There may be spirit activity going on here.
Nicholas: What year did you perish? How did you perish?
William: If there's anybody here show yourself and let us know.
I've been constantly wondering more about the kind of energy here.
Nicholas: Are you a ghost? Are you a poltergeist? Are you a demon?
There may indeed be a chain of unexplained phenomenon in this town associated with the battle.
My name is Nicholas.
I am a young paranormal investigator in search of proof of the spirit world.
I am also a person that can easily sense and feel spirit energy around me.
I am joined by my uncle and cameraman William,
and my father and executive producer Nick.
We will search for ghosts at some of the world's most creepiest haunts.
This is A Haunted Legacy.
The Battle of Fort Slongo. One of the most memorable and impactful events to occur on Long Island, NY.
In the 1780's, the American troops had successfully defeated the British. And consequently, this led to the development of a town named after the fort and battle known as Fort Salonga.
When we first became aware of this event and battlefield, we were also informed that there may be spirit activity going on here.
My team and I have obviously done two paranormal investigations at the shopping plaza that's adjacent to the info sign.
During our first investigation at the shopping plaza, we try to get a sense of what kind of paranormal phenomenon is present.
Next I did a solo mission at the same shopping plaza and aimed to further study the energy and heavy breathing I experienced the time before.
After these two searches, I've been constantly wondering more about the kind of energy here. So I did more research and came up with a game plan, then I shared it  with my team, and we soon headed out to make it happen.
Nicholas: So I made it back to Fort Salonga, NY with my team, and today we're here for a very important task.
As you may know back in 2015, I investigated the shopping plaza and the parking lot with my crew including my grandma Helen. And then I did a solo mission at that shopping plaza in 2017.
During both of these times, we came in search of any phantoms associated with the Battle of Fort Slongo.
And the reason why I came back, is not too long ago, I discovered that the site of the battle and the fort was not even at the shopping plaza. But rather on a residential street named British Colony Road.
So unfortunately, we don't have access to that road. So instead I decided to bring my team here to the state park with all of these  open woodlands to see if there's any ghosts or spirits here.
And every year, people from the town dress up as the troops from the battle, and they stand in single file and they point their guns and they shoot them.
But they might serve as a trigger for any of the spirits in case they're here, and therefore ignite some activity. So get ready because you're coming with us.
This is the Fort Slongo Battlefield: The Extension.
We all made our way up the stairwell and into the shade.
Our goal for this mission is to try and figure out what kind of spirit energy is actually present.
Nicholas: Alright so now that we're up here, we're going to start our investigation.
What we're going to do first, is we're going to walk around all this open field this grassland right here and see if we can come into contact with any of the spirits that are attached to these grounds due to these reenactments happening.
So I'm going to split up my team, I'm going to spend some more time with my uncle William, and then the second half I'm going to spend more time with my father and see if we can do some elaboration on this investigation and see if we can get some  responses or any spikes through the meters that I have.
So I'm going to start with you uncle William, so let's split up. Alright so uncle William what I want you to do is I want you to hold the ghost meter, I'm holding the K2 meter.
I want you to hold the ghost meter EMF meter that's in my pocket. This is your job. Just push this button to turn it on and just follow my lead.
Nicholas: Yep follow me. Dad you follow us too.
My team and I walked in single file and did some ITC and EVP recording sessions.
My uncle William and I both asked the questions.
Nicholas: Alright who's here on the Fort Slongo Battlefield premises? We come in peace, we don't intrude on you. If there's any people from the time of the Fort Slongo Battlefield, (the Battle of Fort Slongo), can you state your name?
What year did you die?
What year? What year did you perish? How did you perish?
Can you give us an indicator that you're here? My name is Nicholas, and this is my uncle William, and this is my father Nick, and we're in search of any truth here.
Are there any British troops lingering around these grounds from the Battle of Fort Slongo? Are there any American troops? Are there any ghosts, human spirits that want to contact me?
See this device right here? It's called a K2 EMF meter. This picks up on your energy so can you manifest yourself some way? Can you stand in front of this meter here?  So we know that you're here?
Don't be afraid to come to us. Don't be afraid to come to my voice.
Now I want you to say something. Can you
ask a question?
William: If there's any spirits or ghosts or whatever, show yourself. If there's anybody here show yourself and let us know why you're here how you you know, what happened to you and all the circumstances.
Nicholas: So you hear my uncle William? Now so come to his voice as well as mine.
I analyzed our first session.
Nicholas: Let's review my session.
Nicholas on Recorder: Alright who's here on the Fort Slongo Battlefield premises?
We come in peace, we don't intrude on you. If there's any people from the time of the Fort Slongo Battlefield, (the Battle of Fort Slongo), can you state your name?
Nicholas: Let's try again.
No voices were captured so far.
Also when my uncle William was filming, his camera screen turns into a purplish color automatically. This continued to happen as we proceeded with our hunt.
When I first saw this as I reviewed our footage, I was befuddled by this.
Spirits are well known for playing around with your cameras and paranormal gear. As well as draining your batteries, even if you put new ones in.
For now, this occurrence is left unanswered.
Nicholas: Alright let's do another session now.
Let's see. Alright now uncle William we're gonna switch now, can you hold this meter? I'll take that one?
My uncle's camera screen then turns purple once again.
