One of the locations we were fortunate enough to film at is The Don Vicente Inn at Ybor City, Florida. This now renovated building was a hospital at one time and then lay empty for 18 years till the new owners took it over and totally renovated it. There are stories that we were there to find. Including the basement area used to be the morgue, where there is a story that the dead refused to stay dead and the towns people were so concerned that they started putting stakes through the hearts of the dead!!
I started asking the housekeeping if they heard or saw anything. The one thing they kept talking about was room 305. If they had no guests, the air conditioning would be at the high 70's, but when they would go in that room it would be freezing cold. They also said there was a problem with the lock of that room. Sometimes the door would not open from both the outside and sometimes the inside! The door lock has been checked, and there is nothing wrong with the door!
We started filming at that room, and as our host went to open the door it would not open! Pretty funny! So eventually our host who was on camera said " Please let us in and tell us your story" and the door now opened when she turned the handle.
Pretty strange I would say!!

Hi..
I quite look forward to seeing your work.
Do you think that paranormal activity accelerates when a structure is abandoned, and does this trend continue and increase as long as the building remains unoccupied? Or is this just our perception that abandoned buildings are more spooky than occupied one, which of course they are!
Is it possible that the presence of we mere mortals living and working within a structure could in some way discourage paranormal activity, not totally of course, but somewhat? And once a structure is abandoned, is it possible that whatever entities are there are 'more comfortable' about becoming active?
Muriel!

I thought it interesting that that “door” seemed to respond to your host when “she” said, “Please let us in and tell us your story.” And, that the perambulating “Lady in White” is associated with the entrance within an entrance, that of the morgue.
Symbolically, the “door,” the antithesis or more commonly, the opposite of the limiting “wall,” is a feminine symbol which includes “entrance way,” “gateway,” “hallway,” and that of an earthen entrance or hole – An egress from or to a cavernous place. There is a similar relationship between the temple-door and the altar of which those versed in symbology liken it to the relationship of the circle or circumference and its centre. The reference to antiques of church pews and table seems an odd combination of coincidence, too. That the facility or inn has several floors or stories is interesting in that they tend to convey a heightened level or a rising above the lower level, the ground level (sometimes referred to as the common level), and the next level or plane of existence. A good reason for being a “busy” place of transition.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there have been the occasional incidence of clairolfaction or clairalience in that locale or apparitions akin to ancient tribal elders of the nearly lost tribes.
The use and exposure to refined tobacco, determined to be hazardous to one’s health in modern times (its ingested use not recommended by the way), has roots in that geographic location as well as throughout that southeastern land mass. The aroma of the leaves was and still is one of the alluring attributes of pipe and cigar tobacco. Used medicinally it had the effect of ridding the body of susceptible parasites and being a deterrent against insects sensitive to the nicotine compound in the leaves. Its growth and cultivation spans eons and was part of local native tribal use before the inhabitants were nearly wiped out by a pestilence that accompanied the Spanish invaders and marauding buccaneers. Possibly where and why the name “Tampa Bay Buccaneers” has been popularized.
Careful of the reptiles there, they’re still a force to reckon with.
