   Before I go into detail about the investigation and the evidence collected , let me first acknowledge that The Hotel Leger is a fantastic place that One should make an extreme attempt to visit . Located in Mokelumne Hill California , The Hotel Leger is settled around lush green foothills and a multiple array of beauty.  Including The Hotel Ledger , the Town in and of itself is rich with history and precious heirlooms from the past . This serene little Town is proud fully  preserved and boasts long time vintage establishments , antiquity and Hospitality .  An adventure to Mokelumne Hill provides a unique experience  for the whole Family . The list of things to do range from gold panning , golfing , kayaking ,antiquing ,free roam of the country side to bike ride , hike , fish , site see and more . Or perhaps you might  enjoy a tour of one of the many Wineries .  However , if you are in search of a paranormal experience , then I recommend staying at The Hotel Ledger.   Not only will you be greeted with a warm welcome , but you will also have the opportunity to mingle with the Ghosts that reside within The Hotel Ledger.

   P.O.S.T  arrived at the historic Ledger on a chilly  January day, 2010 . We were given a tour of the Hotel and we listened to the claims of paranormal activity .  Many reports have been made of a Woman crying in room #2 . This Woman is thought to be the Wife of George Ledger ( the original owner ) whom apparently died in the Hotel during the birth of Her third Child . Another claim is of a Young Child playing near the fire place in room #3. Although there are many other claims that have been made , P.O.S.T was able to confirm only  these two allegations .
   We swept through 13 rooms , one large billiard room , the old Calaveras County Court House (which is now apart of the Ledger) and the wine cellar (which was originally used as the Calaveras County Jail). We captured a few different EVP’s while investigating in the wine cellar ; all of them are class ’’B’’ EVP’s in which We could not  100% determine what was being said . During the investigation in the wine cellar , we were made aware of the presence of another Person  in or near the building. We all thought it was strange because We were under the assumption that there were no other Guests or Employees in the Ledger at this time of the investigation .We could hear this Person watching TV and going about their business in their quarters, so Jason, Ryan and I wanted to find out who this Person was so that we did not mistake their presence as paranormal activity and run the risk of contaminating our evidence . We went in search of the source and location of these noises and as soon as We walked out the front door , our motion detector (which was set up in the old Court House) chimed !!! We were all pretty shocked because as I said before , there were no other Guests or Employees in the Hotel . So what or Who broke the beam on the motion detector is still unknown because our cameras did not pick up anything unusual at the time of this event.  However we did capture a class “B” EVP in this area which we could not make out but  sounds like some kind of heavy whisper attempting to say something. We do know that it is not one of the team members..! We later found out that there is Someone occupying a room on the side of The Hotel Ledger in which ; this room and the Ledger share a dividing wall. This occupant remained in their dwelling during the entire investigation , so we know that this Person could not have contaminated our evidence.

   Another claim that We were able to confirm was that of the Young Child existing near the fire place in room #3. Jason , Ryan and I spent a good deal of time interacting with the Entity  through the use of an  EMF meter . We placed the meter, along with a small flash light on the floor in front of the fire place and then We encouraged the Entity to pick up the flash light , turn it on or simply move it from it’s spot. Each time We would request this of the Entity , the EMF  meter would spike .  We also caught an EVP in this room that seems to say “Yes” in response to Jason’s question, which was “is there someone here with us”.

   This next  piece of evidence is more of a personal experience that Ryan and I were fortunate enough to hear . It was 3:59 am , We had rapped up the investigation and locked up all the equipment. We were  resting in the bed of room #6,  When We heard  a Woman weeping and crying out in the hallway. The cry sounded like a mournful , painful wail . Her cry was heart breaking , it had a very sad and agonizing feel to it .
Could this have been the Ghost of Mary Ledger ,  whom passed away after giving birth to Her third Child ?  We  were  not able to document this sound , so it remains a personal experience, Regardless  We feel that She inhabits The Hotel Ledger and for some reason she remains with it .

I feel a sense of obligation to this Spirit because I could feel the desperation and sadness in Her cry .
I would like to go back to the Ledger to bring relief to this Spirit in morning . Perhaps We could help Her cross over into the light where there is liberation from Her repetitive  sorrow .
Jason , Ryan and I would also like to give a big thanks to Ron and Jane for their superior hospitality
And their open mindedness  regarding the paranormal. We hope to see you again in the near future for another investigation. End Report
