GHOSTS AT KREM2 TV STATION IN SPOKANE, WA

I was invited, along with The Spirited Medium Jennifer Von Behren to go talk about paranormal and do a walk thru" of the KREM2 news building for their Halloween segment, as there had been some strange activity.
As many buildings, this one also has a lot of residual energy.
It was once used for the KREM AM radio owned by Louis Wasmer, who in 1954 built an extension to the building for the KREM2 TV airing their first broadcast on October 29, 1954.
Today they share the building with KSKN22.
The first spirit that Jennifer saw was an older female by the reception desk as we walked in the building and waited to go do the interview.
During our interview Jennifer saw an older male spirit behind the news anchor Sydnee Scofield.
We started our walk thru' of the building in the main studio, where Jennifer saw a friendly and a bit flirty light haired male spirit wearing overalls peak around the corner by the kitchen set. He told Jennifer that his name is Ed and that he had been there in the 1960's. He also said that he is handy and had worked moving things around.
In the newsroom near the sports desk Jennifer saw a female spirit, who was attached to the person working in that area.
The newsroom had many employees, who seemed to have an attachment with them.
We moved on to the more historic area of the building not being used anymore. This room had a different energy feel and Jennifer saw a nice looking male spirit come in thru' the door on the right side. He looked at us and went back out after a female voice hollered "come on Gary". He seemed to be busy.
There had been a helicopter crash in the back parking lot in 1985, where 2 people had died. One of them was a photojournalist Gary Brown.
We continued on to the basement , where Jennifer saw 2 friendly male spirits in a small storage room. Their names were Charlie and Bob, who were buddies and they said that they used to come there to smoke. Now they pop in and out.
Charlie, the taller of the two and more talkative one said he used to move people around.
In the archive room Jennifer felt that there was a female spirit attachment to one of the tapes on the shelves. She was murdered and left on the side of the road. She also said they got the wrong guy.
In the boiler room there was a little "closet" area, where Jennifer saw a short haired female spirit hiding, who got hit in the head.
She likes to mess with people and freak them out. She feels that this is her space.
Last area in the basement we went to was a large storage room.
There were 4 spirits following us. One was Gary and his female friend and 2 other male spirits. One of the male spirits was a handyman while back.
We set up some equipment to see if any of them could communicate using them. Gary seemed interested in the equipment calling himself a little bit of a pro and the female thought they were fun. She liked to turn on the flashlight.
They also set off the K2 EMF meter. The music box, that worked fine before and after, malfunctioned. It is very common for the spirit energy to drain the batteries or cause issues with the equipment.
The female spirit said she has a daughter that works there.
The spirits like it there. Some of them worked there. One of their name was Kerry.
We did 4 evp sessions with a voice recorder during our walk thru' and got some quiet answers . In general one needs headphones to hear the spirit voices well.
Next we went to inside the women's bathroom, where there had been some activity.
Jennifer saw a giggling female spirit there, who used to work in the building.
In another room on the main level Jennifer saw an older married couple, They were very much attached to the building or the land.
Jennifer saw another female spirit in one of the offices, who again was attached to the person in there.
The last place we went to was the back parking lot, where 2 people had died in the helicopter crash.
Jennifer hears the word 'messy". She sees lots of ambulances etc. Lot of residual energy as well.
There is a male spirit saying he got out of the left side and was standing there watching what had happened. Then he said "damn bird. " If the death was fast, this is very common to happen.
Someone also said "it wasn't supposed to happen like that, it was supposed to be safe"
The 2 men that lost their lives in the helicopter crash were Gary Brown the photojournalist and the helicopter company owner pilot Cliff Richey.
We would like to thank the news anchor Sydnee Scotfield and the Producer Shannon Moudy as well as KREM 2 News for the invite and the opportunity to walk thru" the building.

Some interesting discussion on coast to coast.
I always say history and paranormal go hand in hand. Ghosts are part of the history and this is why researching the history is important and this is why I add it to all my posts if possible.
Factual evidence can validate what you see and hear. I also say not everything you see or hear is paranormal nor every darker energy is evil or devil.
Ghosts are around day and night. Evidence can be captured with lights on.
Everything is energy and energy attracts energy.
It is all about energy vibration and frequencies.
Being a paranormal investigator is so much more than looking for ghost energy to try and validate the existence of supernatural and trying to explain the unexplainable.
It is about helping people and spirits in need.
The paranormal is a mystery that science simply cannot explain in every case.

They are making a good point.
I always say not everything you hear or see is paranormal and all equipment can give you false positives. They can be affected by many things non paranormal.
Use your senses and pay attention to how you feel.

👻 DO WE RELY TOO MUCH ON OUR EQUIPMENT?

Let's have a conversation that might ruffle a few feathers in the paranormal community.

Years ago, investigators walked into locations with flashlights, cameras, audio recorders, notebooks, and their own senses.

Today, we have thermal cameras, SLS cameras, spirit boxes, REM Pods, paranormal apps, and more gadgets than some electronics stores.

But have we reached a point where we're watching our equipment more than we're observing our surroundings?

Don't get us wrong. At KenTenn Paranormal, we use plenty of equipment ourselves. Technology can help us document environmental changes, record potential evidence, and investigate things our senses might miss.

But equipment has limitations. A flashing light isn't automatically a spirit. A stick figure isn't automatically an apparition. And a word coming through a device isn't automatically communication.

Equipment gives us information. It doesn't automatically give us answers.

