This album is not an album. It is actually 3 individual pieces recorded by Jay Watson, Justin Lee Smith, and Sean Barry in an infamous haunted warehouse in Southwest Detroit, Michigan with a sordid past. The building was once a speakeasy, with prostitution, gambling, and alcohol available upstairs. After that, there was a fire and the place was declared abandoned for many years. Eventually in the 1980's-1990's it began to be inhabited by vagrants, bums, crack heads. junkies, alcoholics, prostitutes, and those going through extreme despair. An old woodworker decided to buy the building, planning to turn the place into the factory of his dreams...Multiple dead bodies were found in various rooms and had to be removed...Overdose victims, people who froze to death at the hands of cruel Michigan winters, and some causes unknown. He started to make headway in the twisted labyrinth of a building it was, but at some point his health began to decline and his addictions to booze, tobacco, and young ladies grew. After a heart attack he decided to sell the building, despite his fading dreams...It was too much for his body and mind to handle. The building was bought by a group of artists who I rented a space from through a recommendation of a close friend who was also living there at the time. I was slightly apprehensive, as the few times I was over to his space prior to this he was already burning sage to clear some strange presence he felt there. It seemed to be helping. The first night I stayed the night there, something weird happened. Actually is was downright scary, and I love Horror novels and films. I was sitting on a chair, placed above what appeared to be a sewer drain with a lid, like you would see out in the street, anyway I am sitting here in the dark, talking on the phone with my girlfriend at the time. Out of the blue this insane digital shrieking came over the line, something louder than I have ever heard a phone capable of omitting. My girlfriend never heard it. I decided then to not disrespect this sewer drain, and whatever was down there. It never happened again, and I always kept this experience in the back of my mind. During the 1.5 years that I lived here, lots of unsettling things happened here. I learned that one of the bodies had been removed from my room personally, a frozen corpse that appeared to be a wino who ran out of hope. One day I returned from work at a local record shop to find that the double sided mirror that was mounted on the outside of my door had fallen and broken in a very curious way. The panel it fell on was unbroken, but the back panel of glass was shattered in a delirious pattern that I still can't make sense of. The most notable event was when I was moving out. I forgot to mention that the first day I moved in, I placed an old Ouija board that I had originally used with my best friend around 12 years old to contact my dead Grandfather in my closet, successful I might add, and later used it for many years to cut up and snort lines of Coke, Meth, and Oxy. Anyway, I kept this thing with me since, and I placed it in this glass enclosed display case that was left in the room I was renting. It stayed there the entire time, but on the day I moved out, I decided to take out the Ouija board and thought to myself "I'll just put this down here"...Like in a box that I was getting ready to load up. The moment my internal dialogue eneded, an entire stack of boxes of CDs, tools, clothes, records, movies, paperwork, etc. fell crashing to the ground. Chills engulfed my entire body, and it was very difficult to even enter the building after this experience. After analyzing these raw recordings, we have uncovered sounds in the mix that we never made, and that were never intended to become this "haunt"...
