Well we had our annual investigation at Cottonwood Mansion Museum on the weekend. It was really nice, it was quiet & calming, just like being at home. It was simply the spirits & us.

We didn't use a lot of modern equipment, we used more ourselves/senses, pendulums, dowsing rods & one session on the Ouija Board. We did have several camera's & recorders placed throughout the mansion however. And we did come across a bunch of old photo's, books & old huge thick heavy Bibles that caught our interest so we spent some time going through some of them.

We did have a surprise, we had a male spirit come through in the Ouija Board session who was not related in any way to Cottonwood. As I go through audio & video, hopefully something will be there that we can share with all of you. ~Judy 🥰👻🖤

Spirits aren't a trained circus act. 🎪👻
They don't perform because we showed up.
They don't respond because the cameras are rolling.
They don't interact because we brought the newest piece of equipment and really want it to light up.
Sometimes an investigation is active.
Sometimes it's quiet.
Sometimes you spend hours asking questions, documenting the environment, watching equipment, and reviewing audio...
And you leave with nothing.
That's paranormal investigation.
Our job isn't to force a performance or create a moment for social media.
Our job is to investigate, document, and be ready if something happens.
No hype.
No provocation.
Just investigators doing the work.
Investigate first.
Investigate Responsibly.

Quick update, I've been working on review of audio/video from our Auchmar Manor investigation. I still have just under an hour of audio & the full spectrum camera to review yet. Hopefully I can get through those this coming week. One of the EVP's I found that I think is awesome, it's a voice saying what sounds like "welcome". Wow, do I ever like that, thank you Spirits of Auchmar. ~Judy 😃👻

We had an amazing investigation on Saturday. This is one of our undisclosed locations this year, Auchmar Estate in Hamilton, Ontario. This home was built in the early 1850's, it served for many years as the Issac Buchanan family home. It was also the social center for Hamilton's elite including Lords & Ladies, Earls, Governor General, Prince of Wales and even Canada's 1st future Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald. Auchmar was later used as a convalescent home for injured soldiers, years later it was a spiritual centre and now, a heritage landmark. We are all so appreciative that we were allowed access & trusted to be there. Many thanks to the City of Hamilton Civic Museums for letting us have this incredible opportunity. Now, on to the review! ~Judy 😃👻💜

Some of our team will be at a ball stadium next weekend, May 29th, at the Hamilton Cardinals Professional Baseball Club. We were asked if we would share some paranormal stories, show some equipment, share some techniques & offer some guidance to those interested. Baseball & basic paranormal 101, sounds like fun to me! I bet the team can "knock this one out of the park" ~Judy 😁⚾️👻🖤

Super exciting for us! Tomorrow two of the team are going on a site visit/walk through at an undisclosed location. They will be meeting with the Cultural Heritage Curator for this National Historic Site. We will be allowed to share photo's and information after the investigation is concluded. We look forward to sharing with you in the near future, this amazing location! ~Judy 😃👻🖤

A few pic's from last Saturday's public paranormal investigation at our gorgeous Cottonwood Mansion Museum. And it was the first time for manager Alanna to attend one of these events. She jumped right in & did great! Huge & many thank you's going out to those who were able to attend, spend some time at the mansion with us & helped to raise some funds for this historical location!

We are not back to Cottonwood until this coming October for our next public event. Till then, thanks again to all of you who were able to join us last weekend. ~Judy 🥰😃👻🖤

When I do a reveal for a client, I always include the personal experiences that the team had. Not as concrete proof of something paranormal, but just as it was, a personal experience. We've seen it happen numerous times as well with the people who come out to one of our public investigations that we host yearly at Cottonwood Mansion. As said in the post, just because an experience wasn't captured on the equipment doesn't mean it wasn't real. Credit to KenTenn Paranormal for the spot on post. ~Judy 🙂👻🖤

The Importance of Personal Experience in Paranormal Investigation

In this field, we all want the same thing — the Class A EVP, the full-bodied apparition, the undeniable breakthrough piece of evidence. We want something we can point to and say, “There it is.”
But we should never downplay the importance of personal experience.
Not every meaningful moment in an investigation is going to be captured on camera or recorded on a device. Sometimes it's the sudden change in atmosphere. The feeling that you're not alone. The moment someone sees something that can't be explained. The experience that sticks with you long after the investigation ends.
As investigators, we absolutely should try to debunk. That's part of doing this the right way. We test, we recreate, we question everything.

But what we shouldn't do is dismiss or belittle someone's personal experience.
We may not be able to replicate what they felt.
We may not have captured it on equipment.
But that doesn't mean the experience wasn't real to them.

Personal experiences are often what drive this field forward. They're what bring people into investigation, what create meaningful moments, and what remind us that not everything can be measured.

Evidence is important.
But experience matters too.
At KenTenn Paranormal, we investigate first — no hype — but we also respect the human side of this field. Because sometimes, the most powerful part of an investigation… is what you personally experience.
