Haunted Hiwassee? By Sarah Foust
Whether or not ghosts are your fancy, there is always an element of intrigue when it comes to the unknown. This intrigue is what inspires the members of the East Tennessee Paranormal Research Society to seek that which is a mystery to us. Their search led them to our campus. On December 23,2006, ETPRS members and our own Dr. Allen set out to see if the rumors of Hiwassee being haunted were true. On March 10, 2007, they revealed their findings. Several EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomenon -- term used to describe voices of spirits caught on tape) were found throughout the campus. Some were chilling, while others were comical or kind. Regardless if you are a believer or a skeptic, what ETPRS has found will either chill or thrill you. So, next time you are visiting a friend in Brock Hall, hanging out in the Chapel’s bell tower, or thinking of breaking into Brunner, just remember…you are not alone.
There are many interesting links that lead you to a better understanding of ETPRS and what they do. You will even learn how to capture your own EVPs on tape! This proves possible due to the fact that EVPs deal with electrical fields. When a “pop” or “snap” sound is heard, it is believed to be a spirit trying to speak. The sound is most likely due to the disturbance within the electric field. It is often heard before and after they speak. EVPs are also ranged in clarity from A-C (“A” is the loudest & clearest).
