How Trigger Objects Come to Life on our Investigations
How Trigger Objects Come to Life on our Investigations
If you’ve ever been on one of our ghost tours or investigations, you know we love combining haunted history with hands-on experiences. Two of our favorite tools to use during the Everdark Express and Para4ce Investigations are what we call trigger objects – items designed to get the attention of spirits and invite interaction. Trigger objects are items we place in haunted spots to encourage a response from the other side. Think of them as gentle invitations – especially in places where spirits might feel shy or stuck in a different time.
Let’s take a look at two of our guest’s favorite tours: The Everdark Express and The Para4ce Investigation and how we use two of our favorite trigger objects in each: The Paranormal Music Box and the Teddy Pod.
The Everdark Express
If you’ve been aboard the Everdark Express, you may have seen (or heard) our Paranormal Music Box in action. This device plays a haunting lullaby when something crosses its motion detection field. It’s styled like an old-fashioned music box, making it perfect for our tours in the haunted Dixie House. We typically place it in our most active areas of the house- and it gets a lot of attention from our guests and permanent residents of the home.
Guests love it because it’s so visual and immediate. The music, the timing, the eerie vibe – it’s the kind of moment that sticks with you long after the tour ends.
Para4ce Investigations
The Teddy Pod might look like an innocent stuffed bear, but don’t let its cuddly appearance fool you – it’s packed with paranormal tech. This fuzzy friend lights up in response to electromagnetic field changes, making it a fantastic tool during Para4ce Investigations, and is especially popular with one of our younger spirits in the Dixie House.
The bear feels familiar and safe, which can help draw out more hesitant energies. And for our guests, seeing that bear suddenly come to life adds an unforgettable thrill to the night.
Why These Tools Make Our Tours Unique
At Ghost Augustine, we’re passionate about creating real, meaningful paranormal experiences – not just spooky stories. Tools like these trigger objects help offer our guests a more hands on, authentic experience that no other tour in the city can offer.
So whether you’re climbing aboard the Everdark Express or joining us for a deeper dive with Para4ce Investigations, keep your eyes (and ears!) open. You never know when a melody will start playing… or when a teddy bear will light up all on its own.
