Dr. Grimes Dental Office

Investigation Location:

Dr. Grimes Dental Office; Huntington, WV.

 

Historic Information:

Dr. Grimes Dental Office was formerly a duplex house built in the early 1900's. Bought by Dr. Grimes in the early 1970's paranormal experiences have prevailed through the decades to present day. In fact Dr. Grimes has kept a journal of "ghostly occurrences" that have happened since he purchased the building. Some history of this location includes the deaths of several children one girl in particular named Lavina died in this home as a result of illness. Another death of a baby occurred in the bathroom as a result of a drowning. Dr. Grimes believed Lavina to haunt the rooms of this building although she has not been seen in many years. Still though experiences of  heavy footsteps on the stairways and in the halls can still be heard from time to time, shadows can been seen and even the occasional apparition. For more information about the story behind the haunting of Dr. Grimes Office please see our Haunted West Virginia page for links.

Investigation Overview:

Overall this investigation was quite interesting, Dr Grimes office is a very unique place. We found a several possible explanations for some of the activity reported within the office. There is a back room where we found extremely high EMF readings, an electrical box and some dental equipment were giving off EMF's over 200 milligauss. Aside from this room the EMF readings through the rest of the office were of average range. The only unusual occurrence noted by investigators on this evening was the odor of peaches noted in the upper bedroom that once was thought to belong to Lavina. Several investigators noticed the fragrance and were unable to find the source. Members of Dr. Grimes staff claim they have never noticed any unusual odors in the building before. We had over 20 hours of audio recorded and within that we found 3 possible EVP's, two of those possible EVP's are displayed below, if you would like to comment on any of the EVP's below please feel free to e-mail us at
