**PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT SOME NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY **
The evening was warm as we pulled into the parking lot. The large, brown brick house stood before us. The building seemed to be welcoming us in. We entered through the front door and felt like we were taking a step back into time – original rooms and period style furniture. There was even that old, musty museum-type smell. There was also and energy that seemed to let you know that you were never alone, and that intrigued us all. We set out on a tour with the current business owner who explained that his staff really disliked the building and some would not go into rooms by themselves. After hearing the stories we could not wait to get started.
S.Capers Break Out Zone is located in Oshawa, Ontario. Located in a house that was built in 1923, S. Capers is an escape room entertainment facility. S.Capers have 5 different “Escape Rooms”and continually change themes. It is a unique and entertaining concept that has grown quite big in recent years. Its current residence was once a family home, and then followed by a few different business. It was also told to us that a lot of the furniture was acquired through auctions. Staff had been experiencing strange things – locked doors being open, feelings of unease, electronic devices being tampered with, a photo that refused to stay on a wall and even the sight of a male apparition.
We began our tour on separate floors. Sean and Colin headed towards the Basement, while Vanessa, Susan and Rachel headed upstairs to the second floor. Once on the second floor, the decided to begin the evening in a room we will describe as the “Nightmares Room”. They set up their equipment and began. Vanessa begins with a P-SB7 ghost box session. She sets it up on the FM frequency. “Is there anyone in here with us?” Vanessa asked. A male voice was heard – ‘A guy’. “A guy? That’s what is sounded like,” stated Rachel. “Can you tell us what your name is?” asked Vanessa. No response. Before Vanessa could ask her next question a male voice is heard saying “I like it”. “You like it?” asked Vanessa. “What do you like?” she continued. However there was no response. “Do you know who we are?” asked Vanessa. A faint, male voice is heard saying ‘Rachel’. “Did that sound like ‘Rachel’ to you?” Susan asked. Vanessa agreed. “Can you make the REM Pod light up for us?” Vanessa asked next. All three of them heard a clear male voice say ‘No’. “That sounded like a disgruntled ‘no’,” Rachel stated. It was then that the Ovilus spoke its first word – ‘Oar’. “Did you like to ride in boats?” asked Vanessa. No response. Some more questions were asked but nothing clear was coming through. It was as this point that Rachel heard what sounded like someone coming up the stairs. Vanessa also heard this. It was then decided to switch the P-SB7 over to the AM frequency. “We want you to do something,” stated Vanessa. “Can you make the Ovilus go off? Do something,” she continued. A clear, female voice is heard – ‘No’. “Well if you can’t make anything go off, can you tell us your name?” Rachel asked. The Ovilus spoke again – ‘Ours’. “Is this your room?” questioned Vanessa. “I’m not leaving until you do something. Rachel’s not afraid of you. Can the female speak up again?” she continued. At this point Rachel began to feel a cold spot. “I’m feeling chilly on my right side,” she stated. The Ovilus spoke – ‘See’. “What are you doing to Rachel?” asked Vanessa. While asking, Vanessa moved the K2 meter closer to Rachel to see if anything would change. When she placed it on the floor close to Rachel, the entire meter lit up. It seemed strange that by only moving it a few inches, it went from no lights to all lights. They figured it was due to wires and other electric devices directly underneath them. For further references, they placed the K2 meter on the bed. “Oh, are you here?” Susan asked. ‘Hello’ is heard coming from the ghost box. “Can you tell me your name?” Rachel asked again. The Ovilus spoke – ‘Rewind’. “Do you have anything to say to us?” asked Vanessa. No response was heard. A few more questions were asked before we received our next intelligent response. “Can you tell us how many are in this room right