History:
This home was
built around 1948 and has been owned by a few different
people. Currently it is a rent house and the current
family has occupied the home for the past three years.
As of April 2008, this family of four decided to move out of
the home, including due to the activity taking place.
We have not found any documented deaths in the home, but it
is said
that several families move in and out of the home in
a very short period of time. The current family
contacted us due to odd occurrences taking place such as
seeing shadows, feeling watched, seeing full apparitions,
hearing voices and strange sounds and even witnessing odd
behavior from their dog. The activity was first
noticed by the youngest daughter at the age of 4 when she
complained about being afraid of the master bedroom closet.
The daughter then started having horrible nightmares about
her dad being shot in the back and appearing all bloody.
Then all then started seeing shadows, including one that
they seen walking on all fours. Then dimes starting
appearing and were found around the house in various
locations. These dimes would just suddenly appear out
of no where and some even falling out of mid-air. The
adult homeowner noticed that these dimes seem to appear
during times when major decisions were being made.
Afterwards they all began hearing disembodied voices,
including voices that mimicked the mother of the home.
They then started having trouble with their smoke alarm and
thermostat as they would set it and come back later and it
would be all the way turned up. Some of the family
members have seen flashes of women and children being harmed
and they have suspected that they could have been previous
owners/renters. The family then started being touched
and/or brushed while in the home and it was after this point
that an apparition of a dark haired girl was seen.
The oldest daughter
stated that late one night she had gotten up and had gone to the kitchen
to get herself a drink. When she turned around, there was a young
dark headed girl around 5'1 in height standing there staring at her.
She said the girl didn't say anything but was there for a few seconds
before disappearing. She also told about another time when she was
in her bedroom using her cell phone to text a friend and she got up to
go into the kitchen. She sat her phone down on the piano and came
back to get it and it was gone. She looked everywhere for her
phone but could not find it. A couple of days later, she found it
under her pillow however the strangest thing of all was the picture that
was in her phone which wasn't there before. This picture looked
like a child's face with streaks going down it. This photo is what
prompted them to contact us for help as they did not understand what was
going on.
Our group arrived at this
location and an in-home interview was conducted. During this
interview, we had our audio recorders going and recorded a woman saying,
"Dimes just
appear." Also during this interview, the homeowner was
telling us about some items that had gone missing and how they had
looked for them. Strangely enough our audio recorders picked up
the voice of a man saying,
"I don't have it." After the
interview, a walk thru was conducted with each room being observed and
logged. The group met up to form separate teams before starting
the investigation.
The team split up into
different teams and began our investigation. Team one which
consisted of Christy, Sara and Matt, started the first sweep and
encountered a few interesting things in the way of audible voices and
emf spikes. The house appeared to be quiet and settled for the
most part but it would seem to have little things happen off and on.
During this team 1 sweep, the emf fields seemed to change sporadically
and in spots, they could not be reproduced. During this time our
audio recorder picked up a small spike on the gauss meter.
"Spike on Gauss Meter."
It was also during this time that one of the audible voices
was recorded on our audio recorder which was heard by Christy.
This voice says,
"Try looking." While team 1 conducted their sweeps of of the
master bedroom, they proceeded to close the window blinds in order to
keep glare out of their photographs. When the blinds were being
let down another voice of a young girl was picked up saying,
"Down." Their
audio recorders picked up the voice of a man saying,
"Let me in."
Team 2 conducted their
sweeps and also ended up getting some interesting results as well,
especially while asking questions in the kitchen. Earlier in
the investigation when Christy had done a walk-thru of the home, she had
picked up on a few different things, including the spirit of a young
Hispanic girl who met a horrific death. Team 2 consisted of Dee,
Lisa and Joe and when they asked this little girl what her mother's name
was, their audio recorders picked up a Class "C" evp which replied,
"Juanita."
They asked for any spirits present to go by the stationary arrays and
make the lights change if they could. Uniquely enough their audio
recorders picked up the voice of a man saying,
"I can't."
The sit-down proved
really interesting and the best part of the investigation. While
the group was setting up the cameras and stationary arrays, we recorded
several different evp's, some which correlated with what we were doing
and some that did not. One of the most unique ones was one of a
man saying,
"Stop going crazy." During the beginning of the sit-down when
we were just settling down, we all saw a bright flash of light that
looked like a camera flash behind Roger and in front of a guest
investigator however no one had their camera out or on just yet.
The position of the stationary camera was not on the area where the
light went off so we were unable to record this event on video.
