Three story,
four-bedroom house, built in 1875, occupied by four adults, two

Reported
Activity:
The
clients have reported seeing shadows in the second floor hallway. They
have heard voices and knocking smelled strange odors and have
had things disappear. The clients have had doors slam shut in front
of them in the basement and on the second floor and report that their
18-month-old daughter appears to see and talk to something. One of
the clients has reported seeing shadows in the graveyard behind their
house and turned over to The PPA, a bone that was found in a debris
pile along their property line with the graveyard. The clients
believe the bone may be from a human and may have come from the
graveyard. It has been stored on the property since it was found
just after the clients moved in. An additional bone was found but
destroyed and discarded when the debris pile was cleaned up.

Notes:
A
large amount of rapid battery drain occurred on multiple devices
during this investigation.
AUDIO
and EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon): VR1
(Digital
Voice Recorder: Stationary in
the kitchen)
At
8:58PM, a series of unusual knocks and bangs were recorded in the
kitchen with no one present in the house except for a team on the
second floor who were all seated at the time. The rhythmic knocking in
the background should be excluded.
VR2(Digital Voice Recorder: Stationary in
the basement)
No
physical evidence captured on this device at the time of the
investigation.

investigation.
VR5
(Digital Voice Recorder: Stationary in
the attic
level storage area)
At
1:15AM, this device recorded a series of strange knocks in the attic
while no one was present that were above the norm and that would not
be caused by normal settling or foot traffic on other floors.

At
1:49 another set of strange knocks were recorded.
VR6
(Digital Voice Recorder: Stationary in
the second

bedroom)
At
9:53PM, a possible EVP was captured on this device. No one was in the
room at the time and investigator contamination was ruled out.

other small object hitting the metal double doors behind Mark as he
sat down on a set of steps leading from the basement to the back
yard. Mark intentionally sat in this area at Virginia's request
because she was psychically sensing that this area was a male
energy's “space” and wanted to see what would happen if Mark sat
there. At no other times during the 6 .5 hour recording in the
basement were any other noises out of the ordinary heard in the
basement.

Investigator
Feelings / Personal Experiences: Mark
–While
Mark was investigating in the basement, he had an experience where
where it felt like someone was standing right behind him. Virginia
then reported sensing a man in the doorway behind Mark. Following
this experience, Virginia directed Mark to go sit on a set of steps
in the basement area that led from the basement to the backyard.
Virginia said she felt that this was this man's “space” where he
liked to hang out and wanted to see what would happen if Mark sat in
it. Mark sat in this area and within seconds, it sounded like a
pebble or something about that size, hit the metal double doors just
behind Mark. Refer to Camcorder#1 and Camcorder#2 video above.

(Psychic Medium) –Nothing
to report
Metaphysical
Impressions:
Psychic
Medium Virginia Centrillo picked up on the energy of a woman named
Mary and the energy of a man named Robert, believed to be Mary's
husband. Virginia believes that there are other energies that move
in and out of the house coming from the cemetery in the back yard.
Virginia feels that some of these entities are Earthbound but others
are not. In the cemetery behind the house, Virginia picked up on a
little boy named William who is about two or three years old.
Again
in the home, Virginia was getting a woman by the name Catherine that
was connected to the name Jones. Virginia later picked up on a male
energy who owned some sort of business and worked all over town. His
last name was Jones, R Jones. Virginia felt Mr Jones to be very
present around the grounds and home. Virginia felt he is still
involved in the area just watching over things and does not want to
leave. Virginia felt he moves around the whole town.
Conclusion:
During
the course of this investigation, investigators had a few personal
experiences and several out of the ordinary bangs were recorded on
audio at times when no one was present. A possible EVP was recorded
and investigators noted a seriously high rate of rapid battery drain
on several pieces of equipment. Battery drain is known to accompany
paranormal activity. Some of the activity present on this
investigation validated the client’s claims and experiences
initially reported. Further correlations were made with the client’s
initial report of activity, the history of the location and psychic
impressions that Psychic Medium Virginia Centrillo was presenting.
The bone that the family discovered was sent to a regional
DNA
Lab for testing however, the bone was too old to get a sufficient DNA
sample to test. The Lab was able, however, to identify the
bone
as that of a human bone based on comparison testing. Based on all
information gathered through the investigation, The PPA
believes that there is some level of activity occurring at this
location.
At
the request of the family, Virginia conducted a cleansing of the home
and tried to help several energies she picked up on, try to “cross”.
Virginia feels she was successful in crossing several spirits on
different levels but believes that due to the proximity of the home
to the graveyard, basically sharing the same space, some activity
will remain but can be minimized by taking certain steps to keep the
energy up in the house and by being respectful to those spirits that
remain. At the time of the investigation review with the clients, they
reported activity for three days after we left and then no activity.
This is around the same time frame Virgina said they would experience
activity until the spirits left. The PPA then brought in Father Larry
Elward to bless the home and to conduct a ceremonial burriel
of
the human bone that was found on the property. The PPA will continue to
monitor the
residence for any
additional paranormal activity and take addition steps to reduce the
activity should any persist.
