Centerville

This investigation turned out to be very challenging for us. Not only were we traveling a fair distance but we were also bringing along a new investigator. So we all packed up Pop, Pami, Josh, myself and our new friend Brant and convoyed to Centerville. When we were contacted by this family they stated that there had been minor activity in the home for years. Everyone had heard footsteps, felt as though they were being watched from time to time or even seen the occasional shadow from the corner of their eye. Then things began to change, a few months before they contacted us the wife claims to have been touched by their “ghost” and then the granddaughter also said that she had been touched. This seemed to be a little disturbing to the family and they wanted to find out the intentions of this “ghost”. When we arrived in Centerville we sat down with all the members of the family who live in the home and listened to each of their experiences. The patriarch of our family says that he has heard a female call his name on many different occasions but has never been touched or felt threatened. His wife says that she frequently feels as though someone is watching her while she is in the kitchen. Their granddaughter says that in addition to being touched she has seen the horrible image of blue feet swinging in the front office. Shortly after we were given a tour of the home and showed where activity seemed to frequent. While walking in a hallway between the main living room and the granddaughters bedroom 2 members of our team heard a growling noise. We decided that our remote IR camera needed to be set up in this space. We quickly got video cameras in the kitchen, the main living room, the front foyer and into the office. We set up our monitor for the IR camera outside in the front yard so that it could be manned at all times. When the investigation began we split into pairs, 1 pair went into the house and began taking digital still photos while another pair walked the perimeter of the property taking more photos and we had a team member watching the IR video. We all rotated in and out of the house. Several of us had some very interesting personal experiences. We all saw several orbs in motion on the IR camera, 2 of us heard the growl in the house, and while out watching the IR monitor with Josh and Pami I distinctly heard a nondescript male voice call my name. I didn’t think much about it because the 3 of us had been talking and then out of no where I heard again “hey Lee” so thinking that it had been Brant or Pop calling me from the house I jumped up and ran toward the house. I suddenly realized that no one had called my name and I as walked back to the table Pami and Josh asked me what was going on, and why I had run to the house. So I explained what I had heard they both denied hearing anything and seemed puzzled by my actions. We rotated teams again Brant and Pop manned the outside monitor and Pami, Josh and myself went back in the house we were able to get some interesting pictures. We were in the middle of doing some EVP work when we heard a rattling noise similar to a teacup on a saucer coming from the living room. We all ran down the hall to see if we could document the noise or find the source when we were met by the homeowner asking us if we were done yet. Our investigation ended there. Review of the evidence we collected yielded the standard dust orbs and a few out of focus pics, 2 photos of a mist in the kitchen area and in the front area. There is a dark shadow covering the image of 1 of our members while in the granddaughters room and an elongated streak of white also in the granddaughters room. On EVP we recorded a distinct male voice saying ” I don’t like this” “no” “stop” and the growl. As with all investigations there is some data gathered than can easily be debunked. Some of our photos turned out this way. We feel as a group that the photos of the mists and the shadow are some form of paranormal phenomena. As far as the EVP’s go all members of our team were accounted for or identified on each recording so we feel that our recordings are genuine. We revealed our findings to the homeowners a few weeks later and were able to meet more of the family who were eager to share their stories with us. Everyone seemed satisfied with our results. We as a group do not feel as though anything harmful or malicious resides in the home with the family but we do feel as though the family needs to make peace with their house guest and stay a strong and united family making their wishes known. The family agreed and has made plans to have their home blessed by a priest. Documented by Lee CTPS investigator.

Update on Centerville -

We recently got in touch with our family in Centerville to see how everyone was doing after the investigation. Our family reports very little in the way of occurrences. We were told that things seem to have calmed down a bit. There are no more reports of being touched or bothered by the presence they felt in their home. Life seems to be getting back to a more normal path for these folks. We are sure glad to hear that they are feeling more comfortable in their home. Documented by Lee CTPS Investigator
