Brooklyn Paranormal Society is hosting a free paranormal investigation at Douglass Recording, in Gowanus.

Housed in an old garage space in the Gowanus neighborhood, Douglass Recording opened after a half-decade of planning and development. Since opening, the studio has attracted stars such as Vanessa Carlton and Grace Mitchell. In 1776, the noises of Gowanus were much different than we'll find this day.

Gun-smoke, screams and blasts were once the primary sounds echoing throughout the hills; and possibly upon the very land the studio sits upon. When asked about another suspected mass grave-site rumored to reside near 388 Union Avenue, Cecily Dyer Brooklyn Historical Society reference librarian states: "What this sounds more like is the Revolutionary War-era mass grave of the Maryland 400, which is said to be in the area of Gowanus."

256 dead troops of the Maryland 400 were buried by the British in a mass grave which is believed to be around the southwest corner of what is today 3rd Ave. between 7th and 9th Streets. The years following, the entire site was covered by 12 feet of fill.

Acting on a tip that indicated the studio was hosting a supernatural entity, BKPS reached out for comment. Chris Gilroy producer & house engineer at Douglass Recording emphatically stated "Ghosts can be felt in our walls...".

To make contact, we'll be utilizing psychics, mediums and modern ghost hunting equipment. Topics of research for members attending include EVPs, and the Maryland 400.

Within ghost hunting, electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are sounds found on electronic recordings that are interpreted as spirit voices that have been either unintentionally recorded or intentionally requested and recorded.

Joined by psychic-medium Cin Vega, the Brooklyn Paranormal Society will attempt to make contact with the other side. Will our members find evidence of life after death? Will we be able to help?
