Back to Malvern

Our amazing investigation at Malvern Manor with Journey into the Haunted and Twin Flames Paranormal Research August 2025

Yep - that’s us sitting around a ouija board with a demon doll watching over us. Not sure what we were thinking (possibly weren’t) but Josh allowed us….so with a ton of caution, a pinch of madness and a WHOLE lot of ‘let’s get down to business’ we forged ahead. Here’s how things went……..

August is a GREAT time in the Midwest. Start of Spooky Season, crisp fall air (although in some cases it’s still 97 with about 80% humidity….) all the pumpkin things. To be honest right off the bat - this weekend was orginally, well….a weekend. Friday night investigation then a Saturday night investigation. That changed when the ‘Caretaker’ of Villisca changed. We could no longer support the new owners so we bailed on that one and decided to just focus on Malvern (who held an AMAZING fundraiser for said ‘old’ Caretaker, Johnny Houser just a week before) We can be a little picky with locations, and we stand by that decision. We’ve met Johnny and know enough of him to stand by HIM (and Church of course) 1000000%.

Anywho, back to what you all want to hear about. We had been in talks with Josh weeks leading up to this after our event with Journey into the Haunted October 2024 where we met the said infamous doll. Michelle really wanted to try and communicate with whatever little spirit was calling the doll home. Mind you, this is the same doll that was so pissed off to be in a glass case protected by Holy Water and a Crucifix blessed by the Vatican that she BROKE HER LEGS trying to get out. Yeah…so….there’s that.

So Josh gave us the go ahead to get the pretty girl out and try to do some communication to see if we could get whatever was inside to talk to us. Now we all know there is ALOT of back and forth argument on if objects can be haunted or possessed. We’ll leave that up to you to decide, but what we can tell you is that we BOTH have had enough things happen with objects that we are pretty firm believers in spirit attachment to inanimate objects. Now if they are all “DEMONS” we’ll say a big NO. Not even maybe .0005%

Josh had her out for us when we got there, and we unloaded LOTS of gear and started to strategize a bit for the night. Then we all got hungry and strolled across the street to the Cafe. (Pretty sure the local crowd was very skeptical of our sketch little group - and it was BUSY!) Food in bellies and LOTS of coffee for some people (Ahem - Marcus and Sarah) We walked back and got ready for the evening. Of course we had to take a group pic (minus our beloved Phil A, but we made do)
