Tre Pelto joined the SSSOMPI team for this investigation.  The paragraphs below in her own words what she experienced at the Historic Howell Theater:

​

Sometimes (not too often) I just get feelings.

​

We walked into theater 1. I randomly picked a row to sit in.  A few minutes later, I felt drawn to go and lay on the stage. I did that. After a few moments, I began to feel lonely. Then overwhelmingly so. I felt pressure in my chest. I felt really lonely. I wasn’t actually crying, but as I lay there, tears were running down my face. I couldn’t get any clearer than the loneliness feeling. As soon as we left the room, I felt lighter, physically & mentally. (Prior to going in, I was in a real good mood, excited to be there and feeling open to anything.)

​

I got a lighter vibe from theater 2, but nothing much more than it seemed a happier place.

Back stage didn’t make me feel too much of anything.

​

The bathroom was intriguing. I totally felt like this is where a lot of prankster type fun had been had. The room just made me want to keep smiling. It felt young at heart. The projection room 2(?) with the giant teddy bear seemed mellow. I didn’t get too much of anything until Laura asked if we should leave.  I immediately got a head to toe chill that ended up at the base of my neck! It was a “good” chill. I felt relieved(ish)? I just felt happy for some reason.

Thank you Tre for your insight.
