PRELIMINARY REPORT

INVESTIGATION/TRAINING

Private Residence, WEST CHESTER, PA

SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2006



PRESENT: MARK AND KAT, CAROL, KIM, CINDY, RUTH, ISAAC,
MICHELLE, RYAN AND HIS FATHER (DOCUMENTARY TEAM)

At 10:00 am , we gathered in the living room for a brief meeting and instructions for the investigation. Myself, Cindy, and Kim were assigned to do EVP’s on the 2nd Floor. We started by doing a floor plan of each room, hallway, and bathroom. Each one of us took a turn mapping out a room while the other 2 took base readings with EMF, ELF, and thermometer. We included measurements, and locations of all outlets, lights, computers, heating ducts, and anything that would or could cause and artificial reading on the meters.

BASE READINGS

While we were doing the floor plans and taking the base readings, we all experienced several spikes of the EMF meters throughout the 2nd floor. While mapping the master bedroom, I had gone up to the dresser (located between the windows), and got an EMF reading of 5. I scanned the meter around the dresser and it maintained the reading. I opened the top drawer and the EMF went to 0. I closed the drawer and it went back up to a 5. I did the same with the 2nd drawer and it did the same thing. I also noticed a 3 inch portion of the top/middle of the dresser that seemed/looked different from the sections around it. I touched it and it felt clammy to the touch. The other areas around it did not feel that way. I was also getting high EMF readings around the treadmill (located to the right of the dresser). The EMF was reading 4 and 5 just around the treadmill where you would stand. The reading went from the floor to about 3 ½ to 4 feet. We also had higher EMF readings (between 3 and 4) on the bed itself. We did have all of our equipment bags there, but we weren’t getting any readings directly from those bags.

We moved to the back office to map out the room. We again started to get higher EMF readings. This room is small and has several sources of artificial energy, but everything was turned off. We held the meters close to all these sources, and got very low (if any) readings at all.

We went into Middle office. This is an electronic heaven! We did our floor plan and took our base readings. Nothing was turned on and our base readings were minimal.
We went into the bathroom and we were getting base readings on the EMF of 2 – 3 around the sink and toilet areas.

The hallway was the last area to measure, take temps and base EMF readings. We had EMF readings of 3-4 around the stairs and hall closet (near the hinges). This reading also moved down the hall. We measured the height of the readings and nothing was higher than 4 feet from the floor.

Throughout the floor plans…EMF, ELF, Temp base readings were done along with digital pictures taken with Cindy’s digital camera.

INVESTIGATION

Once our floor plans were done, Mark met with us and demonstrated the EVP equipment. We used a hand held digital recording device with an external microphone. We were told to start the recording in each room and stay silent for 10 minutes. As we were doing this, we wrote up some questions to be asked in the next portion of the investigation and along with monitoring the temp and EMF meters that had been placed in several locations of the room. After the 10 minutes of silence, we asked questions and waited between 30 and 60 seconds before asking the next question.

ROOM # 1 MASTER BEDROOM

EMF meters were placed in 2 locations of this room: 1 on the bed and 1 on the floor near the dresser. The Temp was 68 degrees and was being monitored by Kim. Cindy was located on the bed, Kim was on the floor near the dresser and I was in the corner on the opposite side of the room. I held the recorder and external microphone. We turned on the recorded and did the 10 minutes of silence. The 2 EMF meters would go off simultaneously and had a constant reading of 3 – 4. The temp started to rise. After the 10 minutes of silence, Cindy started to ask the questions*. As Cindy was reading the questions, the EMF meters would react to the question. The readings were between 3 and 4. Then the meters would stop after about 30 seconds. Cindy would ask the next question and the same thing would happen. The temp in the room started to rise during the questions. We took digital pictures during this period also with Cindy’s digital camera.

The ending temp reading in the room was 70 degrees.

