History & Activity Reported:  This house was originally built in the 1950's on an old gravel quarry, and it was recently renovated.  The clients have reported seeing strange flashes of lights, hearing unexplained bangs and voices, and have been plagued by vivid dreams.

 

Investigation Summation: We did not encounter a lot of activity during this investigation, but team members did have a few personal experiences.  Two investigators hears what sounded like children's voices playing in the hallway, and we could not find a rational explanation.  The team also heard strange pops and banging sounds which could have been the house settling, but so far has been undetermined.  Several EVP's were captured in the back computer room where the clients have experienced most of the activity. We also experienced a highly unusual malfunction with our FLIR Thermal Camera that we have not been able to fully explain.


Investigation Photos

Bright orb in the living room.  It should be noted that while the house was immaculately clean, it's possible that this is just dust.

Another large bright orb in the living room.

   

Orb next to fireplace in computer room.  This room appeared to be the most active room in the house.

Another orb in the living room while Investigator Chris DeVinney meditates.

Note: Most researchers do not consider orb photos evidence of paranormal activity as airborne particles such as dust, pollen and moisture can cause "false positives".  While we agree that most "orbs" can be explained naturally, we have found in our research that a small percentage seem to correlate to paranormal activity.  Therefore, we will post orb photos that we feel may represent paranormal activity, although we can not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the case.


Audio Evidence

(Click underlined links to play audio clips)

 

Disembodied Voice Unexplained Voice

As Investigator John Keegan comments about the condition of a chair in the room, another voice can be heard talking under him.

While in the garage Investigator Chris DeVinney records an airplane flying overheard, which is then followed by an unexplained voice.

 

 

Sigh Child's Laughter

Chris asks if any spirits can come forward while sitting alone in the garage.  A sigh is captured just before he speaks.

What sounds like a child laughing is recorded in the computer room.

 

 

Child's Voice "Make them stop"

What sounds like a faint child's voice is recorded by Investigator Ed Martinez in the back computer room.

A loud, mechanical sounding voice appears to shout out "Make them stop!" while the team was discussing a piece of evidence.

 

 

"Oh yeah" Moan

A faint voice is heard saying, "Oh yeah".

Another voice appears to moan just before John comments about a noise he heard.

 

 

"Dick" "Get out!"

As Investigator Mark Johnson comments about getting a battery, a whispered voice seems to say the name "Dick".

A whispered voice appears to say "Get out!" (The voice at the end belongs to one of our Investigators.)

 

Video Evidence

An unexplained bang is heard by the clients in the kitchen.

A voice is heard by Investigators Ed Martinez and John Keegan in the back computer room.

 

 

While in the garage Ed asks, "Is anyone here with us?"  This is immediately followed by unexplained whispering.

A minute after the previous clip, Ed approaches John to review something on this recorder when what sounds like a whispered voice is heard in the background.

 

 

As Chris sits motionless in the garage an "orb" moves slowly upwards on the left.  The behavior of this orb suggests it could be a reflection.  However, Chris's movements do not match the direction and movement of the orb.  This was captured twice in a five minute span and Chris was sitting motionless the entire time.  It's possible that the reflection was caused by a vehicle's headlights outside of the house, but many vehicles drove past during the two hour investigation and this was the only time we captured this event on this camera.

While in the back computer room the FLIR Thermal Imaging Camera suddenly goes haywire and records what appears to be a spot of intense energy.  It then spikes to 312 F degrees for several seconds before dropping back to normal temperature ranges.  However, the spot remains frozen on the camera until the battery died.  During further research we found that the battery was going bad, but we were unsure if this could cause this type of a camera malfunction.  So we contacted FLIR about this issue and sent them a copy of the clip for analysis.   but their findings were inconclusive.  While FLIR agreed that a failing battery can cause camera issues, they were uncertain if it was the cause in this instance without further analysis.  While it is most likely a camera malfunction, it's interesting to note that the client has experienced several unexplained flashes of light in this very same room.  It may be a coincidence, but at this time we have no way of definitively proving or debunking this clip.  We'll leave it up to you to decide for yourselves.
