Subj: [ParanormalFlorida] Last Night's & Today's Investigation Report   Date: 6/10/2005 7:59:43 PM Eastern Daylight Time  From: AngelOfThyNight@aol.com   To: ParanormalBuffalo@yahoogroups.com,  paranormalghostsociety@yahoogroups.com,  Paranormalflorida@yahoogroups.com,  ParanormalGhostSociety@groups.msn.com,  ParanormalGhostSocietyConnections@yahoogroups.com   Perhaps this is one of the more crazier reports or maybe not. But I felt that this report shows a lot of tenacity about our team and how hard we work to bring you the truth. We often as investigators put ourselves at risk to bring you such stories but not only that it takes persistence, resilience, team work and commitment into what we do.  Last night I had plans for us to do around 5 investigations surpassing the 400th place and coming up on our 500th investigation. We did not reach that milestone but we did do one very giant investigation full of adventuring, hiking, and much more. I mean very few groups dare to take journeys like this but the one thing that we can say is we completed one hellacious night.  Lets start with the good news that I am home safe and well as the rest of the team or should I say the good news is that NASA has banned us from being anywhere such as Kennedy Space Center, Canaveral Seashore, Merritt Island etc yeah but wait their is more to the story so please do read further below as our journey to Cape Canaveral a series of islands and mystery begins here. Turtle Mound & Cape Canaveral Turtle Mound was our first destinations of last night and our last  of the evening as I just got home about an hour ago. Yeah I know pretty long investigation lol.  Some of you may even find this report humorous cause you will wonder how we kept pushing on or how someone could have so many obstacles in one day lol. We started off at Turtle Mound it was pretty breezy and the mosquito's would not let down. Of course the whole area is called Mosquito Lagoon where millions of these bloodsucking insects breed. We walked up the board walk and it just kept increasing higher. The foliage was so thick that we could not see a thing it was very dark even. We did not bring all our equipment so we really had no lights climbing one of the countries largest mounds.  I did not sense an odd feelings but about half way up we had a nice view over looking the water. We also could hear the waves crashing onto the shore from the ocean. It was very peaceful. Eventually we did reach the top where it split off into a Y where you could have scenic views over the water. We were fairly high up and the cliffs below were quite steep. I did not feel any activity pick up till on our way down things became extremely active. I could feel some cold spot activity and the felt as if something was following us. We heard crawling on the ground near the boardwalk their was no animal so we think it was ghostly. But we could feel a strong presence and of course we probably passed by it like Lee said and it just became curious. I would imagine things would with a mound that was created during the time of the pyramids.  We hiked back to the car in search of another mound but we missed the turn off so we kept straight. Right away we approached some guy in his truck. He had a light on in the back with the tailgate down I believe. Behind the plastic look like two people cause I seen heads and arms. But you see the guy kind of panicked and was holding his head down as we passed then he started to chase us so we did lose him to avoid confrontation. But here In Florida people in the middle of nowhere usually spells trouble. We ended up off roading taking a very hilly dirt road sometimes with brush five feet in height. It was fairly rough as we were on this narrow peninsula surrounding by the Ocean and lagoons. I commend Lee cause he is the best off road driver I have ever seen and he really got us fairly through alot of the deep treads and brush. It was like a safari and we even seen a bobcat just staring us down. At times we were on various islands and peninsulas including one which the dirt road ended at so we hiked for awhile. I mean it was so dark all you could see is all these various ponds, lagoons and brush all over. It was pretty amazing how far we traveled out into the middle of nowhere. Eventually we took another dirt road and were unable to stop cause of soft sand which really cause Lee's car to over heat and eventually something blew so yes we were stuck on an island. Actually a series of Islands such as Watery Death and Shipwreck island etc etc... It really was sad that we broke down cause we were so close to making it to a paved road. But its the chance you take when you investigate and of course anything that is technological is also made to break.  But we were dead in the water so now it was time to just hike on foot and find civilization. We packed our backpacks and gear up had a little dim light on when all of sudden a chopper with probably double propellers flew right over us low. The chopper was black I believe unmarked probably US Air Force and as Lee even mentioned it had hardly any lights on it. I shut the light off quickly and they started circling around. Strangely they did not use any spotlights and eventually they flew away from us.  Miles in the way I could see Kennedy Space Center and Launch pad. Despite the many miles we were away from it the place was just brilliant looking at night. It looked large regardless of how far we were away. As we walked it seemed like Kennedy Space Center stayed the same size. But we must had went for miles surrounded by lakes on one side and the ocean on the other. Their was no moon out and on top of that some wicked storm clouds were out in the ocean. We also were concerned cause of the tropical storm on its way so yeah being stuck out on some islands can be intense. We seen a few things on site in the restricted area I will not disclose them cause I do not want it coming back on me since according to our government all people are terrorist. But lets say it was a very odd structure I seen back here we could not make out what it was even for.  