Fun stuff for those of you that don't follow our Facebook page. We had some metal detectors out to the winery to look for items. We were shocked when they brought in the keychain below. It's the room 76 keychain from the Winner Hotel, which used to sit on the same site where the winery is currently located. The hotel burned down in 1900 and we assumed we'd never find any items from the hotel. It was in business from 1880-1895.

More items. A sink handle from the late 1800s.

Very cool. Are you collecting these items to display at the winery or considering donating them anywhere? Making me think of the Woodneath Farm collection of items they have on display at the new library. Lot of Clay County history on your property.

We've already got a room with a lot of historic items displayed. We'll just add these to the cases.

Had a great event last night. We offer the winery free of charge for use on Thursday nights for fundraisers. Last night's event is a really good example of how to run a good event. They brought in the media along with getting food donated and holding a silent auction.

Very excited. For the first time since we opened 3 1/2 years ago, we're adding new wines to our list!

Boo's is a brandy-fortified wine made with the Norton grape. Dessert drink with strong berry flavors.

Naked Pink is a semi-sweet rose wine. Great blush flavor and really nice patio wine.

Made an unlikely new friend today out at the winery. NFL Hall of Famer Neil Smith came out to the winery. He was out there cooking BBQ for an event today. Was able to chat with him for about 35-40 minutes. Really nice guy and we're going to work together on some future events at the winery. You never know who you'll meet.

Not quite yet. I'm working on a ordering portal already. Got some merchandise up there already. Working on getting the license so I can put the wine up there to order as well.

We had the Ghost Hunters crew out for our annual 2-day paranormal event. Really interesting video evidence here that even has a video gaming twist to it.

The video below was taken by a Kinect camera that has been hacked for paranormal use. They use the motion technology to detect any changes in the EMF field and map out those anomolies. In this case, the anomoly actually appears to be intelligent in nature. Note that there is no one or nothing in front of the camera when this happened other than an empty room.

Sorry. :)

In all seriousness, it's a really cool little tool. Would love to get a couple of them to use in our public investigations, but I think the price tag is pretty steep.

New phase in the winery has started. We've started construction on the second and third floor. It will triple the size of our winery. We'll be adding two new ballrooms, a bridal salon, new bar, and nine new overnight stay rooms. We'll be blogging information and photos on our company website (which just was redesigned) starting today.

Are you going to let people come to taste wine and spend the night?
Or are the rooms strictly for wedding use?

Rooms will be for overnight accommodations, though obviously the rooms will likely be booked up on wedding nights with friends/family of the bridal party. Otherwise, they'll be available to the public for overnight stays. I'm working on the online booking function for the website as I type this. Rooms on the weekends will run around $200-300/night and $100/night on Sunday-Thursday.

[digamma]

Congrats on the expansion plans.

One minor suggestion on the new site. You might consider pictures of the wines or people drinking the wines in the Wines section of the site, rather than the dudes drinking what looks to be whiskey (based solely on the glass). It's a great picture, but guessing you might want to focus on the wine or label there?

Appreciate the suggestion. The important thing is to show people having fun. I don't have a professional photo yet that meets both the wine/having fun need, but I'm going to keep looking through future wedding photos. I think we're better off showing people having fun until we can get both in the same photo.

Hard to believe, but it's been five years of business now. We're doing fantastic. Our revenue numbers are up around 25% over last year. We're renovating the upstairs and will have the new ballrooms and the inn opened up sometime in March. It's a big next step, but it's a good move that will really benefit us over the long haul.

Yes, I realized that afterwards. But always good to remind me. Thanks! :)

[Ragone]

Heard you are having some issues with trespassing..

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Heard you are having some issues with trespassing..

:)

Yeah, we're cracking down pretty heavy right now. Made nine arrests in the last two weeks. It's amazing how people seem to think it's OK to come on someone's property just because the buildings are vacant. We try to be nice about it, but there's a few that are taking the trespassing to the next level, so it's time to deal with it. I'm thankful that we'll begin renovation in the vacant buildings sometime early next year, so hopefully we won't have to deal with this much longer.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

You can't make this stuff up.

Saturday around 5:15 AM, we had a burglary at the winery. They took our cash drawer (around $600 in cash), all four of our iPad's that we use as a POS system, lots of merchandise on the racks (most of them being bags that they used to carry out stuff), and a couple thousand dollars worth of hard liquor off the bar. We knew based on the fact that they didn't touch the wine that they were younger in age. We also were able to get good footprints (they entered through the construction fire exits upstairs where there was a lot of drywall dust that easily showed the tracks). They used a crowbar to pop the door. They also hung out in the building for 40-50 minutes. We also were able to get two fingerprints.

After reviewing the video (they forgot to notice there were cameras all over our building), we saw four people on the video. We had two good looks at two different faces. In addition, we had good video of their cameras and all four of their shoes.

