    Prospect Place, aka Trinway Mansion, is a 29-room mansion built by abolitionist George W. Adams in 1856. For an extended period of time, it was a major stop on the Underground Railroad. There are many tales told about the building that lead people to beilieve that it may have spirits residing within its walls.  Some of these tales are real and some may be nothing but urban legend.  Regardless of the legitimacy of these stories, we at O.S.P.S. feel that there is near certainty that the paranormal does exist at this location.  We have been involved in numerous personal experiences including objects being thrown, the laugh of a little girl in the hallway, and the shaking of a bed while Jimbo  was laying on it.  These instances, along with several audio and video recordings, lead us to support our opinions.

EVP's

EVP 1

Location: Men's Parlor
After Brady asks if we are wasting our time in this EVP, there appears to be a whimper followed by several knocks. Is this a response from an entity that wishes for us to stay, or is there a simpler explanation?

EVP 2

Location: Men's Parlor
This EVP was recorded following some comments that Jimbo made towards one of the spirits that many feel still inhabit the mansion. While we cannot say with certainty what this may be, we feel that it could be a spirit saying "come here." 
Note: The clicking in the clip is a laser thermometer that was being used at the time for a temp sweep.

EVP 3

Location: Basement
In this EVP, John asked if the resident spirit was uncomfortable with our presence.  The first recording is the original, un-amplified version that has the initial question, a long pause, and then what we believe may be a response.  The second recording is the response, after it was removed and amplified slightly for easier listening.  While we cannot tell exactly what is being said, we strongly believe this was some kind of interaction. What do you think?

EVP 4

Location: Men's Parlor
This EVP was cut (and amplified) from a period of silence in the men's parlor.  We cant say what this is, as we didnt hear anything at the time and only came across it while listening to EVP sessions. While it may or may not be something actually paranormal, we are at a loss for an explanation and thus I included it in this section.
