I received a call from this person because unexplainable things have been happening in the house.  Family members have heard loud thumps upstairs while in the family room and no one is upstairs.  They've heard names called out, the feeling of being watched, and the feeling of breath on their necks.  The tv has turned off and they've heard growling.  They had a close friend die in an automobile accident and since then the Xbox has done some weird things.  They had burned a cd of favorite songs.  There were several songs on the cd that the dead friend liked.  It's happened twice...the cd turns on and plays only the favorite songs of the dead friends.  The final straw was when the 15 month old grandchild was scared as he walked around the corner of the living room from the family room.  He seems to see something and apparently doesn't like what he sees.

We started our investigation at 9:00pm.  I set my video recorder up in the kitchen facing the stairs going to the second floor.  I walked around taking pictures all over the house.  I set my KII meter on the coffee table in the family room while we talked with the family.  The KII responded several times to something in the room unseen.  EMF and temperature readings stayed steady.

Investigation was over around 11:30pm.

Evidence found:

Picture of something on the stairs caught with the IR game cam

Another follow-up visit will be planned.  We will setup our equipment and leave for a couple of hours.  This way we can assure no one is in the house making any kind of noise.

Third visit on 3-27-2010
We returned for a third follow up visit.  For this investigation the owner of the home was gone.  That left Steve,
Dana, Lisa and I in the house by ourselves.  We arrived around 8:30pm and by 9:30pm we had all our equipment
in place and our plans made.  To start with we all sat in the family room being quiet to see if we could audibly hear
any noises.  We did hear pops and thumps but we weren't sure of the area they came from.  Steve was hearing what
sounded like a woman moaning.  Three times he asked the rest of us if we could hear it.  We could not.  He was sitting closest to
the living room and the moans were coming from that area.  After a while of quietness Steve started asking questions.
First yes and no questions asking them to knock once for no and twice for yes.  Then he asked general
questions.  With our video cameras and audio recorders placed in every room of the house, we had hopes of picking up
some evps.  The rest of us also asked questions.

Our curiosity was peeked about an occurrence that happened several times throughout the evening.  This home has a sump pump located under the family room floor.  The stairway to the second floor is a good two rooms away and that's where we placed our emf meters.  I placed my K-II on the first landing and Steve placed his cell sensor at the top of the stairs.  At first we thought it was consistent of the sump pump running and our meters spiking, but it wasn't.  Different scenario's would play out all evening.  Sometimes when the pump ran and our meters didn't go off.  Other times one or the other meter would go off.  Sometimes our meters would go off and the pump was not running or just one would sound off.  The cell sensor also would beep at different speeds.  We could tell when the pump was running because it had a consistent slow pace of beep-beep-beep.  We are still trying to figure this out.  We have asked about the wiring for the pump and it sounds like it is not close the the stairs.  We will continue to work on this.  We ended our investigation and left the house around 12:30am.

After going over our data we all found we had picked up evidence of activity both normal and paranormal.  Our findings follow.  You may need to turn the volume up because some of these are very soft.

Dana and Lisa's Findings:

Dana and Lisa's Report
Caught on digital audio recorder in upstairs bathroom:
All of these are sounds of some kind that shouldn't be happening.  Some are knocks to questions.  Remember all of us are downstairs in the family room during these captures.
Knocking answer
This is a voice saying what sounds like "help me"

Caught in Dillion's room:
Steve is leaving Dillion's room.  You can hear him walking down the stairs when a sinister sounding chuckle is caught on audio.
A voice saying "I'm back"

A very breathy sounding "Nooooooo"
Steve was on the first landing lighting my candle when this was caught on the audio recorder in Dillion's room.  Steve burned his finger and you can hear him yelp a little.  Right after that you can hear a female voice say "Help Me".
Again we were all downstairs when these evps were caught in Dillion's room.  This last one happened after Steve asked to show us they were there by a bang.  There is a very long delay and then "BANG"

Caught in the living room:
These are the emf meters reacting for various reasons.
You are dead
 

These are evps or sounds picked up on the audio recorder in the living room:
Female crying (caught the same time Steve heard the moaning)
Female whimper
Once for yes twice for no (knocking reaction)

This has an evp in it and it sounds like it says "ok" or "help me".  It's drawn out.
This has an evp in it and it sounds like it say's "no".
 

EVPS
This was caught after the cell sensor sounded off on the stairs and Steve asked them if they were coming downstairs. "We have come to you"
We aren't sure why this was said.  Not sure if he's referring to "Jen" or "Gin".  "I love sweet Jen".
This was picked up when Steve said he was going outside.  It sounds like "call my mom" at the end but something else is said before it.

We have another investigation setup.  Hopefully using the information we have received we'll be able to get a little more details on what is happening on the paranormal side of this home. Watch for reports from the upcoming investigation.