Sometimes the most important tool an investigator carries isn't electronic. It's the ability to observe, question, think critically, and recognize when something has a perfectly normal explanation.

We're not suggesting anyone abandon their equipment. We're asking whether we've become so dependent on it that we sometimes forget how to investigate without it.

And here's the important part: using more equipment doesn't make you a better investigator, and using less doesn't make you a better investigator either.

It's what you do with the information that matters.

👇 So let's hear from you: Are paranormal investigators becoming too dependent on technology, or has modern equipment made us better at what we do?

Different opinions welcome. Respectful discussion encouraged.

👻 Investigate Responsibly.

This is all so true. I say this all the time; do what works for you. !
All very well said.

👻 THERE IS ONE RULE IN PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION…

Do what works for YOU.

Old school? Do it.
New school? Do it.
A little bit of both? Absolutely.

Use apps. Don’t use apps. Carry a case full of equipment or walk in with a recorder, flashlight and your own senses.

There is no single method that makes someone a “real” paranormal investigator.

What matters is what you do with the information you collect.

Question your evidence.
Try to debunk it.
Respect the location.
Respect the people—living and dead.
And be willing to admit when you simply don’t know.

We don't all have to investigate the same way.

But there is one rule I think we should all agree on:

JUST DON’T FAKE IT.

Find your methods. Learn from your mistakes. Keep evolving.

👻 Investigate Responsibly.

GHOSTS AT THE FINLEN HOTEL AND MOTOR INN IN BUTTE, MT

After our investigation in Butte, I decided to go do a brief walk thru' of the old Finlen Hotel with Scott Mercer and Eric Crabtree from Spookan Spirit Seekers, as it is rumored to be haunted.
There is no access to floors 4-9 as they are apartments, but you can go to the basement, mezzanine and lobby level to look around.
We did an evp session on the mezzanine balcony area and got an immediate male response.
There was an energy change on the basement staircase, but no solid response on the voice recorder to confirm anyone's presence.
I had Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren - Medium read the energy of the building.
In the lobby she sees a male spirit, who is clean cut with a dark hair wearing a dark suit and white gloves; possibly a concierge or maybe a door man.
In the mezzanine area she sees a couple; a male and a female spirit both wearing hats from the 1920's or 30's era sitting on one of the sofas.
In the basement hallway Jennifer sees a big, bulky male spirit wearing overalls. He is saying "don't go in the tunnel".
In the small staircase area going upstairs Jennifer can hear 2 children running up and down the stairs. Possibly residual energy.
In the lobby area Jennifer can hear echoing gunshots.
Old buildings generally have residual energy from times gone by.
I was able to find several people, who passed away here and several events involving shooting.
One has to keep in mind that people who die at a location, are not necessarily there after they pass.
Lot of the ghosts that visit the location once stayed there and had a great time and simply want to go back to where it was fun .
Butte has lot of paranormal activity and many ghosts roam.
To understand who might still be around, one needs to look into the history of the location.
Aug 12,1889 a 58 year old drummer Charles A. Fischer shot himself on the 3rd floor of the McDermott hotel.
In 1906 G.W Sikes, a Miner business manager dies at his apartment at the Finlen Hotel of Bright's disease.
In 1911, Miles Finlen passes away at his apartment at the Finlen Hotel.
In 1927, an 82 year old stockman J.C.Brenner passes away at the Finlen Hotel.
On Feb of 1930, Dan Milkovich jumped from the 9th story of the Finlen Hotel.
In 1975, a 19yr old Charles Wade Lafley was shot on the 4th floor of the Finlen Hotel. He was reported to be in stable condition tho'.
Other gun related incidences , one of which that may validate what Jennifer VonBehren was hearing was on Apr 10, 1917. There was a robbery at the Finlen Hotel lobby, where one of the gunmen was shot in the abdomen by the police and the other on the leg.
In 1914 five gunshots rang out in the alley next to the Finlen Hotel that startled the hotel guests.
It seemed that the back alley of the Finlen hotel had held ups and shady people back in the day.
Finlen Hotel started out in 1889 as the McDermott Hotel by William McDermott, who discovered the first copper mine in Butte.
In 1897 he sold the hotel to Miles Finlen[1847-1911], a mining pioneer and a prominent figure in MT.
In 1901 Miles Finlen changed the name to Finlen Hotel.
After he passed away in 1911, his son James T. Finlen Jr[1873-1947] took over.
The old hotel then was levelled to give way to the New Finlen Hotel, which opened formally on February, 1924.
Finlen Annex addition, that was built next to the main 9 story hotel opened in 1930.
In 1955 Western hotels purchased the hotel and it was then called the Finlen Western Hotel.
Finlen Motor Inn was built next to the Annex, that was formally opened in 1960.
Hotel changed hands few more times after that and is now called the Finlen Hotel and Motor Inn.
Today there is no food related services at the Finlen Hotel and the Annex is not in use.
They do have the Cavalier Lounge still that is open Wed thru' Sat as well as 2 ballrooms for events.
Finlen Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.

This is a part of our session at the St. James Hospital left surgery room in Butte, MT with Jennifer Von Behren - Medium S.L.A.S.H Spookan Spirit Seekers Eric Von Behren and Scott Mercer.
We are talking with a nurse, who used to work there. Jennifer can see her and hear her for answers and this spirit is very good at using the flash light to communicate with us. Some cannot work the flash light always, but can turn on other equipment instead. It is all about the frequency and the vibrational energy of the item and the spirits. Once they figure it out, they love talking to us with the equipment and they have a lot of fun doing it as well.
