Motion Detection |
||||
| During our vigil at the Station Hotel we made
extensive use of motion detection equipment. In this instance we used a
high quality web camera connected to a laptop computer using a piece of
software called Supervision Cam. This software constantly monitors the
image from the web cam and should any changes be seen, saves a series of
Jpeg images. Although most of the images are far from paranormal, during
our time at the Station Hotel, more over 500 images were captured. As we suspected that there had originally been
another door in the room, we left the camera pointing at the wall for
three separate one-hour sessions. During these sessions we were left with
a series of nine pictures, which although is more than likely a trick of
the light, almost seems to show the shadow of a child standing on the bed,
in the corner of the room. As there had been a function taking place in the
hotel Ballroom we decided to leave our last and longest motion detection
session until after 3:00AM to give the party revellers time to settle down
and try to minimise any outside interference as our intention was to set
the web cam in the hallway where in the past children have been heard
playing. We have often wondered what effect different moon
phases have on paranormal activity and unfortunately this was not quite
what we meant and certainly cannot be classed as paranormal. In the past we have also been lucky to capture
streaks of light flashing across the screen some we have since been able
to dismiss as natural. In this case we can defiantly say that the streak
is natural and not paranormal. Although the participants of the party in the Ballroom were in the main skeptics, I think it is quite fair to say that they themselves may have given someone a scare. There were several other incidents when the motion detection software was triggered by other (human) residents passing through the corridor but this last series of pictures, taken at 7:39am over a duration of seven seconds, appears to show a shadow passing along the corridor. As there was very little wind outside it is difficult to believe that a change in cloud cover could be held responsible but this of course cannot be dismissed. |
