EVPs BELOW!!

Well, hello and Happy New Year!  I feel so bad about not posting in a while, but my husband's shoulder is still broke, I was still fighting the eye infection and my daughter is still healing.  I had to take a time out from our ghost investigations and focus on our family.  We are all feeling better, though, and I think I can now safely continue our journey into paranormal investigation of our home.  I promised that I would share more family stories from the 15th on, so here are a few...
Later that night, I sat down to reflect on all of the activity and I recorded this:
           Heard voices throughout the day - a child clearly saying, "two" and male/female conversation
           Saw shadows out of the corner of my eye
           Saw a female face outside the bathroom at 6:45 pm - she was brunette, hair pulled back, in her teens in an ivory blouse

The next day was pretty uneventful, except when I got up to got the bathroom at 10:30 pm.  EVERYONE was sleeping upstairs in their beds, but when I went downstairs, ALL of the lights and TVs were on.  When I asked my family about it the next day, my husband was the last to go up and swears everything was OFF.

Saturday and Sunday of that week were quiet, but we were busy, too.  Sunday, the 18th, is when my husband broke his shoulder simply pulling out the Christmas tree lights from the outlet.  Beginning that night, he slept tin the recliner in the living room and REFUSED to be left alone downstairs, so my son and I began sleeping on the couch in the family room to be near him for care (and to protect him from ghosts).  We slept WONDERFULLY downstairs.  Of course, my husband had pain in the night, but neither of us were waking up to creepy feelings or noises.  As of today, January 7, we are still mostly sleeping down here.  I have always felt a creepy feeling upstairs and this is so much more restful, but I KNOW I need to take back our upstairs and claim it as ours again.  And I will....my daughter, though, is quite comfy up there alone.  Go figure!

On Tuesday, December 20th, my husband had a VERY VIVID dream of a fiftish aged man standing in our hallway between our kitchen and bathroom. He is CERTAIN this was Jim.  He wasn't afraid of the man, just certain.  If you haven't been following our site, you probably aren't aware that my husband has a thing with dreams.  He  occasionally wakes up to report a VIVID dream, and most of the the time they come true.  He SERIOUSLY had one of these dreams before September 11th and the most incredible prediction was of the Columbia exploding.  He doesn't claim to be be psychic - it doesn't happen often, but he knows he has a "knowing" in his dreams.  I believe him and those that know him do, too.

Thursday of that week, my alarm was set for 2:46 am and 2:50 am (yes, I set two alarms...).  I awoke to my alarm going off at 2:12 am!  I was shocked and confused.  Instead of going back to sleep, I tried to figure it out - but there was no explanation, the original alarms were still set and there was no other alarm.  I finally gave up and got up, only to find there was a roaring snow storm going on outside!  Since I was up early, I was able to get ready early and drive super slow.  That was either the Good Lord looking out for me or our friends, but somebody saved me from driving too fast and spinning out!  When I arrived home at noon I used the restroom and then had lunch.  When I walked by the bathroom later, the doors were closed and the light was on.  I REMEMBER CLEARLY turning the lights off and leaving the doors open.

On Christmas Eve morning, my husband and I were packing up for visits to family and we were talking about EVPs we have caught.  We were in the kitchen with the dog when we both heard a thud next to us and even the dog jumped and then assumed the protection stance and barked at the air.  Later that evening, we returned home and I went up and laid by my son as he fell asleep.  While I was lying there, I clearly heard a woman speaking.  I went downstairs and asked my husband where our daughter was and he said she wasn't home yet.  No other woman was in our home, nor outside.

On Christmas day, my sister came over after my daughter's accident to sit with us.  She used her new infrared temperature gauge that (ahem!) some wonderful sister got her for Christmas to verify a cold spot in front of me while we were int he family room.  She also heard someone say, "Mackenzie" while she was in the family room.  She immediately checked with everyone and no one said her name.  I heard my name spoken by one of them and my sister also heard what she thought was "kill" (not in relation to any of the names).  NOT very Christmasey!!

On the 27th, my sister and son were home alone.  They were on the same floor but in separate rooms when she clearly heard a man laughing.  She ran to check for someone in the home or on TV - no explanation.

On the 28th, my husband and I were home alone.  I was in the kitchen and he was resting in the living room. He came into the kitchen and said, "What?"  I said what back.  He said he just heard me call for him from the kitchen.  Not me...

On the 30th, my husband heard a woman talking in the afternoon - not from anyone in the house.  I heard a young child say, "Mommy" from the adjoining room when there was no one in it and all children were in the room with me - not talking.  About 11 pm, I heard my name called in the kitchen - this last one prompted my husband, sister and I to do an active EVP session.  It began in the kitchen, then moved to the family room and ended in our daughter's room on the main floor.

The first one was captured in the kitchen, when we were getting set up.  You will hear my sister speaking, someone pouring soda, then my husband exhale and finally me.  That is all of the adults in the house.  Our nine year old is upstairs, sleeping.  What you are listening for in this clip is is first oat :09, "For April."  At :15 you will hear the same unaccounted for voice say, "April, what's in it?"
For April. April, What's In It?

The last one I am going to share from the kitchen is this next one.  The recorder is still in the kitchen; although we have moved into the family room.  You can hear our quiet voices in the background.  At :03, listen for the "April" that is spoken by a voice that is NOT ours.
April

The next one is captured once we have moved the recorder in by us in the family room.  It is on the black table near the furnace grate.  Not the "greatest" spot, but we have another recorder in the prime spot by us for comparison.  My sister is still reviewing that one, but on this one she is asking the question, "Can you move something for us?" and while she is asking it a man answers her mid-question, 'Oh, yeah."
Oh, Yeah

The next one is MY favorite of the night.  At :08, you will hear a young child CLEARLY say, "Thank you."  For you super listeners, there is whispering afterward, but it is tough to hear.  The child, though, is not.
Thank You

The next one features my sister and husband discussing moving to our daughter's room.  At :07, I say, "Sure" which is immediately followed by a man whispering, "I'll move."
I'll Move

The next clip contains us not having moved yet, but still discussing a shadow we have seen.  At :02, a man whispers, "Catholic" then at :07 "Cathy."  Later in the clip is a harder to hear, "No can."
Catholic Cathy

I HATE this next one.  Ugh.  Wasn't going to post it, but I think after listening over again, I believe they are talking to each other - NOT us.  We are officially moving to the last room, henceforth the shuffling.  At :02 someone whispers, "I'm going to kill you."  At :07, the same man speaks, "I'm gonna HIT you."  At :16 a woman says, "Hear me?" and at :21, she whispers quietly, 'You scared me."
Not a Fan of this one...

I also don't really care for this next one. At :02, a soft "April" can be heard.  At :07, you will hear a CREEPY "April" with movement.  It is NOT the movement, I analyzed it with our editing program and was able to see different human speech wavelengths.  At :20 a man whispers, "Crack."  At :30, the man then whispers four distinct words, but I can't make them out - can you??
Creepy April

Thanks again for all of your patience!  I am still working on an 8-hour tape from the 26th, no tto mention even more video I need to review!  Does anyone know of any great FREE video-editing programs?  If so, let me know so we can add another dimension to our investigations!  Thanks again, and health-willing, we will be posting much more often!
