Hey Colleen! I should probably tell you why we hear "Go Away". My husband and I went to Villisca this past spring with a whole group of people. The group is led by Ursula Bielski and Ed Shanahan (Chicago Hauntings). They have many cool trips they go on. We spent all night in the house experiencing crazy things.
When we first got there we were given a tour of the home. A bunch of us were upstairs in the children's bedroom. We were messing around with the closet door trying to debunk it by opening it, closing it, slamming it, etc. The house is very old, as you know, and the door was very hard to shut all the way. You'd close it and it would stick partway in the doorjam. You really had to give it a hard hit slam to get it closed all the way. We started asking the children if they could open/close the door for us - to no avail. We shut the door as far as we could and one of our group members had her hand at the crack of the door. She said something like, "I didn't think they'd do it anyway". As soon as she said that, the door slammed all the way shut on her finger and gave her a bad blood blister. I saw the whole thing. NO ONE had been touching the door when it happened! It was awesome (except that she got hurt).
Later in the evening, my hubby put our digital voice recorder in the upstairs closet and closed the door leaving it in there. We all went downstairs for our "circle of energy". This is when Ed Shanahan (our psychic) leads our group in contacting the spirits at the location. We had a couple sensitives in our group and they were all feeling the same thing - the murderer is stuck in the home because of what he did. We had a ghost box running the whole time and we heard him speak to us many times. The name "Blackie" came through clear as a bell on several occasions. And he was mad as hell. So Ed started taunting him and there was a lot of anger felt in the room. "How could you do such a thing to an innocent family? Especially the poor children! You're a sick S.O.B. You know that don't you?" On the ghost box, he was telling us to go away. During all this is when we picked up the EVP. If you notice, he sounds pissed! Because of the circumstances, we're almost positive that's what he said.
Later on, I think it was around 3am or so, something else happened. One of the sensitives was standing in the kitchen by herself when a few of us came back inside from having a smoke. She was standing there with a startled look on her face. She said, right before we walked in, she heard a little girl giggling right by her. So we decided to investigate. We went into the downstairs sewing room (where the Stillinger girls were murdered). We were trying to get them to talk to us. About 10 minutes into it, a couple of us heard a little girl whispering in the closet. So we pulled back the closet curtain and started asking questions. All of a sudden something moved in there. It startled us. There was no one in the closet. As we went to leave after recovering from our shock, about 5 of us were standing in the kitchen talking. Three of us, including myself, heard a noise coming from the back sewing room that we'll never forget. "Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip." It was a very thick sounding drip. Not like water - like blood. Now remember, there's no plumbing or electricity in the house.
It's a long story, I know. And if you stuck with it and are still reading this, I'm glad you did. I'm not a great writer but I did the best I could. Villisca Axe Murder House is a must see! There is definitely something going on there. What we experienced there is, I believe, a combination of an intelligent haunting (we communicated with the murderer) and a residual haunting (we heard the little girl hiding in the closet and then the blood dripping). Go there. You will never forget your experience and you will be changed forever. I feel drawn there. There's this incredible need to go back and help those poor children.
Here's a thought that just popped into my head: I want to go back there - desperately. If any of you'd like to go, we should reserve a date there and spend the night. I know it's expensive with gas prices. But if enough of us go, we could carpool. Drop me a line if you're interested. I have no problem handling all the details and planning it all. I promise, it will be a night you'll never forget.
