Audio of Wren’s Nest “Ghosts”
Occasionally we’re contacted by ghost hunters who want to snoop around the Wren’s Nest.
I’m not really “into” ghosts; however, the girl who initially approached me to ask about ghost hunts was pretty cute so I said, “Oh… alright.”
Listen, I never claimed to be a professional.
Since then, from time to time we’ve let ghost hunters check out the house, and the latest team just returned with their findings–mostly audio taken with very sensitive devices.
They seemed pretty pleased, and below I’ve included what I think are the two clearest and creepiest recordings they captured.

This audio was taken from our attic when, apparently, nobody was upstairs. The more muffled voices are from real people downstairs, but you can hear a much more distinct voice about :07 in.
2. “Come here”

In this clip, two of the hunters are chatting with a dog barking in the background. Near the end you can hear a whisper that is much more clear than the rest of the audio. It sounds like it’s closer to the mic, but you might have to turn up the volume to hear it.

…and nope! We’re not allowing any more ghost hunters in here for a while yet. Sorry!

Pretty crazy.
I’m confused which one are ghosts and which are the ghost hunters, but they all give me the heebie jeebies!
p.s. If you guys are worried about the rash of possible house museum closings think about shouting an English version of El Orfanato… you already have half of the audio.
Lauren, the ghosts are pretty isolated. “Come here” happens real quick at the instant when :06 changes to :07. Everything else is “not ghost.”
For “Child up here” the ghost says that phrase over the course of :07 and :08. Everything else is “not ghost.”
I got sick of typing the word “alleged” above so you can add that in wherever you see fit.
Lain, I tend to think this is all something the Wren’s Nest should capitalize on. Why not plan some special Halloween events? And perhaps you should charge the ghost hunters!
Good idea about the Halloween events. Ghost stories definitely count as storytelling.
Oh, and from what I’ve gathered, most ghost hunters believe that they should charge us and not the other way around. I don’t know if anyone has been able to successfully implement that business model, but my hat is off to whoever can make it happen.
Alright – simply from getting to know you online I was planning on making a trip to the Wren’s nest – but now I am completely sold and will be there soon.
I have “seen” many ghost in the past. I think it’s kinda cool – I have not seen any in awhile…yeah – I’ll be visiting.
Quite simply, that freaks my stuff the freak OUT. “Ghosts galore” was just a joke; not anymore!
