As you walk toward the grave of Civil War soldier Wallace H. Gale at the Volo Cemetery, you just may feel a burst of cold wind.
Wallace Gale it is said haunts the Volo Antique Mall, which is right next to the Volo Cemetery.
The building that houses the mall is owned by the Grams family and once was a dairy barn built in 1848 by the Gale family. Wallace Gale, who grew up on the property in an old farmhouse next door to the barn, starved to death in Tennessee while serving in the Civil War.
His body was returned to the homestead for burial, and you can see the tombstone from a window in the antique mall.

Over the years, mall visitors have reported seeing a young boy staring at them from outside the window on the fourth floor. Others claim to have seen perfume bottles floating in the air, and images of a soldier.
The family, employees and visitors to the mall kept their allegedly haunted grounds a bit of a secret, until the Discovery Channel — which hosted the now-canceled television show "Ghost Lab" — learned about it.

According to the show, a shadowy figure was captured on film sitting on some furniture inside the mall. The shadowy figure, some say, was the ghost of Wallace H. Gale.
Televised in November 2009, the show prompted more guests, workers and the family to come forward with more ghost stories and, since then, mall visitors have sent in photos and stories about creepy experiences, mostly at the mall or the grounds nearby, including stories of white dogs walking through mirrors, dolls found in strange places and a boy peering through the fourth-floor window — from the outside.

A Visit form the Spirits of Children. Many, many children.

It was a night like many other nights is the large old Haunted House. I have been in this castle like Victorian House for 11 years now, and have gotten use to the strange goings on. Sounds, voices, movements, and knockings, among numerous other things, but this night was a little different, and I'm not sure why. Not that it was more startling, or scary, but it was the number of voices, and the fact that, from what I could hear, they were all children. Children in a state of celebration, and fun.
I had gone to sleep that night. Me, and Wesley (my Boston Terrier) on the bed as normal. I had actually woken up from a strange dream I had. It was of a lady who had 2 bears in her house (one large, and one cub), and Wesley and I were visiting??? I don't know where that came from... We were taken there by someone else, and that someone had left. When I found out that we were going to have to stay in the bear occupied home for the night, I decided to take Wesley outside to go to the bathroom, while out there we saw a group of rats ran under the neighbors houses, and then came running back, and one of them bit Wesley. That is when I woke up. It wasn't a scary dream, just very annoying.

It was when I awoke from this dream that I heard the children, and not just a few of them. There were a large group of them and they were laughing, and cheering, as if some great fun were being had. They were really in a grand mood, and I thought to myself....this is a little weird, even for my house. It was coming from the bedroom adjacent to my bedroom. The rooms are connected with double doors, and I keep them closed, and locked at night. I do that to either keep my room cooler, or warmer, depending on the season.

I lay there listening, and it just kept going. They were really having fun. At this point I noticed that Wesley too was awake. I assume that he too had heard it. So now we were just laying in bed waiting for it to die down (at least I was), but it wasn't, so I decided to get up, and that is when it stopped. No more laughing, cheering, and playing. No more celebration. Just silence. I walked around the room, went to the bathroom. All in silence. They were all gone now.

I am not sure why that night was a special night, but I feel that it must have been from something that had happened in the past, Some special night that was once again being brought back to life. Why? I will probably never know.

A Baby Upstairs, Part of an ongoing Paranormal Investigation in the House

In this part of the on going Paranormal Investigation in the house, we find ourselves in one of the bedrooms upstairs with a infrared camera, and a spirit box, and the ghostly sounds of a baby.

Real Ghost, Orbs, and Shadows Caught on Video

I haven't done a Ghost Box (Spirit Box) session for a while, so I thought it was time. Unfortunately my camera battery ran down rather quickly, but I did manage to capture a couple of anomalies. I hope you enjoy this.
