History

Please refer back to our original investigation.

Talking with historians in Hibbing, we were able to find out that the ground that was used to fill in and level the terrain was originally from the site of the old Rood Hospital which was the first hospital in what is today present day Hibbing. It was built in 1920 by the Oliver Mining Company when Hibbing relocated.

 In 1918, the site was used as an influenza camp for the sick. With the cemetery nearby, all they had to do was dump the bodies next door and bury them. Several mass graves are thought to be in the North Hibbing Cemetery. Last rite of burial in this cemetery dates back to 1919. From there on, the Maple Hill Cemetery was used as the primary resting spot for citizens of Hibbing.

 

 

Investigation

 

The team arrived at 9:00 PM. The team gave tours of the location to the new members. For this investigation, the MNPSG objective was to share this location with others. We already had our evidence from past investigations to provide documentation of this activity. This was about our guests.

Our guests this night included:

The MNPSG also was training in Matt Rasmussen and Justin Holley, two of our new members and testing our new DVR donation.

We set up for an hour and 40 minutes due to all the cameras that we had. With combination of the NLPS equipment, we had a total of 7 DVR cameras to place and make sure no interference was going to take place. We had a total of 4 hand held cameras for documentation as teams walked around the grounds.

We split up into teams of 3-5 people throughout the night.

 

Team One

  • Adam Nori
  • Johnny Wilson
  • Lisa Karnes
  • Rick Wilson

 

Team Two

  • Mickey Rice
  • Kristin Rice
  • Becky Ballard
  • Mark Sauer
  • Justin Holley

 

Team Three

  • Don Larsen
  • Matt Rasmussen
  • Matt Nelson

Glen Katzenberger alternated around the teams as he gave tours and shared his experiences.

 

The teams split up and rotated the grounds of Greyhound which included:

  • The Main Museum Building
  • The Hiking Path Between the Cemetery and Greyhound
  • The Montana, Sunrise Bakery, and Shop Buildings on the western edge of the property.
  • The buses near the shop building and sunrise building.These include the Saudi bus, the two RV buses, MC8 (Canada bus), More on the buses can be found here.

 

We placed our DVRs in the main museum building. MNPSG had set theirs up in the glass case room and the western edge of the "bus room." NLPS set up their cameras on the Senic Cruiser, shooting north in front of the "Nine" bus, and down the lanes of the Senic Cruiser and Buffalo bus shooting west.

As batteries died from the hand helds, we put them on tripods in the main museum building.

 

 

Observations and Conclusions

 

 Our final time at Greyhound did not have as much personal experiences nor did it have as much evidence. This could be due to the amount of people increasing at the museum. There was a lot less quiet time and more ambient talking that containmented our audio as well. However, there were a few personal experiences and odd noises caught on our audio. The video revealed nothing.

Personal Experiences Reported that night:

  • Reports of two members seeing and hearing a little girl on the walking trail. The audio from this confirmed this voice.
  • Report of temperature changes on a guest member. While on an RV bus, the guest had his back to the door. His chest temperature was 55 degrees F while his back was 75 degrees F. IR Thermometer measured this.
  • Loud bangs that were not audibly heard by our investigators showed up on several audio pieces as well as Don's news camera. We are not sure what these bangs are but they sound like someone is hitting the metal on the buses very hard.
  • The team reported seeing a shadow person between the 2nd and 3rd bus on from the entrance of the main museum. NLPS's cameras were angled at this but at this time, we have not heard if this was picked up as they were having IR issues.
  • The NLPS did report that they had some strange noises on their wireless audio which may be a voice of a child. Still pending final review.

 

 

FINAL CONCLUSION: The museum does exhibit strange activity, much of which was unexplainable. We have seen and do know that the activity seems to escalate around the assistant director Glen Katzenberger. We believe this is because they feel more comfortable and aware of his position and intent at the museum.
