The Sisters of Salem Society of Paranormal Research, better known as the Sisters, or S.O.S., is an all-female team that knows when to have a good time and when to get serious on an investigation. Their infectious good humor and zeal for the paranormal field is well known in, what is a very small community of preternatural investigators. The Sisters have visited St. Albans on a number of occasions.
In addition to private and public investigations, members of the team have volunteered for the Sanatorium’s fund raising attractions.

“The audio clip sounded like ‘run for it’ or ‘run Forest.’ The movie Forrest Gump was released in 1994 when St. Albans was still used to warehouse the addicted and mentally ill,” Misty said.
The Sisters of Salem have discussed a possible experiment, playing the movie in one of the active rooms in St. Albans to try to trigger a response from the wraith. Investigators such as famed Electronic Voice Phenomena expert Michael Esposito have pioneered similar experiments with varying degrees of success.
Another connection to the movie is that Ashley had been quoting Forrest Gump all evening. “I had actually asked her to stop quoting it,” said Misty. Another theory could be that the Spirit heard the sisters discussing the movie and in an attempt to communicate, used the phrase, “Forrest Grump.” Auditory “catches” are common at the old sanatorium. On another night, S.O.S was investigating with the seasoned team, East Tennessee Paranormal Research Society (ETPRS). ETPRS used an Ovilous while on the joint investigation. An Ovilus is an instrument created by former electronics engineer Bill Chappell. The device in essence, measures changes in environmental energy fields and modulates those changes into audible speech using a synthesizer chip, an English word vocabulary, and a technical function that sounds out
