Tulsa Residence
Date:
March 11, 2006 History: We were contacted by the current renters who found us on the net. They believed their home was haunted because they had witnessed several strange things which include hearing footsteps coming from upstairs, hearing singing, having their doors open, close, lock and unlock, having their cabinets open on their own and then having the feeling that they were not alone. They contacted our group letting us know what they had going on and then included a photograph of their kitchen area. For some reason the photograph intrigued me as I opened up the email and looked at it. I will save the details of that for later and continue to say that I asked Kevin and Marcia if they would be interested in conducting an preliminary investigation of the residence since it was in the Tulsa area where they lived.
After Kevin and Marcia conducted the preliminary investigation, they were excited to show the group a Class "A" evp that they had recorded of a young child saying, "I have it!" This intrigued us and sparked our interest to conduct a full investigation of the home. After making arrangements, OKPRI set off to Tulsa to investigate this home. Upon arriving at the
residence, we conducted a walk through of the residence and then began setting
up equipment in
After conducting the investigation for about 45
minutes, we heard the homeowners downstairs yelling for us to come
Upon review of the evidence after the investigation, we feel that this residence has mild activity that is taking place in the home. Upon further research of this location, we were unable to find any sort of records that would indicate there were any deaths in the home, but after speaking with the homeowners, they were able to confirm that there were children who lived in the home prior to them moving in there, however, no deaths of children were reported.
When the homeowners first contacted us by e-mail
about investigating this location, they sent us a picture of their kitchen.
After just a few seconds of looking at this picture, I immediately saw a dark
haired little girl with olive complexion skin around the age of 5-7 years old.
I told the group that I felt like we definitely needed to do an investigation of
this location Upon entering the home, I did not see anyone or hear anyone at first, however I picked up on several energy pockets within the home whenever we did the initial walk-through of the home trying to get a better idea of the layout and then also when we were interviewing the homeowners finding out exactly where the had noticed the activity taking place. One of these energy pockets was in the upstairs area and consisted of 2 big bedrooms which were only separated by a wall. The upstairs portion of the house seemed to have a lot more energy than the bottom floor.

The
renters reported that the house was built in the 1970's and was previously
owned by a couple of different families, but to their knowledge, their had been
no deaths reported in the home or deaths connected to the previous tenants.
Renting this 2500 square foot home are 5 young women in their twenties, all who
were very open about sharing their experiences while living in the home for the
past 2 months. They reported that
they had found belongings to another
resident from the past there as well as items that a child would have made in
school like a paper chain and drawings. There was a diary book that had entries
about a very young child. Unfortunately, it has been discarded in the refuse.
various parts of the home before we started our sweeps. In
the beginning of our sweeps, activity in the home seemed to be minimal, however
several of our members witnessed hearing the footsteps running back and forth
upstairs whenever we were downstairs in the living room. While
conducting the sweeps upstairs, we were trying to recreate the claim that the
ground level attic door had shaken violently on its own During this time,
one of our members ( Jimmy ) stepped into the attic, closed the door behind him
to see if he could recreate the shaking door from the inside, when he felt
someone or something grab the string he had tied around his neck and lift it
approximately 3 inches upward. Jimmy immediately opened the door and told
us what happened. He seemed a little shook up about it and searched all
over to see if there was something that his string could have possibly caught
on, but there was nothing in the doorway that his string could have caught on
like that.
The
tenants also reported to us that one day they came home and one of the ladies
that had an angel
picture that her friend painted for her noticed that it was gone off of the wall
where it was hanging. She stated that she looked all over for it and could
not find it anywhere. Finally they found the picture in one of the cubby
holes in the room (which leads to a small storage part in the attic,) turned
facing the wall. All the homeowners stated that they didn't move the
picture and they didn't know how it got in the location that it ended up in.
downstairs.