Amazingly, the next morning at the exact same time, they decided to break in again! This time there was six of them. We didn't get any faces, but we confirmed some of the same shoes and also got some good clothes shots. It's amazing that they came so early, as police told us that robberies at that time are extremely rare. Not only that, but they hit the same place twice. My security is usually there between 10-3 or so, though it varies depending on the day.

On Monday night, I was at a local bar and brought up my Find My iPhone app on my phone. I entered the winery information and to my amazement, one of the iPads popped up as being online and gave me a location in a residential neighborhood 10 miles away. Better yet, the description said "Taylor's iPad". I went to the police in that town and informed them of the situation. They went door to door in that area, asking if anyone had recently got an iPad in the area. They came to a door where a dad came to the door with 8 kids in the house. The father said that he didn't know of any iPad, but would let them know if he found one. 20 minutes later, the police get a call from that dad saying he and his son are on the way to the police station. One of his kids had purchased an iPad from someone for $100. When I went to check the iPad and opened the settings, it clearly still had our winery name and e-mail listed in the settings. They told me they would be interviewing the kid after school on Tuesday (today).

This morning, I got a call from one of the detectives in town. I assumed he was calling about more leads in regards to the iPad. He said that they had a new tragic lead from early this morning. Around the same time that they had robbed us previously, two of the same people were up at a house hanging out. One of the men (I don't know exact age yet) had a pistol. At some point while he was holding it, it accidentally went off, killing the other person. The police showed up at the scene and ruled it accidental. While processing the scene, they realized the gun was stolen. They began asking questions and the man admitted that they had robbed multiple places, including a couple of homes and 'a haunted place'. They checked the video I provided and were able to identify the dead man and the other man in the robbery videos.

I'm not sure you could create a crazier plot in a reality series. Been a crazy weekend for me, but it looks like they should have all the suspects rounded up (or buried six feet under) later this week.

[flere-imsaho]

I'm speechless. That's unreal. Thanks for the story, though! :D Stay safe!

Here's the article on it.

Teenager dies in accidental shooting inside Northland home | fox4kc.com (http://fox4kc.com/2016/03/15/teenager-dies-in-accidental-shooting-inside-northland-home/)

The police have now identified a third possible suspect. Found out from a local student that a student (who is 18 years old) posted a snapchat video during the crime. The video is gone (unless police get his phone through a warrant which they will likely do), but the student that reported the video gave details about the location that make it clear that they were at the winery at the time.

Had a fun Darkness Event over the weekend. From left to right: Chris Fleming (renown psychic), Dave Schrader (Host of Darkness Radio and Guest Host of Coast to Coast AM), Bill Chappell (owner of Digital Dowsing, which creates gear for the crew of 'Ghost Adventures), and an attendee of the event.

As great as his gadgets are, he's also an extremely nice guy. I'm definitely going to have him back for some future events. All the attendees absolutely loved him.

Also, he's going to give me a couple of the SLS motion cameras at a reduced rate so our investigators can use them as part of our events. Really excited about that.

Had a sad first yesterday. A groom that was to be married in November at the winery passed away yesterday of cancer. They booked knowing he had cancer.

We don't refund at all on weddings, but I gave them a full refund. Just didn't seem right to keep their deposit.

Posted this on social media today:

So I'm sitting in a haunted orphanage (i.e. the winery) by myself working on some things. Out of nowhere, the music turns on over the building speakers. No one else is here to turn it on.

The song? "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel.

I think they're trying to tell me something.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Thought I'd post some pictures. Our new event space and inn is nearing completion. For those that saw the Ghost Adventures episode, this is the same area that was vacant and dilapidated where they investigated. Quite a transformation. I'll have more pics in 3-4 weeks when we open it up.

MBBF isn't going to be back, but he posted this cool update from the winery:

Well, it's been three months since the Inn at Belvoir Winery opened! After tonight, we've now had three guests check out before midnight because they decided that they could not stay in the inn any longer. All of them thanked us for being gracious hosts before leaving and said that customer service was fantastic.


A few days ago, guests in room #9 came out to breakfast and mentioned to staff that they saw two identical girls in their room in the middle of the night. Later in the morning, the guests in Room #5 (did not know and hadn't talked to guests in room #9) came out of their room for breakfast. After insisting that they didn't believe in the paranormal, they admitted that they saw two identical girls in their room. After being informed that another group had seen something similar, the two groups got together and realized that they had seen the same apparitions.

Got another TV show from the Travel Channel that's been filming all week at the winery. This one has been really fun since they've filmed at the local county historical museum and at the county archives, so some of the community has been brought into the episode.

