| Location: Roseville, CA Members Present: Dave, Sabrina, Chakia, Ann, Janelle, Jenni, and Charlotte with California Haunts Reason for Investigation: Em remembers the last evening with her husband like yesterday. Nothing seemed out of place, except for the family dog seeming clingy. The next day her husband left the house and never came home again; several days later she received the dreadful news. In the following days, she would be sitting near the front door and see her husband walking up the front steps, but never enter. She even got up to see who was there, finding nobody. She passed this off as normal grieving. As time went on certain items special to her husband began showing up in different locations. A coffee thermos from the garage was found in the kitchen. She started sleeping poorly. Now six years have passed since the suicide of her husband and she was woken, wide awake, in the middle of the night. She can’ t see well without her glasses, but a dark shadowy figure was standing at the side of her bed. Thinking somebody was in her home, she leaned towards it and swatted at him. Her arm went right through it. The man moved closer to her and then disappeared over the headboard. Summary: The team arrived at 8:30pm and began setting up equipment. The team sensitives were given no information from the preliminary interview. The prelim photographs showed one possible orb in front of the television set. The investigation pictures showed an orb below the television set, next to the cat post. Readings on EMF and temperature throughout the home were normal except in Em’s bedroom. This area was closed off with Janelle, Jenni, and a sensitive. The readings were centered at the closet, corner of the bed, and dresser. These are all in the same corner of the bedroom. When the team opened Em’s closet door, the EMF spiked to over 4.0 and the temperature dropped. With the door closed the EMF was elevated at 1.8, with a room base of 0.2. Several photographs were taken during the readings. There was an orb moving on Jenni’s head. Pictures were taken of Jenni acquiring EMF readings at the corner of Em’s bed. During a normal reading the picture was perfectly in focus. During a spike of 4.0 half of the picture toward the head end of the bed was blurry. Our sensitives picked up a Hispanic male presence. EVP sessions were conducted in English and Spanish with the film crew present. The first session in English detected a metal clanging sound on the audio from Charlotte. The lights in the room were unchanged. During the second session, the lights dramatically flicked off and on in response to questions. On the tape a voice is clearly heard answering Ann in English without editing any of the recordings. There are several spoken responses recorded and elevated EMF spikes that occurred. The room temperature dropped 6 degrees and various team members reported tingling or headaches. Sabrina and Ann went in to the room after this to clear the room of any unwanted presence. Em sat in the living room and was kind enough to tell her story for the film cameras. We all thank her for her courage. Sabrina sat and spoke to her. Sabrina was filled with sadness and asked about her husband. Both ladies cried. Em’s husband wanted to say the goodbye he had not the night before he took his life. Em too, had her chance to say, “Goodbye”. During the beginning of this private time, the new camera batteries emptied immediately. The entire API team wants to thank Em for so kindly inviting us in to her home. Thank you sweet Em. Research Highlights: The corresponding cold spots, EMF spikes, photographic orbs and blurred spots at the same time are indicative of something paranormal. EVP also recorded voices of a male and possibly a female. What is said is open to interpretation. Members of the group at different times in the evening had sensations of tingles, headaches, and vertigo. Nothing at the residence demonstrated anything threatening at any time. |
