Private Business #1

The site of this location is also within the Cleveland area. In
acceptance of allowing our team to carry out investigation of this
building, we have agreed to keep exact location and name of this
business strictly private from the general public.

We can tell you that this building was constructed in 1874 as a
Victorian-Italianate mansion. As mentioned above, the mansion
is now used as a business rather then actual living quarters.

OCTOBER 23, 2006
While speaking with a few of the current day employees,
encounters were shared with us regarding the unexplained
movement/swinging of a particular chandelier, faint sounds of
children laughing or giggling, the sound of a ball bouncing down
the staircase, footsteps heard from the floor above and sightings
of someone looking out of an upstairs window while no-one was
to still be inside, etc.

We were allowed to carry an investigation for two hours and
chose to only do half of this building, as we were there during
regular business hours. On this investigation three members
were present; Debbie, Lori & Patti.  Equipment used on this
investigation included: 2 digital voice recorders, 1 micro-cassette
recorder, 1 video camera, 3 digital cameras, 1 disposable camera,
1 EMF detector and 1 thermometer.

We initially began with a general walk-through of the portion of
the area in which we were granted access to. This included
basement area, first floor, second floor and the attic.  During this
walk-through, shadows were seen at the top of a staircase which
went to the second floor.  A photo was quickly taken and showed
nothing.  About an hour later, the shadow was noted once again
from two members, with definitely no-one on the second floor to
be the cause of the shadow, that we know of.. Again, photo's did
not show the shadow.  While on the second floor, two members
felt as though someone was standing on the staircase
watching/following us and photo's this time did show a bright,
solid orb.
Footsteps were heard from the attic floor above during one point
of our investigation, and once again, all three members were
accounted for and not one was in the attic.
While investigating the basement area, batteries in one of the
voice recorders suddenly went dead upon entering.  All three
members reported a "heaviness" in the basement.  In one room
of the basement, both Patti and Lori reported seeing what looked
to be a layer of fog, from wall to wall, hanging in this room only.  
Just before this, Patti had stated she possibly had seen a slight
apparition from the corner of her eye moving into that same room.
Patti had opted to spend some time in the basement alone while
Lori and Debbie continued with the other floors.  Patti felt a very
strong presence of a male by the name of "John"?  Any further
information was a bit jumbled and hard to interpret.

Two EVPs were captured while on this investigation, which can
be heard on the right -->.
The first was captured while the recorder was left alone in what
looked as though it was a library room.  Again no-one was in this
area at time of recording.
The second was captured just as we were leaving the house. It
sounds like a male who is screaming at us about something, this
is not one of our members, as we did not yell for any reason!

Members would love to follow-up with this site, but only if we are
granted this opportunity for revisit.

We thank the current employees for their kindness and
hospitality during our visit with them.  Blessings

****  of note ... Within further review  of our recordings, we have
found ,and are reviewing another EVP.  If agreed upon, this will
be posted to the public soon after review on November 20th.

*****************************
We were invited back to carry out follow-up of this amazing site
before some restoration is to be done.  We were granted 6 hours
to debunk, further investigate,etc, on this fairly warm and partly
sunny November afternoon in Ohio. Only Patti & Lori were able
to attend this follow up.
Equipment used between members consisted of: 2 Digital
cameras, 3 digital voice recorders, 2 digital video cameras, 1 pair
of dowsing rods, 1 EMF detector & 1 thermometer.

Lori did debunk a questionable photo she had captured on her
last visit. Lori arrived a short time after Patti. Upon Lori's arrival:
Patti stated she had been in, what LT has come to call the
"radiator room", and sensed a very strong feel of a man standing
"real close" to her side. As she exited the room, she felt the same
presence walking along, closely with her to the doorway and she
stated it became "uncomfortable" to her.  Soon after she (Patti)
experienced all of her hand-held/battery operated equipment had
encountered battery death, ALL.  This occurred as she had
entered the back staircase area. Lori, later in the afternoon-while
in the same area had felt a very strong, semi-angry presence in
the area and choose not to get close to the first step.  Patti, within
the last hour of investigation, was standing at the top of this
same staircase, with her hand on the banister-- felt someone
touch the top of her resting hand and then suddenly felt as
though someone tried to push her in the direction of the stairs.
She also decided to leave the precise area. Just before this
experience, Lori had reported seeing "an African-American male,
about 35, standing on the third step down from the top".
Presence (John), which was felt on last visit within the basement,
was not as strong this time. Once again footsteps were heard, by
both members, while on the second floor -as if someone was
walking on the floor above.  Shadows were again seen along the
wall of the main stairway. Video of this area was taken and still
under review.

++++Video footage is still under review, as well as EVP
Some very strange things were captured on recordings and
further review between members needs to be carried out before
posting.   
++Photos are fairly negative other than a few strong orbs, these
may be posted in days to come.

ONCE again, LT would like to send Holiday Greetings to the
employees of this site. Thanks and blessings to you all!  Cya next
season.
