If you happened to drive by Brownella Cottage this past weekend, you may have noticed a few extra lights burning into the wee hours of the morning. On Saturday, the Galion Historical Society facilitated a multi-hour visit by the team from “SPATS” – the acronym for Supernatural, Paranormal and Technical Services, a team of paranormal researchers in the Central and North Central Ohio area.

Representatives from SPATS visited Brownella last year, and conducted limited experiments utilizing devices which measure electrical charges, temperature, and possible voice activity. That visit resulted in the alleged capturing of an actual EVP – an “Electronic Voice Phenomenon,“ as well as significant equipment readings in particular areas of the house – areas which had been the scene of previous activity unknown to the researchers. Based on those promising results, the group requested the privilege of a return visit, this time with the addition of night vision video research equipment.

GalionLive has learned that the team did experience a series of phenomena during their time on Saturday, including both audio and video manifestations. The researchers are preparing a complete report on theirs findings, which will then be shared with the Historical Society.

Brownella Cottage was constructed in 1887, and was the home of Bishop William Montgomery Brown and his wife Ella. The house is one of the best-known allegedly haunted Ohio buildings, having been featured in least two of the “Haunted Ohio” book series.
