Excerpt from Chapter 10: Cook Hotel, discussing the events of an investigation by C.A.S.P.E.R. into the hauntings at the historic building...
‘I was able to connect with three of the party involved in that experiment. What follows is a recap of what they shared. The stories may be a bit different from what you may have seen on their show, because for that they all need to collaborate or they would not share the information. I got the real skinny on what these members saw and heard - and also learned that some of the party got so scared they had to leave the project.
‘In the theater an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) was recorded in answer to the question, "Is someone here? Try to speak?" They caught the reply of an old man in a very deep voice: "I never did that before."’

The television shows produced by Spooks to Spirits are primarily used for fund-raising. The first show, focusing on the town of Lafayette, was premiered in the theatre at 3rd Street Pizza Co., absolutely free for all viewers, and the event was used to gather food donations for YCAP.
The McMinnville episode is currently in production. Clips from the Lafayette video can be viewed on the Spooks to Spirits YouTube channel.
