Details:

                  

WPI was called on February 15, 2010 by client who was looking for some kind of validation for the unexplained things that she and her family were experiencing at this residence. 

 

History:

 

The residence was built in 1964. There were a total of 7 owners.  Four of the different owners changed hands in 1971, 1972, 1974 & 1977. Client had moved into this residence in June 2009 and its current occupants.

 

 

Claims:

Hand drum in basement made beat sounds (with 3 to 5 second intervals)when nobody was downstairs

Very loud and sometimes very light taps throughout the house, on side of house & door(s)

The knocking sometimes happens in 3’s

Knocking seems to happen on the opposite side occupants are at that time.

Client's husband heard a sound down the hallway like a diaper bag opening up in closet.  Diapers actually did somehow fall and spread all over hallway

Client heard her own name, drawn out, while in the bathroom

Client’s mother heard a woman’s voice say, “OH NOOOOO!”

The feeling of a cat walking on Client's bed at night, however the doors are shut without a cat in the room.

TV turned on and then off by itself.

Pets: Dog & Cat nervous to go downstairs

Door handle movement

Old grandpa apparition seen near the stairs by son

2 shadows above baby’s crib chasing each other and at the same time the garage door opened with footsteps heard, yet there was no one home at the time.

Basement door opened by itself and heard the door rattle.

Heard daughter yell out, “MOM!” which sounded like her voice but when checked upon, daughter was sound asleep.

Younger daughter cried out, “Someone’s Here!” because the dog (which usually doesn’t act this way) went wild, running around barking, but nobody was at the door.

Backdoor left wide open by sunroom

Teenage daughter heard door knob turning and trying to open during her stay.

Spoon flew out of bowl of ice cream and landed in kitchen area by the sink.

 

Investigation:

 

WPI established two teams of two throughout the investigation. Teams rotated throughout the property at approximately 1 hour shifts each time for a total of 4 shifts. Equipment responsibilities and set-up were as follows:

 

  • DVR (Digital Video Recorder) was set-up and viewed from within Gordy’s bedroom.
  • One static night vision camera in Michelle’s bedroom set up in high corner for a birds eye view of the bed and adjoining bathroom door.
  • One static night vision camera facing down the hall at the hallway closet
  • One static night vision camera in Kitchen facing the backdoor hall.
  • One static night vision camera in basement viewing the hand drum area.
  • Mel-Meter was used for base line readings and throughout the investigation.
  • One motion sensor alarm placed inbetween back door and basement door.
  • Each roaming team was responsible for at least one digital voice recorder. One was placed static on computer desk.
  • One roaming night vision and full spectrum camcorder rotated between the teams to cover all aspects of the property.
  • Each team also used digital cameras for taking pictures.
  • Other items that the team used included the K-II meter, flashlights.
  •  

Paranormal Experiences:

During our initial “walk-through” Allen and Jay heard what sounded like a growl/rumble under desk.

During our initial “walk-through” Allen and Jay also felt the presence of somebody standing behind us while we were saying goodbye to Clients.

During the “investigation” while Allen and Jay where in the basement doing an EVP session, they heard a loud, stomp/walking sound while WPI command was sitting on the beds at the time.

 

Findings:

 

IR HD Camcorder (Audio Only)

 

Unexplained sound of something that stomped/walked above while Allen and Jay were in the basement doing an EVP session. 

 

Digital Audio Devices – STATIC -(Audio Only)

 

Woman’s moan while Allen & Jay were in the basement.

 

Sound of a cat while both Allen & Jay were in the living room. 

 

No paranormal photos or video footage were captured.

 

   

Conclusion:

 

WPI can say with the personal paranormal experience during our initial walk-through and the evidence gathered that there is some paranormal activity based upon the claims and not being able to find natural, reasonable explanations for these claims. However, we cannot say that this residence investigated is haunted as the evidence overall is inconclusive.
