Where: Private Home Mt. Airy, NC
Time: 7:30 - 12:30
Homeowners reported hearing & seeing odd things in one general part of the house including an apparition of a man. Also things being moved in the house and little tricks being played on the homeowners like heat being turned up or down and toilet paper being put in sink. After arriving at house and getting full report on what has been happening, we started setting up and did EMF base readings. We found that the EMF's were extremely high in the part of the house that the clients did not feel comfortable and reported activity in. We explained what this could possibly mean. We set up 3 IR cameras and several audio recorders in various places and did EVP sessions for the rest of the night. We tried to do a session with ghost box but got no clear responses from it. We heard a few odd noises but nothing that we could label as paranormal. I heard what I thought was a groan in one of the bedrooms. But again could of been noise from outside. I felt very comfortable in home except in areas of high emf that did give you that uncomfortable sensation. Several members heard what they thought were whispers at different times throughout the night but again not sure if paranormal or outside noise or matrixing from other ambient noise. I had no other personal experiences that night. We wrapped up investigation and will review the recordings and get back to them.

Investigation December 11th
Start Time: 10:30
End time: 3:30
Place: Theater
Present: Sarah, Michelle, Matthew, Kevin and Theater manager - Jon.
Areas: Large theater area that was wide open with balcony and stage area. Area behind the stage and a basement area that included kitchen and dressing rooms. Also a lobby area.
History: no known history that would cause this place to be haunted. Always used as theater and opened up in the 1920s. Was abandoned for about 20 years from 1960s to the 1980s before it was renovated and opened back up. Was used for a Burlesque house for sometime during the early years it was opened up.
Weather: 33 and rainy
Moon Phase: First Quarter
Things to be aware of during investigation and review: car noise and traffic causing sound and lights, bar across street was open till around midnight and so some street noise coming from it.
While setting up and preparing for the investigation, I spotted a man up in the balcony walking and thought it was Jon - never questioned it otherwise. The man was clear as day and walking from left to right side of balcony. After seeing him I then directed my eyes back down and there stood Jon at the doorway at the bottom floor and he was busy doing something else. I quickly looked back up and nobody was in balcony and all other team members were present and counted for. I was baffled and knew that it wasn't Jon in balcony because I immediately saw him after seeing the man in balcony and just to be sure I spoke up and said what I saw and he said he wasn't in the balcony. Later that night kevin was headed up to the balcony with Matthew and Jon. The rest of us were sitting on the stage - I saw Matthew and Jon upstairs and preparing for investigation and Kevin later made his way up the stairs. Kevin spotted a man on the stairs and actually passed him within a couple feet and thought it was Jon. It was dark so couldn't clearly make out the face but same shape, size of Jon. It turned out that Jon was already upstairs and did not pass Kevin. He had been up there and we saw him up there way before kevin made his way up the stairs.
Also that night I felt what can be described as the tingly spider web effect on my head in the same exact spot that I saw the man walking on the balcony area. It was like electricity running up the side of my head. Oddest feeling I ever had and later Michelle had this same experience and neither of us knew about the other's experience before each experienced happened seperately. Kevin saw a black shadow figure dart across the stage like it was running. Several members heard voices that sounded like whispers in their ears. Some unexplained noises but the building is really old and makes a lot of noises. No major EMF fields in the building except for stage right and that was from electrical source but was close to ground. Our EMF meters did not go off the entire night. We used for the first time the ghost box and communicated with what seemed like something. We talked with it for at least an hour's time. It directed us to the basement area and told us it needed help in basement. It inexplicably said the words basement and crawl space and help me several times. It wanted us to go to the crawl space and look for it. It said something about a "hole". Then Jon speaks up and states there was a well in crawl space. It also stated that there was a monster there holding it. That is was scared and that the monster did this to it. When asking to speak to the monster - we got answers in what seemed like a very dark, almost demonic sounding voice. It was nothing that we've ever heard on a radio before. The repeated answers to same questions asked over and over seemed odd. I don't know what to think of the ghost box and if it's a tool that should even be used since it's full of possibilities of matrixing and concidence. It did seem to have a lot of answers though. I would like to try again some other time and see if we can debunk this tool. This place seems to have some sort of activity just from the personal experiences we had. Even excluding the ghost box - we still saw and heard things that were unexplainable. I look forward to going over the evidence carefully and hope we got some sort of evidence on audio or video. This is definitely a place I would like to revisit at some point.

Evidence from Investigation performed recently.....Follow up.
We received a great deal of evidence from the private home case that we have investigated twice now. There seems to definitely be some sort of paranormal activity going on in this historic home. There were numerous EVPS - some very clear and some that answered questions asked by investigators. We had unexplained EMF activity that could never be tracked to any natural source. With the personal experiences and great amount of EVPs collected at this location I would feel safe to say that something is going on in the home that we can not explain at this time. This could possibly mean that it's haunted but would love to do further research before I can say with 100% certainty. Whatever is in the location seems to be non harmful and is attached to the house, especially one room in particular.
The other historic location that we have investigated twice now also yielded many results. We had numerous EVPs even though a lot of it was very hard to go through with the background noises of the outside world. We were left with some unexplained voices and evidence. I believe that there is a lot of residual hauntings going on in this particular location. I look forward to investigated it hopefully on a regular basis so that we can identify more clearly what type of haunt and any other types of patterns that may emerge from more investigations. It's important to fully follow through on locations like this and key in on better research methods and tactics to get better evidence.
The investigaton in Morehead City, NC did not yield any results. All evidence - audio and video came up with absolutely nothing that could of been considered out of place. We do believe that this was just an off night and would like to investigate again sometime in the future to see if we get better results as this location has had a lot of known activity and results.
