Our latest investigation was conducted in November of this year. We were asked to come and investigate a home with claims of some incredible activity. Our homeowners stated that they believe there to be an entity of a young boy they call Jack residing in their home with them. Some of the activity reported includes radios turning on and off by themselves, the water faucet being turned on by itself, cabinet doors in the kitchen opening and closing and the bed moving while the homeowners are sleeping in it. Homeowner “M” is retired and occupies her time training dogs and doing freelance writing while her spouse “B” is actively employed outside of the home. Both occupants states that the occurrences are not limited to particular hour of the day or night but seem to be very sporadic and happen at all times. The homeowners were unable to pinpoint an triggering events that may have caused the alleged paranormal activity but state “that there has always been something happening all the time”. Home owner “M” has had brushes with the paranormal in the past beginning when she was a small child. Both of the occupants in this home deny feeling afraid of the experiences that they have had or feel that there is any malcontent towards them. They are simply looking for confirmation that something is occurring.

We began our investigation on a cool autumn night, the skies were clear, with low humidity and a median temperature around 60 degrees. We set up IR cameras in the master bedroom, in the kitchen and outside near the capped well just outside the back door. We used digital video and digital still cameras randomly throughout the home and surrounding grounds. The homeowners remained present throughout our investigation which proved to be difficult due the constant interference from the television being watched in the living room. This residence is also located in a business district where the property is flanked by a local restaurant on one side and a detention center on another. As we began our investigation the homeowners seemed to remember more information surrounding the history of the home. We were told that the original occupant of the home died inside of the home from cancer. We were told that she had become terminally ill and was being cared for by hospice staff and by all reports there was nothing traumatic or unusual about her death. Homeowner “M” also then reported to us that the well in the back yard was filled in many years ago prior to her purchase of the property and that she and her husband uncapped the well just to look and then noticed odd behavior from the animal outside. None of the videos shot inside or outside out the home revealed any paranormal activity. We did capture a few orbs that initially we were ready to dismiss as artifact until after reviewing the pictures our guest investigator Rita pulled one photo aside. This photo was taken in the master bedroom The only investigators in the home at this time were Rita and myself. At one point we placed a toy car on the bed and asked “Jack” to move the car or play with it and Rita told me she felt something behind her. At this point I shot a digital picture of Rita and in the image behind her you can clearly see an orb. The rest of the investigation proceeded uneventfully with the only personal expiriences coming from “M” who while participating in an EVP session with Rita, Jane and myself, developed a stinging, burning sensation to her lower left leg. There was no visible mark and the sensation passed as soon as she left the room. We continued to communicate with Jack or whomever may have been present with no results. We concluded our investigation shortly after 1am due to interference from external sources we were unable to control and left for home. Around 2am that same morning “M” called very upset and crying stating “that Cody (the outside dog) was barking and behaving very erratic so she went outside and took a few pictures and saw a bright light near the dog pen and well area”. I assured “M” that she reported feeling no malice or sense of intent to harm her or her spouse in the past so we as a group saw no reason to feel afraid at this time. I also told “M” that I would call or even come back in the morning to take another look around. My follow up call later that morning revealed a much calmer client. “M” forwarded the photos to me for review.

It took us 2 weeks to review and discuss the images and EVP recordings. And after carefull thought and anaylsis we had to dismiss the EVP recordings. We felt that due to the close proximetry of the businesses we could not definitively call these EVP’s genuine. So other than the few orbs we had no other evidence to present. We offered to come back and repeat the investigation if the homeowners would agree to allow us to conduct the investigation alone, to attempt to minimize external interferences. Our offer was declined. “M” states that she “feels as though she received the confirmation she was looking for and did not want to disrupt things any further”. As always “M” was reassured that we would gladly come back or refer her to another group should she change her mind.

This investigation turned out to be very challenging for us. Not only were we traveling a fair distance but we were also bringing along a new investigator. So we all packed up Pop, Pami, Josh, myself and our new friend Brant and convoyed to Centerville. When we were contacted by this family they stated that there had been minor activity in the home for years. Everyone had heard footsteps, felt as though they were being watched from time to time or even seen the occasional shadow from the corner of their eye. Then things began to change, a few months before they contacted us the wife claims to have been touched by their "ghost" and then the granddaughter also said that she had been touched. This seemed to be a little disturbing to the family and they wanted to find out the intentions of this "ghost".

