Haunted
Historic Antique Store and Paper Scrap booking shop Located in Mesa, AZ.
Ghost research conducted
by paranormal investigator,
Lori McDonald 10-2007.
Lori's findings: (The building is haunted!) Lori reported several witness accounts of numerous apparitions
had been seen --A man, a little boy, a little
girl--were seen in the shop. One 6 year-old who was with her mother, refused to go down stairs
into the basement. She told her mom "ghost children were down
stairs". The shop owner had experienced poltergeist activity. Upon the close of
business the store was neat and organized and the next morning
papers and scrap booking supplies were found in disarray.
Dolls were played with and mysteriously moved around in the middle of the night. Prior
to closing several dolls had been neatly placed high
on a shelf by the vendor, and the next day they were found on the floor
in a straight line, along with a small red pair of shoes. Late one night
when the customers were scrap booking upstairs a radio turned on by itself in the
basement. Recently, during renovation several dolls flew off the shelf.
Marbles have materialized from the ceiling out of thin air. Lori
obtained thermal readings or
cold spots that spiked from 79-48 degrees in a split second.
Lori filmed strange spirit orb activity and a a white ecto-mist that faded
in and out near the ceiling, with an infrared night shot camera, in the basement. This historic building was built in 1898. It was
built with Lehi bricks. It was once a bakery and the ownership has changed
hands many times. Family members of shop owners and employees were exposed
to the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. Many died from the illness. This
shop is connected to a paper and scrap booking store and many of the
historic buildings on Main Street are rumored to be haunted throughout the
downtown area.
This is a ghost hot spot!
This Haunt Made The News!
ABC 15 News reporter
Tim Vetscher
televised a
Halloween 2007, story on the haunting investigation by
Lori McDonald.
Note: Lori found this
haunting by accident. She sensed the store was haunted, so she asked the
clerk who confirmed it with stories of numerous paranormal events that had
taken place in the historic building. As Lori strolled along the creaking
antique hard wood floors, she sensed the presence of a little girl spirit
and asked if anyone had ever seen a girl ghost. Lori was told that the
disembodied voice, EVP (electronic voice phenomena) of a girl spirit saying
"Hello" was captured by another paranormal group who also investigated the
shop several months ago!
Photos of orbs were taken after Lori obtained a low thermal reading
of 42 degrees and a high 7.9 EMF reading in the various locations.

Along Main Street in
downtown Mesa, you'll find Mystic Paper a scrapbooking store
upstairs and antique shop downstairs.
The building used to be a pool hall and is one of the oldest in the
East Valley.
Owner Kim Johnson says shortly after taking ownership of the
building, she and her employees began experiencing things they
couldn't explain.
Johnson says, "We have paper moved all over the place, toys taken
off the shelf and played with."
Johnson agreed to let paranormal investigator and owner of Alien UFO
Art Lori McDonald take a look to determine if the building was
haunted.
McDonald says she goes in as a skeptic, trying to disprove the place
is haunted. She believes buildings are haunted only about 20
percent of the time.
Lori and her husband Bill invited ABC15 along as they hunted for
ghosts. They made the visit to Mystic Paper for free.
The McDonalds use a variety of tools they claim will detect a
paranormal presence.
Lori McDonald says "There are a lot of people experiencing this and
if I can document this, they don't feel like they're crazy."
Lori McDonald managed to capture on camera so-called 'orbs' that she
claimed indicate ghost activity.
Based on the evidence, she now contends Mystic Paper is one spooky
shop.
