Ghost Investigations of the Payne-Gentry Mansion

According to the Missouri Ghost Hunters Society, an official organization mind you, the historical Payne-Gentry Mansion Bridgeton, Missouri is haunted with spirits. The team of ghost hunters had heard claims of people seeing spirits of children playing near a tree in the backyard and front porch of the mansion. Their goal was "to record spirit energy in and around this home." and they were "not disappointed" apparenlty with their findings.
After teaming up with the Ghost Hunters of St. Louis, the two teams decided to both take separate readings and compare. Both teams took measurements of the "Geo and Electromagnetic fields" surrounding the mansion in order to compare. The teams then worked together to search for any nearby cemetaries in order to determine who these children ghosts were. "To their amazement" they discovered a small unmarked cemetary near the tree in the backyard which had several children burried in it.
After they finished the investigation outside, the teams moved to the attic, naturally, since thats where ghosts hang out, right? In the attic they waited for something to happen for about fifteen minutes when a member of the team detected a "cold spot" moving up the stairs accompanied by the sound of "someone unseen" walking up the stairs. One of the team members who was standing on the stairs said he could "feel the vibrations of the footsteps" as they walked on the step he was standing on.
When all was said and done, the teams took out their handy digital cameras to take pictures in and around the mansion, of course, since that is the best way to see a ghost. They came back with about 336 pictures of the mansion, filled with photographs of "orbs", also known as spirits apparently. Looks like any other ghost investigation if you ask me.
