Paranormal Investigation Part III

Continuing with the evening of the paranormal investigation...Here are some more EVPs captured that evening while I had set up my  own recording device while they were taping with their equipment.

This clip is still during set up.  Only one person is in the house and he walks through the living room and family room at the beginning.  After he has left the area a familiar spirit voice calls out for me at :08, "April."  There is more whispers but that is the clearest.  At the end the person comes back into the room.  I would rate this EVP a Class A-.  Yep, I get to add a minus as I am licensed teacher and am trained to evaluate with pluses and minutes.
April
This next one is when I am talking with one of the investigators about their equipment and roles.  Just Linda and I are talking, which will be EASY for you to pick out.  There is a third voice in this clip, even though there were only two of us.  Right at the end (:27) a spirit voice whispers something right after I speak, something that sounds like, "And you go me I bet."  It is not perfectly clear, so I would rate it a Class B EVP.
Third Voice
This next one again features Linda  an investigator.  She tags the time for her recorder then leaves to get everyone to come in for an active EVP session.  After she has left and the house is empty, a voice whispers, "Watch it!" at :09.  I do let the recording run longer so that you are able to hear the silence - we are NOT picking up our voices once we leave the house.  I would rate this one a Class B+ EVP.
Watch It
This next one features a young girl.  It's a quiet whisper, but is easy to understand and hear with earphones/buds.  Empty house, but at :17 a girl quietly says, "They made me watch it."  She says more later, but this is the most clear.  Although I can decipher it easily, I would rate this a Class B- EVP because of the volume.  Could this be the girl in the photo I posted a few days ago?? IT was captured right about the same time as the picture was taken.  Was the "Watch it" EVP above actually directed at her?
They Made Me Watch It
In this next clip I am giving Linda tour of the house so she knows what we refer to each of the rooms as.  When we come into the family room, she is confirming the names and a child-like voice speaks with her at :15, "April fought us."  I don't understand what that means and I can't even phathom a guess, as it may be a part of their conversation that we were not able to hear  Class B EVP.
April Fought Us
In this clip, we are all a few rooms away in the kitchen.  The paranormal investigators are preparing to record a clip about some of the events we have experienced in the various rooms.  Jim, the lead investigator and camera man is talking during this.  At :08, he says, "Audio problems..." followed immediately by a voice in THIS room saying, "IT was me..." Jim then says that he will change his battery again and this is followed by a creepy laugh at :18, "Ho-ho."  I originally thought it might have been Linda, the other investigator in the house at the time, but she actually responds quietly and seriously (Not finding humor at all), "Yes," at the same time as the laugh.
Creepy Laugh
This next clip follows the previous clip.  Jim and I go to change his battery, leaving my husband and Linda talking in the kitchen.  There are whispers here & there but there is a woman's laugh at :16, that is NOT Linda, and she is the only female in the house at this time.  There is also an odd noise at :27 that I cannot figure out.  It is not a noise I have heard over the years, any ideas?
Woman's Laugh
This next clip Jim & I have returned and we begin taping.  There are spirit whisperings throughout - things about the house and so forth, but there is a CLEAR shout out to my sister, some of our spirits preferred person, "Tigger" at :15.  She had called earlier because she was so curious about the investigation, so is this a delayed response to her call or simply a request for her?
Tigger

Well, my family has all woke up and are watching different TVs, so I guess that is my clue to post what I have and continue at a later date (as it is IMPOSSIBLE to hear anything with all that noise!).  I am only up so early on a Saturday because I heard a ball bouncing in my room.  I woke up at 5am and just listened to it bounce and bounce.  I ended up getting up and checking the entire house - everyone was sleeping and no bouncing balls.  I will post this when my blog reached November; however, if you want more updates in real time - follow us on Twitter at #DailyGhostWhisp .I try to update it as each event happens.  If you don't Twitter, no worries!  I will always post all the paranormal events we experience on this blog!  Check back often, as they have been SO active, sleep is rarely deep or long...

Paranormal Investigation AMAZING Photo!

Hello, friends & followers!  Sorry it has been sooo long since my last post, but life has taken precedent over the dead.  I want to give you something to look at while I am listening to more EVPs from the investigation.  This photo was taken by one of the investigators during the investigation.  It was just a basic photo she took of our home as she walked around the perimeter of our property.

