| Claims: |
| The
homeowner has claimed to have experienced shadows
walking through the home at all hours of the day.
Lights and other appliances would mysteriously
turn on and off for no apparent reason. Pots and
pans in the kitchen would be clanking. The smell
of a brand of cologne that was known to be worn by
a deceased member of the family had been detected
many times. The pets would seemingly stare at
something that was undetectable by any person in
the house. Extended family had witnessed these
occurrences, as well as the father, who is
skeptical of hauntings and other paranormal
activities. |
| Background
history: |
| Historical
research revealed that an elderly lady had passed
away in the home a few short years before the
current family moved in. The homeowner’s mother
was quoted as saying that "she will see their
new home before she died," only to pass away
a few days before being able to share the
family’s biggest accomplishment of moving into
their dream home. The homeowner’s brother-in-law
had passed away. When he was still alive, he would
jokingly tell them he would come back and haunt
them in the event he would pass away (this is
where the scent of a man’s cologne comes in). |

| Investigation: |
| We
arrived at the residence at 10:15 p.m. and met
with the homeowner. We did lights out at 11:00
p.m. and started the investigation. We broke off
into three groups and exhausted the home using all
of the equipment we had available. After
conducting EVP sessions, ball experiments, taking
numerous photos, and running a large amount of
video, we captured absolutely nothing. The home
felt very good and we had no indication of a
haunting whatsoever. We were able to debunk a few
of the claims of activity while we were there. |
| Conclusion: |
| We
have yet to decide whether or not to continue
investigations at this particular location. Case
status remains unknown. We are still in contact
with the homeowner and are keeping up to date on
any recent incidents. Fortunately, we feel that we
have helped settle the suspicion of paranormal
activity in the home. |
