American Paranormal Investigations
Sacramento, CA
THE DOORBELL


API Members present:  Dave, Ann, Matt, Shawn, Sharon, Mike, and Sabrina

Information that prompted investigation:  
The mother of this residence has had unexplained events for the past 5 years.  This began the first day at
the residence with a painting falling from the wall at 2:00am.  It was not found directly from it’s nail, but around
and behind the furnace.  The children have said somebody woke them and pulled at their toes.  The clock in
the bathroom with or without batteries continued to change time at night.  When standing in the kitchen a lid
flew off the counter, scaring a young relative.  Laundry would move back out of the dryer, onto the floor.  
More disturbing was the front doorbell continually going off.  The family removed it, removed the batteries,
and placed it on the TV.  That evening, the mother herd it ringing again.  She walked in to the living room and
saw the button depressing on it’s own.  The springs were moving and the device ringing.  The batteries were
not in it at the time.  Nobody could be seen pressing the button.  This similar event occurred with a carbon
monoxide detector.  Also, this happened with the fire alarms in the home.  The master bedroom television
turns on and off without being touched.  The TV in the living room changed to Spanish after talking to Ann
from API.

The Investigation:
The team arrived at 8:00 pm and set up our equipment.  We began our walk through and photography.  
Sabrina, our sensitive of the evening, arrived at 9:00pm.  She was given no information gathered at the
preliminary interview.  There were a few “orbs” observed on photographs in the living room at various times in
the evening.  These did occur, at times, with a cold\tingly sensation on Dave’s right hand.  Later, while sitting
on the sofa, this occurred with Ann’s right hand.  There is no EVP or video evidence.  There were slightly
elevated EMF readings in the master bedroom over the baby’s empty crib.  These were 1.3 and dropped to
0.4 outside of this 12” sphere.  Coolness was noticed by Matt and Sharon.  The temperature didn’t flux
more than a few degrees.  Photographs revealed nothing.

Sabrina sensed the strong presence of a mentally unstable young man from drugs, an older woman that
looked after the children, and an older man that died of a heart attack in the bathroom.  Sabrina and Ann
worked together to help all presences move on.  In this case, prayer was used.  Afterwards the home
seemed, “lighter” to all present.  We will follow up in about three weeks.
