| Private Residence II, Ashtabula, Ohio Investigation Notes December 03 , 2008 (1:30 pm - 7:30pm) |
Introduction to property: The residence is a one-story, small home with basement, which sets on less then a quarter of an acre, including an above-ground pool in the backyard. The home is said to have been built in 1940-50s. Group historians are researching the posted history regarding this residence. Present homeowner and daughters have lived there for the past four years and have encountered unexplained activity since basically day one from moving in. Their complaints include: dark shadows, loud unexplained sounds coming from the basement, strange sounds at night such as chains from basement jiggling about, lights being dimmed as well as being turned off, waking up after the feel of someone standing over top of them or sitting on the bed, uneasy feelings while in the basement, waking up with scratches and bruising, strange unexplained smells such as cigarette smoke (no one in the family smokes), etc., etc, North Coast was referred by the initial group invited to investigate, before we were contacted by NC. First group contacted, reported levitation of the couch with possible group member coming under a limited possession. They then called NC, who report on one investigation walking in the residence and EMF detectors totally spiking out throughout the home. On another investigation, reported to us that the animal soft toys were being thrown up the basement stairs at their group members. Word was also shared with us that figures have been seen, by others dancing about on the roof of the home. And thus, we were referred to this private residence by North Coast Paranormal Investigators from Ashtabula, Ohio, with concerns of demonic activity within the residence. We carried out investigation followed by a home cleansing, requested by home renter/resdient. Equipment used by LT-members: 2 Digital cameras 2 Video Cameras 4 Digital voice recorders 2 EMF detectors 2 IR thermometers 1 K-ll meter Investigation notes: LT-members who were present for this investigation included: Lori, Patty C & Rick. Members arrived and soon after carried out initial interviews with each of the family members. A quick tour was then taken of the remaining portions of the residence. Family members did agree to leave the residence for us to carry out a two-hour investigation, for sound contamination reasons. Members began investigation with setting up video and audio equipment in the said active areas of the home. Members began EVP session initially within the main bedroom of the home in which a face was possibly captured in a photograph on the TV screen. We will post this photo once we resize, enlarge and circle area for your review. Just after this, Rick was pulled out to investigate another area of the home and while in the living area, he communicated to Patty and Lori (via walkie talkie) that he was hearing footsteps coming from the main entrance of the house. We had our audio set up in several rooms in the home and many strange, unexplained taps, bangs and steps have been heard on the recordings. Members went down to the basement area and did not encounter anything out of the ordinary and thus retreated to just sit in the living room, most central room of the home, for some time and did not get any vibes or responses to our questions. Members did note that as the sun went down the house did seem to get darker, spiritually. Founder of NC contacted us just as we were finishing up our initial investigation and came to visit us to chat things over. As we were speaking with her, we did hear a few strange sounds around/ about us and did feel a heaviness coming about our realm. As time was running out, we went about the cleansing/blessing of the home. When we finished, we contacted family and they returned. We all then prayed and blessed the entire family before they re-entered the home. Summary: ** Of note; Group members carried out a late-day /early-evening investigation which may have hampered our efforts of encountering an actual demonic presence. ** Negative video footage. ** Negative photographs captured, other then possible face captured on TV screen. ** Strange and unexplained bang, jingle, etc, sounds captured on voice recordings. No actual verbal communications captured. ** We did keep contact with the family and within the first two weeks from our departure, they stated things had calmed down and they were sleeping the best that they had in a long time. Sadly, two weeks after that, we were contacted by homeowner stating that things were brewing up once again. ** Group members did share their interest of returning during the later hours to carry out more intense investigation of the residence as well as redoing the cleansing; with explanation that sometimes, and particular situations do call for a second cleaning out. ** Please remember that the more negativity you bring in or continue to carry on with, will keep a door open to the negative dark side of the unexplained. ** Group agrees follow up does need to be carried out and is more then willing to work with this family in any way, even in further referral if wished.
