IN JANUARY, 2016, the Anubis Paranormal Research Organization's Southern Florida Chapter, were invited to investigate an old hotel in Miami. (The owners of the hotel have asked to keep its location confidential.) The investigation proved to be one of the most intensely active the group has ever encountered, and produced an EVP – an electronic voice phenomena recording – that is remarkable not only for its length, but also for its terrifying content.
THE INVESTIGATION - CASE FILE: FL-078
During January 2016, APRO's Florida State Team Manager, Beckey Roberts and several members of Floridas APRO group went to a reputed haunted hotel on an overnight stay for what they thought would be a routine investigation. They had no idea what they were in for.
Originally built in the late 1800s, the building was in its colorful history the site of some nefarious activity, a fact that might be key to what is heard in the EVP.
On Friday night, Becky and her group set up their equipment – audio recorders, video recorders and other electronics – and settled in, hoping to document some evidence for the haunting the owners had claimed. Most investigations are relatively quiet, but this night was filled with paranormal activity, including muffled voices of unknown origin, footsteps from unseen bodies and more. Members of the group I spoke with confirmed that it was the most active haunting they had personally experienced.
The real shocker came the next day. On Saturday afternoon at about 3 p.m., two female APRO investigators and a member of the owner's family (also a female) sat on the staircase of the hotel with a digital voice recorder, intending to capture some EVP. They chose the stairway because they had heard soft conversations and footsteps on the floor above, although no one was up there.
When they later played the recording back, however, what they heard were not soft voices and footsteps, but something totally unexpected and completely terrifying.
THE EVP: WHAT YOU'LL HEAR
Becky Roberts describes what you'll hear on the recording:
"You can [faintly] hear the three females talking throughout the recording. You will hear a female – the family member – say, 'Hello, baby,' and another long conversation. Those are all human voices. But what sounds like a struggle or attack is going on as well.
"The male [voice] you hear was not present at the hotel. You will hear a cuckoo clock (which was not present) a ticking of a hall clock (which was there); you will hear what sounds like the microphone being moved (which was not touched) and then the sound becomes clearer.
"You will hear a creaking door and slamming of the door, which is real. Then you will hear a [unknown] woman say, 'Get off me,' and what sounds like the woman being attacked. The struggle continues for awhile, and during the EVP you can hear some of my investigators' conversations. After interviewing my investigators, they said they went and sat on the stairs of this hotel, because they heard from an above floor, what sounded like footsteps and conversations, not what you hear on this recording. When the noises stop, you hear the investigators participate in a lulled conversation. They stated that they started to talk when the noises stopped. In their conversation, you will hear a male voice say, 'Help me' several times."

EVP: "You Look Awful" CASE FILE: CO-031
Chessman Park, Denver, CO. We beleive what is heard is "Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi", each "Hi" being a little louder than the last, and then "You look awful!". I don't know if the spirit was telling me that I look awful, or if the spirit was telling the spirit that was saying "Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi" that she looked awful. As best I can tell, the "Hi" is in a female voice, and the "You look awful" is in a male voice.

Lucille Ball’s Ghost
Lucille Ball started her acting career in the movies as a “glamour girl.” Films such as, Ziegfeld Follies in 1946 showcased her beauty.
However, it was her role as Lucy Ricardo in the hit television series I Love Lucy that aired from 1951-56 that she created with her husband Desi Arnaz that highlighted her natural physical ability and genius for comedy. This show made her a huge star.
Episodes from all 3-television sitcoms that Lucille Ball starred in are still shown in syndication around the world--which is a tribute to her talent.
When Lucille Ball died during surgery on April 26, 1989, at the age of 77, she was still living in her home located at 1000 North Roxbury Dive in Beverly Hills, California.
Lucille purchased this home when she was married to her first husband Desi Arnaz.
What Lucille Ball house looked like.
Gary Morton, Lucille's second husband sold the house several years after her death. The new owners had the house torn down.
A friend of Lucille's drove past the property to see the home one last time. Walls were missing and he could see Lucille's old bedroom. He then noticed a tall, slim redhead peering through the fence at the what was left.
She turned toward him and he realized it was Lucy. She looked upset and confused. She then walked around the south corner of the house and disappeared.
Despite the fact Lucille's home was destroyed there still have been reports of a number of strange happenings. It is felt Lucille Ball’s ghost haunts the new home that replaced hers.
Most of the activity occurs in the attic.
Lucille‘s ghost is said to be playful but seldom intrusive. It appears she hangs around because she loves her old neighborhood.
Her ghost is sometimes impulsive. One recent owner of the Roxbury home stated that her ghost spends a lot of time rearranging furniture and boxes that are stored in the attic.
She has never physically damaged anything but a variety of noises have been reported emulating from the attic. One witness claimed she heard the sounds of a party going on upstairs.
Another witness, a family member of the new owners stated she heard the I Love Lucy theme song playing softly in the attic--she heard this song on more than one occasion.
Ball’s presence has always been accepted as being a natural part of the home. When it was suggested to the owner that an exorcism should be performed he stated he could never do that to “Lucy.”
What new home looks like.
The home was put up for sale in 2010.
Lucille Ball’s ghost is also said to haunt the Hart building at Paramount Studios. This studio was once Desilu Studios-- where the I Love Lucyshow was produced.
Night watchmen at this studio have reported seeing her spirit in this building’s upper floors. Her present is always surrounded by the scent of a flowery perfume.
