I know there have been multiple threads about this location here, but it has been awhile since the last one...
In 1912 Eight people were murdered while they slept (Mr. & Mrs. Josiah Moore, the 4 Moore Children and two neighbor girls who asked to stay there after a late church meeting.) The murders were never solved...

The location appears on many "10 most haunted in the US" lists. Many investigators claim that data points to both a haunting by the Moore children AND the continued presence of a 'malevolence' in the house - possibly a 'Negative Energy' imprint.

At the end of this month, my team (Finally) is investigating the infamous "Villisca Axe Murder House". We will be posting live updates all night. (and hopefully uploading photos and video, bandwidth permitting)

Looking forward to reading and seeing your post on it.

It will be nice to see a non-tv group check it out and present whatever is gathered without sensationalizing it...I hope.

Are you implying that TV 'teams' may not be completely realistic in the portrayal of events occuring during an investigation?

[jimmary]

I think shows sometimes over-play the history or lore of the site for the sake of the investigation. The shows may also connect every little unexplained happening they experience to a haunting. Even some of my favorite shows are guilty of sensationalizing. It aggravates me, even if it's in the editing of scenes just before commerical breaks. I understand about vieweer draw and such, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.
Don't get me wrong; I'm a believer, but I'm not a "spirit behind every chair" believer. Common sense HAS to be used. Hell, I was tapped on my right foot three times last night. I awakened thinking it was my son telling me he couldn't sleep. Nothing or no one was there. Now as it a spirit? I don't know: I'm cautious about experiences when some is just awakening or is brought out of sleep by an experience, such as was mine last night. Dreaming, R.E.M, etc. can all play a part in a perceived experience. So when I see shows that believes every orb is spiritual, my perception of their credibility sinks. This is just how I feel.

I am right with you - I enjoy watching the TV para-tainment shows occasionally, but it is very important that we remember that it is in the financial best interest of everyone working with the show that they find compelling 'evidence' EVERY time out...so while I won't accuse anyone of outright fakery, there are definitely things to be wary of whenever we see something.
We will be working with a group from Audio Nation Radio on this investigation and they will be producing a documentary from our findings, but we are all on the same page about showing a true representation of the investigation.

You're on the mark, Aesalon; I like the way you sound.
Good luck with the investigation and safe "hunting". I'm looking forward to whatever you post of your findings.