ROOM # 2 BACK OFFICE/BACK BEDROOM

We set up 3 EMF meters in this room. 1 was located on a stack of papers near the computer table, 1 was located by the window, and 1 was located by the door leading out to the hallway. Temp reading was 74 degrees.

When we started the silent portion of the recording, we were all seated quietly. A few minutes into this I heard a woman’s voice. I looked at Kim and Cindy and realized that they had heard it too. I could hear her words, but I only made out the word “WHY”. I heard that clearly. The EMF meters were going off simultaneously once again in this room. The readings were between 4 and 5. The temp rose to 75 degrees. We then went to the questions and once again the EMF meters would start and stop together.

Then temp at the end was 72 degrees.

ROOM # 3 MIDDLE OFFICE/MIDDLE BEDROOM

We had 2 EMF meters located in this room. 1 was located by the rear door connecting to the master bedroom, and 1 was located by the door leading to the hallway. We had readings from 2 ½ to 5, but these were all located near equipment that might be giving off enough energy to cause these readings. The recordings and questions were done with very little EMF readings.

AREA # 4 HALLWAY

We spread out in the long hallway. I was located in front of the back office, Cindy was in the middle by the 2 steps, and Kim was located in front of the master bedroom. Kim had a long range listening device and an EMF meter. Cindy had the recorder and mic, and I had an EMF meter along with the digital camera. I was getting EMF readings of 3 – 4…pretty steady from the floor up to around 4 feet. Temp. was 72 degrees. I took some digital camera shots.

REPORT FOR INVESTIGATION

PRIVATE RESIDENCE — WEST CHESTER, PA

05.12.06


PRESENT: MARK, KAT, CAROL, AND KIM


START TIME: 9:00PM


I was assigned to investigate the upstairs office with Mark. We had several pieces of equipment with us.

EMF meter
ELF meter
Digital therm-w. sensor
Digital mini camcorder
Digital still camera
Listening device
Walkie Talkie

After taking base readings with the EMF and ELF meters, we sat at opposite ends of the room. I had a digital camera to take stills and I had a ELF meter to sweep the room from time to time. Mark set up a digital camcorder and had a listening device with headphones. After several minutes I heard voices (which Mark confirmed), but we couldn’t say if they were inside or coming from outside of the house. I took several pictures during this investigation throughout the room. I then heard heavy footsteps at the top of the stairs and on the landing just outside of the office we were in. We both acknowledged that we were hearing them and listened until they stopped. Mark used the walkie talkie to contact Kat and Kim downstairs and asked if anyone had come upstairs. They had not and they also added that the dog and cats were downstairs also. We continued with our EVP work and then Mark asked a series of questions, followed by a minute of silence.

We then moved out of the office and into the upstairs hallway. Mark set up the thermometer and also set up a strobe light about ½ way between us. I positioned myself in front of the master bedroom with my digital camera and an EMF meter. I walked through the hallway to take a base reading. I was getting a high reading (3.5 - 4) near the mirror in the hall and also along the hallway leading back to the bedroom. The reading was about chest high to the ground. With lights out and the strobe light going, Mark asked me to take a series of 10 pictures, which I did. We sat quietly in the hallway for awhile. My meter would go off and on around me. We then moved downstairs to join Kat and Kim.
 

Research Study #1

After joining Kat and Kim downstairs in the living room, we set up to try the pendulum scrying. Mark had the video feedback loop going along with necromatrix (white noise generator). Kat lead the pendulum investigation. Myself, Kim, and Mark sat opposite her. As she began, we each stated our names. Kat demonstrated how the pendulum worked and how she would ask questions and the different responses that it could make. She showed us the charts (which included the alphabet and numbers). She 1st asked is there was someone present. The pendulum circled clockwise to signify a yes answer. We then asked a series of questions and receiving answers each time. This was a male, 74 years old, Turkish, a printer, worked for a company on Union St. In West Chester. We asked if he could rap or knock on something and I heard a knock coming from the dining room. We asked for other signs and I heard something fall in the kitchen.