They did an investigation Monday night and then they brought in additional TV personalities for last night's investigation. They started filming around 9:00 PM and took a break at midnight. The producer started talking with everyone and said, "I don't know what we're going to do. We're three hours into a three day investigation and we already have enough evidence for a one hour episode."

Welcome to my world.

They'll be investigating tonight and then do the full reveal tomorrow. If you're around KC, they're doing an experiement on Thursday at 1:00 PM that the public is invited to. Details are on our FB page.

In regards to PilotMan's previous post, we've now had ten guests in inn rooms leave in the middle of the night.

[MizzouRah]

What show and when is it going to be on?


I need to book a room there. :)


Honestly, the family and I are planning to come to a PI probably 11/16, I'll shoot you a PM.

I'll be able to let out full information sometime next month. I'm currently under a non-disclosure agreement and revealing information early could result in the episode being pulled, so I'm going to wait 15-30 days until they give me the OK.

Would love to have you out in November!

[GoldenCrest Games]

We went down last weekend and had a great time!

I can't say for sure if we ran into any ghosts, but we were exploring the cemetery on the hill and ran into a strange couple drinking wine. We chatted for a while, and then left. Later, as we were looking at some of the artifacts in the hotel, they appeared again and chatted for a bit.

We chalked it up to an older couple who were just friendly, and just rolled with it. Then, Mrs GoldenCrest wanted to go into town for dinner. Ee stopped at local brewhouse in town, and weirdly we saw them over in the corner as they waved to us. We waved, but then just had our dinner.

The freaky part is that nobody else could confirm that the couple was actually at the hotel.....

just sayin.

We just got home! Really appreciate all you did for us Jesse (MBBF)!!


Very cool place, there was 9 of us and we had a blast investigating all the different locations! My daughter's friend has some video of orbs floating around and a dark figure in a corner. It was also neat talking to the spirits and seeing the various ghost hunting gadgets going off.


Everyone there was friendly, the rooms were fantastic, beds very comfortable and breakfast was a plus!


Finally got to meet MBBF face to face. We didn't get into any heated Sony vs MS discussions. :D


We will DEFINITELY be back!!!

Glad that both of you had a great time! Always fun to introduce people to our unique place!

Got a promo video of the upcoming Kindred Spirits season. There's two clips in the promo that are filmed at the winery. When Amy says, "I just saw something crawl across the ceiling" and where she says, "I think it said 'get out'", both of those clips are from the winery episode. Looks like we're going to be airing either January 24th or 31st at 10:00 PM EST.

Just got word. Our episode is the season premiere of Kindred Spirits. For those of you in the area, we'll be having a watch party at Screenland Armour. We'll have a small fee for tickets with all of the money going to a local charity of Screenland's choosing........

January 24th, 10:00 EST
Season 3, Episode 1: No Salvation

Amy Bruni and Adam Berry are called to Liberty, MO, to investigate the Odd Fellows Home, a massive compound that once cared for orphans and the elderly. More than 10,000 people died on the property. Now their pain has fostered a malevolent entity.

More shows on the way. We have a film crew from the Travel Channel coming out in July and another crew coming out in August from a show that airs on Amazon Prime. Should see lots of us on TV this fall.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

For those that are interested, we will be on 'Most Terrifying Places in America' tomorrow night (10-15-2019) at 10:00 PM EDT on the Travel Channel. Probably best to record it as we're one of a few different locations, so you can just fast forward to our segment and watch it relatively quickly.

We just filmed for a History Channel show as well. It's not paranormal related and it's one of their biggest shows. No word on when it will air.

Im interested in a weekend away with my wife. Could you PM me any details I need to stay at your place?

Do you consider your winery to be "terrifying"?

OMG, Ancient Aliens built your winery?

[Warhammer]

Wine and beer have been around since the dawn of civilization. How did man first discover how to brew these beverages? Some scholars believe it was trial and error. However, ancient astronaut theorists believe these beverages were beyond the power of mankind at the time.

"Every ancient civilization had a god of wine. Since the gods came from the stars, it makes sense that wine and beer making knowledge came from the stars as well."

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Do you consider your winery to be "terrifying"?

Mostly not, but it depends on how much you drink.

OMG, Ancient Aliens built your winery?

There's a picture posted on a FB page called Antique Archaeology that might point you in the right direction.

“There are so many, how much time do we have? I’d have to say my favorite place to investigate in the US is the Belvoir Winery and Inn, (the Odd Fellows Compound), in Liberty, Missouri. The reason being, you have a complex of very haunted rundown buildings consisting of an old hospital, a morgue, a nursing home, a cemetery, and an orphanage. BUT the Orphanage has been completely renovated and turned into an event space, winery and beautiful inn. So you can spend your night investigating in some of the most terrifying buildings imaginable, then walk on over and snuggle into your big fluffy bed with a great glass of wine. The place was basically made for me.” – Amy Bruni

Sorry, but I forgot to get out to the forum to update you guys on another TV appearance. We were just on American Pickers a couple weeks ago. The show will be reaired this Sunday at 7:00 PM EST on the History Channel. It's Season 21, Episode 14 and is titled 'Midwest Mayhem'.

