Many
visitors come to an area known as Okie Pinokie, which is
located off of River Road in the Frances Slocum State Forest
in Peru,
Indiana. Okie Pinokie is known quite well not only because
of the many reported claims of paranormal activity that take
place there, but also a popular place for people to hang out
and congregate. Illegal situations unfortunately occur
frequently there that require law enforcement officers to
patrol the area.
Situation:
Unexplainable phenomena has been reported to take place at
Okie Pinokie for many years. This location once was swampy
and marshy territory, and Mississinewa staff have reported
that at least 8 decaying bodies have been found there. It
is said that if you whistle at Okie Pinokie, you will hear
someone or something whistle back to you from deep in the
forest. Also it has been mentioned that satanic rituals have
been performed out in the forest at Okie Pinokie.
Supposedly a young girl was raped and tortured out in the
woods and there have been reports of the voice of a young
girl being heard in the woods by several visitors. Almost
every website that talks about Okie Pinokie that involves
other groups or individuals who have gone out there to see
if the claims were true of paranormal activity state not to
use an Ouija board because the spirits that supposedly exist
there do not like it. Members of the MRIPA and O.P.I. teams
set up the base station on the round-about that is located
at the end of the dirt road that leads into the Frances
Slocum State Forest. Five night vision cameras were set up
around the base station facing in five different directions:
South, Southwest, West, Northwest, and North. Five team
members did a perimeter sweep before the actual
investigation began. Three teams of three people set out
onto three different paths into the forest, while 2 team
members monitored the group’s activity from the base
station. A digital recorder was placed on a tree
stump located by the river bank. Each team had flashlights,
a digital recorder, digital camera, EMF meter, and IR
Thermometer. Two teams had hand held night vision video
cameras.
Investigation Highlights and Evidence:
During the perimeter sweep several cold spots were
discovered close to the edge leading down to the river bank
and several light anomalies were caught on different digital
cameras. During the actual investigation a female voice was
caught on the digital recorder that was placed on a tree
stump located by the river bank, with what sounded like a
voice saying, “help.” Brian of OPI caught footsteps on the
digital recorder that he was carrying and also the sound of
someone or something whistling back to them after a team
member started to whistle into the forest.
Invalidated
Data: The moving water running over rocks in
the river at certain locations sounded like footsteps
following behind. Some pictures taken with the digital
cameras picked up light sources that were either rain
droplets that reflected the glare from the camera flash and
other photos were the camera flashes bouncing off insects
that were flying by at the time the picture was being
taken.
*The
investigation was cut off short about three hours early due
to an unexpected thunderstorm. Based off what was discovered
during this investigation, it has been determined that a
follow-up investigation of Okie Pinokie will occur at a
later date.*