She took a BUNCH of photos from outside and in some of those she captured the orbs & energy from the previous posting.  This "normal" picture gave her pause, however, as she noticed something on lower front right window.  All people are on the right-side porch with the light on.  No one was in the house, yet there was this odd brown spot in the window.  She zoomed and and realized it was a teddy bear.  Odd.  She sent it to me immediately and I confirmed that there are no teddy bears on the porch or in the window.  Only a small patio set is on the porch, and it barely (no pun intended) reaches the window.  I then asked her what about the child BEHIND the bear?  She has not seen it at first - focusing on the bear only, but sure enough - a clear child's face is peeking out from behind the bear!  Here is the zoomed in picture, without enhancement.
She then sent me a black and white version of the amazing photo... She can see the child more clearly in the black and white; although, I prefer the color.  See which one you prefer!

Again, no bears were near that window and we didn't have a single child on the property for the investigation...
Activity since they have investigated has been increasing in amount and strength.  Instead of 3-4 paranormal events a week, we are now experiencing 3-4 per DAY!  Check back to hear the stories and listen to more of our EVPs...

Paranormal Investigation, Part 1


Paranormal Investigation Part I

End of September went as follows...
After the last post, the next activity that I recorded was on September 20.  I was home alone all day (as usual) and ALL day, I heard someone upstairs.  I heard banging, footsteps and just MOVEMENT.  Every time I went up to investigate, there was NO explanation.  The dog wasn't even up there.  The final time I went up to investigate, I heard someone in my closet.  Of course, no one was in there.
The next day, I saw a dark shadow walk through our kitchen.  It was a tall, slender shadow that actually walked.  No one was home but me, and of course, there was no reasonable explanation.
On the 24th, I was resting on the family room couch around noon.  I heard two women having a conversation.  It grew so loud that I turned off the TV and went to the porch, expecting to see them out the window.  No one was there.  I even went outside and walked around, but could find no one.
On the 25th, I was in the bathroom and of course our Papillion came with me.  The saying is that once you own a Papillion, you will never use the bathroom alone again (and it's true!).  He was staring at me (as usual) but then he must have got bored because he stood up and faced the closed, latched door.  The moment he did, it clicked open and let him out.  No windows or doors were open (to maybe create a draft or pull).
The next few days were relatively quiet; at least until the 30th.  That evening, I was actually the last one to bed (RARELY HAPPENS).  I walked the main floor and turned all of the lights off.  When I woke up at 2:25 am for work, the OUTSIDE light was on!  I had specifically turned this one off as I don't want to give anyone light to break into our front door.  I did not leave by that door that morning...

