CASE NUMBER	#1003.1
DATE OF INVESTIGATION	April 26, 2008
LOCATION	Burville Cider Mille Watertown, NY
INVESTIGATORS	Bob Laurie Craig Bill
History of Location	The following historical information was borrowed directly from the Burrville Cider Mill's website, http://www.burrvillecidermill.com. The Burrville Cider Mill is one of Jefferson County's oldest establishments. The structure, formerly known as Burr's Mills, was built in 1801 and was originally used as a sawmill and a gristmill. The Mill is located at the headwaters of the North Branch of the Sandy Creek on a 30-foot waterfall that was used to turn a turbine that powered the Mill equipment. Actually, the village of Burrville was settled before nearby Watertown. The reason being that the Black River that runs through Watertown was considered too immense to harness but the falls at Burrville were easily controlled. Capt. John Burr, whom Burrville is named after, purchased the Mill in 1802. Not much is known about Capt. Burr but it is rumored that he was a pirate who would steal from the supply ships out on Lake Ontario and then sell the goods back to the troops in Sackets Harbor. Some even say his ghost still visits the Mill. There is record of a cider press being in use at the Mill as far back as the 1800s. In the 1940s Homer Rebb converted the Mill to cider production on a commercial scale. Ever since then "Burrville Cider" has been known as the best cider in the North Country.
CLAIMS OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY	According to the source interviewed prior to this investigation, one of the current owners of the cider mill, activity on the premises has included sightings of apparitions, disembodied voices, odors that have no apparent source, objects moving and/or disappearing, and physical touch.
AUDIO EVIDENCE EVPs	The following clip was recorded by Bob and Bill during an investigation of the "wash room," off of the press room. "Who is it?"     The following clip was recorded in the attic by Bill and Bob when they were discussing EMF variations on the KII meter.  The first is the clip that includes Bob discussing the variations on the KII meter.  The second clip was shortened to include only the EVP and it was slightly enhanced so that it is easier to hear.

VIDEO EVIDENCE	We do not claim that a ghost was responsible for the paper towels unrolling in this footage.  However, over 5 hours of filming from the same exact camera angle, this was the only movement of it's kind, with regard to the paper towels.   We will be including footage of 2 of our team members and the owner of the mill walking past this location, prior to the unraveling of the paper towels, to illustrate that they were fully rolled and stable.    Also worth noting is the fact that prior to the investigation, when trying to figure out where to place this IR camera to cover the kitchen, we tried fastening it to the top of the paper towels and that didn't cause them to unroll.     Since wind wasn't a factor in the unraveling of the paper towels, and there was no direct contact with the paper towels, we have labeled this an unexplained phenomenon.    We recognize that this footage will be scrutinized, but we felt it was worth including in our evidence.   We apologize that the camera wasn't aiming high enough to capture the top of the paper towel roll, and we regret that.  However, one of the claims had to do with the area below the sink, so we chose our camera angle based on that claim.  Paper Towels Cindy, Bill, and Bob walking by the paper towels   Another object moved in the kitchen, along the opposite wall, and as was the case with the paper towels, this clip shows the only movement of its kind throughout 5 hours of footage.   Watch the right hand of the screen, just past the mixer.  We were unable to identify exactly what the object was, because it was not captured in any of our photographs, and when we had the owner of the mill snap photographs of the kitchen days after the investigation, there was no object that appeared to match the one moving in this clip.
