Inside this investigation
The upstairs experiment combines a Ouija board, a black scrying mirror, recording equipment and a ghost box. During the session I report an intense sensation around my neck; later the team documents a raised mark resembling a six. The description locates that examination at 1:35:23. The video records our observations and reaction, but it does not establish the cause of the mark. Follow the sequence before and after the examination, including how the team responds and documents what it sees.
I suggest watching the setup before jumping to the most striking reaction. Ask what the investigators are doing, which device is producing information and what the camera can actually show. The chapter controls help you return to a moment while keeping that wider sequence available. The complete original notes below preserve the account as it was supplied. Use this episode's discussion to share an exact timestamp, a screenshot where useful and a clear distinction between your observation and your explanation. The neighboring episodes provide additional context for how the investigation developed.

A NUMBER 6 APPEARED ON MY NECK DURING A LIVE GHOST HUNT AT THE WELLES HOUSE. What caused the mark after our Ouija board experiment? I'm Tim Wood, founder of LiveSciFi, and this is Episode 16 of A House Worse Than Amityville, our extended paranormal investigation inside the reportedly haunted Welles House at 46 South Welles Street in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. JJ, Dave Spinks, and I checked EMF readings and investigated reported footsteps before taking a Ouija board, black scrying mirror, tape recorder, and ghost box into the upstairs "Hell Room." During the experiment I felt an intense sensation around my neck. At 1:35:23, the others noticed a raised mark that looked like the number 6. We stopped, recorded the mark on camera, and took photographs. It appeared to fade afterward. I cannot tell you from that footage alone what caused it, but I want you to see the sequence for yourself. The investigation didn't end there. We tested an Xbox Kinect motion-tracking system near the staircase, where we had reported a lot of unexplained activity. The display showed strange skeletal distortions. Later, Dave conducted a flashlight session on those same stairs and became physically ill afterward. Neither event proves a haunting. Watch each moment and decide what you believe.

3:02:18 - Questions about the house's reported past THE MARK ON MY NECK - WATCH 1:35:23
My neck felt like it was burning. JJ and Dave saw a 6-shaped mark, then filmed it as it faded. Could it have been an ordinary skin irritation, pressure, or a scratch we didn't notice at the time? The video documents the experience, but it doesn't establish its cause. Look closely and tell me what you see. THE SCRYING MIRROR, OUIJA BOARD, AND VOICES
We used the board alongside a dark mirror and several audio devices, trying to follow up on names and stories raised during the investigation. We discussed a possible woman seen in the mirror and interpreted several noises and box responses as words. Some questions touched on alleged curses, hidden symbols, and historical tragedies. These are unverified claims, not established house history. Ghost boxes and white-noise apps can produce accidental word-like fragments, so listen with that possibility in mind. KINECT FIGURES ON THE STAIRCASE - WATCH 2:19:49
We positioned an Xbox Kinect to track movement around the stairs. Its infrared depth sensor can generate a human-shaped skeleton from the scene, but it can also misread objects and produce false body maps. During the experiment, the displayed figure looked distorted. Does it match anyone in view, or is the software struggling with the environment? Compare the video feed and the tracking display rather than judging a single frame. DAVE'S FLASHLIGHT SESSION - WATCH 2:34:23
Dave asks questions while a flashlight turns on and off. After the session, he reports feeling overwhelmed and nauseated, and the team helps him recover. The timing was unsettling to us, but the footage alone doesn't determine why he felt sick or why the flashlight changed state. Watch and decide for yourself HELP US REVIEW THE ORIGINAL FOOTAGE
Did you notice the neck mark changing shape? Can you hear a distinct voice on the EVP recorder? Did the candle move, or could something nearby explain it? Did you catch any orb-like lights, shadows, or unusual movement on the infrared cameras? Please leave the EXACT TIMESTAMP and describe the camera, sound, or object you're referring to. Clear observations are more useful than simply saying "ghost." Our viewers have helped us revisit moments that were easy to miss during these long live investigations.
