Subject: Investigation of Paranormal Activity Secondary to Occupants Reports
of Strange Occurrences
History:
Ø The house was built in 1910 w/ addition built in 1930’s.
Ø History of the area
Very old neighborhood, located across from the original High School. The
houses on the same block are built of the same style and era. Owner does not
know of any prior deaths in the home.
Ø Psychic Phenomenon / Ghostly apparitions in the house
· First event happened in July of 2003. Both occupants were sleeping
upstairs in the master bedroom. The male, as often happens, was awake due to back pain. He had been awake for about a half an hour (important to note this, he did not just wake up when the event happened). He then noticed a misty, but still transparent, object four to five feet in height floating in front of him. The object appeared at the left side of the room, and slowly moved to the right side of the room through the wall. The entire event lasted five to ten seconds and the female was not awake during the event. This same event has happened two more times since last July. There are two more important things to note:
- He was under the covers during this event, so no drop in temperature
was noticed.
- After examination of the upstairs bedroom there are two windows, each on
an adjoining wall. Neither window is in direct line to a road that would
allow headlights to come through the room
· A short time after they moved in they got two dogs. Since the dogs have been in the house they will bark at an un-seen object. This will happen once every week to ten days. It is a very mean bark as if someone is in the house, and they are often staring at the stairs leading to the second floor. These have occurred any time of the day, with no specific pattern. Even though these events have occurred with the dogs, there are no specific rooms in the house that the dogs won’t go in.
· A number of times the occupants have left the house for a period of time, upon returning they found their dining room chairs to be pulled out and in different spots then when they left. After asking the male, he assured us these were times when they knew the chairs were pushed in to the table before they left.
· Other than the dining rooms chairs, all other occurrences seem to focus around the stairs leading to the second floor and the master bedroom located on the second floor. Since they have moved in, the male has said there are times when he is home alone that he will feel weird, like someone is watching him, or he is not alone. However, he has never felt threatened or scared to be in the house.
