INVESTIGATION REPORT
PRIVATE HOME MICHIGAN 2003
WEATHER= CLOUDY 74F, MOON PHASE= WAXING CRESCENT # OF INVESTIGATORS= 4
THE HOME OWNER REPORTS MANY STRANGE OCCURRENCES IN THE HOUSE, WHICH IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD. THESE INCLUDE: SHADOW FIGURES, APPLIANCES TURNING THEMSELVES ON, SMELLING SMOKE FOR NO REASON, A FOUL ODOR IN ONE ROOM, AND MUSIC COMING FROM THE BASEMENT WHEN NO ONE IS DOWN THERE. ALTHOUGH NO UNUSUAL EMF READINGS WERE FOUND IN THE HOME, WE DID HAVE AN INTERESTING PHENOMENON OCCUR DURING THE INVESTIGATION. IT INVOLVES OUR AUDIO TAPE. DETAILS FOLLOW:
THE AUDIO RECORDER WAS PLACED IN THE BASEMENT AT 8:50 PM. THIS IS NOTED ON THE TAPE. AT EXACTLY 10:25 PM, THE RECORDER WAS TURNED OFF, WITH AN END NOT PLACED ON TAPE ANNOUNCING THE TIME AGAIN.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THE RECORDING:
1. NO ONE WENT INTO THE BASEMENT BETWEEN THE 2 TIMES STATED ON THE TAPE.
2. THE AUDIO TAPE CONTAINS NO NOISE OF ANYONE GOING DOWNSTAIRS (FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRWAY ARE EASY TO IDENTIFY).
3. THERE ARE SOUNDS THROUGHOUT THE RECORDING OF SOMEONE MOVING THINGS AROUND IN THE BASEMENT, VERY CLOSE TO THE RECORDER. THESE SOUNDS INCLUDE FOOTSTEPS, BANGING, AND WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE ARRANGING OF ITEMS.
4. NO VOICES OR MUSIC IS HEARD ON THE TAPE, EXCEPT OCCASIONALLY OUR VOICES AS WE PASSED BY THE STAIRWAY WHILE UPSTAIRS. THESE ARE FAINT AND OBVIOUSLY FROM A DISTANCE.
5. THERE IS NO NOISE ON THE TAPE OF ANYONE TOUCHING THE RECORDER. THIS IS ALSO OBVIOUS, BY COMPARISON OF WHAT CAN BE HEARD AT THE TIME WHEN THE RECORDER WAS FIRST PLACED.
6. THIS IS THE STRANGE PART!
THE MICRO-CASSETTE TAPE USED WAS A 90 MINUTE TAPE (45 MINUTES ON EACH SIDE). THE RECORDER WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN I WENT DOWNSTAIRS AT 10:25 TO RETRIEVE IT. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF. THIS CAN BE HEARD ON THE TAPE, ALONG WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TIME.
1 HOUR & 35 MINUTES HAD PASSED, ALL RECORDED ON ONE 45MINUTE SIDE OF THE TAPE! AFTER LISTENING TO THE TAPE, THE RECORDING IS 41 MINUTES LONG, YET THE TAPE HAD NOT BEEN STOPPED.
WE HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS.

CONCLUSIONS: WE CAPTURED SOME QUESTIONABLE ANOMALIES AT THIS SITE. I CANNOT SAY CONCLUSIVELY THAT IT IS HAUNTED, BUT WE HOPE FOR A RETURN VISIT ONE DAY FOR FURTHER RESEARCH. |

UPDATE: 7/28/03
THE HOMEOWNER DECIDED TO TRY TAPE-RECORDING IN THE BASEMENT AS WELL. SHE PLACED HER RECORDER, ANNOUNCED THE TIME ON TAPE, AND LEFT. WHEN SHE CAME BACK ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER, THE TAPE WAS STILL RUNNING, SO SHE SHUT IT OFF. WHEN LISTENING TO IT, SHE DISCOVERED IT HAD ONLY RECORDED HER ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TIME, AND NOTHING MORE-EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN SHE RETRIEVED IT AFTER 45 MINUTES!
