CASE FILE #: 2008-1
PRIVATE HOME - ST HELEN, MI Jan 11, 2008
The homeowner called us because she had been experiencing quite a few things in the house that made
her wonder what was going on exactly. These things increased after her mother passed away in the
house. Several family members had spoken about being uncomfortable in certain areas of the house so
she finally decided to call.
BRIEF HISTORY:
The property has been in the family for 22 years. The homeowners mother owned the house until she
died in 1996, then the house was passed on to the current homeowner.
PHENOMENA REPORTED:
*shadows moving and apparitions of people appearing just out of the corner of the eye.
*feeling of being watched.
*ceiling fan pull swinging on its own, no windows open.
*someone shaking the bed until the person sleeping in it woke up (this was reported after our initial
investigation)
*feeling of someone leaning over the shoulder and breathing in the ear.
EQUIPMENT USED:
Sperry EMF meter; T2 type thermocouple; digital camera; sony camcorder with night vision; analog voice
recorder with external mic; laser level; blacklight light bulbs
WEATHER/ASTROLOGICAL READINGS:
Temperature outside was 32 degrees with 80% humidity. Wind was at 12 mph W. The area had gotten a
few inches of snow the night before. Moon phase was waxing crescent. Moon rise at 10:06 a.m./set at
8:58 p.m. Sun rise was 8:12 a.m./set at 5:18 p.m.
METER READINGS:
There were some odd readings obtained on this investigation. The first team to go into a bedroom had
the thermocouple unit set to Celsius, but was a steady 22 to 25 degrees Celsius. Later in the evening,
around 10:40 p.m., there were some odd thermocouple readings. The living room baseline was around
78 degrees steady, but by a rocking loveseat, the temperature seemed to go up to 86 to 88 degrees,
then would return to normal.
Then in the same room, over by a side door that opened to the outside, where I would expect there to be
a draft as there was also a wall of windows next to the door, the temperature readings were 88 to 89
degrees, then would return to normal.
At this same time, we used the laser level to detect any shadow movement with all the fluctuations and
didn't note any breaks in the line. Later in the evening, around 11:30, one investigator was in bedroom
one and had a temperature reading of 67 degrees by his body, but the EMF meter held steady at 0.1 to
0.3, no other abnormalities noted.
VIDEO:
The camcorder was left in bedroom two with a blacklight on. This is the room where there are many of
the feelings of being watched. No abnormalities were noted.
AUDIO:
Nothing was picked up on the camcorder as far as audio, but we did get quite a few EVPs that night,
although they aren't posted yet. One voice sounds male, older, and the others sound female, some
sound like a child. None of the EVPs match the homeowners mother but until fully analyzed this is still
unknown. They were all obtained in the part of the house called the classroom (prior owner was an artist
and held art classes in that room) and in the kitchen area.
PICTURES :
No picture abnormalities were noted.
PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS:
Around 1:30 a.m., we all settled into the classroom for quiet observation. We kept hearing movement
about 15 degrees across the room but when investigated with flashlights, nothing could be seen moving
or having been moved. Some very light scratches were heard, but we were unable to tell exactly where
they were coming from. There were a few slight unexplainable knocks on an outer wall that joins the
garage to the house. It is unknown for sure if there were any animals in the garage (like mice, squirrels
or chipmunks nesting for the winter) although homeowner said no. We heard a few sounds coming from
the kitchen area, like someone was walking around, so that is when we put the voice recorder in the
kitchen, and went back into the classroom to wait. We let the tape recorder record until we ran out of
tape, about 2:30 a.m.
SUMMARY:
This house does have a little bit of a freaky factor to it, especially bedroom two and, for some reason,
the bathroom which opens into the far side of the kitchen. The classroom was a little freaky feeling as
well but not like the other two rooms. Most of the activity we noticed was in the classroom and between
the kitchen and bathroom. We have been asked to come back again and we intend to do a follow up
investigation as soon as the homeowner is ready.
UPDATE:
While the homeowner was in the hospital in May 2008, her daughter slept at her house, in bedroom 2. In
the middle of the first night there, she had strange dreams that 3 ghosts were following her around, but
no one could see them, then she dreamt that she was sleeping and they were trying to wake her up.
She said she woke up with a start because someone was shaking the bed at the foot of the bed.
She recently had sleep apnea testing and was told she frequently stops breathing. She feels she was
being woke up because she had stopped breathing.
