Next Meeting, Darnely Mill Ruins and more!

As it stands we will hold our next meeting on Friday July 13th for 8pmest in Hamilton. If you are interested in attending please email us and we'll get you the full details on location. We will also conduct a public haunt as well depending on weather conditions. This will be the last meeting be for SOPS heads out to Louisville, Kentucky to conduct a private investigation of the Waverly Hills Sanatarium with Bluegrass Ghost Chasers on August 5th.

A few members of the SOPS team visited two locations this past Friday evening, those being the site of the Old Dundas Train Station in Dundas, Ontario which was the scene of a horrific train accident in 1934, which killed around 18 people and injuring several more. Once there, only the bridge remained. Though the only real evidence we collected are some EVPs, there were strange noises which in the most part were due to animals.

The team then headed out to the ruins of Darnley Mills, and old paper mill devastated by two fires which eventually just left it abandoned in the early 1940's. While there, there was certainly some interesting things happening, from mysterious footsteps being heard, to faint moaning or dull screaming to the classic low hum often reported, though that being pretty much the vibration from the running river nearby. Still, no real evidence was yet to be collected from the audio and video taken that night. More details will be added to our investigations and evidence pages as they are collected.

DeForest Clean up and new home investigation.

Members of SOPS conducted a volunteer clean up on this past Saturday June 9th of the abandoned pioneer cemetery called DeForest. We shot a short video blog which can be viewed HERE! It's truly sad to see a heritage site like this just wit away unattended. We have been researching and conducting EVP sessions there for over 2 years now and it continues to be a very hot spot indeed.

Later in the day, we also held our first annual SOPS BBQ which turned out quite nicely. Pictures can be viewed on our official site in the evidence and a gallery areas!

Also, coming up in the near future, the group will be conducting yet another private home investigation coming up July 6th as well as taking a trip down to Louisville, Kentucky for an overnight investigation of Waverly Hills coming up on Sunday August 5th. We will be apart of a joint venture with a local group called Bluegrass Ghost Chasers..SO, stay tuned for more on those events!

The group is still looking to find a home in the Burlington, Ontario area for our monthly meetings. if anyone has any suggestions please let us know, contact us at sopsinvestigations@gmail.com .