We then realized that the “male” was gone and someone else had entered and wanted to communicate. We asked questions and each time received answers. This was a female. Very strong. “She” had a message for Mark. We asked is she was wearing perfume and the answer was yes. We then asked if we could smell it. The answer was yes, and within seconds, we all smelled a very light floral scent. We finished soon afterwards.

The investigation ended 12:30 am.

VALLEY FORGE NATIONAL PARK

PRELIMINARY REPORT



DATE: SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 2006

INVESTIGATORS: CAROL STARR & KIM RITCHIE

TIME THERE: 2:00PM UNTIL 4:30PM

EQUIPMENT USED: THERMOMETER, EMF METER, DIGITAL CAMERA, 35 MM CAMERA, HI 8 VIDEO CAMERA

OUR 1ST STOP IN THE PARK WAS AT GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON’S HEADQUARTERS. WE WALKED AROUND THE AREA USING THE EMF DETECTORS AND TAKING PHOTOS WITH BOTH DIGITAL AND 35 MM. WE WENT INTO THE HEADQUARTERS AND WAS GREETED BY A COSTUMED GUIDE. SHE WELCOMED US INTO GEN. WASHINGTON’S HEADQUARTERS AND TOLD US THAT THE HOUSE WAS BUILT PRIOR TO 1776 AND THE ONLY ORIGINAL PARTS OF THE HOUSE WERE THE HOUSE ITSELF, THE WOOD FLOORS IN THE ROOMS, AND THE STAIRCASE BANNISTERS. WE ASKED HER IF SHE HAD HAD ANY PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES AND SHE SAID THAT SHE HADN’T HAD ANY HERSELF, BUT TOLD US ABOUT ONE OF THE MALE GUIDES. HE WAS CHANGING INTO HIS COSTUME AND FELT HANDS ADJUSTING HIS UNIFORM. HE TURNED TO THANK ONE OF THE OTHER GUIDES AND FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS ALONE IN THE ROOM.

WE TOURED THROUGH THE HEADQUARTERS AND TOOK PICTURES AND EMF READINGS. THE METERS WERE VERY QUIET AND REGISTERED NEAR 0. ON THE 2ND FLOOR NEAR ONE OF THE FRONT BEDROOMS I WITNESSED A QUICK FLASH OF LIGHT THAT OCCURRED NEAR THE BACK WALL OF THE BEDROOM, OVER KIM’S LEFT SHOULDER. I ASKED IF SHE HAD TAKEN A PICTURE, BUT WE BOTH LOOKED DOWN TO SEE OUR CAMERAS BY OUR SIDES. WE ALSO WAITED TO SEE IF MAYBE IT HAD BEEN A LIGHTNING STRIKE, BUT DIDN’T HEAR ANY THUNDER. KIM ALSO STATED THAT SHE SAW A FLASH OUT OF THE CORNER OF HER EYE. NOTHING NOTED IN ANY OF THE PHOTOS.

WE LEFT THE HEADQUARTERS AND WALKED THE PATH NEXT TO THE TRAIN STATION AND A FEW RESTORED LOG CABINS. WE DIDN’T GET ANY READINGS AT ALL DURING THE WALK BACK TO THE VEHICLE.

