My experience at the Burlington Hotel 11/13/07

I arrived at The Burlington Hotel not knowing what to expect. I had never heard of this place before and didn't know the history other then it used to be a brothel long ago. I entered the building and was told to walk around and get a feel for the place while all the camera's were set up. I immediately felt energy on the first set of stairs that let to the second floor. Walking around the second floor I went into each room that had an open door to see what I could pick up. I found the second floor to have a lot of energy in the halls and in the end bedrooms. I then preceded to the third floor but didn't feel as much energy coming from there. The place as a whole just seemed to have a heaviness about it that seemed to be oozing from the walls. After doing an initial walk thru I reported to Tim my impression. I felt at the time of my initial walk through that the energies were mainly on the second floor and the first stair case leading up to the second floor.
My memory on what room I was in and when is a little fuzzy at this time so I apologize for this.
The first spirit I was in contact with was a woman who identified herself as Sondra. She was one of the ladies of the night who worked at the hotel and died there as well. When I asked if she was a prostitute she at first wouldn't answer. I asked if she worked in the building and she indicated yes through my rods. I asked again if she was a prostitute when she was alive and she stated no. I would have let this go but I kept getting images of different men in the room and felt it was Sondra showing me what she did. This confused me since each time I asked if she was a prostitute she said no. I asked another team member another name for a prostitute and was told Ladies of the Evening would have been used then. So I asked Sondra if she was a lady of the evening and to this she indicated yes.
After this the team members split up into two groups, Noreen Jim and I went up to the 3rd floor. Noreen and Jim went into one room and I went into the adjoining room. I sat in a wooden chair quietly for a few minutes when a spirit came close to me. I found this spirit to be of a woman who had been a lady of the evening who indicated to me that her name was Rose. She worked long hours and didn't get to keep any of the money that she made. When I asked how she died she said that she had hung herself. I noticed while finding out about Rose that I was feeling very depressed while sitting in that room. I felt like I wanted to lay down on the floor and curl up in a ball and just give up. At the time I didn't understand what was happening to me and I just wanted to give up. Noreen came into the room I was in and she started talking about feeling out of sorts. We both admitted to feeling great depression while sitting in the rooms. We then went to another room down the hall to see if the feeling passed. While sitting in this room both Noreen and I felt like we had pains in our chest, like something was squeezing our heart. The feeling of depression didn't end while we sat in this room. I was in contact to a young girl who was 14 and had been sold to the brothel by a male. She didn't tell me who this man was but I got the strong impression that it was her father or a father figure. She was very unhappy at the brothel while she was alive. I asked her how she died and found out she didn't know she was dead and didn't want to accept this. We then went to the other side of the 3rd floor to the room that Sondra had been in and we didn't get much in there. I was feeling better emotionally but Noreen was still having a very hard time with feeling sad and depressed. We then went back down to the 2nd floor to take a break. Noreen continued to become more depressed and upset and finally was convinced to leave the hotel by myself and her husband. Before she left while standing outside I saged her to help remove the negative emotions that had surrounded her while inside the hotel. Once Noreen had left I headed back inside the hotel and up to the 2nd floor. Tim and I went back up to the 3rd floor and sat in a few of the rooms with little evidence of activity. Most of the rest of my time inside the Burlington was spent feeling depressed and watched every where I went. I felt desperation, loneliness and intense despair much of the time there. The women who worked as ladies of the night where treated like slaves and pretty much prisoners in this place. At least that's the impression I was given while spending time there. I truly don't see how anyone can spend much time in there, I was very happy to leave this place after only 4 hours there. I am looking forward to going back to see if I can contact more of these lost women who lived such sad desperate lives.....Donna
