History:
This location was
built in 1943 and has been a home to many people.
The residents have
reported seeing shadows move across the windows both day and night.
In the first bedroom (youngest boys) the child has reported to the
client that he often sees a man with a white shirt on and a bloody face.
He says that the man is nice but looks scary.
The daughter’s room (second bedroom in the front) was originally the
master bedroom and one night while walking out of the room the client
bumped into what appeared to be a short black male. He stated that it
was solid and even said sorry after but realized no one was there.
In the bathroom they always have the feeling of being watched. They have
just finished the bathroom remodel and spots continue to appear on the
ceiling no matter how many times they scrub, sand, and repaint.
In the kitchen a female friend was at the table writing on a piece of
paper and looked up to see a female in a white dress moving towards her.
She vacated the property.
In the Family room (back of the house) they report seeing the shadows
across the windows.
In the master bedroom they also see the shadow figure, but also report
seeing a shadow that appears to be a cat or small dog. They also report
knocking in the walls much like someone really trying hard to get there
attention.
The attic quite frequently has the sound of foot steps.
Through out the house both the home owner and the friend stated that
they had heard a sound similar to someone whispering but could not make
anything out.
The Investigation:
We
arrived at the location and an in-home interview was
conducted with the homeowners. They also had a friend over
who had been a witness to a lot of the activity that had
previously taken place in the home while he was there and
our group interviewed him as well. After the interviews,
Christy did a walk-through of the home and then the group
split up into teams and prepared for their sweeps. During
both team’s sweeps, audible popping sounds were heard and a
couple of shadows were seen darting across the room. Other
than the popping noises and the shadows seen, the sweeps
were quite and no major activity was witnessed. Both teams
however did report feeling watched and a bit uncomfortable
in the home. One of the teams stated that they felt like
there was something following them around the home during
their sweep.
One really
weird incident though happened when Team 2 did their sweep.
Christy was talking to a female spirit she called Mattie and
she asked Mattie to “come over and talk to her.” It was
during this time that our audio recorders picked up a
female’s voice that said, “I don’t want to come any closer
than I already am.”
One of the odd things that our group noticed whenever we
reviewed over the recorded audio was that all throughout the
time that we were there, we kept getting Class “C” evps of
this woman. Many of the times she would jump in on our
conversations trying to get her word in to let us know what
it was she had to say. We didn’t turn up anything in the
photographs which didn’t surprise us since she had stated to
Christy that she hated her own appearance. The times that
our group would see a shadow would be the time she would
step out of the view of the camera.
After the
evidence review of our first investigation, we noticed that
most of the evp's were that of a woman. On our 2nd
investigation, we seemed to get more male recorded voices
rather than the female. The female voice was present
but more evp's were recorded of the male. This raised
questions with our group and we were unsure of what to make
of it. Our thought at first was that it was one of the
other personalities that were possibly coming forward but
then the team seemed to stumble onto a heavier "male"
presence on our 2nd visit.
One thing
that our group did notice was that the home seemed to have a
"draining" affect on all members present and it also had a
depressing feel to it that was noted by the investigator's
present. These same type of emotions had also been
reported by the homeowners.

Comments:
- Christy Selfridge -
When I first
entered this home I didn’t really feel a whole lot at first until I got back
into the back bedroom. When I entered the room I felt like I was being watched
and when I happened to glance up I saw this dark
headed woman floating up on the ceiling looking downward at us. She didn’t say
anything and her face didn’t seem to hold any emotion. She was more so just
watching us to see what we were doing. This woman looked like she had black
shoulder length hair and blue eyes and her skin was very pale. She was wearing a
white gown, almost like a night gown.
As I entered into the back area of the house I felt like this woman was right
behind me. While I was standing in the kitchen, I saw her come up to a person
sitting at the kitchen table and whisper in their ear. I felt like this had been
something that had happened previous to our arrival and later after speaking
with the homeowners, they confirmed that one of their guests had
reported
hearing a woman whisper in their ear while they were sitting at the kitchen
table.
One of the stranger things too was that this home had a lot of mirrors hanging
on the walls throughout the home and while we were conducting our sweeps, I kept
catching glimpses of a dark shadow that would pass in front of the mirrors. When
I got to the very back living room area, I had to stop for a moment and just
focus on her because I really felt like there was information she had that she
wanted to share. She began telling me about what had happened to her. She was in
her late twenties or early thirties and was once married with a young son who
was taken away from her by her husband when he and divorced. Her son went to go
live with her father. For years she had been struggling in her marriage because
she was what they called “sick.” Her husband had tried to get her help over the
years and she had even saw a psychiatrist quite regularly.
She told me that she suffered from depression really bad and that she hated
herself. The more I listened to her, the more I realized that she had different
moods and what appeared to be different personalities. At one point she would be
really sad and begging for someone to help her and then the next minute she
would be really mad at herself and would refuse any help because she felt like
she didn’t deserve it. I asked her why she would get so mad at herself and she
said it was because of “what she did.” When I asked her to explain that to me,
she showed me herself lying on her bed with an empty pill bottle and a glass of
water beside her which I knew meant that she had committed suicide.
On our
2nd visit to this residence I spoke with this woman again and during
this time picked up on another heavier energy of an pleasant male who
this woman appeared to be afraid of. She stated that this man was
mean and she didn't know where he had come from but she didn't want to
be around him. When I tried to speak with the man, he didn't want
to talk much and seemed more occupied with telling this woman what to
do. He felt like a very controlling spirit and did not want us to
be there. I explained to the woman that she didn't have to listen
to the man and she didn't have to be around him either.
When our
investigation concluded, we spoke to the homeowners about having their
home cleansed and blessed by a professional such as clergy, etc.
