Fort Totten ND
What a wild and crazy weekend at one of if not the only western Prarie fort you can actually spend a night in. The officers quarters is now a air bnb and as luck would have it we were the only ones renting one of 10 rooms they have. so we had literally the entire fort to ourselves basically all weekend . The inn keeper and her husband were in an apt adjacent our room but they kept to themselves so I dont think any of our evidence can be attributed to them once so ever. Built after the civil war in a time when the us waged war against native peoples and forts were starting to dot the plains and Midwest to protect government interests this one built in the end of the 1860s being finally completed fully in 1870 used as military post until 1890. After that from 1891 till 1960 it was an indian boarding school where the gov appointed nuns and church groups to basically attempt to colonize native kids and get them to conform to our stands ironically the nuns sent here were from Canada just north of our state and only spoke French so they had to hire translators to go from French to indian to get everyone to try and speak English. Just one of thr many failures of this post in its long dark and sad history. Thankfully today most of the fort buildings and all were transfered to state property in the 1960 and immediately became a museum most forts were stripped and torn down once the military left this one being only a handful of western forts still boasting all its original buildings. I very much expected some activities but basically from friday evening before we even set up till today when we left it wasjust a flood of non stop action. Our room we got was recommended for ghosts and it didnt disappoint we set up a rem pod on the desk table and it went off regularly all weekend along with a k2 at the end of the desk and a laser trip grid at the closed and locked door almost as if someone constantly came through went to the desk then left. We also got a few hits on our sls camera , the twist style mag lights were a huge hit we got alot of those to turn off and on by themselves, our tracer wire we set in the hall went off alot while we sat in the parlor asking questions. Today with the museum open we were told to check out the theater there opened in 1960 and used up until 5 years ago and it didnt disappoint. From the start we heard footsteps in stage cassidy witnessed a shadow walking in front of a backdrop and the rem pod temp sensor pinged 5 or 6 times. We will have to condense and review all evidence but once its shareable I will postit here. It truly was a magical weekend at the mist active site we have been to yet and thats including waverly hills. Idk if theyre just bored and like the company when they get it or like playing with electronics but wow that was wild.
