Conclusion:

During our investigation on this particular date, we looked into alternative reasons for the activity that the client was reporting. No known or alternative explanation could be found for most of the activity. Being that some of the activity was being reported at a time the client was in bed and possibly sleeping, such as waking to seeing a man standing in the room, it is a possibility to be looked at that being in a slow brain waive state/sleep state could have caused a lucid dream experience or even a waking psychic moment but insufficient evidence exists to confirm this experience in any manner it was created.

No audio or video evidence was documented on this date and no personal experiences were noted. With the lack of physical evidence and investigators not being able to rule out many experiences as being caused by normal events, the activity remains undetermined at this time. There is no evidence to support or dismiss a haunting. ThePPA recommends that a log of activity be started to try and establish a pattern for the activity and a future investigation be conducted if the activity persists.
