| Paranormal Investigation in Mendota Illinois |
| The Paranormal Anomaly Search Team was asked to come to Mendota Illinois to help in the Search for Veronica Jill Blumhorst. Veronica came home from work on September 20, 1990. Her car was found in the garage, but she has never been seen again. There are reports of paranormal activity in the areas near her work and home. On February 27, 2010 the team of John, Kevin and Susanne came to attempt to communicate with Veronica or any entity that may be able to provide information to help locate Veronica. John from the team is not psychic, but he has the ability to see impressions that aide in our investigations. We also use equipment to collect voices, images, or other evidence to explain any found activity. These are our findings. On 9/19/10 they had a Memorial for Veronica. We returned on that day to investigate again. The evidence from this visit is here. |
| We started in a specific wooded area. John began to feel sad in this area. We began to ask questions and for some response if there was an entity there. John was able to get knocks on the tree he was standing by. We attempted to recreate the knocks as a natural event but were unable. The moaning sound you hear in the background are cows. |
| While asking questions John got the phrase of "Not here" and "Not pretty". He felt a strong feeling of a creek by some scattered trees and an open field. We went to a few other locations trying to find that spot. We had information Veronica's I.D. and some personal belongings were found in a plastic bag in the river at a location in town after her disappearance. We went to investigate there. This area was similar to what John saw, but it did not have the field. We caught a sound that may be a gun, It could also be a door as we are in a residential area. What is odd is we heard that sound later. |
| We later found an area that matched what John had seen. We got clarification this is the area where the I.D. and other items were found. We were unable to get any feelings or leads at this location. We went back to the woods, as we had the strongest evidence there out of the many locations we visited. Kevin asked why we were led to that location and we got some interesting results. You will hear what sounds like a gun again, just like before. There was a house about 100 yards away, but this did not sound like a door, it matched the sound from the other location, and we did not hear at the time. When we are investigating and we hear an odd noise, we always mark the tape stating what we heard. We did not mark the tape because we did not hear it while we were at the location. There is also a voice response which is unclear and we could not clean up. There is then a second voice at the end which is very clear. |
| We went to the garage where Veronica's car was found. John picked up the feeling Veronica got out of her car, walked to the alley and got into another vehicle, all of free will. Once she got to the car, John lost the impression of her. This is a picture of the garage. |
| The last stop on investigation was Sullivan's Foods. People claim accounts of paranormal activity at this location. The building and parking lot were put in right after Veronica's disappearance. The location is also across the street from the Super Valu that she work at and left at midnight that evening. John kept sensing a feeling in the corner of the parking lot, although it was nothing clear. Susanne was asking questions inside to verify if anyone was there, and trying to get information to determine who it may be. She caught this on a digital recorder. |
| What is interesting about this clip is the sound we heard again, It is heard after we ask what to look for, and then it states "it's in the water". Were we being told the gun or something linked to it is in the water? We believe there is strong evidence at the location we went to after John saw the image. |
| Update 9/29/13. Todd Blumhorst, Veronica's brother and leader in the fight to not give up the search passed away. Todd was recently diagnosed with cancer. Although he was a fighter for victims everywhere, Todd was unable to fight the cancer. As it currently stands Todd was unable with the help of many others to find Veronica. At this point he is finally reunited with her. |
