Nothin' but hardcore ghost huntin'

Haunted A&M University Animal Industries Building

I was contacted by Carly Kenelly of CBS affiliate KBTX . Carly was hosting a nightly series called " Urban Legends " . The first installment was to be an expose' on the A&M University Campus . The show was going to focus on the alleged haunting of the Animal Industry Building . The building itself has its own eerie form of architecture . On the outside facade are heads of animals in concrete . In the 1960's slaughtering of animals for students classes was a daily part of the college curriculum . The dissections of the animals took place in the basement floor in a room referred to as the "the meat room or kill room " . In 1965 laboratory manager Roy Simms was cutting into an animal when the knife apparently slipped and severed his femur artery . Bleeding profusely he tried to make to the stairs out of the basement but bled to death in front of the freight elevator doors . The freight elevator has been plagued with malfunctions ever since that night . Attempts to repair it are futile and now it is used as storage . Students report strange occurrence's and changes in the atmospheric conditions at night in the basement area where the death took place . The university library is filled with documentation of eye witnessed accounts that Carly found while investigating background information for this segment of her nightly series . The night I was scheduled to investigate was a full moon and only days before Halloween . My normal investigative team of Mark and Steven Madrid were unable to make the trip due to it being out of town and during the work week late at night . It all worked out ok being the news team only had access to the building for a short period of time . Film director Buddy Howard and Texas Monthly journalist Mark Haytor accompanied me for this investigation to take EMF and Temperature readings while I filmed in the hallway where Simms bled to death . I captured seven occurrences on video and a six degree temperature drop was noted in the ladies bathroom behind the kill room while a surge on the EMF meter was also documented by Buddy and Mark . At the same time the temperature and EMF fluctuations were occurring something brushed past and made contact with the behind of Mark Haytor in the bathroom . As I mentioned earlier we only had a short time to document on film anything that might occur while we were allowed during after hours on campus . Filming took place for only thirty seven minutes . For such a short time to have seven occurrence's captured on video and EMF and temperature changes to have happen I would definitely love to stay all night to allow even more communing with Roy Simms . Below you can click on the links to view the videos captured in the basement by the freight elevator . Many thanks to Carly and her camera team , Mark Haytor and Buddy Howard .
