However, I do think investigators unknowingly skew their evidence. For example, only showing photographs that depict phenomena proving a site is haunted. An investigator takes a hundred photos, and only one has something remarkable, and that’s the only evidence the investigator submits in their post-investigation report.

One of the biggest misconceptions that new investigators have is that a house is haunted; it’s haunted twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. They can walk in at any time and witness paranormal activity. For years, I have heard members of the paranormal community say, “If a house is haunted, you should witness paranormal activity both day and night.” From my experience, this is absolutely wrong.

When you visit the Lemp Mansion, be sure to take note of its triangular parking lot. This oddly shaped lot is the only reminder of the Kramer Mansion and Marion Hospital.