now?” questioned Rachel. A male voice is heard – ‘Three’. “Can you say one of our names?” asked Vanessa. A very faint voice is heard – ‘Susan’. “Sounded like it said ‘Susan’,” stated Rachel. “Now can you tell everyone what my name is?” asked Rachel. A male voice is heard – ‘No’. “Is it too hard to say?”She asked. The same male voice is heard – ‘Yes’. “To the man answering all the questions, can you tell me what your name is?” Rachel asked. A male voice is heard – “Rob”. Rachel then revealed to Vanessa and Susan that the original owner of the house had a husband by the name of Robert. “Are you the originally owner?” asked Vanessa. A male voice is heard – ‘Ya’. “Can you tell us what your wife’s name is?” asked Rachel. No response. “How many children did you have?” Rachel asked. There were a variety of different voices throwing out numbers, but the ones we could catch were four, eight and six. None of these numbers match the correct number of children the original owners had. Rachel and Vanessa continued to ask questions about the original owners, but no responses were heard. “Is there anyone in this house that did not live or die here?” asked Vanessa. A clear, male voice is heard – ‘Three’. “Why are you here? What brought you here?” asked Vanessa. A male voice is heard ‘Help’. “Can you make the REM Pod go off?” Vanessa asked. A male voice is heard ‘ No….Three’. “Three in here, three downstairs, 3 of you. Does three have a significance to you?” Vanessa asked. No response. “Are you the one who scared the man in the ‘Kaboom’ Room?” Rachel asked. A male voice is heard – ‘Who?’ “I don’t know his name, but he was working and saw you,” Rachel stated. The same male voice is heard – ‘No’. “Are you the one that unlatches the door in the kitchen/office area?” asked Susan. This time the Ovilus answered – ‘Fact’. Vanessa, Rachel and Susan continued to ask questions, but no responses were heard or recorded. The ghost box was turned off and they decided to sit in silence for a bit. “We are gonna sit and be very quiet,” stated Susan. “We are wondering if you could make a noise for us?” she asked. They sat there in complete silence, but nothing was heard or recorded. When they decided it was time to leave the room, the Ovilus spoke – ‘Haste’. With that, Vanessa, Susan and Rachel hastily left the room.

They sat there in complete silence, but nothing was heard or recorded. When they decided it was time to leave the room, the Ovilus spoke – ‘Haste’. With that, Vanessa, Susan and Rachel hastily left the room.
On the main floor, they joined back up with Colin and Sean. While in the basement, Colin had stated that the REM Pod had activated and he was sure that no one was around it. Sean had also mentioned a general feeling of unease and had heard a growl/hissing sound in his ear. It was nothing that was to be feared, but said he felt like someone just didn’t want him down there. A quick break was taken to debrief before continuing on to the next room. Somehow, Sean and Vanessa managed to make their way upstairs before the rest of the group. Once Rachel, Susan and Colin realized they had been left behind, they quickly made their way to the second floor. When they didn’t see Vanessa and Sean, they figured they were already in the attic area, so the three of them headed up there. What they didn’t know was the Vanessa and Sean were sitting in the ‘Cell Room’. Upon entering the Attic area, they realized that the other two were not up there. They laughed it off, and began to set up for the second part of their investigation.
Rachel and Colin set up the REM Pods. One was placed at on a table behind the sofa, while the other was placed on the small table that is located underneath a photo of a young lady. This is a real photo, of a real woman. They do not know who she is as they purchased this artifact at an auction. It should also be noted that this is the photo that refused to stay on the wall. Once everything was in place, Rachel, Susan and Colin began to talk about what has been happening. It wasn’t long before someone, unseen, wanted to communicate. The REM Pod activated. Rachel hadn’t even had time to hit record on her camera to capture this activation. Finally, Rachel was able to hit record and was able to capture the communication in process.