Also during this time, several of our group members heard an audible
whistle coming
from the back bedroom area. Since the homeowner had reported
having dimes appear throughout the house, an experiment was set up with
some dimes to see if they would be moved, etc. but they remained in
position. Christy began asking questions to see if she could get a
response by getting the spirits to make an audible sound or noise, etc.
During this time our audio recorders picked up the voice of this young
girl saying,
"Someone help, come find me, come help me." When we
reached the end of our sit-down, we started packing up our gear to leave
and upon review of our audio, we found we recorded an evp of a man
saying,
"They're packing up."
This investigation for us
was an excellent one, not so much because it seemed to have activity
happening every time we turned out, but because the recorded data it
yielded which revealed the different spirit personalities. We sent
the homeowner a copy of the evidence and she was very astonished and
relieved at our findings but yet glad that we had come in and conducted
the investigation. The homeowners knew they would be moving soon
and were a bit concerned however that the spirits there at that home
would follow them to their new one. After a follow up with the
homeowner, she reported that they believe that the little girl from this
location did indeed follow them to their new home.
Psychic Investigator's
Comments:
- Christy Selfridge -
I had no idea about
the history of this home nor the residents other than the daughter had captured
a strange looking face on her cell phone which had disappeared for a couple of
days. I entered the home which appeared to be a small cozy normal home.
When I walked inside I immediately met the homeowner and sat down to help with
the in-home interview. During this interview, I saw this young girl
sticking her head out the doorway of the master bedroom and I heard her say her
name as "Alicia." I asked the homeowner if they knew of anyone
by that name and they told me no. I just put it in the back of my mind and
I figured I would make sense of it later. After the interview was
conducted, we conducted a walk-thru of the home and I saw this little girl again
and she began showing me images of what had happened to her. She told me
that her home was broken in to and her father was shot in the back. She
showed me this man taking her out of her home. The next thing she showed
me was this man locking her in this small basement type of area and she couldn't
get out as he had locked her in it. She told me that she was very cold and
scared and she didn't know why this man had taken her and that she
was also very
worried about her family, especially her father. She also told me that she
was very frightened of this man because he had beat her up and she had many
bruises on her body that he had left. She showed me a little window in the
basement that she was able to look out, but it was locked and she couldn't open
it up. It was then that I she showed me a clear plastic bag around her
face and she said that she couldn't breath. I then saw her body wrapped in
plastic, laying in a small crawl space of what looked to be under a house as I
could see wooden floors about 1 foot above her body. So intrigued by what
I she had shown me, I examined under the entire house in the crawlspace area to
see if I could see her body, but there was nothing there. I don't know if
perhaps her body was later moved or if it was still at the home where she was
first placed. I wasn't sure if she had even been murdered there at this
home, and according to research documents from this house, there was nothing
that indicated there had been a murder there or a body found. Still
though, I knew the truth that had happened to this little girl and I only wished
I were able to find the location at which this had happened to her. I
wasn't sure if she had wondered in to this home perhaps as an attachment to one
of the residents, either past or previous or by another source. I do know
however that the images that she showed me and the story she told me were very
vivid and strong.
She also
wanted us to help her by finding her which is something that we are
still in the process of trying to do. What really touched us all
was when we were doing the sit-down, we recorded her voice saying,
"Someone help, come find me, come help me." I
couldn't help but wonder if this man was also with her in death now
because there was a man's presence that I picked up on which did not
seem to want us here and he seemed to get really upset when we were
talking to Alicia and when she was telling me what had happened to her.
We also recorded a male voice during the sit-down which said,
"And of
course you want her" and this was during the time when we were
talking to this little girl. Another weird incident which leads me
to believe that this man might be with her in death is an evp that we
picked up when myself and another investigator were in the backyard
doing a walk-thru. I kept getting information from the little girl
and this connection to this man and as I was explaining what had
happened to her, my audio recorder picked up a man's voice saying,
"This isn't
right" as if to let us know that he didn't think it was fair that we
were able to find out the bad things he had done to her and that we
shouldn't be tapping in to his business.
There also
seemed to be a woman there who we suspected to be a relative of one of
the past residents that lived there. We were able to get a couple
evp's of her voice as well. She seemed to be protective of the
home and also of the events that took place there. She had
referred herself as a "grandmother" but would not give a lot of
information about herself. One thing that all spirits present
there seemed to have in common was that they all complained about it
being cold there. Our proof for this is that we have several evps
(listed below) which mention references to it being cold.
All in all I
thought this was a great investigation although my heart went out to the
young girl Alicia who seemed to be trapped there in the home. I am
hoping however that the homeowners were correct in their assumptions
that this little girl followed them to their new house. We will be
investigating there soon so we will see if this is indeed the little
girl Alicia who followed them.