After walking so far we all went up onto the beach. The mosquito's were bad we were getting bit on average 5 mosquito's a second. All of us were developing red sores quickly all over our body. It was like a swarm of locusts. Jason's legs were bleeding and I was just kicking myself cause I forgot to bring some Off.  Things were not looking good here as I could take my hand wipe my arm and mosquito's were rolling down it by the gobs. These mosquito's were very large and plump as well.  Eventually we took a break we went right up onto the Space Coast itself not to far from the shuttle launches. We all just took a nap right on the sand. I think I fell to the soft sand and just passed out looking at the stars. The tide was coming in but still not enough to reach us. We woke up then we pushed on eventually the surroundings started to change. We entered some bogs and swamps. You could hear these giant frogs and hear gators all around us. Lee mentioned looking near the road and seeing some eyes look at us then close of a curious alligator.  The swamps smelled bad with sulphur and we were away from the ocean so things became very dark as the road twisted and turned.  At one time we heard a sound in the woods that sounded like a hiss or rattling perhaps. Maybe it was a snake but its hard to speculate. We even seen a sign that said bio tech lab I do not even what to know what they are doing their maybe creating mutant mosquito's or some other strange creatures on the island. Eventually we came out to a rangers headquarters the guys got some water we took a break. We went up to an old ranger asked him how we get to town cause we broke down. The ranger then turned on us and instead of helping us he called in the whole damn platoon. The air force showed up, a cop, fishing and wild life and the NASA Swat team. Who knows who else but we had SUVs and everything else which to me was really funny. I laughed to myself because again our great government turns on its own people. But after awhile we were guarded by two straight faced SWAT team members for NASA you think these guys would smile.  You could tell the one was bored cause he pretended to grab his pistol and shoot a bird in a showdown while the other one was playing with my hunting knife then my sword. They took our wooden swords, my silver sword, my hunting knife, and other things loaded it up into their vehicle. Some how they felt threatened by a group of hikers with typical everyday supplies. But to me its just a bunch of bored ass clowns. Hell the one law enforcement officer started feeling up on another right in front of us so I do not even want to know what was going on. But their was alot of whispering and talk eventually they even ran our records. Instead of being really a help to us they were more like finding out what to do with us. Guess its a sin to get lost or break down these days. Eventually they had us sign a form stating we cannot ever be near Kennedy Space Center let alone its parks, beaches etc kind of lame if you ask me. Its not going to stop me regardless cause honestly the space center and its surrounding wilderness is something many should see. But eventually after we signed the forms they escorted us off Cape Canaveral and dropped us off at the side of the road. They put all our equipment far away got in their vehicles and told us once they drive off we were allowed to pick it up. They got guns and we had a few tiny knives sheesh what is wrong with that picture. While we were being questioned it was funny cause Aaron asked the officer if she would shoot to maim or shoot to kill she just grinned real big. Then we got into all these adventurous things about the area right in front of one of the NASA Swat members and he just gave us dirty looks. The thing about it is we know that something is being hidden here and maybe that was the whole purpose of this investigation to prove it. You hear all the time about UFOs sighted near Kennedy Space Center. But what caught my eye most is that its all Indian ground from 2000 BC so it is likely their would be some very advanced type of spirits. Of course something strange caught my eye with the law enforcement officer. She gave us a warning and said she is surprise that we came out of those woods safely. She also mentioned that one late night driving around she seen a creature about 8 foot tall with lots of hair looking at her. But she did pass hints to us that their are things out on those islands and yes we walked probably 10 to 20 miles through this so perhaps something out their was watching us. But even the soldiers were kind of surprised that we walked through that area at night and got out safely. So I do not know what they are hiding but since they do not want anybody up their at night and keep this place very locked down its obvious something is behind hidden here.  We were dropped off at the border of Titusville and had to walk across this big bridge which swivels for boats to come through. So we were stuck waiting.  We also seen some sharks out in the water that was pretty wicked. At this time Lee was limping, Jason was half asleep and Aaron was just in another world cause he did not have a ciggarette. Eventually arriving into town we found a CVS and I washed up in the bathroom. Then we used a phone at 7-11 and set camp like a bunch of homeless guys. Everybody was either laying down on the walkway or just sitting down.  