“We know you’re up here now,” stated Colin. The REM Pod seemed to respond to him. “Thank you,” he replied. “Are you the lady in the photo?” Rachel asked. “If so, can you make the REM Pod go off?” she continued. The REM Pod activated. “Thank you!” Rachel said. More questions were asked, but no communication was received. “Is the light bothering you?” asked Colin, in reference to his flashlight. “If so, can you blink once for yes or twice for no?” he asked. The REM Pod activated and blinked once. “Do you like it here?” Colin asked. The REM Pod, once again, blinked once. “I’m glad you’re happy,” Susan stated. Some more questions were asked, but no communications. After a few moments, the Ovilus spoke – ‘Soldiers’. “Can you move something in the room? That would be OK with us,” Colin said. “We would really like to see the lights go off again, or you can slide over a cup on the table,” Colin went on to say. But there was no response. “Did you go downstairs?” Colin asked. The Ovilus spoke – ‘Automatic’. “Are there more of them here then just you? Once for yes, please,” Susan asked kindly. Again, no communication. “Are you the one that makes people feel uncomfortable up here?” Rachel asked. Still no communication. The three decided to do a ghost box session, but before they could start the Ovilus spoke – ‘Africa’. “Come join us at the table here,” stated Rachel. “Come take a seat. We have some questions for you and you can answer them through this box,” she went on to say. “Is there anyone up here with us,” Colin asked. An unintelligible voice is heard. “Hello?” Colin questioned. No response. Rachel then heard what she thought was the sound of footsteps going across the room they were in. Colin said he had also heard the same thing. “I feel you up here with us,” stated Colin. The room was now beginning to take on a different feeling. Rachel was also hearing strange noises that didn’t seem to fit in. “I feel uneasy now,” stated Rachel. Colin then hears what sounds like someone coming up the stairs.

Rachel was also hearing strange noises that didn’t seem to fit in. “I feel uneasy now,” stated Rachel. Colin then hears what sounds like someone coming up the stairs.
Everyone prepared to see either Vanessa or Sean, but no one came up. Finally, after a few moments, Vanessa joins back up with Rachel, Susan, and Colin in the attic. She seems quite puzzled about some of the things that Sean and herself had experienced downstairs. While investigating the ‘Cell’ Room Vanessa and Sean had noticed that the door they had closed, had opened up. They had also heard the sounds of someone clanging something along the bars and the sound of someone trying to click the “help” button. Vanessa also asked if any of us had come down to the second floor because they had seen, what looked like, someone walking by the door. We assured them that had not come down, and that everyone was accounted for.
As the team was discussing what was going on, Susan interrupted. “Something is at the back of my neck!” she exclaimed. The REM Pod activated. “Are you behind Susan?” asked Colin. “Can you move the curtains?” he continued. “It’s stinging!” Susan cried out. Vanessa went over to take a look at Susan’s neck. Though she didn’t see anything, Vanessa did notice that the area was quite hot to the touch. “Come over here and touch me or Rachel,” stated Colin. But nothing happened. The Team spent the next few minutes joking around. Rachel ended up saying an improper swear word and that seemed to bother whomever was with us, as the REM Pod activated. “Were you touching the back of Susan’s neck?” asked Vanessa. The REM Pod activated and went off once. Which we indicated was a yes. Vanessa asked more questions but no response. “It has to be something to do with that photo,” stated Rachel. It was then that Rachel noticed that the K2 meter, that was sitting on the table in front of the empty chair, had activated as well. “If you’re sitting with us can you make the K2 meter go off again, or clink the China on the table together?” Rachel asked. “Let’s sit in silence,” Colin suggested. “We’re gonna be quiet for a bit, so now you can do what you want. We are gonna sit here and enjoy it,” he stated. The team sat in silence, but nothing was heard. Susan started to feel as if someone was standing behind her again. It was decided that we should try the ghost box again. “Are you standing behind Susan right now, making her feel uncomfortable?” Rachel asked. No response. “Can you tell us what your name is?” asked Rachel. A male voice is heard – ‘Bill’. “Your