As I was alone fliming the back section of the train car, I panned across a cabin that and as I turn to go, an object comes down out of the top of the car and reverses direction and flies back up at tremendous speed.  It appears to undulate or flap.  Moth? You don't see alot of moths in early spring in western Pennsylvania, andI don't remember seeing a single one, but still a possibility.  It looked more like a bat but if so it is a very fast rare albino bat.  You decide.

Before he invested in america, Charles Shwabb invested in trains, lots of them!  This picture was taken inside his very own luxury car, including his and her bedrooms with access to a complete bathroom.  The inside is being renovated and will be on display in the future!  Thanks John, you made us welcome and helped us do what we do.  Find Ghosts and talk to them.

THANKS TO LARRY FOR ALL HIS SUPPORT!!!
This fine historic building started its life as the Pennsylvania Railroad Headquarters many years ago!  This was one of the busiest train yards in the country at one time, now all that is left are ghosts.  The ghosts of men and  Anytime you go into a site with a film crew, you chase away most anyone willing to talk to you.  So with smaller numbers we went in and wow did this place ever deliver!  Outside in the yard are old rail cars from the past.  Each car tells its own story and each story has its own ghosts. 
INside the building looks pretty normal, but do not be fooled.  Every floor of this building gives up evidence and every room is a possible contact point.  This is where I saw my first shadow figure, in the basement.  IT was so solid and real, I knew it had to be one of our guys who was missing.  Doug and I both saw it and when I saw it, I thought there he is and he is wearing a black jacket, now I have got him!  Then I ran as fast as I could to the end of the hall where I had seen the shadow go into and when I got there it was a closet with no other exit.  I was stunned.  I was sure it was this guy playing a joke on us, but it was not him.
So the next time you are in Altoona PA, stop by and say hello to Larry and the people at the museum!
