Geva Theater
GEVA Theater Investigation

Set Up:
For this investigation our group was invited to work with Western
New York Paranormal. We split up into 3 groups I was partnered
with Rich and Jen. I used my digital camera and tape recorder to
collect evidence.

Investigation:
Our group started off in the basement. I took some photos of the
hallway leading to the green room. While in the green room I took
pictures, I also took photos near the elevator where there has
been a report of a dark shadow. After this area we went to the
winding hall, in this hallway there are reports of a nurse that took
care of patients with T.B. In this hallway I felt a lot of pressure and
my throat that had already started bothering me started to
worsen.  While in this hallway at points it got really hot where my
face felt like it was burning and then it would cool off some. When
one of our group members tried to contact us by walkie-talkie we
noticed that it wasn’t working properly. Also when I tried to call one
of the group members on the cell phone, the phone rang and they
never heard it ringing.   Once my group finished our investigation
of the basement we went to the main theater, this was where we
spent the remainder of our time. While in the theater we kept
hearing a clanking kind of sound, something tapping the metal, it
was not happening in just one area it seemed to switch spots.
Before we split up, my camera suddenly shut off, it made a
strange noise. When Jen and I went to the balcony the talkie kept
beeping and one time it sounded like someone was trying to talk
but it was so jumbled that we couldn't’t understand. I spent the
majority of my time in the balcony seated in the center, in front of
the sound both. At times it would get very warm up there and then
cool down, but it was difficult to tell temperature changes since we
were elevated. During the investigation of the balcony, while we
were sitting It felt like my arm was being pushed and I was being
pushed from behind. It also seemed like there was some shadow
movement in different areas of the theater.  Once everyone met
back up in the theater, we all sat in different areas of the theater to
see if the clanking noise really moved from place to place. This
was where we concluded our investigation.



Evidence:

Basement:
I captured a few photos with orbs in the green room.
I had more activity in the curved hallway; I captured several photos
with orbs and strange shadowing or shading. Also, I took and
photo of a mirror in that hallway and it looks like there’s a shadow
and a face in the mirror. I did get a couple possible e.v.p’s on side
b of my cassette tapes it sounded like go or no.

Theater:
I got a few photos of orbs. The strangest thing is that my cassette
tape went into fast forward.  I believe that I got an e.v.p while I was
in the balcony, but it’s difficult to tell because I can’t slow the tape
down any further.

Impressions from the night-
Rob medium M.C.P.I.

The building was very still in some areas and very
active in others. Prior to the investigation I was told
about a seat I-24 and that it would be different in color
and that a spirit in visitation held the seat in some
regard. I was also given the impression of a woman in
period clothing on a large staircase falling. As I stood
on the stage at the building I was able to locate a seat
of a slightly different color. Upon investigation the seat
was I-24 and it was a lower case I with no plinth or base
a single straight line. This was exactly what I was shown
and I told Kat and Stacie both. The stage was also the
scene where the woman fell, she was an actress in a
production staged at the theater. I did note aloud that
the building was 150 years old and that the current
design had been in place for 30-35 years. Both were
confirmed by Kat and Stacey. During set up I saw what I
thought to be a man in the control room but I blew it off
as I thought there was someone still in the building with
us. Later to find out we were alone. Also during set up
Kat and I were alone in the main stage area we heard
tools moving about, a drill and people 5-10 moving
around backstage. It was so clear that I yelled very
loudly “hello---Who’s backstage?” there was no
response. After the group came back I heard a growl or
at least a deep groan. Stacey immediately said “did you
hear that?” “was that your camera?” to which Kat
replied something about cameras not growling.



The overall feeling in entire building was cluttered for
me, the imprints on the location seemed to overlap
each other, I was able to pick some things specific. For
the most part I was able to give information about a
man who was in charge of overseeing the transfer out
of wooden boxes approx 1½ feet high 2 feet wide and 7
feet long. He was very solemn. I felt as though the
boxes were being sent all over western New York. To
me they seemed to be casket sized although rough in
design. I also saw the rough wood used to make these
coming in to the building and a process of sorts
detailing the transformation. The name I heard was
Abraham or Abraham (not sure). As I write this I am
wondering if I was supposed to read into the raw
material transfer to casket line of thought. The next was
a solitary woman located on the second floor, she was
very alone and seemed to be voluntarily cut off from all
around her. I was made to feel very ill in both my head
and chest, but that my wits were still about me through
the process of passing. The body failed but the mind
remained. I am guessing but I told Kat and Stacey that it
may have been T.B. Because of the feeling of fever
and chest and head illness. She did however seem to
be in a uniform of sorts. Uniforms played a large part as
I was able to see a man in what I called a porters or
ushers uniform from the 50’s. I saw several men in
military garb with particularly old uniforms WW era I’m
guessing. They were drab green and the pants seemed
to balloon at the leg a little. I felt as though at one time
this building may have been a livery as there were
horses and carriages all around it. There were so many
incarnations that it was hard to focus and separate the
weaker and the replay imprints from each other. I am
almost ashamed to write this but Kat and Stacey asked
if I wanted to check the basement, I bluntly said that T.
R. wanted us to check the basement because of a
shadow man that seemed to dart around in and out of
the shadows. Stacey confirmed this and I told her that I
was being warned against going there because of my
inability to focus. My guide Serra was the one who
warned me she is also the one who tends to back me
off if I’m in to deep. So I listened and showed a little
self control. The building was heavy at times as though
many deaths were in the building, then swinging to
isolation and death and then to gathering place and then
to livery to theater it was all over the map. I would love
to go back on a night when I may be able to focus
better and separate facts.
