Hardy Hotel gets haunting=20 report
CHRIS MURPHY
Staff = Writer
 

Paranormal experts say the Old Hardy Hotel Antique Mall = isn=92t=20 haunted by one ghost =96 it=92s haunted by many.

Investigator Alan Silva, founder of Arkansas Paranormal=20 Investigations, traveled back to Hardy Sept. 8 to reveal his findings of = the=20 Aug. 25 investigation inside the old hotel.

=93We=92re not out to call everything haunted, but with = the evidence=20 we collected we=92re pretty sure this building is,=94 he said. =93We = allow the=20 evidence we capture to speak for itself. I really think that with the = proof we=20 got there, that there is some paranormal activity going on.=94

During the seven-hour investigation, team members from = API and=20 Paranormal Studies of Arkansas set up the building with video cameras = and sound=20 recording devices. Team members also took 694 photos.

=93We got a lot more than we expected to get,=94 Silva = said.=94

Some of it=92s still being analyzed.=94

The most sensitive members of the team sensed four to = five spirits=20 in the building. They were all playful and nonthreatening, Silva said. = The=20 strongest impression was from a young woman in her 20s. **=93We even got = the=20 impression that some were happy to be there,=94 he said.

Although some strange occurrences took place while the = team was=20 conducting the investigation at the building, nothing prepared them for = what=20 they would find while reviewing their equipment.

While reviewing the sound recordings, investigators = heard=20 something they didn=92t hear while they were actually conducting the=20 investigation. They heard a woman call =93Amy,=94 one of the = investigators names,=20 Silva said.

The team also took photographs in which unexplained = shadows=20 appeared. Also a reddish haze was photographed in another room of the = building,=20 but the highlight of the investigation was found in video footage. An = image of a=20 human like figure appeared in the upstairs hallway of the building, = Silva said.=20

=93We=92re still not able to explain what that image = is,=94 he said.=20 =93It=92s definitely not normal, so it=92s paranormal. It has all the = makings of being=20 some type of apparition. It has all the makings of it, but we can=92t = clean it up=20 enough to say for sure that it is a ghost.=94

The building is owned by Steve and Marcia Weaver who = contacted API=20 after experiencing strange activity in the old building they have owned = since=20 April 2005.

The couple has often left lights on at night and when = they return=20 in the morning some of the lights have been turned off while others are = turned=20 on, Marcia said. Also, the open and closed sign has been changed. = They often=20 hear footsteps upstairs after they close for the evening.

The Weavers thought they knew the reason for the strange = occurrences =96 the hotel was haunted.**Before they purchased the = building, the=20 couple learned it had been a hotel, a boarding house, a bordello and the = site of=20 a murder.

The Weavers heard stories that a soldier arrived in = Hardy by bus=20 and stayed overnight at the hotel in the early 1940s. During his brief = stay, the=20 soldier went to a nearby bar and got into an argument with some of the = patrons.=20 After he had returned to the hotel for the night, two men came into his = room.=20 The two men then beat him to death, Marcia said.

During the API investigation, the sound equipment picked = up on=20 heavy breathing while one investigator tried to speak to the spirits in = the=20 soldiers=92 room. Despite the heavy breathing, Silva said the team = thinks the=20 soldier=92s spirit has moved on.

Although the Weavers found out their unusual happenings = weren=92t=20 caused by the soldier=92s ghost, they say they couldn=92t be more = pleased with the=20 results of the investigation.

=93It=92s unbelievable,=94 Marcia said. =93They said = there are at least=20 five spirits here. I still can=92t believe it.=94

Marcia said she and the investigators think the female = spirits are=20 likely those of young women who worked in the building when it served as = a=20 bordello. Spirits aren=92t always detected where a person was born or = died, Marcia=20 said. Spirits may attach themselves to places and things they loved in = their=20 lives, she said.

For almost two weeks after the investigation, something = new=20 happened at the hotel. A chandelier left on 24 hours a day began turning = off=20 sometime between when the store closed in the evenings and opened the = next=20 morning. That has since stopped.

=93We think they were just letting us know they were = there and that=20 things are cool,=94 Marcia said.

Marcia said she doesn=92t feel threatened or scared = because of what=20 may or may not be in her building. Instead, she is proud of the = outcome.

=93It=92s just too weird,=94 she said. =93The = investigation gave it (all=20 of the claims) some legitimacy. I=92m glad of that.=94

Since word spread about the investigation, Marcia said = more locals=20 have stopped by her shop =96 not necessarily to shop but to look around = the old=20 hotel.

Another visitor found more than just antiques and = collectibles=20 inside the building. One woman turned =93white as a ghost=94 as she = crossed the=20 threshold into the building, Marcia said. After entering the store and = getting=20 her bearing, she said, =91I can=92t believe how many spirits are in = here,=92 Marcia=20 said.

The woman then entered a back room on the ground floor = of the=20 building and said spirits were playing cards inside and one of the = players was=20 going to get hurt, Marcia said. It just so happens, one of the reasons = for the=20 murder of the soldier is thought to be a card game; however, the game = was=20 thought to have taken place across the street at an old saloon.

Natives of Hardy have since told the Weavers that the = windowless=20 room was often the site for illegal card games, Marcia said. Because no = one=20 could see inside the room and it was accessible by a back door, it made = for the=20 perfect spot.

Silva said he is pleased with the outcome of the = investigation. In=20 fact the team wants to come back to the building in February or March = for a=20 follow up investigation.

=93It was a very interesting investigation and we = thoroughly enjoyed=20 it,=94 he said.=93This investigation yielded a lot more anomalies than = most of the=20 investigations that we=92ve been on.=94

To see more information about the investigation visit = the API Web=20 site at www.paranormalbeliever.com. A video and additional photos are = available=20 at this site.
