Yeah, Scott, we've had several volunteer work weekends down there, in anticipation and preparation for ICS. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything and no paranormals incidents to report. We did experience several reports of strange and unusual sounds and singing, mainly from the female members of the Aggie (A.S.S.) contingent, and other sounds and odors, mainly from the male members of the Aggie (A.S.S.) contingent! 8^)> Just kidding on the latter! They were great and helped us accomplish a lot of work and move a lot of dirt! Also, the "liquids" were confined to the surface and observation tower and LED. Mark

We all know about cavers and their (liquid) spirits! Shame on you cavers for getting these investigators all excited with your "instances of moving light phenomena". Did y'all use LEDs or carbide?

According to Ms. Foster, "Our latest investigation was not quite as active as the first two, but it was fascinating nonetheless. As paranormal investigators, we accept the fact that there will be more activity at particular times than at others." For the first time, Austin Paranormal "went dark" during this third investigation. The first two investigations had been conducted under lighted conditions, since phenomena has frequently been reported in full daylight or when electricity was being used. Their efforts were rewarded when they cap tured some excellent audio evidence <http://www.austinparanormal.com/Investigations02.html> , including responses to questions and an entity apparently commenting "they're back" when the group returned from a break. Whoever is present in the caves seems to be able to recognize the members of this group and comment on their activities. Ms. Foster reports that one of the group's goals is to identify the spirits inhabiting the caves and their historical research in this area remains ongoing. Personal experiences from the third investigation included two separate instances of moving light phenomena. Unfortunately, it was not captured on video. Investigators also reported the sound of "scratching" on the walls, running footsteps, muted conversations, and a type of "roar" that was captured on one of the recorders. As always, Austin Paranormal attempted to find "non paranormal" explanations for all of these events and only included them in the official case record as "possibly paranormal" after thorough investigation of alternative causes. Austin Paranormal Group is planning additional investigations at Longhorn Cavern, which has proven to be a very haunted location. Its rich history and active inhabitants should continue to20result in impressive evidence for some time to come.
