Investigation
The group began its investigation upstairs before Al returned to the house. Karen was in the Master Bedroom, Michael in the Nursery and Noah in Lily’s Room. They conducted an EVP session but nothing major happened. At one point Noah thought he heard something right next to him, but no evidence was able to document it.
Several noises were heard upstairs and downstairs. Whether these were from animals or from the house settling was uncertain. It was later determined that there was not a cat on the first floor during this time. Karen also noticed at one point that the atmosphere in the Master Bedroom seemed to change.
The group then met Al downstairs after he arrived to the house around 11 p.m. While getting ready to head outside to do some outdoor investigating, Noah, Michael and Al heard a strange voice or noise. This was documented on several recordable devices. Please see evidence for this.
While venturing outside, Michael was drawn to a particular part of the field where the group conducted an EVP session. Everyone then moved to the Shed and then the Barn. No activities occurred at any of the locations.
Once back inside, everyone gathered in the Parlor to conduct the night’s first séance a little after midnight. Michael led the group in the séance asking for any spirit to come and join the table. No activities occurred as a result of the séance.
After closing the circle, Al and Michael ventured upstairs while Karen and Noah stayed in the Parlor. Michael would later mention to Noah that both Noah’s battery pack and Michael’s recorder in the Master Bedroom were both dead – both stated the batteries were fully charged prior to starting the investigation.
To continue the night’s investigation, Karen attempted to do the Apparition Room experiment in Lily’s Room – no activities occurred at this time.
The group then gathered in the Parlor to conduct the night’s second séance. Noah led it this time, but once again, no activity occurred other than a strange noise that came from the kitchen area. Noah thought it sounded like a cat taking a drink of water but Al stated that wasn’t it and Al could not place the noise either.
Everyone at this time went to bed in separate sections of the home – Michael was in the Master Bedroom, Noah in the Nursery, Karen in Lily’s Room, and Al in the Living Room.
