Investigator Feelings / Personal Experiences:
Mark:  Nothing to report

Nicole: Nothing to report

Virginia:  Refer to Psychic Impressions

Psychic Impressions:
During the initial walk-through, Virginia picked up on three spirits that she felt were trapped at this property.   The first was a female spirit named “Theresa” who Virginia felt was the client’s landlord’s wife. Virginia felt Theresa was a little confused and her spirit was just wondering around the home.  Virginia also felt that Theresa was very protective of the new family that lived there.  The family was able to confirm that Theresa was the property owner’s wife.

The second spirit Virginia picked up on was a male energy named “John”.  Virginia felt that John had a coalminer connection or was connected to coal mining in some respect.    PPA Historical Research Director, Kelly Kalb was able to confirm that John Holmes, an Irishman who came from Dublin to St. Clair in 1841, bought a prime commercial property on the corner of 2nd street and Franklin Street, including the client’s property.  He also played a huge role in the development of the coal industry in this area.

The third spirit that Virginia picked up on was a little boy named “Mathew”.  Virginia felt this boy was between 6 and 8 years of age and drowned in the stream next to the home in the very early 1900’s. Virginia picked up that this spirit liked to mess with the owner’s belongings and physically move things around. Virginia felt that Matthew was attached to the owner’s son. Virginia felt that the client’s son was extremely open to spirit.

Conclusion:
During the investigation on this particular date, investigators were not able to document any physical evidence to validate that a haunting was taking place, nor to dismiss a haunting at this location. Additional time would need to be spent monitoring the home to come to a more definitive conclusion.  No personal experiences were encountered by investigators during the investigation. 

From a metaphysical perspective, Psychic Medium Virginia Centrillo was able to confirm for the clients that what they were experiencing was being caused by what she felt were three spirits that remained in the home after passing.  With help of other PPA members, Virginia was able to help cross over the three trapped souls. During the releasing process, Virginia picked up on another spirit of a boy named “Thomas” who Virginia felt was about 4 or 5 years old and who also drowned in the 1950’s. According to Virginia, this spirit came to help Mathew crossover

Virginia gave information to the clients to help their son with his gift. Virginia feels that their son is very sensitive and will always pick up on spirit. This must be address with love and patience because of his age.
