Private Home

We investigated this home on April 11, 2009. The couple had only been in this house for about a week. They claimed that from the first night they stayed there some things had been happening. Claims of activity are: Scribble marks appearing on the wall in one bedroom, that was not there before. Also an apparent "H" written on the wall as well as one carved into the window sill in the kitchen. They have been hearing footsteps, knocking, and scratching. There was a strong smell of death in the kitchen around the door to the basement. They also had feelings of nausea. Cold spots all over the house and jewelry had been moved. The previous family had moved out of the house in the middle of the night with no explanation, according to a neighbor. Despite all of the pictures, video, digital recordings, and EMF readings we took, we found no evidence of paranormal activity.

While doing EMF readings we did come across some high EMF readings near the bedroom where the couple sleeps. We also had some at the top of the stairs and in the first bedroom. Which brings me to the conclusion of a possible Fear Cage. Fear Cage is a term used to describe a confined area such as a walk in closet, hallway or basement with very high EMF readings. The combination of being close and confined with in an area of strong EMF often brings out extreme feelings of uneasiness, anxiety, paranoia and/or uncontrollable fear. When this occurs the best thing is to quickly and calmly leave the area and go to a more open area with lower EMF.

Our night began about 9pm and we left around 4:30am. We took plenty of pictures, several videos, and numerous digital recordings. We felt cold spots in different areas of the house which we attributed to the drafts coming from the windows. A couple of us had some headaches and felt a little sick, but there were high EMF readings in those areas. This house was built in 1910, hardwood floors throughout. The furnace kicking on made some loud noises and with the wind blowing outside the house creaked a little. This will be an on going investigation.
