The Fort Wayne Story (1959)
Black and white 16mm film containing the program The Fort Wayne Story, presented by the Detroit Historical Museum and Detroit Historical Society. The film is hosted by Glenn G. Stille, the curator of military history, and in the later portion he is joined by Robert E. Lee, exhibits preparator at the Fort Wayne Military Museum.
The film begins with Stille seated behind a desk, with a large drawing of Fort Wayne behind him. In his introduction, he discusses the fort's recent role as an induction center during the Korean War, and shows a map of the fort's location relative to downtown. He then begins detailing the city's prior forts beginning with Fort Pontchartrain in 1701. As the camera pans across a model of the fort, he discusses the three expansions of the fort, and Detroit's early French history. He then moves forward to 1778, and the British-built Fort Lernoult. Again, another model is shown. Stille explains that the fort was renamed Fort Shelby by the Americans, and fell out of use by 1826. Before moving to the construction of Fort Wayne in 1848, Stille mentions the Detroit barracks at Gratiot Avenue and Russell Street which were used to house troops in the interim. He also briefly describes the Patriot War of the 1830s and tensions along the Canadian border.
Stille begins detailing the features of Fort Wayne using another model. He points out the demi-lune, embankments, artillery mounts, the entrance, power magazine, and barracks. Then over actual footage of the fort, he expounds on the dry moat, outer embankment and walls. He then focuses on the entrance way, specifically its doors, the entrance tunnel, and the adjacent casement. Inside the fort he then details the powder magazine, and barracks.
Robert E. Lee then joins Stille at the desk to talk about the fort's exhibits. First he shows the panels situated in the entrance tunnel which provide a timeline of Detroit's history prior to Fort Wayne. Each panel includes a representative flag. The panels are titled, 1701-1760 Cadillac, 1760-1796 The British, 1796-1812 American Occupation, 1812-1813 Surrender!!, and 1813-1840 Cold War. After briefly mentioning displays of firearms in the entrance way, he then turns toward the Firepower exhibit inside the barracks. At the desk, Lee shows a Colt revolver and a Civil War-era carbine rifle from the exhibit. He also mentions two rooms of Native American displays. Again, at the desk, he showcases a French-made pipe tomahawk,a boiling stone, and a moccasin. FInally Lee mentions the fort's Sherman tank, and stresses its popularity with children.
In the film's conclusion, Stille provides directions to the museum, its hours, and phone number.
The film is housed within a grey tin with a WTVS label. The label is marked, The Fort Wayne Story, #529, 3/11/58, Produced by Glenn Stille and Bob Lee.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Historic Fort Wayne Ghost Hunt
Ghost Hunt of Historic Fort Wayne, Detroit Michigan. On April 14/15 2012 as part of the Haunted Hamilton bus trip.
This hunt was a treat as it was the first time I have investigated a historic Fort. Very old tunnels and casemates that date back to the mid 1800s, along with some creepy looking buildings that have been around since the Civil War.
The tour was great, I really appreciated the guides giving us the stories of past paranormal experiences as well as the history of the grounds themselves. Big thanks again to the awesome folks of Metro Paranormal Investigations again. :D
I got to be completely uninhibitedly solo again for the whole evening again (yay). But, having a lot of outdoor ground to cover between buildings and caverns, there was wind noise and 'horn wars' between ships/trains in the area that made for quite a bit of tossed audio for me. Unfortunately, as with the previous two ghost hunts I have been on, I did not walk away with any one single wow moment as good as TALA (my holy grail it seems these days). The closest moments were thinking I heard my name called out in the mystery house as I called it, and at the end of the whole night, 4:15ish in the N-W casemate, where I did hear and captured on my recorder a voice saying Adam's camera. Which was pretty cool thinking about it in hindsight, maybe my expectations have become too high, eegads sorry. :( As always, despite any solid OMG A REAL LIFE GHOST moment, I had an absolute blast. A tie between the mystery house and that N-W casemate for my favorite investigation spots, however not once did I get the lead sinkers on my legs feeling I typically get in these haunted places, weird.
Gear wise, this time I brought out my night vision scope, with the E_T mcgyver camera holder on it. Alas I don't think I caught anything cool on it, still one can never have enough gear (even though it is a huge pita to lug around). Also I gave the white noise/radio sweep that I've seen on GA so many times a go. I think I got some results from it, * does wonder if some are audio matrixing*. I did not hear anything in person at the time like on the shows, aside from a grunt noise, conveniently didn't seem to be there in editing. I used FM static thru a Line 6 pod effects to get it to sound like the sweeping noise in the show. I will be trying AM static for the next hunt to see if that makes a difference.
Overall I still have to say it was another great ghost hunt. For a location that close to home, I don't think it can be beat for a visit or a ghost hunt. Hope to return there again some day down the road too.
To add in: this video represents just all the weird/odd anomalies I think I have caught on video/audio while I was there. Most of my audio editing is done with a pair of headphones to really listen in on things.
