The building "was built in 1912 as a YMCA and opened its doors in 1913. It was a stop for railroad workers, military personnel, and men that needed a place to stay. In the early days, we were told some of the Y's were fronts for speakeasy's, and brothels. They used to hold dances on the main floor. The building is 50,000 sq feet." (from DanVinar.com)

Amy Morgan
I had my first paranormal experience at the house where I lived when I was 5. I have been a paranormal investigator since 1998 but joined my first group in 2008. I have been a very active member of three groups. I have worked with all kinds of different types of equipment from very basic children's toys to higher tech rem pods and mel meters. I am proficient with dowsing rods and pendulums. I also have a wicked huge collection of crystals and gems. I am clairsentient (an empath) and claircognizant (I "know" things without knowing how I know them). I do automatic writing and tarot and oracle readings as well. Growing up in the house I did, I have always been fascinated by anything and everything paranormal or unexplained.