WE THEN DROVE OVER TO THE VALLEY FORGE MEMORIAL CHAPEL. WE PARKED NEAR THE CHAPEL AND GOT OUT TO WALK AROUND THE PARKING LOT. WE EACH HAD EMF METERS, DIGITAL CAMERA, AND 35 MM CAMERA. AS WE WALKED AROUND THE LOT IN FRONT OF THE CHAPEL, OUR EMF METERS REGISTERED BETWEEN A 2 AND 5.5. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS, AND VISIBLE ELECTRICAL SOURCES. THERE ARE ALSO 2 CANNON IN FRONT OF THE CHAPEL. THE EMF READING ALONG THE CANNON RANGED FROM 2 – 5. THE BASE OF THE CANNON REGISTERED 0. KIM THEN EXCHANGED HER 35 MM CAMERA FOR HER SONY HI 8 VIDEO RECORDER AND WE PROCEEDED TO WALK THROUGH WITH MYSELF DOING THE EMF READINGS, WHILE SHE VIDEO TAPED IT. WE WALKED AROUND THE PARKING LOT ONCE AGAIN. THE READINGS WERE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS THE 1ST TIME WITH SOME VARIANCES IN CERTAIN PLACES. WE THEN ENTERED ONE OF THE ALCOVES AND HALLWAY THAT RUNS NEXT TO THE CHAPEL. THE EMF READINGS WERE A STEADY 3 – 4 ALONG THE HALLWAY TO ABOUT 6 FEET HIGH. WE ENTERED A BELL TOWER AND WALKED AROUND IN THERE. WE GOT SPORADIC READINGS THROUGHOUT THE TOWER. WE THEN PROCEEDED INTO THE CHAPEL ITSELF. WE COULDN’T ENTER THE ALTER AREA AT ALL (BLOCKED BY A CHAIN). WE STARTED TO GO DOWN THE CENTER AISLE AND GOT AN EMF READING ON THE 4TH PEW. IT READ A 4 ON THE METER. WE CONTINUED DOWN THE ENTIRE AISLE AND GOT A 0 ON THE METER THE WHOLE WAY DOWN AND BACK UP. WHEN WE REACHED THE 4TH PEW AGAIN, THE METER WENT UP TO A 4. WE EXAMINED THE AREA AROUND IT AND FOUND NOTHING ARTIFICIAL AT ALL. ON THE FLOOR GOING DOWN THE CENTER OF THE AISLE, THERE WERE LARGE BRASS PLACQUES. ALL OF THEM REGISTERED A 0 EXCEPT THE 1 CLOSEST TO THE FRONT. WE GOT READINGS OF 3 – 4 ON THE ENDS OF THAT ONE. WE ALSO GOT HIGH READINGS IN THE FRONT PEW. I PUT THE METER ON THE BIBLES THAT WERE LAID THERE AND GOT A 0, BUT WHEN I PUT THE METER ON THE SAME BIBLES ON THE ACTUAL PAGES, I GOT A 4. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, WHEN WE WERE WALKING TOWARDS THE SIDE OF THE CHAPEL, MY METER WENT OFF AND WE FELT A SLIGHT COOL BREEZE GO THROUGH. THEN THE METER WENT BACK TO A 0. WE THEN LEFT THE CHAPEL AND WALKED AROUND THE BACK AND GOT THE CAR AND DROVE DOWN INTO THE CEMETARY LOCATED BEHIND THE CHAPEL. WE STOPPED A FEW TIMES AND WALKED AROUND WITH OUR METERS, BUT DIDN’T GET ANY READINGS AT ALL. WE LEFT THE PARK AROUND 4:30PM

Interviews with previous tenants have independently corroborated activity reported by current residences. Interviews were with 2 separate previous tenants going back over the last 10 years.

          The house was built in the 1860's and the background and history of the previous owners and tenants are still being investigated.

Protocols for setting up and taking base readings:

          A grid/map was made as a floor plan of the house on each floor. The grid/map was used in notating the location of appliances, electrical outlets, light switches, furniture, windows, doorways and stairways. Base readings were taken with EMF detectors, ELF detectors, Geiger counter and digital thermometer. Any artificial field was notated on the map with readings that were measured. The fields  were notated and measured for areas affected. 

Equipment used during the investigation:

1 Cell Sensor EMF detector. 2 ELF Zone meters. 1 V-717 Geiger Counter. 1 digital thermometer w/external probe. 1 Sony nightshot Digi camcorder. 1 Sony 5.0 mega pixel night shot still camera, 1 laptop computer, 1 EV RE20 condenser microphone.

See some of our photos from our current investigation.
