· Doors opening by themselves

· During the first night of the resident's stay, he saw a black shadow move in the corner of the room. Becoming unnerved by this sighting, he couldn't sleep and went into the living room to sit. While looking towards the area where he saw the black shadow, he thought he saw something looking at him with red eyes.

· His sister stopped by the house and saw something that appeared to be glowing in the back bedroom where there is no electricity. This was witnessed by several that were present.

· Current resident felt uncomfortable when left alone in the house.

· Current resident felt that something in the house was trying to communicate with him and would follow him on occasions.

· Has experienced acid-reflux since moving in the house and also a heaviness in his chest.

· The dark shadow seen on the first night was witnessed again by resident and a visiting guest.

Reported Findings and Experiences:

· During the first night of the investigation, the female guest of the current tenant was operating the EMF meter in the back bedroom where the tall dark shadow had been seen on two separate occasions. Brenda asked for the ghost to make himself known.  At this time the EMF meter begin to give high readings. There was no electricity in this room. While the EMF meter continued to climb, the female guest felt someone touch her breast. Several photos taken at this time show an orb behind her.  After she indicated that something had touched her breast, Brenda asked the ghost if he liked breasts.  An EVP was recorded in response to this question of a male voice saying "Definitely".

· Just before the first investigation ended and the team was preparing to pack up, a loud stomp was heard in the middle of the living room floor. Brenda had stated earlier in the evening that if anyone there wanted help, they needed to let us know. We felt this was confirmation to their presence. This stomp was witnessed by everyone present. The stomp was very loud and there was no question that it was made by some unseen force.

· 9 EVPs were recorded during the first investigation, all of the same male voice. Besides the one listed above, the following EVPs were recorded in the back bedroom: Just after the team arrived and set up their equipment an EVP was captured saying "Hi" One of the guests made the comment, "I'm glad you're in the house" which was followed by an EVP saying "You Ought To Be".  Another EVP said, "Do I Know Anybody Who Might Know Who That Is?"

· An EVP was recorded in the kitchen saying "Where is Blanche?"

· In the living room, 4 EVPs were recorded as follows: "It's Cold…Tonight", "You're All Blab", either "Fight Her" or "Spider" and "She Couldn't Push Me Over". This last EVP was recorded after hearing the stomp and the female guest suggesting that someone tried to push him over.

· Two photos showing ghost mist were captured in the dining room. One was taken with a digital camera and the other with a 35 mm and black and white film.

· On the 2^nd night of the investigation, investigator John saw a tall dark shadow cross between the doorway of the kitchen and dining room. This was John's first sighting of a ghost in the two years of investigations he has conducted with the MPR team.

· You have been drawing pictures that look like something from dungeon and dragons because you think that's what you've been seeing. Male tenant admitted to this. I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing a big man, real tall.

· Have you had friends over? They are not all good friends. Some of this has come from that.

· Someone who lived here before used a Oujia Board and brought the big man in. Male tenant confirmed that he knew of the Ouija Board being used by a former tenant. They brought something in that didn't want to be brought in.

· The man is strong. He pulls me through this doorway. (Joyce moves from living room into the front bedroom.) I feel him. He's big, broad shouldered, heavy bearded, heavy whiskered, light skinned, dark hair, dark eyes. He pulls me on back here. (Joyce moves from front bedroom to back bedroom.) This is where they brought him in. This is where they used the Oujia board. His last name is Murdock, James Murdock. He walks with long strides. He was killed by another man. It was bad. He was not originally from here. It happened somewhere else. The Oujia board brought him in from somewhere else.

· I'm not picking up any Civil War activity associated with anyone here.

· Someone died of respiratory problems. They either had lung or throat cancer. They died in this house. His name was Paul. I think he rented the house though, I don't think he owned it.

· The young man who is here is named John. His last name begins with the letter V. Something like Vandenburg. I'm getting WWII with him. I see him in a WWII uniform. He fought in the war and then came home. I see him with a WWII motorcycle, one of the gray ones that they sold after the war. He was killed in an accident that involved the motorcycle and a car. He wants you to be careful because something silly happened on the motorcycle which caused his death. If you're thinking about getting one, you need to wait.

· A woman just came in. She has coal black hair which she wears in braids, twisted on both sides and pulled up around her head. Her name is Anna Marie. Her last name begins with a C. She says she's just visiting, that this house holds memories for her. She had a baby girl who was about 5 when she died. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, medium skin. She also had a baby who she was taking care of that was 9 months old. She died while taking care of this baby and comes back to look for it. She has been to the light so I don't understand why she looks for the baby. She lived around here in 1940 or 1944 and she tells me she lived next door to the north.

· The big man named James, tells me that he is the one who stomped on the floor.

· I feel like my voice needs to go down real low.

· Kathy began to channel the big man as soon as she walked in the house. The following is the transcript of that connection: I'm Mad!! I hope that shit works. Hope they know what the hell they're doing. Must go in here (kitchen). I just don't know what they're going to do. Now…to get that other shit out of here. I God Damn own this house, been here a long time. Not too a bad kid. 80 years.

· He's not angry with the one who lives here. He's big and gruff, a great big man, big and burly.

· I dreamed of this man last night. I saw him getting shot by another man. He would get shot and then just keep coming towards the other man. It just seemed like he kept getting shot and kept coming. He was a big man.

A clearing was performed and led by Joyce. A photo taken during the clearing shows an orb on the floor in the middle of the clearing circle. Another photo shows orbs hovering above or around the circle. The tenant has reported that he no longer feels a presence in the house and is now able to sleep there. Everything feels calm and peaceful to him.
