S1 Ep75: Where did Harvey Parker's ghost go and possible accidental EVP?

The Omni Parker House in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of three romantic historic hotels with haunted 10th floors. (The other two are The Skirvin Hilton in Oklahoma City and The Drake in Chicago.) However, the Omni Parker House may have the most active 10th floor of them all.
\\n
\\n\\n
\\n
Even better, the Omni Parker House is very open about its restless spirits. The concierges keep a \\u201cGhostly Encounters\\u201d handout handy for your reading pleasure if you care \\u2014or should I say, \\u201cdare\\u201d\\u2014 to read it. Of the eight stories on the sheet, half of them are about paranormal activity on the 10th floor. Are we now among those who experienced some?
\\n
\\nPerhaps. Which we\'ll get to, both in this description and the second half of this episode.
\\n
\\nAnyway, one of the stories on the sheet was about a Harvey Parker ghost sighting in room 1012.\\xa0
\\n
\\nDuring my research into the haunted hotel, I came across Unpacked: A blog by Omni Hotels and Resorts. In 2016, they did a Haunted Hotels series. One of the hotels they featured was \\u201cBoston\\u2019s Omni Parker House.\\u201d
\\n
\\nThis part of the article caught my eye:\\xa0
\\n
\\n\\n
\\n
To those who knew Harvey Parker, such sightings \\u2014 which have not been reported for two decades now \\u2014 could hardly come as a shock.
It reminded me of the \\u201cMost durable ghosts\\u201d entry in the 1989 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, which I\'d picked up to verify whether they really had named Pluckley the most haunted village. (They did. See "Related posts" below if you want to read more."
\\n
\\nBut the "Most durable ghost" section began:
\\n
\\n
\\nGhosts are not immortal and seem to deteriorate after 400 years.
I don\'t know how durable ghosts are and whether or not they deteriorate after 400 years but say that was true.\\xa0
\\n
\\nHarvey Parker died in 1884. He\\u2019s only 136-years-old in ghost years. So where did his ghost go?
\\n
\\n\\n
\\n

\\nBONUS: EVP?\\n

\\n

\\n
\\n
I also included audio from a video recording when I was exploring the various allegedly haunted floors. It happened when I was on my way to check out room 1012.
\\n
\\n
\\nI wasn\'t investigating. I was just having a look around, but did I accidentally catch an EVP?\\xa0
\\n
\\nGive it a listen and see what you think.