On Monday, October 1st, I was in the family room when I clearly heard a man say, "Help!"  I told him that I was sorry but I couldn't do a recording for a few more weeks, as the paranormal group asked us to refrain from recordings to help them conserve their energy.  Yes, I actually speak out loud to them.  Quite often, in fact.
It seemed to help the activity level as we didn't have anything paranormal happen again until Friday the 5th.  My son stayed home from school, sick.  While he was resting on the couch, I rubbed his hair next to him.  We both then heard someone walking around upstairs.  The dog was at his feet, so I knew there was no reason for it but I told him not to worry and that I would go check it out.  I went upstairs (to the EMPTY upstairs) and shut all the doors.  I made up an excuse for my son and he fell asleep.  The next time I went up there, his bedroom door was open - the same door I had closed but an hour before!  I also saw shadows high on the family room wall, as well as in the kitchen.
On the 9th, my dog refused to come into the kitchen.  He sat, shaking at the threshold, unable to eat, drink or go outside...
Early on the 10th, I got up for work and heard my husband's phone beeping that it was dead.  I went and set up the charger for him.  When I told him about this that afternoon, he said that was impossible as he had charged it FULLY before he went to bed at 10 pm.  Somehow, it had been completely drained in four hours!  My husband then remarked, "They are getting ready for something big!"  My dog STILL wouldn't come into the kitchen that day and to make it worse for him, he now sat at the threshold to the bathroom, shaking as well!
The next morning when I got up for work, I could smell toast.  The air was THICK with the aroma!  I was certain my husband made some a few hours before and that was the reason.  When I checked with him later, however, he said that no one had cooked anything all night.
On the 12th, when I got up, I was leaving and I turned on the outside light (I only turn it on when I leave).  The brand new Feit 18 Watt Par38 ECOBulb CFL Outdoor Bulb BPESL18PAR38T (Google Affiliate Ad) CFL bulb that I had changed the DAY BEFORE was dead.  I had even checked it when I changed it and it was fine!  When I got to work, my 6 month old watch was dead at 12:30 am.  I couldn't believe it!  I didn't do a thing other than curse a little under my breath.  When I looked at it at 4:30 am, it started working again and hasn't stopped since!  I checked with the electrician at work and he said there is no explanation for the brand new CFL bulb to not work.  When I finally arrived home from work that day, I walked in and could hear a woman talking.  I called out, certain it was my mom or daughter.  After a thorough search, no source of the voice could be found.  Our "friends" were certainly trying to get our attention!
The next day, when my husband and I woke up BOTH of our phones were DEAD.  Needless to say, we had charged both the night before.  That night, our normally calm, warm home had a "creepy" feeling for both my husband and I all night.
On Sunday, the 14th, my husband and I heard voices throughout the morning.  When I was alone in the living room, a man whispered into my ear, "I see you."  This is unusual as when we hear voices, they are normally muffled and "distant."  I explained to the man why we haven't been recording and that we know they are here.  As I left the empty room, the man called out loudly, "April!" Later that afternoon,, I was talking to my sister on the phone.  If you are new to the site - she has a history with our house and many of the spirits often call out for her.  While we were talking, the phone went to speaker without me pressing that button.  When I tried to get her off speaker, I couldn't!  I could get the other buttons to work, but I couldn't get her off speaker!  I even went and had my husband try, but he couldn't either!  They wanted to hear her, I guess.  I had to finally hang up with her and call her back in order to remove the speaker phone function.  The next day, my husband came down the stairs around 4 am and when he reached the landing he heard two loud knocks come from behind him.  He tried to find the source, but he said it could have only come from the bookcase.
The 17th was quiet.  Phew!
The 18th, however, wow.  I colored my hair and while I was doing that in my empty house, I could hear muffled whispers like, "What's she doing? What color?"  It was cute and I told them to wait and see.  It was cute until I got in the shower to rinse it out.  While I was rinsing it, my hand hit something hard by the top of my head.  I immediately jerked my head around, expecting to see that I had hit the shower head, but NO.  The shower head was WAY too high.  Nope, I hit one of their hands. I am 100% certain.  I told that spirit to leave the shower and that no one was allowed in the shower with me.  I was upset and probably sounded angry.  When I finished my tirade, I went back to rinsing my hair and was scalded by the water.  I had to jump out to adjust it and found that the faucet had been turned all the way to the max.  Our control knob is WAY back from the bath nozzle - there is NO way it could be bumped and I had only had it turned slightly more than halfway.  When I got out of the shower and was brushing my hair, I saw a head peek around the corner of the stairs to look.  It was fast, but I could tell it was a man, about 6 1/2 feet tall.  The rest of the afternoon was filled with muffled voices.  People often ask why we record - THIS is why.  If we don't give them a way to release their energy and be heard, they do more and more to get our attention.
The next day was pretty quiet, although we weren't home very much.

