Central Texas Paranormal Society

Several months ago we at Central Texas Paranormal Society participated in an investigation with a few members of another paranormal group. I have debated whether or not to post this investigation due to the claims of activity and the ages of the persons involved and our inability to provide resolution. This investigation proved to be difficult. Was it the claims of activity and the children involved? Or was it the addition of unfamiliar investigators and the presence of other unstable factors that may influence the impressions of the homeowners and investigators alike. We approached the Killeen investigation like any other. There were several hours of research and multiple interviews with the homeowner and occupants in attempts to gather as much information as possible. Much of this information cannot be shared. The actual investigation took place on a clear, mild Saturday evening in a private residence near Ft. Hood. The occupants consisted of a married couple, their children ranging in age from 6 to 13. This family has also been subjected to some horrendous personal tragedy which may or may not have played a role in how they perceive their experiences now. As researchers we attempt to keep our personal feelings out of our investigations, but when kids are involved the tendency is there to be a little overzealous. There was a menacing presence in that home. Are we able to say 100% that this presence was paranormal? No we cannot, but we did capture some unusual EVP’s that suggest an intelligent entity (tapping’s on walls in response to questions) and some very disturbing personal experiences. There was a bedroom located in the back of the house that belonged to one of the smaller children and at times that room became so cold that the hair on your arms and on the back of your neck would stand up. You could also feel a heaviness when sitting in that room. As far as capturing photographic or video evidence we were able to capture a few photos with some very pale orbs in them and a few photos with a peculiar shadow in them. Also, three of our investigators heard foot falls in the attic although there isn’t room for someone to walk upright.  We attempted a blessing of the home using sage and a prayer. With the homeowner and her oldest child we went from room to room reciting a prayer, asking whatever presence that may have been there to leave. When we left the overall feeling in the home seemed to have changed. It seemed to have lightened. The home felt peaceful. As always we instructed the homeowner that it would take several days to review the data collected and to discuss our findings before we were able to sit down and reveal what we did or did not find. The homeowners was also advised to have the home blessed by clergy in order to maintain positive energy. We provided our clients with copies of the EVP’s and of all the photo’s containing anonymous images. However, our client seemed disappointed that we were unable to capture anything we felt was substantial. It is my personal opinion that there was indeed something odd or possibly paranormal occurring in that home. I am also of the opinion that the people who reside in that home have brought some very negative energy of their own into play. Unfortunatly, if there is and intelligent entity in that home I believe that the negative energy has only exacerbated the frightening expiriences that this family may have had. Several weeks after our investigation we were contacted again by this family stating that the menacing feeling had returned again. We referred this family to clergy and another group with more paranormal expertise. I feel it is important to state that there were no claims of any physical harm being done to any of the occupants or to any of the animals on the property, only feelings of extreme sadness and oppresion. We have not heard from this family again so we are hoping that they were able to find the help we seemingly were unable to provide them.
