F a d e...viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1120731We have not started. We need four more investigators before we can start. We need a photography expert, a tech expert, and two others. We have mostly females and could use a few guys.
They used to tell stories about this place. A plantation as old as the United States it's self. They say that people were murdered here. They say that spirits are trapped here. People have come here countless times and rarely leave without seeing or hearing something. A door slamming. Footsteps. A voice. Some feel the presence of something around them. It makes their skin crawl. They say that what they felt didn't feel right.
Are you afraid? I hope not. Because we're going there. Tonight. We'll get our evidence. Assuming that the spirits don't get us first.
Freedom is something we'll never have. We've learned that long ago. We're trapped here. The vortex goes only one way and we're on the wrong side. People come here and we reveal ourselves to them. We talk to them. We follow them. We make our presence known. We hate them. Why should they be free when we are trapped? Why should they live while we die? It doesn't seem fair.
They're coming tonight. We can feel it. They're expecting something, so let's give them a good show.The Location
Black Horse Plantation has quite a history behind it. It was built after the Revolutionary War in Louisiana. It has been a paranormal hot spot for hundreds of years. Many people have come here looking for evidence of ghosts, and they've found it. The plantation house is very large and has two floors, both with numerous rooms. The grounds are also large. There are paths, trees, and bushes everywhere. There is a creek with a bridge over it and a small gazebo that are on the grounds as well.
They say that the vortex (the place where spirits enter the physical world) is on the 13th step in the stairwell. The hot spot of the whole plantation is the bridge where they say several people committed suicide either from hanging or drowning in the creek below.
Other hot spots include the dining room and the children's room on the top floor.
People have heard voice and seen misty apparitions. Sometimes people see things in the mirror. Sometimes people hear a door slam or see an object move. It's clear that something strange is going on at Black Horse Plantation.
The Paranormal Investigators
An team of experts is going to investigate the plantation for a night. They've heard the stories and they want to see if they can capture their own evidence of paranormal activity. They're going to set up cameras in the hot spots and use various monitors and microphones to capture thermal images and voice recordings.
There are six people on the team, the leader, two photography experts, a tech expert, and two other people of various expertise.
The leader is responsible for manning the "base camp" which is a table set up with monitors to watch various areas of the plantation. They are in charge of keeping all the other team members safe and alerting them to activity. If they see something on the monitors, they alert the others via walkie-talkie and send them to check it out. They tell the others if the cameras go out or if equipment stops working. They move around very little. All team members report paranormal activity to the leader at base.
The photography experts are in charge of analyzing video and setting up all of the cameras. They usually carry the thermal camera to check for odd heat signatures. They take pictures to see if they can capture anything strange. They also wander the grounds to see if they can see anything abnormal, same as everyone else. They do a fair amount of moving around.
The tech expert is in charge of all the gadgets besides the cameras. They take care of any microphones, monitors, walkie-talkies, and other things. They go around checking for odd electromagnetic readings or electromagnetic voice phenomenons (EVP). They too wander to see if they can see anything abnormal. They do a fair amount of moving around.
The other people talk to the ghosts and scan for unusual activity. They may be interns new to the team. They often conduct tests to see if they can get reactions from any spirits. They help out the other people on the team. They are the multipurpose people who do the dirty work as far as getting evidence. They move around the most.
The Ghosts
The ghosts are spirits from all kinds of places and time periods. They are trapped on the plantation and many of them died there. They come in all sorts of varieties, good and bad, friendly and unfriendly. It just depends on who you run into and what their story is.
Thermal ghosts only appear as heat signatures. They may not be seen with the naked eye, but they do appear on thermal imaging cameras. They are the hardest ghosts to pin down since heat signatures are unpredictable.
Apparitions are ghosts that can be seen. They appear as misty figures and sometimes they only appear on film. They vary from people shaped figures to misty clouds. They are the most common ghosts seen by humans, though they can't always speak to them. Sometimes they can change their shape.
Sound ghosts can speak and create sounds that can be heard. Often this sound can only be heard with a microphone, but if a ghost tries hard enough their sounds can be heard by human ears. They often speak, make noises like foots steps or music, or make other sounds beyond that.
Poltergeists can move objects and create sounds that way. They often do things like slam doors, knock things over, and rustle bushes. They're more mischievous than other ghosts and sometimes are outright violent. They are the only ghosts that can do more than create sounds or images. They have some sort of hold in the physical world.
All ghosts can move through walls and floors and if seen are partially transparent. Often a single ghost will be a mix of two types of ghosts, such as a thermal ghost that can also create sound.
