First Paranormal Investigation

• 💡 The "Lights Out" crew embarks on their first on-location paranormal investigation at The Mansion on Colfax in Denver, Colorado.
• 🎯 The mansion, built in 1889, is known for its long and dark history and alleged spiritual activity.
• 🔑 The investigation begins in the basement, which houses a haunted escape room and has been a site of reported paranormal experiences for staff.

Mansion History and Legends

• 🏠 The mansion was originally built by G.V. Kram, a gold rush minor, who died before its completion.
• ⚠️ A key legend involves G.V. Kram faking financial ruin to test his wife's love, leading to his suicide in the basement.
• 👻 Staff and guests have reported experiencing unexplained phenomena, including voices, apparitions, and orbs.

Equipment and Initial Findings

• 📊 An R-Pod device detected drastic fluctuations in electromagnetic energy and radiation in a specific area of the basement, with readings far exceeding safe levels.
• 🎶 A music box motion detector was used, and the team attempted to communicate with spirits, asking for signs.
• 👁️ Orbs were reportedly seen on security camera footage during the investigation.

Ouija Board Session

• 🗣️ The team decides to use a Ouija board to attempt communication with G.V. Kram, emphasizing the seriousness of the tool.
• ❓ During the session, the planchette moved rapidly, with participants claiming they were not moving it, suggesting a response.
• 🥶 Some participants reported feeling sudden chills and cold sensations during the Ouija board session.

Disappointment and Reflection

• 📉 Despite the attempts, the team expressed disappointment with the lack of significant paranormal activity or high strangeness.
• 🤔 They theorize that the mansion's history, with only one recorded death, may not have enough tragic energy to manifest strong paranormal activity.
• ✨ The experience, however, opened them up to the possibility of the paranormal and increased their desire to investigate locations with darker histories.
