We were contacted by the residents of the house. They had been experiencing a large number of unexplainable and disturbing incidents.
See the investigation section for details.
The people moved out of the house after arranging for our investigation, but before we came out. The experiences were getting too intense.
Research:
The residence gave us a thorough listing of incidents in the house. We did not find any outside information.
Conclusion:
While we did not find much during our investigation, we believe that the residents have experienced quite a bit of activity. Unfortunately for us (fortunately for them) the residents moved out of the house and we will no longer be able to investigate the house.
We talked with the residents of the home and the following is a summary of what they told us:
House
The house is from the 1920s, probably built for workers at the salt company
They moved in during the winter, the house had been empty for some period of time - one year?
The previous residents did not experience much activity - acquaintance of current residents
At one time an alcoholic couple lived there - there were issues with the home
A local, long time neighbor said that all residents experience illness, bad luck and death of animals
Experiences
First night it sounded like there was walking on the stairs - this has happened repeatedly
They experience chest pains, anxiety, feeling that they need to fight, or flight
Feeling of being watched in a number of locations
Voices from late teen/early 20s girls/women are heard
Female voice moaning (sexual nature)
Frequently there are footsteps going upstairs into the bathroom and the sound of water turning on and then off - as if someone was getting ready for bed
They hear pounding on walls, talking, sniffling...
TV channels change on their own
Lights will dim or brighten on their own
"Barnyard" like smells are noticed in hallway... exterminators have not found and evidence of animals living in the house
Their dog did not do well in the house
not eat
sick
frightened - wanted to stay in kennel when normally it dislikes it
watches the stairway as if it is following something/someone - occasionally it will appear to be 'shimmering' where the dog is looking
Female resident wakes up every night @ 3:31 AM
Cupboard doors will close on their own - but not in a normal manner
Specific Incidents
Female resident touched in shower, fingers ran down her back
Shower curtain moves while female in shower - pulled open, not billowing
While female resident was in shower something touched ear. When she got out, the floor was wet, the door was wet (as if someone touched it), the door was closed and the hallway was wet
While sitting at kitchen table, female resident and mother heard what sounded like someone climbed through the back window and fell down - there was no one there. The next day there was an odd substance on the floor where the sound originated - looked like glue/silkworm substance
Female resident felt like someone was pulling her from the bed. She was sideways and had red marks (thumb prints) and bruises on arms and legs - she occasionally gets scratches
Strong odor of alcohol - male resident thought that female was drunk (she wasn't)
After reading the Bible, the activity seemed to pick up
They moved out the night that the steps came up the stairs, into bathroom and then back and forth in front of bedroom door, as if it wanted to come in
Location:

Main floor
living room, kitchen, backroom - audio
Upstairs
master bedroom - audio and video
guest bedroom - audio
bathroom - motion sensor
hallway - stereo audio
Stairway
main to upstairs - video
We only checked the basement for CO levels and EMF - there were not complaints about the basement.

Two VN-5200PC audio recorders
Stereo XY recorder
Two Sony DCR-HC38 video recorders with external IR lights
Two Cellsenor Gauss Meters
Digital Cameras
HCO Scoutguard SG550 Motion Sensor Camera - in video mode
Investigation Process:
We did a walk through the house with the residents - this was recorded on the stereo recorder. We then set up the recorders as described above. We performed EVP Sessions in
Living room
Master bedroom
Hallway
Backroom
Research:
No outside independent research has been performed.
Findings:
There was one EVP found during the investigation, please refer to the attach exhibits.
Nothing was found on the video nor the motion sensor camera.
