The Black Forest Haunting
The Black Forest haunting is considered to be one
of the strong
est and most inexplicable hauntings on record. When Steve Lee and
his wife Beth discovered a large log home in the Black Forest region of northern Colorado
Within a few weeks of signing the papers on their dream home,
strange things started to occur. Lights and household appliances began to turn
on and off, and they heard what sounded like people running across their roof. At
night, the couple could hear orchestra music playing and chains rattling. Their
sons complained of shadowy figures and odd lights in their room, too.
The entire family began to suffer with burning eyes and throats
from untraceable chemical odors. Steve Lee quickly decided someone was playing
tricks to spook them from their new home, so he decided to fight back. He
installed a video surveillance security system with motion detectors to
retaliate. However, the system would sound alarms when no one was around.
There were also sixty-two unexplainable break-ins at the property.
The local sheriff’s department opened an investigation in early 1993 but could
never find evidence of any crime. Steve noticed that security photos and videos
had odd streaks of light in them, and faces even appeared on some. He purchased
a variety of cameras and continued to capture unexplainable light phenomena
such as beams, floating balls, and glowing outlines of humans and animals. Steve
and Beth finally relented that some paranormal phenomenon might be responsible
for the unexplained events. When 1995 rolled around, they contacted the “Sightings”
television show for help.
A film crew was dispatched to their home and documented what the
Lees had reported. Popular ghost buster, Echo Bodine, accompanied the film crew
and immediately identified what she claimed was the presence of a threatening
male spirit in the living room. Thermal imaging cameras captured the ghost, and
Bodine said it considered the home to be his. Bodine said she felt the presence
of numerous spirits, and the house had a monumental level of paranormal
activity.
While the film crew was there, cameras flipped off their tripods
and fell to the floor for no apparent reason. While Beth Lee and Echo Bodine
were sitting at the kitchen table talking, Beth felt something trying to hold
her down, and a member of the film crew claimed she felt a spirit go into her
in what she believed was an effort to take over her body.
When the “Sightings” crew returned several months later, they
brought along psychic investigator, Peter James. Upon his arrival, he sensed a
powerful psychic energy vortex and ultimately felt that a closet on the second
floor was the gateway to the “other side.” A nearby mirror frequently reflected
apparitions and floating faces and James believed those were spirits searching
for the life they once had. Many pictures of the mirror were enhanced and
showed countless faces gazing back.
A Hopi shaman claimed the area is a “rainbow vortex,” one of just
a few psychic energy spots on earth that supposedly connects this world with
the next. Scientists, electromagnetic experts, quantum physicists, and the best
paranormal researchers in the country have been to the Lee home, and all agree
it is a very active site. Some believe an energy coming from under the house is
responsible for the activity.
In more recent years, it has been reported that Robert and Beth
Lee came to accept their home as it is and have consistently declined any
offers of further investigation. They are reported to have said they wish to
live quietly and raise their family in peace now.
