Ghosts… it is the apparition of someone who has died… they look the same as them and are connected to the places where they lived and died, sometimes living in the things that they had loved or died in. However, there is also a belief that ghosts are demons. Demons… a few days ago, I would have said that such things were impossible, but after tonight, I'm not so sure anymore. I had believed that paranormal events could create energy. If that is true, then it has become true that that energy can do anything. Some say that a ghost is just a replay of that person's death, so what is this one telling me.

I'm getting ahead of myself again. Tonight we continued to explore the mansion. So far, we have been very pleased with the results of our findings. Certain rooms give off strong energy readings. J believes that their might be power lines somewhere in the house, but that seems unlikely to me. I slept well the night before and thought that perhaps H and I had had a shared delusion. However, tonight S and I went to check out the Hanging Hallway. There are no mirrors there, which is strange considering the rest house has them. I heard the chime of the bell, but when S asked me about it, I realized that it was not my imagination. There was a flash of white behind us when we walked down the achingly long hallway. It was S that spun around, but it had disappeared. We heard a high pitched sound immediately after that. To me, it sounded like a child screaming, but S wasn't so convinced. He became very excited after that, saying that he believed the `ghost' had indeed found a way to communicate through some electrical currents. I do not believe that this is the case.

I was walking back to the room we have claimed as our own when I heard the floorboards creak behind me. I do not know what to think of these things anymore, it makes me feel like I am going mad, but still I turned around. There was nothing there, but I could have sworn that I felt soft hair brush my shoulder as I turned. O and J think that we are being childish, but J looks very unsettled. I will have to look out for him.

I am sure that there is something following me around this place. It chases me from mirror to mirror; the flash of white, the chime of a bell… is it really a ghost? Why is it haunting us? Who's ghost is it? And why is it now that our equipment is spiking so severely? H wants to leave, he is scared, but J calls him a moron, that we are doing too well to leave. As scared as I am of the haunting figure, I have to agree. In the days I have been here, I have gathered more data than in my entire lifetime! To think, this place is really haunted! I have uncovered the mirror. I hope that this spirit will learn to trust me and show his or her face. The air is cold now and we have gathered our clothes to create warmth. J is attached to his computer again. I hear a voice in the back of my head, begging for relief of the darkness. J still does not believe that there is a ghost here, but he refuses to leave and he has become excited, almost frantic. I wonder how one lures out a ghost? I wonder if I want to…
