Some background on this case that is relevant to not only our investigation but our findings as well are that there has been no paranormal activity in this home until recently. His wife passed away about 6 years prior and this is who they believe is causing the activity. They are not fearful, just curious and would like to obtain some information and answers.
We had a lot of KII activity this night, especially in the basement. It was very reactive to questions and conversations. This evidence was relevant to what was being discussed and was not just random.
We did not capture anything on video, as we had two static cameras running all night. We also did not have any ITC communication with the spirit box.
Our REM pod went off once while it was stationed in the hallway where there are claims of cold spots.
We captured quite a few EVP's as well. Many were only relevant to the family, given that they were special phrases or sayings that hold an importance. Here are a few of the ones that we obtained.
This one occurred while we were on a break. We were all up in the kitchen and set the KII down on the table, still powered on. It happened to start spiking, for no logical reason that we could discern. When we listened to the audio, we heard the name "Jane" being said the moment the KII started to spike, which you will then hear people react to.
This one was obtained before we even started investigating. We were still in the process of setting up, but had already turned on our audio recorders. Here you will hear people talking, and in the pause of the conversation, there is a faint womans voice that says "la-dee-da". When presenting this to the family, they relayed that this phrase and the way it was sung is something of relevance to them.
This was another one that was caught during conversation. There is distinct heavy breathing over top of the words being spoken. This was not anyone on site.
On this next clip, you'll hear some talking way in the backgroud, as we were all outside on break, but that female noise happened again at this time.
This was the only one where we got a direct answer to a question asked. The question asked was "Do you want to go have a cigarette with us?" And there was what sounded like "habit" as the answer. This was is a tough one, and we all speculated on the translation.
This one, although loud and distinct, could not be made out by our team. When we revealed it to the client however, they knew immediately what it said, as it was a phrase from their family. This again, happened during a conversation, and sounds like a woman yelling something.
This one is a whisper of several words. We can not quite make out the beginning of it but the tail end sounds like "----your father's ok". Something to the effect of 'make sure your father is ok' or something close. We can not determine for sure.
This was another incident where we were getting some KII interaction. We also got an EVP at this end of this clip that sounds like "mmm".
**TWPG has been invited back for a second investigation within the upcoming months**