We rushed downstairs not knowing what to expect whenever we were informed by
them that while sitting in the living room in the dark, they had witnessed a
series of lights which traveled across the dining room wall. They seemed
really spooked by this and claimed they had never witnessed anything like this
before. I asked them to show us the exact spot that they had witnessed
this and they did. I immediately began looking for possible causes for the
light and noticed a window that was above the kitchen sink which when in proper
alignment, shows a view of the street in front of the home. I told them
that I thought it was a possible car or truck light that had passed by which
caused the lights on the dining room wall. To test my theory, I had one of
our members (Brian) drive his car up the street and back, driving normal speed
to see if we could see the car's headlights reflecting on the wall through the
window. Sure enough, right as Brian drove by, the exact same shape and
number of lights "appeared" on the wall.
We continued our investigation upstairs and finished
up, not sure really what to think of the night's investigation. We were
all in agreement that the upstairs level attic room appeared to show the most
potential for activity. We had stationary EMF arrays placed in a few areas
of the attic room with a stationary camcorder positioned on them to monitor any
EMF changes and so we decided to do a sit-down in the upstairs area by the attic
room where we could continue to monitor the equipment. Upon review of the
video, it reveals that just as we were getting settled in for the
sit-down, there was a small whining sound that vocalized twice within a 20
second period. This was not heard or noticed by anyone present in the room
at the time. This "whining sound" was also picked up on our digital audio
recorder as well.
Psychic
Investigator's Comments:
as soon as we could. Kevin and Marcia volunteered to do a preliminary
investigation at this residence since it was also in the Tulsa area not to far
from where they lived. After I heard the evp that Kevin and Marcia
recorded, I was thrilled to be able to finally conduct this residential
investigation.
I
did however feel the energy of a young girl and a woman in her 40's. When
we were upstairs investigation the 2 big rooms, I was finally able to see this
little girl who kept peeking around the corners at us. Whenever I opened
up the main attic walk way, I immediately felt a wave of energy hit me, much
like a gush of wind, which made my head start to spin a bit. I walked into
the attic area to take some photos and as I stepped through the door way, I saw
this woman standing beside this dress that was hanging up on the rafters.
The woman was also dark haired, in her 40's and appeared very sad. I saw
her stroking the dress with her hands and I immediately felt the grief that she
was feeling. I saw her grab her stomach area like she felt sick. I
began taking pictures one right after the other. I then saw her disappear
and all the sudden felt my stomach began to have shooting pains through it and
it hurt really bad. Since I am able to pick up on the emotions of spirits,
I knew I was feeling what this woman was feeling when she grabbed her stomach.
I felt like when she
was living, she suddenly became very ill and I got the impression that something
inside her stomach area had erupted and she was poisoned (like her appendix had
ruptured.) I really felt like this woman had something that she was
preparing for, a possible marriage as I felt a romantic connection, however, she
was never able to fulfill that obligation and dream due to the illness that
suddenly took her life. She preferred to stay in a state of pity and
misery, thinking of no one but herself and the problems that surrounded her.
She did realize that she was dead, but however since she preferred to
remain in her state of misery, she refused to look beyond her current state for
any help or happiness. When I approached her to give her some helpful
advice on finding peace, she lowered her eyes, turned around and slowly walked
away back over towards the dress in the attic. It was then like she put up
a barrier around her so she could not hear anything that I was saying.
It
was during the sit-down that I learned that this woman happened to attach
herself to one of the homeowners there who happened to work in a hospital.
I felt like she had watched this homeowner for a while and then followed her
home one day. The little girl didn't reveal a whole lot about herself
other than just that was in the home and was comfortable with living there.
She found the home (especially the upstairs part) to be one of her favorite
parts of the house because it had lots of places that she could hide in.
She did show me that she was the one who was opening up the cabinet doors and it
was her that was doing the running upstairs. She told me that she found it
really funny when she made something happen which took the homeowners off guard
and scared them. She let me know that she didn't mean anything bad by it,
she just thought it was funny, especially when it happened to one of the ladies
there in particular. She also told me that she felt safe there and
pretended that all the ladies who lived there were her "big sisters." She
couldn't remember much about her parents or life other than the one "she was
living" at the moment.
