Condition of the Home:
The house was an old mill house built around the 1930’s. It was in good shape and seemed structurally sound with the utilities in proper working order. As expected with a house of this age there seemed to be slight drafts around the windows and doors.

Findings:
GOGPI was called in 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 get anything in our pictures or video. We did record several EVP’s. The investigators had some personal experiences, see below.
With the claims of activity, personal experiences by the investigators, 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.
