Ambrose Hall haunting investigated
Adam Hurlburt
Issue date: 11/1/07 Section: Features
At around 11:30 p.m., two knocks are heard from the math hallway. Kent, Kelly and myself all turn to look, radio the happening and head over to the hall wall to try and figure out a reasonable explanation for this noise. We knock on different surfaces in different places, we check for objects that may have fallen, we examine ceiling tiles and light fixtures and find nothing.
Before Joseph meets us to write down this happening, the girls radio that they heard two knock-like noises on the banisters of the main staircase. Interesting.
Joseph records the knocking noises and Kent, Kelly and I head back to our post on the West side of the floor. After sitting around for some time, another knock noise similar to those we had experienced before is heard. This one seems to originate from just around the corner of our investigation post. All three of us make our way down the hall to begin another debunking mission. At this point, Kelly notices a cold chill as he walks past room 430. Kent and I walk over and experience the same feeling. There is an area around ten feet in diameter around this door where one feels cold. I distinctly remember the hair on my arms and the back of my neck standing straight up in this area.
Kent and Kelly take out their infrared temperature sensors to see if this is a legitimate cold spot, the temperature, however, largely reads the same as the rest of the room.
We radio the others and Joseph comes to catalog this as he experiences it himself. Could it have been an open window on the other side of that door? Likely, however all office doors were locked, we had no way of finding out, unfortunately.
After around another half hour or so, Joseph gets on the radio and reports the smell of what he believes to be Myrrh in the Easternmost hallway. The very same stuff that is burnt in an urn in some catholic masses. Kent, Kelly and I go down the hallway to check it out. Sure enough, it smells a lot like incense. My gut reaction is to open the refrigerator door in the lounge at the end of the hall. Negative. No exotic cheeses or wines were to be found.

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