Condition of the home:
House was built some time in the 1880’s. All utilities are up to date and in working order. The house is structurally sound, windows and doors are solid but are subject to sounds coming from the outside.
Investigation began: 5:30 p.m. tour of the home, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. set up, 7:30 p.m. started investigation and ended at 10:30 p.m.
Findings:
GOGPI was called in to investigate the above claims of activity. We set up stationary cameras in the reported active areas of the house. We then started investigating the rooms in the house by taking EMF and temperature readings, all were within normal limits, and conducting EVP session throughout the house. We did not get anything in our pictures or video. We did record numerous EVP’s. A couple investigators had some personal experiences, see below.
With the claims of activity from the client, personal experiences by the investigator, the EVP’s that were recorded we feel like there is paranormal activity in the house. We feel that the activity is not harmful for the home or the client and family. We cannot say the house is haunted without a follow up investigation to see if we can reproduce the claims of activity, personal experiences, and to gather more evidence of paranormal activity.

Upstairs in the baby’s room during set up I got a really creeped out feeling when I walked into the room.
During the investigation in the upstairs in right bedroom next to stairs I felt like we were being watched.
During the investigation upstairs in the small bedroom I heard footsteps between me and Brian.
When we were In baby’s room, I heard footsteps behind Brian in the hall. I could not hear them on my audio.
In the Parlor downstairs- we had what looked and felt like flashlight communication.
