Arrival
The group arrived at 7:40 pm while Aaron from FCPS arrived at the location just a few minutes prior to get some film footage for a documentary he and PIM have been working on since November 2010. Once the group arrived, they unloaded their equipment and started to get ready for the night’s investigation.
Karen went around and did environmental and sensitive readings while Tony took EMF and temperature readings inside. Meanwhile Noah and Chris set up equipment. Aaron followed Karen around as she did her readings to document what she felt for the documentary. Wyatt from PRI arrived at 8 pm and would be a special guest investigator for the evening.
After Karen completed her walk through, she helped Aaron set up in the Old Basement for interviews he wanted to do for the documentary with all PIM members. After she did her interview, she asked Chris to head to the basement where he did his interview. Al, the owner, would leave around 9 pm to head into town to get something to eat.
Noah and Tony set up all of the equipment on the first floor, and then Karen helped with set up on the second floor – Tony would be sent down to the Old Basement to do his interview during this time.
Once all of the equipment was set, Noah went downstairs for his interview, and the group would then break up into two smaller groups to begin the night’s investigation.
Investigation
Machine Shed and Barn
The group began their investigation in the haymow of the barn where Noah, Tony and Wyatt spread out and began an EVP session. During the session it was noted there was some sort of animal that was in the rafters of the barn that was making a lot of strange scratching noises. At one point Tony thought he heard something moving on the floor in one corner of the barn but nothing was observed. No activities occurred during this time, however, upon reviewing the evidence two EVPs were captured during this EVP session (see attached Audio files).
The group then moved to the Machine Shed where Noah, Tony, and Wyatt would spread out in and began another EVP session. No activities occurred during this session. Time was up for this leg of the investigation and Noah radioed Karen to meet on the first floor of the house.
Second floor
To begin the group’s investigation inside the house on the 2nd floor, Karen had everyone spread out with Aaron in the Master Bedroom, Karen in the Nursery and Chris near the Hallway by the Northeast (NE) Bedroom. The group sat in silence for about five minutes to hear the normal sounds of the house. Al returned shortly after they started an electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) session and went to bed in the Family Room.
While asking questions, the group heard what sounded like a weird voice around 11:32 pm, but it ended up just being the sound of the wind coming through the air conditioner in the Master Bedroom. Chris then moved more toward the Master Bedroom doorway and the group continued asking questions. No activities occurred at this time.
They then decided to move to different spots, so Karen went to the Northwest (NW) Bedroom, while Aaron was in the NE Bedroom and Chris was in the temporary Southwest (SW) Bathroom. The group continued their EVP sessions and would occasionally hear weird knocks and noises, but couldn’t attribute it to anything paranormal.
Once Noah radioed the group, they concluded their session and met with Group 1 back on the first floor.
END TIME: 11:54 pm
After taking a mini break, the groups then decided to switch locations.
Second Floor – 12:15 am
The group began by checking all the equipment on the second floor to ensure that it was still running. Noah discovered one of his recorders had dead batteries and went to retrieve replacements on the first floor. After he had restarted the recorder it was decided that himself, Tony and Wyatt would all be in the Master Bedroom.
An EVP session was started. No event occurred during the EVP session but between sessions Noah and Wyatt were chatting when Tony heard a female laugh. Upon review of the evidence this laugh was captured and is included in the evidence. A new EVP session was started in an attempt to communicate with whoever made the laugh but no activities occurred. The other group radioed that they were headed back in so everyone headed downstairs to meet with the other group shortly thereafter.
Group 2 – outside including Machine Shed and Barn:
The group started their outdoor investigation in the Machine Shed. While there, the group spread out with Karen standing near the tractors and Chris sitting on a tractor that was near the bathtub in the building – Aaron walked around videotaping the session. While there, the group tried asking questions that could possibly stir up some type of reaction. Nothing occurred.
Karen then mentioned she was getting upset with the spirits for not interacting, and shortly after a loud bang was heard within the building around 12:34 am. It appeared to have a rippling effect, and they thought they heard footsteps near the main open door to the building. It is not known if this was paranormal in nature, or just a weird coincidence since it was windy that night as well.
The group then headed to the barn around 12:45 am to see if they could contact with the male Karen noticed there during previous investigations. The group started near the animal stall area, but she kept feeling pulled to the other side of the building. While in the other half that had the set of stairs the group normally uses to go to the haymow, she got a very strong feeling they should go up to the Loft area. Reluctant at first to go up because of the set of stairs, and knowing the floor boards could be rickety in some spots, she led Chris and Aaron to the Loft.
The group conducted an EVP session, but once up there, she didn’t feel anyone was up there at that time. The group radioed Group 1 and headed back in at 1:03 am.
END TIME: 1:24 am when Group 1 came back to the first floor
Both groups then headed to the Old Basement to finish up on some video footage Aaron wanted for the documentary. They would conclude that at 1:50 am, and Wyatt decided to head home at 2 am as he had to wake up early for work.
The group as a whole then headed back upstairs at 2:07 am to conduct another EVP session. All group members spread out throughout the entire floor: Noah – Nursery, Karen – Master bedroom, Tony – NE Bedroom and Chris – NW Bedroom; Aaron went from room-to-room to record the session on camera.
After sitting in silence for a short while, the group conducted an EVP session trying to contact the “regulars” of the house. Around 2:22 am, Noah and Tony both thought they heard a voice, but wasn’t sure where it came from – see Evidence. Tony then commented on the lack of activity that was going on and was getting frustrated with the spirits. At that time, Karen thought she saw the K2 meter that was leaning against the mirror in the Master Bedroom go off, but upon watching her video evidence, it did not.
About five minutes after she thought she saw the K2 go off, Noah asked Karen if she sensed anyone in the Nursery as he thought he saw a child-sized shadow with a hat standing near the Master Bedroom doorway. She stated she didn’t feel anything, and no evidence was captured on video.
The group then concluded the EVP session at 3:01 am, and concluded the night’s investigation.
All group members, and Aaron, slept in the Living Room. No activities occurred during the evening hours.
This investigation occurred over the course of two days, to see the rest of our investigation, evidence, and conclusion click here
