Ambrose Hall haunting investigated

"One of the most important questions on our list is, are you on any drugs," said IPART member Kent Amerine. "We've gotten responses back that say 'see list.'"
Once it has been established that the potential client is sane, IPART sends a member or two out to the investigation location in order to get a lay of the area, figure out which equipment to bring, and figure out how many team members will be necessary.
In the case of St. Ambrose, everything checked out and the investigation was on. A representative from SAU met with IPART members Joe Harris, Kent Amerine, Kelly Canterb, Kim Marske, Michelle Villa, Terri Villa-Engelkens, and Joseph Mullenix October 20 at 10 p.m.
The team brought an astonishing array of equipment for the investigation including: digital video cameras, infrared video adaptors, digital voice recorders, electro magnetic field meters, super sensitive parabolic microphones, and laptop computers.
After about an hour of setup, all the lights to the fourth floor were shut off and the investigation was on its way.
The group split up into four sections, two people on the East side of building in the lounge of room 403, two people near the main staircase, and Kent, Kelly, and myself in the West side office annex.
One team member, Joseph, roamed the halls as an archivist, meeting up with people whom experienced something odd and writing it down on the record.
After a few moments of hushed conversation and radio silence, sitting here in the dark, the first call comes in. Some of the girls are getting funny EMF readings.
The electro magnetic field meter, or EMF, measures the level of electro magnetic waves in a certain area. These waves are put out by anything that is supplied with an electrical current. It is widely held, however, that a sudden spike or gradual climb of an EMF meter in an area where readings had been static before is a sign of a coming increase in paranormal activity. This time the EMF is going off because of the wiring under the floor near the main staircase.

I thought this debate was about them, as opposed to featuring them. Whoops.