It was my wife's first TV appearance and it covers her family's history at the winery property. Danielle and Robbie did our pick.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Some new show information for those that might be interested. We'll actually be on two episodes of 'Haunt ME', which streams on YouTube. First episode of ours will be released on September 22nd and October 6th.

Also, tomorrow I'm heading out to St. Louis to film interviews for a Travel Channel show. Can't tell you the show, but the host might be the guy who played Ray on Ghostbusters.

Enjoy!

Going live tonight at 8:00 PM EDT if anyone is interested. Part 1 premieres tonight with the second part premiering on October 6th at 8:00 PM EDT.

Can I just say how jealous I am of what you do. A buddy of mine and I talked about doing something sling the same lines (wedding venue type thing) years ago, and I kick myself regularly for not going through with it.

It's fun 95% of the time, but the 5% is something you never want to deal with. Dealing with an angry bride or angry parents of the bride is the worst, even when you know you've done nothing wrong. People do not mince words when your the owner of a service industry business and they're irritated because things don't go their way. You have to be like an umpire and just let it bounce off you and move on to the next one.

Good news is that we've been very fortunate during this year when so many are losing their business. Business is actually up because we are outside of the core of the city, so we don't have as many restrictions as event spaces in the more populated areas. So we've been getting extra weddings that could not be hosted in those areas. Also, we have 170 acres on site, so it allows us to have a lot of customers out on the weekends when we're busy because people feel comfortable spacing out.

We're obviously very thankful for our blessings, but it's not always peaches and cream.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

For those that watched the Haunt ME episode, here's a post-episode live stream my wife and I did with the crew. Also has a teaser trailer for the next episode in two weeks.

Sure. I work in a service industry myself, not to mention I used to perform weddings quite regularly, so I am well aware. There is nothing better, though, when you have good bride and groom and it all goes off well.

I think you're killing it. I fully expect to bring the wife out to visit sometime.

Agreed. Love the vast majority of the brides/grooms that know what's important and make it a great experience for everyone involved.

[Edward64]

Glad your business is doing well. Went to the website, your inn is bigger than I thought.

[tarcone]

Yes, post a link. Kids are gone and Im looking to do a weekend away with the wife. KC is 4 hours away and a perfect location. Just have to omit the haunted part.

Weekends might be kind of hard for awhile. Wedding season lasts through Thanksgiving and so they've eaten up the room supply on the weekends through that timeframe.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

In case you missed the second part last night, here's the link. They really caught some amazing stuff and it's a bit surprising their reaction to what happens.

They are absolutely killing it. It's been a lot of fun to see the success of the winery and all the events they are having. It's a beautiful place, and amazing what they've done with it over the years. Keep up the good work!

I also need to know the next time the Twisted Taters food truck is there and it's NOT ladies night. :D

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Just booked another show for filming in March 2021. Should come out on the Travel Channel in Fall 2021.

Also should get a release date on another show soon that's already filmed. Once that happens in a few weeks, I can talk about that one as well.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

After a rough 2020 that we survived, our business is doing well. Logged our highest monthly revenue in May 2021 in our history (10 1/2 years). A normal year of weddings is usually around 40. We're doing 53 weddings in seven months this year. A normal May event total is around 25 events. We ended up with 44 events in May this year.

Crazy busy, but it's a welcome change.

[PilotMan]

I made it! I'm gonna miss MBBF though, but I'm here!

[sterlingice]

See any ghosts?

SI

[PilotMan]

I did not, neither did the misses, but she could feel the echos there. From the people who lived there before.

[Limelicker]

So this is Mizzou B-ball Fan. My old login was on a defunct e-mail, so I can't recover the password. I'll just use this login instead!

Was fun having PilotMan at the winery, even if I did miss him. Business is good and we're still going entering our 15th year of business.

I'm actually organizing a new event in the KC area. It's going to be the biggest paranormal event held in KC. Got 20 or so personalities, around 50 vendors, and we're even doing two live concerts during the convention! Capacity is around 1200 people and we're already about 35% of the way to break even with 11 months to go until the event! Pretty excited about that.

Here's the event website if any of you in the Midwest are interested in dropping by! It's also being held only about 10 minutes from the winery.

Congrats, MBBF. Nice to see you and good luck with the event.

Cool news!

[Limelicker]

I have a couple more people to announce for the event, but it's pretty much filled. Just got a contract back from two of the Expedition: Bigfoot stars. Needed some different stuff other than just ghost investigators.
