This case comes to us from the coastal region of North Carolina. Some of the claims of activity that the client reported were seeing black shadows, being choked, slapped, as well as hearing banging and scratching on the walls.

We arrived at the home to conduct the investigation on March 21, 2009 at approximately 7:30pm. Upon our arrival we immediately began to set up the equipment around the home. (See Tech Manager Notes for placement) Earlier that afternoon, we took a tour of the home with the client and other family members to be shown where the activity had been taking place. After the tour we proceeded to the hotel to check-in and prepare for that night’s investigation. Once set up was complete and we were ready to begin the investigation, the family left the home for the night with the exception of one person.

We began by conducting an EVP session in the front living room of the home. While Anne, Christopher, David, and the client were in the front living room David heard what he thought was a loud bang coming from the back of the house. Upon investigation, nothing was found out of the ordinary. They returned to the living room where they stayed for another 20 minutes conducting more EVP work.

Anne and David then separated from the others to conduct some EVP sessions in the back bedrooms. This is where most of the activity in the home was occurring so they concentrated on those rooms most of the night. While Anne and David were in one bedroom Anne became very cold, to the point of shivering. At the same time, David heard what he thought to be knocking. After a few more minutes Anne and David moved to the other bedroom. It was this bedroom in which most of the activity had been reported. While Anne and David were in this room they both thought they heard more whispering but could not pinpoint where it was coming from. (This would turn out to be a significant personal experience as we caught several EVP’s of whispered conversations, one even occurring over us.) While Anne and David were trying to find the source of the whispering they both thought they saw the master bedroom door open some on its own. They both went to investigate but after checking found nothing that would have caused it to move. (It’s important to note that the heat/air was turned completely off in the home.)

Christopher and the client also reported knocking noises coming from above then in the attic. After taking a short break to regroup and check on the equipment the team headed back to the living room to begin mild provocation. (David received permission from the client to use Religious Provocation if necessary.) While the team was in the living room provoking, the motion sensor in the bedroom was triggered. Upon investigation nothing was found to have been moved or disturbed.

While the team was in the hallway David saw what appeared to be a light of some kind shoot from one bedroom to another. It is possible that it was the lights of a passing car outside so it can not be labeled paranormal.

The team then returned to the living room to finish conducting the provocation session only to have the sensor triggered one more time in the bedroom. At this point, David decided to go ahead and start using Religious Provocation in the bedrooms and the rest of the house. David also performed a binding ceremony while doing the provocation. While this was being done Anne thought she heard whispering while they were in the kitchen. No one else heard this but it was captured on audio. Once the provocation was finished in the main parts of the home David and Anne moved up into the attic to conduct a short session there before wrapping the investigation for the night.
