Investigation: Undisclosed Goverment Building

Prologue-While on a trip to Austin, Texas the team was visiting several buildings in the downtown area and recieved permission to do an informal investigation at this location. Visiting an area called the Vault Rooms.

Historical Background-This building is located in Austin, Texas. Originally designed by Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed from 1882–88 under the direction of civil engineer Lindsay Walker, and a $75 million underground extension was completed in 1993. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.

Reported Paranormal Activity-Many employees and staff discussed with us the apparition of a woman dressed in red who frequents the stairs and the upper balconey. Also, voices have been heard, things are moved around, and shadow people have been sighted. A maintenance employee told us of his personal experience. One day while cleaning the women's bathroom in the East Wing a woman's voice answered him from the restroom preventing him from cleaning it. So he waited for approx. 10 minutes and then knocked and walked in to see if anyone was indeed in the restroom since no-one had walked out. The maintenance employee and his co-worker found no one in the restroom. Both employees had acknowledged hearing the woman's voice and stated things like this always happened.

Investigation Team- Rudy, Minerva, Veronique, and Zelina.

The Investigation Details-Due to the large area to be covered in this building and the presence of other people in the hallways the team concentrated their investigation in one or two rooms with the most reported activity. The Vault Area is said to have been the scene of a crime and armed with this historical information the team investigated this area heavily. Multiple digital audio recorders were used, Digital cameras, 35MM Cameras, video camera, and a Digital EMF Reader were used.

Findings-No Video or Photo anomalies were found. Several locations of EMF readings from 0 to 2.5 were recorded. One EVP was recorded during this investigation. After analysis we believe it says "I wish I could" in reply to a question asked by Investigator Rudy.
