Evidence Captured

 

Often, when my mom and I would discuss the paranormal activity in the house, she would mention that she thought it occurred in cycles. That is, several things would happen for a few weeks, then it would quiet down for awhile and then start up again. This went on for many many years. And still does.

In hindsight, I doubt the “cycle” of activity is technically true and it’s probably more of a case of we, the living, not noticing every haunted event that happens. This can be for a multitude of reasons such as: we aren’t paying attention all the time, we aren’t home all the time, we aren’t in the same room or within earshot when things happen, just to name a few reasons. On the other hand, no place is haunted every minute of every day. Ghosts do what they want when they want. There is no schedule. It is random. They come and go.

Having said that, as I mentioned on a previous post, I am not noticing paranormal activity in the house at the rate I used to, most likely due to the fact that I am now home  less often. I am going to the office part time now. So while it has been quieter, ghost-wise, lately some very interesting things have happened within the last few weeks.

Also as previously mentioned, I have become acquainted with a team of local paranormal investigators. They have done a 3 part investigation at our house and shared some of their findings with us. In the near future, I will be provided with all the investigation details once they wrap it all up. This was purely done out of curiosity on my part, to see what could be captured by people with the proper equipment who know what they are doing. Of course we know the house is haunted but obtaining some video or audio footage from the afterlife was my goal. My ghosts did not disappoint on the occasions the team had visited. A future blog post will entail everything encompassing the entire investigation so stay tuned for that.

However, I do want to provide a peek into what happened when Nova Paranormal Research (Tom and Isaiah) had visited.

I want to preface this by saying it is one thing to know your house is haunted but very difficult to nail down some concrete evidence of a haunting. It is difficult because ghosts aren’t prone to posing for pictures. And if you hear one, by the time you get something to record with, the activity may very well be over. I have done it a few times in the past through photography and an accidental audio recording and the more of that you have, the closer you are to connecting with the afterlife and the closer you are to contributing to solving one of life’s greatest mysteries: what happens to us after we die? There are people who say there are no such things as ghosts, spirit activity, or an afterlife. You may be one of them. I know people who have SEEN ghosts who still shrug it off.

There is a high probability that the spirit world exists in a different realm or dimension. Why would it exist, you ask? What makes you think it wouldn’t exist, I ask.

Nova Paranormal Research investigated the house in September, October and November.

On the first visit, my pantry proved to be one of the hotspots for picking up weird things. Later when they reviewed their recordings, a conversation could be heard in the pantry between two people. Those present that night were not in the pantry during the recordings. Tom and Isaiah presented the audio recording to me on their return visit.

It is a very clear, obvious conversation, where a young female voice says, “I am done with my food.” Immediately following that, an older female voice replies to her with one word; “Good”.

Hearing a spirit say something is exciting to say the least. I’ve experienced it several times in my life. But to hear a spirit say something and then it’s followed by a response from another spirit is quite something. This is an actual conversation happening between these two. Was it residual, like a playback of a previous day that is imprinted in time when they were alive? Or was it happening the night of the investigation? Either way, that’s some good solid proof of a conversation between two ghosts.

On the third visit, the paranormal team picked up more pantry talk. A camera was rolling, capturing the kitchen, pantry and part of the dining room area. A voice recorder was also on. Some attendees that evening were upstairs doing the investigative thing while myself, Shaun and Tom (the Pro) were in the kitchen. All was quiet. Super quiet. We even removed the batteries from all the ticking clocks in the house to keep everything silent while recording.

Sitting close to the pantry, Tom asked a few questions in that direction, such as who is around, what is your name, that sort of thing in the hopes of getting a response. Imagine our surprise when his final question, How old are you?  was actually answered by some unseen spirit/ghost/entity in the pantry.

A female voice answered: “80”.

Tom looked at me and asked, “Did you just hear that?”

I told him I most definitely did. Shaun also heard it.

We paused everything and played back the audio from the voice recorder, multiple times actually. “80” was the answer over and over.

So now we had a spirit communicating directly with us. A question was asked, and she answered it. Many many times the voices that come through on an EVP recording can only be heard during playback of the audio. It is highly unusual to hear it like you would if you were talking to a live person.

Again, we were pretty excited to have captured this. I tried to think which female member lived to the age of 80 in my house. My mother was 92, my grandmother was 91. The next day, I whipped out the family tree details and discovered my great-great- grandmother, Catherine (Kate) died from a heart attack here in the house when she was 80.

The pantry has had a multitude of paranormal events in it over the years. In 2016, I had written a blog post discussing these. You can read about it here:

The Pantry

 

Not mentioned on that post but also a significant event, quite a few years ago, my mother had several guests over. The kitchen was usually the gathering place, as it was that day. The pantry is just off the kitchen. During this get together, those facing the pantry looked on in bewilderment as a coffee cup hanging on a hook in the pantry suddenly was no longer on the hook and was floating in mid-air for an astonishing amount of time before dropping to the floor.

Another incident I had mentioned on another post last year was the mysterious giant crashing sound I heard one evening that seemed to come from either the kitchen or pantry. I was in the living room but went to investigate what sounded exactly like every one of my pots and pans crashing to the floor. They all sit very securely on solid shelves in the pantry. I don’t have any in the kitchen. I looked around all the areas but could find nothing out of place.

I still can’t say that one room or area of our house is more haunted than the rest. Unexplained things seem to happen all over. However, the pantry has seen its fair share of paranormal activity.

I am very much looking forward to getting the rest of the investigation results. There could be more voices and conversations—I do not know yet. Lots of other things were also captured during the 3 times Tom and Isaiah and their impressive equipment were here. I will relay it all to you in the near future.

This blog post is just a reminder; some houses have ghosts. Yours may not but mine does. If recorded voices of spirit conversations and flat out asking a ghost a question and it giving you the answer doesn’t convince you, maybe you’ll change your mind when I report on the rest of the investigation.

I am not trying to convince you. You can believe in whatever you want. Just know that my house has turned a few skeptics into believers and has caused others to think twice about coming to visit or heaven forbid---spend the night.
