Findings:
GOGPI was called to investigate the above claims of activity. Base reading in the house were within normal limits, temperature normal for conditions, EMF were within normal reading, except around the electrical equipment and electrical panels where they were higher, as expected.
We did not capture anything on video or in our pictures but did record numerous EVP’s. The investigators all had some type of unexplained personal experience, see below.
With the claims of activity from the home owner, experienced by more than one person, the investigators personal experiences, and the EVP’s, plus the findings from a previous investigation at this location, we feel the home has paranormal activity and is haunted. We recommend a follow up investigation to see if we can duplicate some of the results of this investigation along with finding more evidence of activity.

Personal Experience summaries from investigators on the investigation:
Ed:
My personal experiences consisted of hearing a rustling sound like clothe or leaves in the master bedroom. I looked out the window and the leaves were not moving, no wind blowing. While in the office heard a low rumble or grinding type sound, like a car but no cars were around at the time. While on my sweep I felt a heavy sensation in the guest bedroom that diminished after being in the room for a few minutes.
Laurie:
Some unexplained noises.
Beth:
Other than getting scared half to death by the timed air fresheners, I had no personal experiences. However it was fun debunking the air fresheners which I thought was a spirit jumping out and hissing at me!