name is Bill?” asked Colin. The same male voice is heard – ‘Yup’. “Can you tell us the name of the lady whose photo is on the wall?” Rachel asked. A male voice is heard – ‘Three’ or ‘Pretty’ (Rachel is sure it says pretty, but it was hard to discern at the time and then afterwards through the recording). “Do you like it up here?” Rachel asked. A male voice is heard – ‘No’. “Is Mike or Rob up here with us?” she asked. A male voice is heard again – ‘Yes’. It was at this point that Sean has come up to join the rest of the team. The second Sean stepped foot in the Attic, the REM Pod activated. All colours were lit and the device was making the loudest noise possible. It appeared that someone was either happy that Sean had joined the rest of the team, or not thrilled at all. “Can you do that again for me? Use all my energy to make both go off,” Sean stated. But nothing more was communicated. The team decided to try a Séance. Susan was the leader, as she has done them before. She lead the team through opening up the energy in the room and the beginning of the séance. Susan asked if they could move any object on the table, but things remained still. “Whoever is here with us, don’t be afraid,” said Colin. “We won’t hurt you,” he continued. The REM Pod began to activate and beep. “Hi,” said Colin. “Can you make the one by the stairs go off?” asked Rachel. The same REM Pod activated again. “Wrong one, but thank you,” stated Rachel. “Can you move something on the table for us?” Susan asked. The REM Pod activated again and the Ovilus spoke – ‘Dime’. “Thank you!” exclaimed Susan. “Can you move something around?” asked Vanessa. The REM Pod activated. “I need you to do something so I can believe,” stated Vanessa. The REM Pod activated. “Not that,” Vanessa said. Everyone laughed. “Smart ghost. You got shot down,” stated Rachel. “I’m gonna knock three times, can you repeat what I do?” asked Colin. The Ovilus then spoke – ‘Stones’. “Should I bring stones next time?” asked Susan. The team continued to ask questions when Colin thought he had seen something strange. “The picture of that woman,” he said. “It looked like she shifted in the photo, I swear,” he stated. It was at this moment that the K2 meter activated. It appeared that someone was validating Colin’s experience. “I thought she was moving earlier, but I figured it was the just the glass,” Rachel commented. “Do you want us to leave?” asked Susan. The Ovilus spoke again – “Tin”. “There was a tin on the floor,” Rachel said. The REM Pod activated as to acknowledge that Rachel was correct. “Do you like when people come up here to play the games?” Colin asked. The REM Pod activated. The REM Pod then started to beep consistently. Thinking that the battery was almost done, Vanessa grabbed the other REM Pod and switched it. During the switch, the REM pod activated loudly. The Ovilus spoke – ‘Loud’. “You don’t like it loud? Do loud noises bother you?” asked Colin. The team decided to try another P-SB7 ghost box session. “Is this loud enough for you?” asked Rachel. More questions were asked, but no responses were heard. So it was decided to switch the frequency over to AM. “How many o f us are sitting up here right now?” asked Rachel. The ghost box was quiet but the Ovilus spoke – ‘March’. “Did you die in March?” questioned Vanessa. A male voice was heard – ‘Yup’. Rachel was quick to clarify. “One of the original owners did pass away during the month of March, but it wasn’t a man,” she stated. More questions were asked but no responses heard. At one point, Colin thought he had seen the front curtains move. “What is the name of the person sitting downstairs?” asked Rachel. A female voice is heard, loudly saying what sounds like ‘Justin’. The Ovilus also spoke – ‘Female’. Again, more questions were asked, but no responses. The team decided it would be a good time to go back downstairs. The Ovilus said another word – ‘Descend’. “Well that means ‘go down’,” stated Rachel. “We haven’t done the back room yet,” she went on to say. The team gathered the equipment and descended the stairs to the second floor.
As the team was discussing what was going on, Susan interrupted. “Something is at the back of my neck!” she exclaimed. The REM Pod activated. “Are you behind Susan?” asked Colin. “Can you move the curtains?” he continued. “It’s stinging!” Susan cried out. Vanessa went over to take a look at Susan’s neck. Though she didn’t see anything, Vanessa did notice that the area was quite hot to the touch. “Come over here and touch me or Rachel,” stated Colin. But nothing happened.

