Findings:

GOGPI was called in to investigate the above claims of activity. We set up stationary cameras in the reported active areas of the house. We then started investigating the rooms in the house by taking EMF and temperature readings, all were within normal limits, and conducting EVP session throughout the house. We did not get anything in our pictures or video. We did record numerous EVP’s. The investigators had some personal experiences, see below.

With the claims of activity from the client, personal experiences by the investigator, the EVP’s that were recorded we feel like there is paranormal activity in the house. We feel that the activity is not harmful for the home or the client and family. We cannot say the house is haunted without a follow up investigation to see if we can reproduce the claims of activity, personal experiences, and to gather more evidence of paranormal activity.

Personal Experience summaries from investigators on the investigation

Ed:

While down stairs I heard what sounded like footsteps on the floor above. While investigating the upstairs to the left I heard a floor board creak, Brian heard it too and the client’s dog, who was lying on the bed raised his head and looked in the direction of the noise.

Brian:

My personal experiences were coldness in my upper arms in Master Bedroom, Salon Room, and living room on 3 different times.  And steps upstairs while with Ed.

Melissa:

My only personal experience was getting nauseous in the master bedroom when Brian and I started our evp session.
