CTPS recieved
a request for an investigation at the home of a young couple in Lorena. They have lived in their current home for 4 years with their children ranging in age from 21 months to 12 years. The claims of activity that this family has experienced includes interference with electronics in the house, the apparition of an elderly woman with red hair, a black shadow moving from room to room and the talking in sleep of one of their children. There are no claims of harm being done but the clients are
concerned about the conversation that their daughter has to an unknown person while she is asleep. Upon researching the area it was discovered the the original home for this location had been torn down and removed . The home that stands on the property now has beenundergoing renovations since the family moved in. There are also reports from friends and neighbors that the red haired woman actually may have been one ofthe original homeowners from many years ago.Wearrived just after dark to meet the family and discuss their concerns and paranormal experiences. After a tour of the home it was time to obtain base line readings of EMF, temperature and humidity through out the house. IR cameras were set up to document the 2 long hallways within thehome, and in the childrens rooms. We divided into teams and began to take pictures and attempt evp sessions. While conducting an evp session in the master bedroom one of our investigators started to feel very strange. It is very difficult to explain but she just didn’t seemlike herself. She became quiet and detatched, said that she felt like she didn’t want to be in the house any more. We continued to take pictures and attempt contact via voice recorder. It was later discovered the there was an interesting blur of bright white light on a stuffed. Winnie the Pooh Bear. After leaving the room our investigator was able to regain her composure and finish the investigation. We moved on to one of the bedrooms in the back of the house occupied by 2 of the male children in the house. There was the usual assortment of toys, books, games and posters. On top of the book shelf in this room were some electronic toys all which had remotecontrols. The batteries were checked and found to be dead. Not enough juice in them to even turn the toys on. These toys were also very dusty indicating that it had been some time since they had been played with. While trying evp session we heard a mechanical noise that seemed to have come from the kitchen area. Naturally we abandoned the evp to check out the noise. It was discovered to be a clock that made tractor sounds on the hour. Back to the room we went. This time we heard a noise from somewhere near the book shelf. We placed one of the hand held video cameras on the top bunk and continued with our evp session. We were unable to capture any thing on the voice recorder but were stunned to be able to document one of the toy dinosaurs activating itself. This activity of the moving dina went on for about 4 minutes, until one of our investigators took it off the shelf. The toy stopped moving. This piece of video is on our website for viewing. The rest of out time at this Lorena residence was uneventfull. The evidence we presented to our homeowners included several pictures including the blur of white light on the stuffed toy, a dim shadow in one of the hallways and the dinosaur video.
