Investigator Feelings /
Experiences
Mark –
None Lauren – While
in the living room setting up for the investigation, Lauren heard what
sounded
like a stack of books fall over. Upon inspection of the area, nothing
was found
to be out of place. Conclusion: Although
Lauren had a personal experience of
hearing what sounded like a stack of books falling over, the source of
the
noise could not be found and a personal experience in itself can not be
considered proof of paranormal activity without being supported by
other
evidence. No paranormal cause could be
found for the
puddles of water that the clients reported finding throughout the house,
but a
cat who also resides at the residence can not be totally ruled out as a
factor,
although the family does not believe the puddles were cat urine. The
puddles
began just after the family moved into this house and have not occurred
for
some time. After checking with a veterinarian, the possibility exists
that the
cat was reacting this way from being moved to a new location and later
adjusted
to the new home. With this in mind, we must still consider the cat as a
possible cause for the puddles. The
cat also can not be totally ruled out for the cause
of the scratches to one of the men living at the house since the
scratches
occurred while he was sleeping. Due
to the lack of paranormal activity on this particular date and the
added
possibility for natural causes of some of the experiences, no
undeniable proof of
spiritual activity was discovered. It is the recommendation of The PPA
to have
the clients continue to monitor the residence and keep a log of any
unusual
activity to determine a pattern that can be looked at again at a later
date.
