Arriving at approximately 6:30 PM, the client updated the team with the past experiences she has had in the building, and sharing some new occurrences that have been happening right outside her office doors.
Prior to equipment set up, the client was explaining the new experiences to the team while standing in the first floor room. With no one else in the building, everyone suddenly heard an unusual loud bang and rustling come from the first floor hallway. Immediately, the team went to investigate the noise. Testing several different scenarios, there was no determination as to where the noise had come from and what caused it.
After this incident, the team began setting up the video and audio equipment. The cameras were placed in the following areas:
- One night vision camera was set up in the first floor renovated room looking from the back of the room towards the front wall.
- One night vision camera was set up in the first floor renovated room overseeing the opposite direction of the first camera so all angles could be covered.
- One night vision camera was set up in the second floor master bedroom.
- One night vision camera was set up observing the third floor hallway.
During the camera set up, Investigator Bonnie was running camera wire to one of the cameras in the first floor room. As she was unwinding the wire, the light in the room turned off. Immediately after that, lead investigator Doug entered the room to check to see what could have caused the lights to come on. While checking the switch, both investigators began smelling some sort of flowery scent, just as the client stated she has experienced. With these incidents occurring, the team quickly locked down the cameras, turned on audio, and began the investigation.
Investigators Bonnie and Nicole were the first to investigate the first floor, while investigators Jennifer R and Jennifer H headed to the third floor. Doug and Eileen remained at monitors to review cameras.
Bonnie and Nicole began an EVP session, placing themselves near the back fireplace. Asking several questions and requesting the entity to give them a sign of their presence, Bonnie placed a flashlight on the floor towards the center of the room. They instructed the entity to turn the flashlight off to attempt to communicate. Suddenly, the flashlight began to roll slowly a few inches. They immediately checked to see if the floor was level to see what could have made the flashlight move. It was found that it was level and not easy to roll. Placing the flashlight back in the original position, they asked that the flashlight be moved again. After a few minutes, the flashlight began to move slightly, but not like the first occurrences. The team continued with the EVP session.
While the first floor showed some signs of potential activity, the team of Jen H and Jen R made their way to the third. They started in the old office located on the east end of the building. While there, they picked up some EMF spikes that were questionable. Therefore, they grabbed the voice recorder located next to the camera and began an EVP session. After approximately 10 minutes, the team moved to another room. In this area, investigator Jen R heard a single step, causing a floor board to creak. She attempted to recreate the noise using her own steps to see if it was caused by their movements. There were unable to make it happen again.
They, then, moved to the second floor to see if the woman who has made herself known in the past could do so again. They began speaking to her and asking for signs, however nothing occurred during their time. Both teams, then, returned to base.
After regrouping, the teams of Jen H. and Doug headed to the first floor renovated room. They began checking the EMF levels around the entire room. The digital EMF, the Mel-Meter, and the k-II both showed high readings of EMF along all the walls and floor surrounding the entire room. After gathering EMF levels, the investigators sat to attempt to get the flashlight to move, as it had for the first team. After a series of questions and no response, the team returned to base.
Eileen and Jen R investigated the second and third floor during the second sweep. Like the first floor, at this point, no activity occurred for the investigators.
For the third sweep of the mansion, the team of Doug and Nicole investigated the second and third floor. Stopping at the second floor bedroom first, they began asking a line of questions for the female who is believed to still be around. Unfortunately, she did not make any signs of her presence during the sweep. Next, they went to the third floor. Beginning on the south end of the third floor, the team, again, began asking for signs and attempted to communicate with the entity believed to still be there. The investigators did hear some unusual knocks and footsteps by request during the time spent, however unable to determine its exact origin. At one point, the team was investigating the room located on the south west side of the third floor when they heard the sound of footsteps coming up the steps. Believing it was another member of the team, they announced where they were so they could be found. After waiting a few seconds, no one appeared or answered. Therefore, Doug and Nicole went to the steps to see who it was, but found no one. They also checked every room and location on the third floor, and, again, found no one. After being sure that no other team mate was in the area, they returned to base.
While Doug and Nicole handled the third floor, Bonnie and Jen R investigated the first floor. Unlike the first sweep, nothing occurred during the time spent.
After a solid 5 and a half hour investigation, the team brought the investigation to a close and packed the equipment. Right before the packing began, the copy machine, located in the office where base was set up, turned on by itself. The client stated that the same incident has happened in the past, and it does not have a time or setting to cause it power on by itself. Continuing on, the team packed the equipment and evidence to prepare for review.
After 2 weeks of audio and video review, this is what the team found.
