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 home by taking EMF and temperature readings, all were within normal limits, and conducting EVP session throughout the home. We did not get anything in our pictures or video. We did record numerous EVP’s. The investigators did not have any personal experiences.
With the claims of activity from the client and 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.

RESEARCH ON PROPERTY
| DETAILS & HISTORY OF PROPERTY |
| ● 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2147 sq. ft., unfinished basement
● Built 2007, 2 stories, exterior wood. ● No deaths found on property. |
| HISTORY OF AREA |
| ● About A.D. 1400, for reasons still debated, some of the indigenous peoples large chiefdoms collapsed and reorganized themselves into smaller chiefdoms spread about in Georgia’s river valleys, including the Ocmulgee and the Chattahoochee. The Spanish incursions into the Southeast in the sixteenth century devastated these peoples. European diseases such as smallpox may have killed 90 percent or more of the native population. But by the end of the 1600s Southeastern Indians began to recover.
● The history of early Georgia is largely the history of the Creek Indians. For most of Georgia’s colonial period, Creeks outnumbered both European colonists and enslaved Africans and occupied more land than these newcomers. Not until the 1760s did the Creeks become a minority population in Georgia. They ceded the balance of their lands to the new state in the 1800s. ● In 1836, when Georgia decided to build a railroad to the U.S. Midwest and a location was chosen to be the line’s terminus. The stake marking the founding of “Terminus” was driven into the ground in 1837 (called the Zero Mile Post). In 1839, homes and a store were built there and the settlement grew. Between 1845 and 1854, rail lines arrived from four different directions, and the rapidly growing town quickly became the rail hub for the entire Southern United States. During the American Civil War, Atlanta, as a distribution hub, became the target of a major Union campaign, and in 1864 Union William Sherman’s troops set on fire and destroyed the city’s assets and buildings, save churches and hospitals. ● Civil War activity in the 5 mile radius of the area: o July 18, 1864. Hooker’s Federal 20th Corps occupied this area and camped in this vicinity that night, while Ward’s div. moved E. to Buckhead where it camped on the right of Howard’s 4th Corps. o July 19. Geary’s div. moved S.W. (on Arden Rd.) 6 miles away, intending to cross Peachtree Cr., at Howell’s Mill. Finding the 14th A.C. there, Geary shifted his column so as to cross above (at North Side Drive). Williams followed Geary the next day to the battlefield of Peachtree Creek. o July 20, 1864. To this high ground, 500 yds. away from Collier Rd. the 33d N.J. regt., Jones’ brigade, was sent to establish & support a battery position. The regiment had scarcely reached this hill when, in a surprise attack, it was assailed by Scott’s brigade (Loring’s div.) [CSA] moving toward the main line of the 20th corps. o August 1864, From a bastion (at W. Fair & Ashby Sts.) of the city fortifications, an entrenched line of earthworks was added which ran S.W. to and below East Point. This line, W. of and parallel to the West Point and Macon railroads (entering the city from the S.W.), was designed to resist Federal attempts to seize them. From July 28 to Aug. 25, progressive approaches to, and continuous bombardment of, the city having failed, the Federals seized the railroads at Fairburn & Jonesboro, thereby forcing the evacuation of Atlanta, which was surrendered by Mayor J. M. Calhoun on Sept. 2 |
