History:
    The residence is a single story wood-framed structure which is gray in color with white colored trim. The structure is situated near the NW corner of the approximately two-acre property. According the National Directory of Haunted Places (Hauck, D.W., 1996 Penguin Books) the residence was the site of “remarkable poltergeist activity” which occurred in the summer of 1990. Such phenomena such as rock throwing, kinetic energy such as moving sheets of beds, and strange “mewling” noises were heard. The apparent activity had been reportedly witnessed by law enforcement personnel, reporters, neighbors, and psychic investigators. According to the owner of the home, Maxine, the activity has begun to pick up again and seems to be gaining intensity.
 

Psychic Investigator's Comments:  By Christy Selfridge

I got a lot of confusion from this investigation coming so many angles, even from a young male.  I picked up on some intelligent & residual energy in the home & on the property.  While we were outside, I saw a young boy on the tire swing by the tree.  The word "Poltergeist" is German for "Noisy Ghost" and is usually associated with telekinetic energy produced by adolescents between the ages of 9-17.  The original "poltergeist" activity first started with the homeowner's daughter back in 1990 & may be continuing now due to  the homeowner's granddaughter being in the home.  This home is unusual because I believe it has all 3 types of hauntings:  intelligent, residual & poltergeist.   With all the confusion, it was hard to pin point the exact cause for activity.