Nicholas: Now I want you to... let me see. Can you go by the that sewer thing over there? That round thing right by that tree? Right behind that tree and see if you feel anything?
We don't know for sure if this is our camera just malfunctioning or a spirit fiddling around with our camera. And the amount of time that it stays purple seems to extend itself.
Nicholas: So we've split up now. I'm in the center, and my uncle's over there, and my father's over here.
Woah the meter's going up a little bit.
William: Is anybody here? Can you contact with us?
Show yourself. Make yourself present.
Nicholas: Are you a ghost? Are you a poltergeist? Are you a demon? What are you?
Are there any human spirits present here? Colonial spirits?
Then we all regrouped with each other and moved on to another side of the woods. I sent my father Nick off into the wooded area with the K2 EMF meter in his hand in hopes of potentially deriving a spike.
Meanwhile my uncle William and I both continued to explore for the energy and did more sessions.
Nicholas: Alright come on speak the truth. Are there any ghosts, or demons, poltergeists here on these grounds? I'm not afraid to speak to you neither is my team and we don't want to intrude on you.
We don't want to provoke you in any way shape or form. We just want to capture evidence that you're here and this definitely is legit.
There may indeed be a chain of unexplained phenomenon in this town associated with the battle.
So far I'm getting the impression that there could either be residual or intelligent spirit energy here.
Nicholas: I keep hearing noises from squirrels, but there's a lot of distractions right there.
So uncle William how do you feel about this land? Do you as usual, do you feel anything or do you can you sense like a  vibration from the past?
William: No I'm really I'm serious nothing.
Nicholas: Yeah. How do you feel about the...Can you recall those investigations that we did at the shopping plaza?
William: Yeah.
Nicholas: Does it compare to it in any way? Do you feel like there's residual energy?
William: No that was a public place and back then there was people in and out of the stores and everything. It was different.
Nicholas: Yeah and do you think that, I told you that people do reenactments here.
William: Yeah.
Nicholas: They dress up as the British troops and they stand in single file pretty much where I'm standing.
William: Yeah.
And they point their guns and they might trigger some of the spirits or pull upon them. Do you think that might be real? Authentic? Be honest you can tell me.
William: It could be. But again maybe.
I sent my uncle William off to do his own EVP session.
Nicholas: So now I want you to hold the voice recorder. Just press the red button, and then walk this way.
William: If there's anybody here, please show yourself. Say something.
Sadly no readings were received from my father on the K2 meter.
Nick: It stayed there on the left.
Nicholas: Well this is yellow it's right in the middle.
Nick: Well yeah it stayed on green.
William: Please something. Don't be afraid to show yourself or to say anything.
Make yourself present.
Nicholas: Follow me.
William: Anybody?
If you don't want to be bothered, just say
so and we'll leave you alone.
Nicholas: Uncle William's asking questions over there to try and get some more evidence hopefully. Now I'm going to focus on this spot right here.
I'm using my sense of smell in case I smell anything good or bad. They say when you're in the presence of a good spirit or a bad spirit, there's different smells.
Like when you're in the presence of a demonic spirit or an evil spirit, it might smell like rotting flesh or burnt feces. Whereas a good spirit might smell like lavender or a rose. So I'm using my sense of smell as I investigate.
I then asked some deeper questions.
Nicholas: Anyone here? Talk to me.
Are there more men here than women? How many men are lingering these grounds if there are any? If there's more than one how about this, if there's more than five spirits present here, can you make this thing light up?
If there's one spirit present here, can you make this thing go up?
How many? I'm going to count from one to ten, whatever number you are, make this thing spike.
One spirit, two spirits, three spirits, four spirits, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Incredibly, my K2 meter spikes at 2.5 milligauss when I reached the number five. Possibly indicating that there are a total of five spirits plaguing these grounds.
I tried to debunk this occurrence by looking for any utility poles, but there were none close by. What makes this even more interesting, is that the reading that it spiked at was 2.5, and it has the number five in the number.
When I first discovered this, I was completely shocked and it made me believe more that this was something paranormal.
Nicholas: Four spirits, five. (3x)
I'm just going to sit against this tree.
With no other things going on, we all wrapped up our investigation of this wooded area in Fort Salonga, NY.
Nicholas: So our time at the Fort Slongo Battlefield or this park, this this town park was very quick. But the only thing that I have to say about the evidence is that every time I walk around here, I get this vibe, like I feel the vibrations of the energy and the battle the remnants of the battle here even though we didn't capture anything.
So I'm not concluding that this place isn't haunted or affiliated with any energy, but it's open for all people for any other investigator that wants to come here and explore these grounds, we're opening it to you right now. So don't close this place up because you never know.
Just because we didn't find anything really, doesn't mean that I'm wrong. So you have to consider that about going here if you want to find ghosts. So I think we're done here for now. That's a wrap.
The Battle of Fort Slongo and it's paranormal associations have intrigued us all for numerous years.
This time we all came to investigate in a wooded area approximately five minutes away from the shopping plaza, and we seeked to find the truth about the unworldly phenomena.
Even though we couldn't explore the actual site of the fort and battle (British Colony Road), we wanted to choose this area. Because annual reenactments of the battle take place here, and more importantly the people who were involved may attract some of the souls from that era.
And we're all still trying to determine the cause for my uncle's camera screen to turn purple.
And thanks to the reenactments, they've made us all believe that our theories about this property possibly being haunted may prove an important point.
