Captain The Ghost Hunting Dog’s 1st Investigation
The PI Team takes our clients confidentially requests very seriously. This means there will be many investigations and some evidence we are not able to discuss or share publicly. That being said we also have investigations which are open season when it comes to sharing the details of these investigations. Last Friday night’s investigation at the Old Utah County Jail was one of those investigations we can share with you.
This massive, abandoned structure hidden on the hillside in Utah County was a perfect opportunity to bring along The Captain, our K-9 investigator. Perfect other than the fact some vandals had smashed a fair share of windows in the building leaving some areas off limits for Captain keeping his safety in mind. The PI Team was almost at full strength and we broke up into three teams to effectively cover the entire structure with minimal chance for evidence contamination.
For those who may not know, The Captain has been trained in a revolutionary new concept that as far as I can tell has not yet been done before. Yes, dogs do have that crazy 6th sense, can see better than us in low light, and hear things outside of human hearing capability however we took it a step further. With lots of thought and countless hours of training The Captain “smells” electromagnetic fields and alerts the team of their presence. A dog’s primary sense is that of smell and is so advanced it’s almost beyond comprehension. Through our training the Captain has time and again identified these fields flawlessly.

The jail was an excellent opportunity for Captain to do his thing as there is no electricity at all in the structure. The only electricity present was that from the generator we brought to run the static IR cams and a couple lights around our control center. The Captain preformed his duties flawlessly as he swept through the facility with that nose going non-stop. Unfortunately, as you will find at times with paranormal investigating, it was a “quiet” night in that aspect and there was not a lot of EM spikes for him to hit on. None the less we have a few things that we have captured and are finishing up our review shortly and will be able to report our findings.
We will be bringing The Captain on another investigation this Saturday night at a notorious local haunt and we expect better opportunity to showcase what this little 85 lb. lab can do. Ghosts are on notice! Stay tuned!

I would like to ask, why is it that more paranormal investigators don’t use dogs? Animals have been known to see things we can’t therefore doesn’t it make sense to include at least one on every investigation? I’m not saying they need to be trained, that’s not necessary. You can tell by their reaction that something is amiss.

Hey Laura – Great question. The problem is that most people may not understand what the dog might see and be reacting to. If more folks would take the time to research and understand animal/canine behavior I bet they would take more dogs into the field. Otherwise it can just be a distraction and take away from an investigation. Thanks for your question!
