Findings:
GOGPI was called in to investigate the above claims of activity. . Base reading in the house were within normal limits, temperature normal for conditions, EMF were within normal reading, except around the electrical equipment and electrical panels where they were higher, as expected.
We did not get anything in our pictures or video. We did record several EVP’s. The investigators had some personal experiences, see below.
With the claims of activity, personal experiences by the investigators, 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.

Personal Experience summaries from investigators on the investigation:
Ed
While at base I heard a thump noise come from the room above. It sounded like a cat jumped off the bed but there was no cat in the room. Christie was sitting with me and heard it too. Larry and Chris went to the room to investigate and when Larry put his foot down a little hard and when he hit the tire with his hand it reproduced the sound I heard. I also heard the Rempod going off in the upstairs overlook, no one was around it.
Larry
When me and Chris were in the basement we heard some shuffling noises. Also base called and said a Rempod was going off on the upstairs landing when we got there it was still going off but nothing was around it. While we were in the kitchen we heard a loud noise, also in the kitchen Chris said he felt a cold spot, and as I turned to get the thermal off the table I felt something brush against my left elbow. There was nothing around me to touch me
Chris
While investigating with Larry in the basement we heard a noise come from the corner. While in the basement they called from base and said that the Rempod was going off upstairs so we went up to check it and it continued to go off while we was there and nothing around it. When we was in the kitchen we heard a noise come from the upstairs I think, and as I was standing next to the sink area I got a cold chill Larry went to get the thermal he felt something brush his left elbow there was nothing around him to brush against. I felt to see if the air was on and nothing was coming out the vent
Christie
I heard a loud thump sound from upstairs while at base with Ed. I heard the upstairs REM pod going off while Chris and Larry were investigating in the basement and I was at base with Ed. While investigating in the boys room there was a knock sound and bump to the bed while Ed and I were sitting on the bed.