The Ovilus said another word – ‘Descend’. “Well that means ‘go down’,” stated Rachel. “We haven’t done the back room yet,” she went on to say. The team gathered the equipment and descended the stairs to the second floor.
Upon entering the second floor, there was an obvious change of temperature. This was pretty natural, as heat rises, but it definitely made things feel a little bit creepier. Equipment was set up and place around the room. “I could be here all night,” stated Rachel. The REM Pod activated. It appeared someone agreed with Rachel. However, when Colin entered the room, the REM Pod activated and went haywire – all lights and sounds were going. Everyone was awestruck. The second that Sean joined back up with us, the REM Pod went quiet. “Guess they want us all together,” stated Rachel. “If you’re here with us, make all the lights go off,” said Rachel. The REM Pod activated, but only one colour. It was also noticed that the K2 meter seemed to activate as well. “Are you the man the employee saw out here? If so, can you make the K2 or REM Pod go off?” Rachel asked. Everything was quiet. “Whoever is up here, we want you to do something. We want to know you’re here with us,” Colin stated. During this time, the REM Pod would occasionally activate, but only one colour. “Did you follow us down from upstairs?” asked Susan. “Are you a different spirit?” she continued. No response. “If you’re in here with us an you make a noise?” asked Colin. Everyone was quiet for a few moments. A weird noise was heard, but everyone seemed to have a different explanation as to where it came from. “If you made that noise, can you do it again?” Colin asked. Once again, everyone was quiet, but this time no one heard a thing. “Can you come out and sit on the rocking chair?” asked Vanessa. The Ovilus spoke – ‘Beach’. “It could be ‘bitch’,” joked Rachel. “I want you to rock the chair,” Susan stated. We all waited and watched, but the chair never moved. “Are you still here?” asked Susan. Everything seemed to be quiet. “Why are you so afraid of us?” asked Colin. But no response. Everyone began joking around and someone let an ‘improper swear’ word in to the conversation. It was noted that the K2 meter lit up when that word was said. “You don’t like when we get loud and swear?” questioned Colin. The K2 meter lit up again. “You don’t like swear words. Very prim and proper,” said Rachel. The REM Pod immediately activated, as if it was once again agreeing with Rachel. Colin then sees what he thinks is a shadow walk by everyone and into the back room. He warns Sean about what he just saw (as Sean is currently in the back room), but Sean stated that he didn’t feel anything. Colin continues to ask whomever is with us to do something. The REM Pod activated every time he talks. He notices this and continues to ask questions. At one point, Colin lets the ‘F’ word slip and the REM Pod activates in a haste. “You don’t like the ‘F’ word?” asks Colin. The REM Pod activates and seems to scream. Colin begins to talk as he paces back and forth. Every time Colin would raise his voice a little or swear, the REM Pod would activate at its highest level. We also noticed that every time Colin would leave the area, the REM Pod would return to is quiet state. The second Colin would step foot into the room, the REM Pod would activate with all lights and sounds. We tried to figure if whomever it was liked Colin, or didn’t like him. It seemed like this could go on all night, however our investigation was coming to an end. No one on the team wanted to leave, but it was time to pack up. The Ovilus said on last word before it was shut down – ‘Return’. “Unbelievable, you guys,” Susan stated. Everyone agreed. “All I want to say is Thank You very, very much. I want to apologize for Colin,” Susan said out loud. “Thank you for communicating,” Colin said. And with that, the team gathered up their equipment and ended the investigation.
S.Capers Break Out Zone proved to be one of the most active locations that we had investigated in a while. With ghosts and/or spirits willing to communicate it, it was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to take the advice of the Ovilus and ‘Return’.

We escaped. Can you?
