Never been to Ohio myself, bit far from Staffordshire lol. But the east wing thing is interesting because I always find it's the eastern sections of old buildings that feel the worst, and I cant work out if thats just confirmation bias or something to do with ley line orientation. Anyone else noticed that pattern?
What specifically felt off? Like a pressure in your ears, temperature drop, or more of a visual thing? I ask because I do a lot of EVP work and I'm trying to build up a picture of whether certain physical sensations correlate with better recording results. Had a session at a Victorian asylum near Stafford last year where the east corridor was genuinely unbearable to stand in for more than a few minutes, no rational explanation for it. Got nothing on the recorder though which was annoying.
Would you go back with proper equipment?