Eventually we made our way down this road a couple miles carrying all this equipment to try and find a bus station. We could not find it so we asked a motel and everybody we talked to said its just a little further. I stopped at a church to ask a lady in the office if maybe they could give us a ride to another nearby town where perhaps a metro bus could get us home. She turned us away and did not even offer some form of help. I guess this is why I chose not to believe in religion cause honestly trying to find a good person at that time seemed impossible. When your hair is messed, your covered in dirt, sand etc and your limping cause you been walking for miles it does tend to draw attention. Some of the attention is people rolling their eyes or running the other way.  We made it eventually to the bus station if you want to call it that. I bought 4 greyhound tickets inside for the team so we could make it to Daytona Beach at least which is semi closer to home. Then we spent over two hours in the hot Florida sun outside waiting for the bus. It was crazy cause Jason sat near an ice machine outside curled in a ball, Aaron was sleeping outside on the bench and Lee was just spread on on his back sleeping on a concrete walkway.  I sat their the two hours meditating and looking at girls hahaha I figure what the hell do I got to lose. Eventually the bus came and we got into Daytona it was a pretty long ride but we made it. They gave us a little hassle on my sword in cargo but he let it slide. Once we arrived in Daytona we had to walk a few blocks to a Votran Bus Station which would take us to anywhere in the county. We barely made the bus but I got their and held it for the guys. We were all so fatigued having two heavy backpacks adds up.  We got on the bus and the lady dropped us off at the mall but she did not help us with our transfer so we ended up once again sitting out on the concrete waiting for another public transportation bus to show. Aaron stopped other buses asking when does ours come or where do we wait and they all had different answers. Security was giving us a hard time which was in my opinion rude since we were waiting at a bus stop.  Eventually the bus came and we got on but the bus driver was being a jerk to all of us in front of a bus load of people. He was arguing over our transfers being late when in reality we were waiting for a bus and it somehow missed us. We explained and he let it go  bragging about how we should be paying for the ride etc yeah people really do not care that you walked 20 miles in the woods and want to get home to your kids. The long bus ride up to DeLand was rough a group of mentally ill people boarded and sat all around us. One guy was pulling on his airs, another one was making faces at Jason, another one was acting like a monkey and I really cannot seem to emphasize how much worst the day could have gotten cause this just topped it off.  We arrived in town and had to take another bus and the driver would not give us transfers Its to bad that he will be losing his job because of it. But he told us ha ha your walking home not very nice. But we managed to get on the other bus and we were stuck paying which in my opinion was just another obstacle. It started to rain a little bit more to bad it did not rain while hiking we could have used a cool down from all them mosquito bites. So in conclusion to the report we faced alot of hardships on this investigation. But at least now I know more then ghost haunt them shores. We were very fortunate to have came home safe and let alone to even be home. I have not slept in two days really so I am just so full of life right now lol. So full that I am going to take a nice long nap.  But being out their on the streets scrounging for change or help really makes you understand what a homeless person has to go through. Cause I noticed or could not help notice how many people were rude to us or looked at us like a bunch of bums. So you see sometimes people only see what is outside. But I could not have asked for a better team to be stuck on some island then with anybody else.  Their will be some investigations not this Saturday but next we have a couple nice things planned.  I am sure this adventure will go into the books as something we will pass on to our kids how we broke down on some island and how we were interrogated lol.  The main lesson from investigation is that you learn from your experiences.  I did not take alot of photos but we did alot of hiking through the area and their is no doubt in my mind something odd happens up in those woods.  Despite that we might have Malaria or West Nile we are optimistic about our next investigation lol and we do hope that the US Airforce enjoys Lee's Jeep. Despite all the mishaps it actually was so tragic that it was funny we still tried to make the best out of it. I am pretty convinced that many mysteries surround this gloomy place.  I was not going to include the part with the Airforce and Swat team but I figured this would give you some perspective on what we have to go through sometimes to bring you such stories. But also it just goes to show you that our own government does cover things up whether it would be UFO Activity or something as simple as the Florida Skunk Ape hiding on some reserve. I mean they will do anything to keep us out of here when honestly we really were doing nothing serious here. I will have eventually the trespassing warnings overturned since I found a glitch in the system boy they sure are going to hate me haha.  But it also shows you that the freedoms we once enjoyed no longer exist even for a paranormal investigator we have some of the most difficult jobs of all. Nonetheless operation complete and another great adventure brought to you by PGS. Rick PGS Founder
