occupied by two adults, three children and one dog.
Reported
Activity:
Claims
of activity include seeing black mass like figures, apparitions of a
man, an older woman and a little girl. The family has heard voices
and has had the feeling that they were being touched. The family
reports that their dog will start sniffing around and then start
growling and barking at unseen objects. Doors have been seen opening
and closing by themselves and the sound of footsteps have been heard
with no one present to make them. It has been reported that one of
the children has the ability to sense and speak with whatever spirits
may be there and they are disturbing her in her sleep waking her up
at night. The family also reports a sense of uneasiness in the
basement. Bangs and knocks have been reported above the 2nd
floor rear bedroom and attic areas while no one is present in those
areas.

AUDIO and EVP
(Electronic Voice Phenomenon):
VR1 (Digital Voice Recorder: Stationary in attic) At
10:19PM, this
device captured the sounds of an unknown knocking All investigators
were present in the command center at this time and no one was
present on this floor. Sound tests ruled out outside contamination.
-
At 10:20PM, this device
captured three knocks and an EVP that sounds like a male voice followed
by an unknown
sound. All investigators were present in the command center at this
time and no one was present on this floor.
VR2 (Digital
Voice Recorder: Stationary in floor
living room) At 9:21PM, this device recorded one faint knock
from a series of knocks that investigators heard from the 1st
floor living room and commented on the noise thinking it was Lauren
and Bob in the attic. Lauren and Bob were observed on video at this
time sitting quietly on the attic floor and not moving. Sound tests
ruled out outside contamination. One knock out of the several that
investigators heard can be
heard at 13 seconds into this clip.
VR3 (Digital
Voice Recorder: 2nd
floor middle bedroom) At 8:55PM, this recorder captured an EVP of
what sounds like a little girls voice talking in between Paulette
speaking and trying to elicit a response from someone. Sound tests
ruled out outside contamination. The voice can be heard starting at 24
seconds.
VR4 (Digital
Voice Recorder: Stationary in 2nd floor front bedroom) At
10:20PM, this device captured an EVP that sounds like a male voice
followed by an unknown sound that was also captured by VR1. All
investigators were present in the command center at this time and no
one was present on this floor. The sound is nearly the same volume as
the sound recorded on VR1. Sound tests ruled out outside
contamination.
VR5 (Digital Voice Recorder: 2nd
floor rear bedroom) No physical evidence captured on this device at
the time of the investigation
Shadows/apparitions
have been spotted moving up and down these stairs.

EMF (Electro
Magnetic Field):
Standard
baseline readings were taken throughout the building with expected
spikes near electrical appliances. Sustained elevated levels were
measured in the basement at the bottom of the stairs from electrical
equipment and surrounding the fish tank in the living room. No
anomalous EMF’S detected.

standing in the back corner of this room.
Investigator
Feelings / Experiences:
Mark
and Lauren –
At PM. Mark and Lauren were sitting on the attic floor and felt a
hard thump on the floor. No noise knocks or bangs were heard along
with the thump. This occurred just seconds after Bob reported the
family dog started acting a little strange like he does just before
activity starts, as reported by the client, who were both watching
him on the DVR system.
Paulette
and Rob –Paulette and Rob were sitting in the middle 2nd
floor bedroom and were asked to leave that room to video the family
dog when Bob reported him acting strangely. They returned to this
room within a minute and reported a noticeably colder condition tan
when they left which returned to a normal temperature shortly
thereafter.
Bob
and Paulette –Heard
what they believed to be footsteps causing the 2nd
floor hallway to creek while they were sitting in the 2nd
floor front bedroom.
Conclusion:
During
the several hours spent at this location, investigators had a few
personal experiences with the most interesting being a series of
events that took place right around 11:05pm in which Bob had reported
from command that the client commented on how the family dog was
beginning to act strange as he does just before activity starts in
the house. Upon calling Paulette and Rob out of a second floor
bedroom to video the actions of the dog, they returned to a
noticeably colder room that warmed back up within minutes. During
this time, Mark and Lauren were sitting on the attic floor and felt a
very strong thump from the floor with no sound heard. Earlier in the
night, Paulette and Rob, who also were in the attic at that time,
heard a loud metallic sounding knock against a brick wall in the
attic. Creaking noises were also heard by investigators in the
hallway on the second floor. These events seem to validate the
family’s reports that noises are being heard in the home and the
walls feel like they heave at times. There seems to be some movement
of the home along with many noises that may be related or unrelated
to the movement. The cause can not be determined at this time.
An
EVP was recorded on the second and third floors with the same amount
of volume to both recordings. Outside voices had been faintly
observed throughout the night in these rooms but the strength and
volume were no where near the consistency of those recorded and in
all cases when the voices were heard, no distinguishable words could
be made out due to the low volume. The recorders at that time did not
even pick those voices up they were of such a low volume. The
recorded voice appears to be coming from inside the residence and at
the volume it was recorded at, investigators should have heard it
audibly but the sound was not heard at the time it was recorded. A
second EVP of an apparent young girl further validates the family’s
reports of activity.
Upon
entering the basement area, high EMF levels were present at the base
of the stairs and strong enough that someone sensitive to these
fields may get a creepy feeling when entering the basement and may
explain the feelings of being watched in that area.
The
doors that have been reported opening or closing by themselves were
found to shut secure enough that it takes some effort to open them or
push them far enough in to secure. The noted movement of the house
may be enough to unlatch a door from its shut position but it would
have to be a substantial shift and still does not explain the doors
opening or closing ll the way and the cause of the movement of the
house is still undetermined. There is enough free flowing air in the
home to prevent a vacuum effect that would cause the air to close or
open a door so the cause was not anything that could be determined as
natural at this time. Several recordings of knocks and bangs above
the normal house noise were obtained with many of the noises audibly
heard by investigators but causes remain unknown.
It
appears that there is paranormal activity occurring at this location
so at the family’s request, ThePPA consulted with psychic medium
Lauri Moore. Lauri related that she felt there were two men in the
residence and a young girl among other spirits who seem to come and
go. The family confirmed this was similar to what they were
experiencing. After the physical investigation was completed, Lauri
related that she was able to help cross most of the spirits over and
the family has reported a noticeable decrease in the activity. ThePPA
will continue to monitor the home and any further activity.
