coloradoan - Some visitors to Loveland’s historic Feed & Grain building recently encountered a bit of paranormal activity.Last year, a volunteer for Novo Restoration, a group trying to preserve the building, saw power surges on his iPod while he was inside the building. Because of the surges, he said he was sure a ghost was causing the power spikes, said Ashley Kasprzak, a Novo Restoration board member.
To investigate this claim, a Loveland paranormal group recently visited the building and confirmed the volunteer’s feelings.
After conducting research at the historic building, Third Eye Paranormal co-leader Karen Richards and other members of her group used equipment and scientific data to determine a little girl was killed by a family member at the historic Feed & Grain building, Richards said.
Richards said the little girl may have been murdered at the 115-year-old Feed & Grain building, 130 W. Third St. However, no report was ever filed regarding a missing child to correspond with this theory, Richards said.
“We have nothing to verify it as far as official,” she said. “We have a lot of evidence that indeed we were having an encounter.”
During a tour of the building, the paranormal group made recordings of the little girl communicating with the team through walkie talkies. Richards said an eerie voice responded to them by saying, “Hello, hello.”
“It’s definitely a little girls’ voice,” Richards said. “It sounds different than the type of voice you have come through from a walkie talkie.”
Richards and Sonia Marken led the investigation at the Feed & Grain building. At one point, the group also picked up the sounds of a girl humming, Richards said.
When the spirit was nearby, an ambient thermometer the team used in the investigation dropped 20 degrees, Richards said.
Members of the group could sense the girl was hiding from somebody, and the girl told the investigators that she was hiding from a male relative, Richards said.
“We just asked for some protection around her and then we crossed her over,” Richards said.
Richards said she has been psychic all her life. However, the Third Eye Paranormal group does not use its psychic abilities during its investigations.
Instead, members sense things and corroborate feelings with scientific evidence, Richards said.
Third Eye Paranormal is unlike many paranormal groups in that once it confirms a ghost’s presence it helps cross the spirit to the other side, Richards said.
This free service is available to community members who are concerned a ghost is haunting them or terrorizing their children, Richards said.
“Some children (are) being frightened in their own homes,” she said. “We really respond quickly when there’s children involved. … “We try to give our client scientific evidence.”
