Timeline of Events:
5/2/03
9pm lobby: flag on the mailbox was up and it was reported down upon arrival. A few cold spots and a drop in temperature.

9:30pm segregated balcony: video camera would not stay in focus and heard the sound of coins dropping on the stairs even though no coins were dropped.

5/3/03
1:20am auditorium:  Holly approached the stage and just before she placed her hand on the stage she said "Hello?"  Two loud knocks replied from the rear left of the stage. The sound came from the backdrop used by the KSO. No one living was present back there.

3am lobby: the sound of a vacuum cleaner being turned on and used which lasted 5-10 minutes

3:30am lobby: an icy cold finger poking remaining investigator in the side. She tried to ignore and said aloud that she needed to get some sleep. Minutes later she felt the blanket beside her being pushed down and turned her head enough to witness the pillow beside her head pressing down slowly.

10:30 am auditorium: investigator sitting on stage with head lowered feels unknown force nudging her on the forehead, pushing her backwards slightly; forcing her to place her hands on the stage to prevent herself from falling backwards completely

11:15am auditorium: one of the music stands, located center stage left, falls over with no one in the area

5pm auditorium: distinct sound of chair moving in the lower right box seat section. No one was in this area
