There were so many orbs (caused by lens refractions, dust particles, etc.) found in the photographs taken in the
museum, that we do not mention them individually in this section of the investigation report. See the Unusual Photos
section of the report for details on those photographs.
For additional photographs of the 2nd Floor of the Strawberry Hill
Museum see our first investigation.
All of the pictures above are from the Nun's Hallway in the Nun's Dormitory. The
former dorm rooms have been turned into display rooms for the museum. Some of the walls have been removed to make
larger rooms. Our map is just a general representation of this area of the building, as we chose to not make a
scale map. All of these rooms house museum displays, including mannequins.
The Nun's Hallway has been the scene of reported auditory phenomenon, like the unexplained sound of music. A locked
door to a room called the "Pope's Room" was found unlocked and open...when the only key was locked in
a safe. See the Background section of our original investigation report for more details.
As you can see by the number of photos we took here, we focused a lot of our time at the Strawberry Hill Museum
in this hallway and the rooms along it. We spent a lot of time here, took a lot of pictures, and recorded a lot
of video and audio tape. See the Strange Events section and the Unexplained Voices section of this investigation
report for details |

The birthing room is a very small room right at the top of the formal stairs leading
from the 1st to the 2nd floor. We spent very little time here during both of our investigations at the Strawberry
Hill Museum, but found it interesting that at some point in the buildings history this little room was used as
a place for women to give birth. |

|
This room was part of the original family residence and early on in the existence
of the orphanage it was used as the children's dormitory. We did not spend a lot of time in this room. |
| Over the history of the orphanage, additional dormitory space was added...but this
was the original children's room. |
|
|
|
The Master Bedroom was beautifully decorated. A female presence has been felt in
this room (see the Background section of our original investigation report for details.) |
| The ancient pipes that carry the boiler heat throughout the house were very prominent
in this room...behind the bed and under the bay windows. |
|
|
This large bedroom was nicely decorated and the 2nd floor of the building's tower
was accessible through an archway in this room. There is also a fireplace in this room, but its been closed off.
There were no reports of activity in this room, and we focused very little time here. |
| We called the 2nd floor hallway the Dormitory Hallway. It was made up of a long hall
running east to west through the 2nd floor, with some strange side rooms leading to the servant's quarters and
a thin winding stairway to the 3rd floor. The wide main stairway to the 3rd floor is also in this hallway, near
the doorway into the tower bedroom. |
|
|
|
This portion of the house was where the family's servant's lived when this was a
family household. A thin winding staircase gave easy access to the old kitchen on the first floor and a back hallway
of the 3rd floor. |
| They are currently in disrepair and used for storage. This area is not open to visitors
to the museum. |
|
|
This large room was one two extremely thin dorm rooms for the children housed in
the orphanage. The wall between the rooms was removed to create a larger room for the museum's displays.
We did not spend a large amount of time in this room. |

We called this long room the Girls' Dormitory, because portions of it at one time
served that purpose. But this is another large room created by the removal of interior walls. |
| This large room is made up of space that was also a boys' dormitory and a set of
large bathrooms. Prior to our original investigation at the museum, the staff reported that while the museum was
closed and locked up at night, someone or something disturbed the Christmas decorations in this room. See the Background
section of our original investigation report for more details. We placed one of our stationary cameras in this
room. |
The building, with its 42 rooms, was just too large to full investigate
during the four hour investigation. Since this was our second investigation at the Strawberry Hill Museum, we focued
in on specific locations and spent very little time investigating in these two areas....
BATH - We never entered
this bathroom. It appeared to be in some disrepair and closed to any visitors to the museum. The doorway to the
bathroom was covered with a drape hung over the inside of the door.
UNEXPLORED AREA - We never
made it into this portion of the building and never discussed this area with the museum staff. |
