So, seeing as it took us a year to get full access to Richardson and clearance for an overnight, I'm pretty stoked that it only took a little over a week to get complete and total clearance for the library.
I was expecting a big hassle, tons of paperwork, and several hoops to jump through, so imagine my surprise when the Library Manager not only granted us investigation clearance, but he added "If you want to do a lock in, come by next Friday when we close and you guys can stay as long as you want".
On top of that, we're so close to becoming official I can almost taste the senate meeting, and we have high hopes of being able to rent actual cameras. Our sponsor, Pete, brought up the idea of producing a short investigation bit every week to put on our University TV channel. How awesome would that be?
That's pretty much all the exciting news we've got for you, so stay tuned and watch for an awesome video soon to come!

Here We Go Again
After a bit of time off for Winter Break, the club is back in Richardson. Being gone for a month, we weren't really sure what we'd come back to. Our discoveries were pretty mild, for Richardson anyways.
Before I jump into the first week back, I actually have some pretty exciting news. Becca and I managed to get permission to investigate both the Student Union Building and the Library. We'll be able to go in during the day, and we even got permission to investigate after hours, and possibly overnight. So, we've got new territories to get familiar with, and new ghosts to meet.
Heading back to Richardson for now, we all scattered around the basement to see what was new. Before we left, Becca left another note in the dust (this was the result of our first dust-test) for whatever entity felt like replying.
Like most things we find, we're not entirely sure what it means. Red could mean a multitude of things- the color, a name, my initials... Whatever it could be, you can bet we'll be looking into that as well.
Once again, we had our little chair phenomenon: the gathering of chairs in the basement decided to rearrange themselves again in a nice little line in front of the gate.
I have no clue what's going on with the chairs. Like one reader mentioned, there is a high chance of a poltergeist. And I mean, with everything that happens, it's entirely possible. Many of the things that move are in connection to other ghosts we know about, but since new things are starting to happen, who knows? We could have a poltergeist in the basement.
And, finally, sticking to the tradition of weird things showing up in the boiler room, we give you the last picture:
Let me say again that usually we have no idea why things happen, and we've just started to accept that things move on their own, and that the voices we hear don't always belong to someone in the room. And, sometimes, empty pallets decide to pile themselves in front of the stairs leading to the Janitor's room. We figured we'd leave them- something obviously wants them in our way (whether it's Mr. Janitor, or the living janitors...) so Matt took the initiative and climbed over. Nothing was off in the janitor's room, so why was it blocked off? Has Mr. Janitor finally had it with us traipsing around his apartment? Or has the janitorial staff decided we don't need to be climbing up there? We'll probably never know.
So, as always, we're starting the year off right. Plenty of unexplainable things to look into, new places to investigate, and plenty more stories to come our way. Stay tuned, because I have a good feeling that this semester is going to be one we'll never forget.

Basement chairs part 2
While I was going through my iPod, I found another photo that I took before winter break.
The chairs that were scattered around in the boiler room are all lined up facing the boiler room door. I know for a fact the club didn't position them like that. I can't confirm that no one else touched them, but I do find it odd that another group of chairs were fixed to face a door.
Like we showed in the last vlog we did of the basement, both the white door (where the first group of chairs were facing) and this door lead to the wall of pipes and the boiler room.
On a side note, the semester starts January 14th, and the club will meet back up shortly thereafter. Look for more frequent updates and a lot more videos this semester!

Night Investigation Vlog
We have a new video out that we took during our night investigation. Granted, we did that in September and I just managed to put it together, but that's beside the point...

Chairs of the Basement
Yesterday during our investigation, the group headed down to the basement to check that everything was unchanged. Matt headed back into the cage area, and the rest of us fanned out to sweep the area. About ten seconds after Matt got back behind the cage, he said he needed to show us something creepy.
Once we got the lights on, I climbed back there with him, and saw what he meant. In the back of the caged area, there are several chairs scattered about. They're all moved and turned because the club needed to move them for the tours, and because we usually pull them up and use them for things.
So seeing every single chair in the caged area turned and facing the white door was really unnerving. I don't get creeped out very easily, but I couldn't help the goosebumps.
That one brown chair is odd too- why just the one chair picked out of the others, and why right in front of the white door? I know for a fact no one in the club set them up like that. The only people who would have done that were with me last Thursday, and no one ever goes into the caged area unless they're with the club or they're with facilities.
As to why the chairs are lined up how they are, I don't know, but you can bet we'll be finding out soon.
