this whole thing, my roommates went through our tours last weekend and after they were over, both told me that they felt unusually creeped out by the doorway. On the tours, we stop at the end of the aisle beside that doorway, and my roommate Rachel told me she didn't feel safe with her back to the door. She told me that "it sounded so close that I thought I was gonna turn around and see someone in the doorway". And, as always, with everything that has to do with Richardson, when she turned around, she saw nothing there. My other roommate Lisa said that she felt unsettled about the doorway too, and she also heard the voice. They told me it was a mixture between a hiss and a whisper. It didn't say anything specific, but it was clearly a voice.

When I asked them about the doorway, I never said anything about it being creepy. How we even got on the topic had nothing to do with anything paranormal. I was looking for a picture of the doorway, and I realized I took a decent one last year. I told her I was surprised I'd been so on top of it last year, and when I showed her the picture to explain my point, she looked unnerved and said she didn't like that doorway. 

At first I thought maybe Becca and I were the only ones that didn't like it, and I thought it was just a personal preference thing. But now that people not even in the club (that don't do any investigating of the sort) have come to the unanimous agreement that there is something weird about that doorway, I'm pretty confident it's not just based on personal opinions. I'm not exactly sure what happened in that doorway. I've never really focused our investigating efforts on that one spot, but I think now that it keeps cropping up, we have a new mystery to solve.
