Public Investigation at Jacob Keim Homestead- Saturday September 11, 2010
Due to the success of the public investigation held at the same site on August 6, 2010, RPS has decided to once again revisit the homestead. Once again, only 15 spots will be available for this investigation, and your spot is only secured when RPS has received payment for the event ahead of the event date. $25 is the price per person to join RPS on an investigation at Keim Homestead. Half of your proceeds will be donated to the Historic Preservation Trust of Berks County, the non-profit organization that owns the building and several other historic structures in Berks County.
Here is a link to their website: http://www.historicpreservationtrust.org
On this website, you will find brief histories of each of the buildings that the Preservation Trust owns, including Jacob Keim Homestead. RPS has visited the homestead many times: 3 times for RPS group investigations, once with a medium/empath that works directly with RPS on certain occasions, once to do a major cleanup of the building and the rest of the property, and one more time to conduct a public investigation. It is safe to say that the members of RPS know the farmhouse, ancillary workshop, and barn inside and out. Plenty of EVPs have been produced from Keim Homestead. You can check these out on our EVPs page and consequent subpages. Some impressive EVPs were also captured during the public investigation on August 6th.
Please, if you wish to attend the event on September 11th, act now because spots are going fast. To reserve a spot, e-mail Mike, co-founder of RPS, at msnyder@readingparanormalsociety.com. Please do not click the above link, but type it into your personal e-mail composer. If this does not suit you, call Mike anytime of the day at 610-763-2585. If there is no answer, please leave a voicemail, and he will get to you as soon as possible.

Investigation at the Wyomissing Public Library - September 2010
Though many claims have not come out of the library, the staff has called RPS in to do an invesigation of the facility due to some strange sensations that some patrons have felt in the past. The most likely spirit candidates that could be present in the library would be that of the Thun family, a prosperous family in the mid-1800's to early 1900's when Wyomissing officially became a borough. Ferdinand Thun and Henry Janssen were key leaders to the development of Wyomissing because of the ample employment opportunities for all Berks County residents at their textile mills. These textile and fabric mills were higly prestigious in the 1890's for their state-of-the-art machinery and methods. These buildings still stand today; howeve these buildings now serve as a huge retail sales campus called the Vanity Fair Outlets.
The Thun women and various other women of the community were instrumental in the forming of the first public library in Wyomissing. Though its location changed a few times in the early 1900's, the library has stayed at its current address since 1931, with just a few remodels and renovations. The Thun women put their blood, sweat, tears, and lots of money into developing a library that could suit the community for many years, and maybe still to this day they are watching over the daily flow of events and activities.
