| Investigation Date: April 14, 2007 Location: Merced, CA Present: Dave, Ann, Michelle, Amy, Julia, Walter, Gary, and Ray Reason for Investigation: API was contacted by a group in Wisconsin who originally received this referral. The family would like to be able to sleep at night and protect their children. They have experienced strange smells, seen a black mist in the bathroom, the son has been touched, felt cold spots, and heard screaming at night. The Investigation: The team arrived at the residence at 6 p.m. This would be the first investigation that Gary joined us where he would attempt to debunk some of the claims. The team began their scientific investigation, taking temperature and EMF readings, while another portion of the team conducted the debunking exercises. Gary took sketches of the home and utilized the preliminary interview information to document where the claims of activity claimed to occurred, noting objects or things in those locations that may provide information. Ann took photos during the investigation to document the investigation process. Once everyone was done with the scientific portion of the investigation, we took a brief break to discuss our initial findings with one another. Gary continued to document details in the home in order to identify any logical explanations for the events that were discussed. The team prepared for the dowsing and EVP sessions next. During the dowsing sessions, the homeowners were allowed to ask questions in an attempt to better understand why they were experiencing certain events discussed during the preliminary meeting. Once the team completed the dowsing and EVP sessions, we took another break. The homeowners requested a blessing, so Dave conducted a Native American blessing of the home and its occupants. We packed up our equipment and left the residence. Findings: Temperature readings that were gathered by Amy throughout the residence proved to be steady at an average of 70 degrees. The highest temperature reading was 77 degrees in the living room. There was no other information gathered that could explain the significant change in temperature. EMF readings gathered by Walter were consistent also at an average of 1.5. The highest reading gathered was found in the master bedroom at 4. This could be due to the electrical plugs that were found in the room. No other significant information was gathered during that time. During the EVP sessions, everyone made note of hearing a “cough” in the bathroom when everyone was in the living room. Although Michelle was not acting as a sensitive, she picked up on an odd-looking boy who looked like a cartoon character. He comes from the neighborhood and pops in and out. She also picked up on a person in a car in the garage that appears on occasion. Amy experienced a camera battery that was originally full die after 5 minutes of use. |
