Part 3: Belmont Manor Ghostly Happenings: The Portal

A portal (doorway)

This is part 3 of the recent investigation of the Belmont Manor that focuses on the room with a ghostly portal or doorway. 

The Inspired Ghost Tracking group of Glen Burnie, Maryland leads public ghost investigations at the historic Belmont Manor (in Elkridge, MD) several times throughout the year through the Howard County Parks Department. The tours are $20 and the funds all go to support the mansion. The registration is through the parks department.

On the most recent investigation, Friday, July 16, there were several experiences where we talked with intelligent haunts (ghosts who answer questions).
  

The ball lit up with an affirmation

LIGHTING UP TO ANSWER - One of the things we use to get "Yes" or "No" answers is a ball that lights up when moved or affected by electrical activity. It's actually a cat toy, but it's easy enough for ghosts to affect it (since they're energy).

THE PORTAL - A portal is a doorway of energy that goes from one place to another.The portal is like a sideways hurricane of swirling energy. It rotates in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. Sometimes in places that have ghosts portals exist. Such is the case in one room in the Belmont.

Cemetery Side of the Portal

DETECTING THE PORTAL - When you walk through the area where the portal is, some people report their legs shaking or feeling a tingling. Others get dizzy while some feel nothing. To detect the location, Amy from IGT placed 2 light-up balls on the floor. One was near the portal, the other was just away from it. The one that was in the location we identified (by different members of the IGT team) flashed every minute or two (as the portal rotated to a certain point). 

WHY AND WHERE DOES THE DOOR GO? -
One of the ghosts of the home uses this portal to go back and forth to the other portal on the property. During a thorough IGT investigation, it was determined that the other portal lies in the middle of the cemetery in the backyard. So, it's our guess that one of the ghosts goes back and forth to the cemetery to visit one of his loved ones who passed before him.

What's amazing this time is that we were actually able to prove the location of the portal with the equipment, and not just sensations from a good number of people.

That concludes the findings from one group at the Belmont during the recent public investigation. If you want to participate in one of the IGT investigations of the Mansion, Call 410-313-0200 or register online:
