Location:  Sacramento,  CA

Members Present:  Dave, Sabrina, Ann, Mike, Janelle, Patricia, and Charlotte

Reason for Investigation:  When the phone lit up in front of this young lady and
the home health nurse, upon her mothers passing, the family knew mom was still with
them.  However, her son began seeing a woman in the kitchen.  When the daughter
saw her mother in the kitchen, after her death, it got her attention.  She is okay with
her mother watching over them up close, but then more began happening.  Tapping
and clicking in the night.  A foul fecal smell that filled the kitchen and left as quickly
as it came.  Lights and plumbing began acting up, flickering and dripping.  Visiting
family brought their dog.  The dog began barking and growling at one corner of the
front room.  Items were found out of place or broken.  The young woman called
API to try and find out if there was something more than her mother with the family.
When the resident asked the property owner for permission to investigate she
learned of prior happenings in the home like a door that kept opening even when it
was locked.

Summary:  The team arrived at 6:30pm and began setting up equipment.  The
team sensitives were given no information from the preliminary interview.  Activity was
noted on the preliminary at the time of her mother’s death, 7:15pm and at 10:00pm.
Each pair of members went through each room checking temperature, EMF, video
tapping, and taking photographs. At 7:20pm Ann’s camera took 2 exposures
without being touched on the tripod.  At the same time Patricia on the sofa
developed chest pressure.  EMF spikes to 1.3 and cold spots 6 degrees cooler
were noticed by all also.  Sabrina, our sensitive arrived at 8:00pm and began her
walk through.  Photographs from four different people all showed orbs above the
sofa in the family room.  EMF around the sofa had a base of 0.0 and spiked 1.9 to
2.5.  Temperature baseline was 70 degrees, but dropped to 65 and 64 at times.  
Most dramatic occurred in the family room during “lights out”.  Three team members
sat on the sofa with the video recording.  Various members verbalize when they feel
the cold spot go by.  During the same time on video an orb can be seen each
occurrence on tape.  Ann felt light headed and Karen developed chest tightness.  
Photographs taken of investigators feeling cold spots also reveal orbs of various
sizes and brightness.   EVP was obtained in the bedrooms and living room.  Sabrina
stated after the session he said,” Holy XXXX, What’s that”, when he saw “the
light”.  On EVP, this verbatim is heard.  There is more said on the audio, but only
enough to say that something is said by somebody other than anyone present.  At
the conclusion of the EVP and video living room session, Patricia began to cry.  She
felt a very lonely and sad man in that area.  In statements written before talking, all
three agreed on a middle aged man who passed away alone.  Sabrina and Ann
came up with the same name, Richard.  

Findings:  The corresponding cold spots, EMF spikes, video orbs, and
photography at the same time are indicative of a haunting.  EVP also recorded
various voices both male and female.  What is said is open to interpretation.
Members of the group at different times in the evening had sensations of dizziness,
light headed feelings, and chest pressure/tightness. Nothing at the residence
demonstrated anything threatening.  The mother’s ashes are located in the home
near the entrance to the home.