The 20th was the day that the paranormal team came to investigate.  Jon (my hubby) awoke to a dead phone, AGAIN.  While we were waiting for the investigators, my son was on the computer, my husband was in the kitchen, yet I could hear someone in boots walking around upstairs.  We were so relieved that they would finally be able to get out their message and ENERGY! The group's name is the Tri-County Paranormal Investigators and to be honest, I had mixed feelings about them coming.  I felt that we have done a great job of collecting evidence so that we can speak about our situation freely as we have evidence to back it up.  I also feel quite comfortable with our situation and we don't really need any help coming to terms with it.  I was willing to let them come in order to gain more research on our home.  I had done research, but I was always looking for more.  My husband, on the other hand, felt that having a third party to come in and validate our claims would give our family's story more credibility.  Well, the day of the investigation, we both started to get nervous that our "friends" wouldn't show up for just anyone.  Well, our nerves were for nothing.  Within five minutes of arriving, one of the investigators had been saying that he had never had an actual "experience" on site and sure enough, him and I both heard a voice and something moved behind him.  He was super excited after that!  And I will tell you this, after they arrived and began setting up, I was super excited as well.  They were so professional and had more equipment than I have EVER seen!  I have watched Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State, Ghost Adventures...NONE of these shows has more equipment!  They brought 9-12 infrared cameras, a bionic ear, EVP pumps, a spirit box, EMF detectors, an Ovulus, numerous recorders, digital cameras, thermometers - you name it and they probably didn't have just one, but many!  They also came with five investigators and pages and pages of research.  What a team!  That night, the entire team was pretty impressed by our "team" of spirits.  Every member of their team had an experience.  Here are a few highlights:

  • Member heard a "pop"/yawn sound behind him
  • 2 women heard a child walking/dancing/playing on an empty porch
  • Cameras turned off over NINE times
  • Frequent cold spots
  • An investigator had her hair pulled TWICE
  • We all witnessed a candle phenomena (to be discussed in up coming posts)
  • Cat noises in a cat-free home (animal free, that night)
  • One investigator felt pressure on chest
  • Another investigator heard dishes move in the kitchen as well as a light go on at that same time
  • One investigator for over twenty years continuously heard conversations and voices from empty floors/rooms
  • Frequent goosebumps
  • Shadows not lining up or where shouldn't be shadows 

Needless to say, it was an exciting night for all!  My husband and I didn't get to sleep until 4 am.  Even my daughter, her boyfriend, my stepdad and brother-in-law stopped over to witness the investigation.  My stepdad came over dripping in doubt and skepticism but left a total believer.  I will spend the next few postings discussing and sharing evidence from this investigation.  They are still reviewing the hours and hours of evidence, but have shared some of the pictures with me.  The one featured above is an orb captured that evening outside our home.  I have never been a believer in orbs, at least not what I have seen on TV shows. I DO believe most of them are bugs and/or dust.  The one pictured above and the ones pictured below have really opened my mind.  I know for a fact there were NO bugs out that night (too cold!), no moisture, heck! There wasn't even a breeze!  The top one from below was actually captured in our bedroom.  And the "orbs" that the investigator, Nikki, caught were actual energy and emitting their own light.  I was pretty amazed.  Some even have human faces inside...the prism one has legs and arms outstretched! Nikki also caught an AMAZING picture of a child with a teddy bear on our empty porch, but I think I will save that one for next posting!






While they were investigating in the kitchen and family room, I left my Olympus recorder running at the end of set-up in the living room and let it record for about an hour and 40 minutes.  I had to discard the first 25 minutes, as there were so many people walking around and talking that counting something as paranormal was almost impossible. Due to the LARGE amount I have already shared with you, I will just give you a few EVPs to listen to...at least for tonight!  Be sure to check back frequently for more pictures and evidence captured from that night!

This clip has one of the investigators testing walkie-talkies in the family room.  He is the only one in the room, yet you can hear another man whispering in the room while the investigators are working.  At :02 & :04 it sounds like a man whispers, "April," and then he says something at :07.  I think it sounds like, "I love you, baby," but I am not sure which makes this clip a Class B EVP.
April. April!

This next clip is from an empty house.  At :02, you can hear an investigator way in the background as he is the last to leave the house.  At :07, a man whispers, "April."  At :10, the same man whispers,"I don't see it" or "I don't see her."  You decide...
April. I Don't See It.

This next one again is from an empty house.  Everyone is in the garage setting up and/or outside.  The humming noise is the computer that the recorder is sitting by.  From :01-:03 there is indecipherable sentences from spirits, but at :04 a man clearly says, "April's in there."  At :12 a woman says something else like, "Where's she at?" or "What's that?" or "Where's Dad?"
April's in There

Nice, clear one for you.  Still empty house, quiet recording until :09, when you hear a loud whisper of, "Angie."  No Angie's here (that we know of.).
Angie

...and that, my friends, is just the tip of the ice burg!