When we arrived in Centerville we sat down with all the members of the family who live in the home and listened to each of their experiences. The patriarch of our family says that he has heard a female call his name on many different occasions but has never been touched or felt threatened. His wife says that she frequently feels as though someone is watching her while she is in the kitchen. Their granddaughter says that in addition to being touched she has seen the horrible image of blue feet swinging in the front office. Shortly after we were given a tour of the home and showed where activity seemed to frequent. While walking in a hallway between the main living room and the granddaughters bedroom 2 members of our team heard a growling noise. We decided that our remote IR camera needed to be set up in this space. We quickly got video cameras in the kitchen, the main living room, the front foyer and into the office. We set up our monitor for the IR camera outside in the front yard so that it could be manned at all times.

When the investigation began we split into pairs, 1 pair went into the house and began taking digital still photos while another pair walked the perimeter of the property taking more photos and we had a team member watching the IR video. We all rotated in and out of the house. Several of us had some very interesting personal experiences. We all saw several orbs in motion on the IR camera, 2 of us heard the growl in the house, and while out watching the IR monitor with Josh and Pami I distinctly heard a nondescript male voice call my name. I didn’t think much about it because the 3 of us had been talking and then out of no where I heard again “hey Lee” so thinking that it had been Brant or Pop calling me from the house I jumped up and ran toward the house. I suddenly realized that no one had called my name and I as walked back to the table Pami and Josh asked me what was going on, and why I had run to the house. So I explained what I had heard they both denied hearing anything and seemed puzzled by my actions. We rotated teams again Brant and Pop manned the outside monitor and Pami, Josh and myself went back in the house we were able to get some interesting pictures. We were in the middle of doing some EVP work when we heard a rattling noise similar to a teacup on a saucer coming from the living room. We all ran down the hall to see if we could document the noise or find the source when we were met by the homeowner asking us if we were done yet. Our investigation ended there.

Review of the evidence we collected yielded the standard dust orbs and a few out of focus pics, 2 photos of a mist in the kitchen area and in the front area. There is a dark shadow covering the image of 1 of our members while in the granddaughters room and an elongated streak of white also in the granddaughters room. On EVP we recorded a distinct male voice saying, "I don't like this," "no," "stop," and the growl. As with all investigations there is some data gathered than can easily be debunked. Some of our photos turned out this way. We feel as a group that the photos of the mists and the shadow are some form of paranormal phenomena. As far as the EVP's go all members of our team were accounted for or identified on each recording so we feel that our recordings are genuine. We revealed our findings to the homeowners a few weeks later and were able to meet more of the family who were eager to share their stories with us. Everyone seemed satisfied with our results. We as a group do not feel as though anything harmful or malicious resides in the home with the family but we do feel as though the family needs to make peace with their house guest and stay a strong and united family making their wishes known. The family agreed and has made plans to have their home blessed by a priest. Documented by Lee CTPS investigator.

Update on Centerville -

We recently got in touch with our family in Centerville to see how everyone was doing after the investigation. Our family reports very little in the way of occurrences. We were told that things seem to have calmed down a bit. There are no more reports of being touched or bothered by the presence they felt in their home. Life seems to be getting back to a more normal path for these folks. We are sure glad to hear that they are feeling more comfortable in their home.

Over the summer we conducted an investigation at a hospital that had recently become vacant. This was going to be a big job requiring the whole team. We were also fortunate to have the founder of G.H.O.S.T. with us to help cover this enormous group of buildings.

The night started with a tour of the facility by one of the security officers, who was able to give quite a bit of history and share some personal experiences with us. Then came the task of equipment setup. we used everything in our arsenal. IR cameras down hallways and in patient rooms. We set up lasers and motion sensors in hopes of capturing some evidence of the many apparitions that staff have claimed to see. After placing all the equipment we broke into teams of 2 – 4 people and began sweeping the hospital for signs of the paranormal. We covered every inch of the place from the furnace room in the basement, to the meeting rooms on the top floor.

As one might imagine there were many personal experiences had by most of the investigators. While down in the furnace room conducting an EVP session the pipes began to make a groaning sound. I know that doesn’t seem to unusual but it was almost like the groans would come in response to the questions being asked. Rita felt the chain of her cross being lifted and a very cold sensation on her neck. We later heard on one of the camera’s audio something shuffling around in that same area. We did not however get anything on film except a few dust orbs. Two of our investigators Dana and Ashley heard laughter up on the children’s floor. There was the flush of a toilet in a patient room on the 7th floor. This particular room seemed to be one of the most reported places for paranormal activity. According to Chris (our guide) the staff would report their patients becoming quite upset saying that there was a man in their room. Asking the nursing staff to make the man go away, that he wouldn’t let them sleep. There were also reports of the bibles being opened to the same passage every time someone went into that room page 230 Acts 20, 21. There was the sound of music caught on a digital voice recorder from the ICU. This music was later validated by chance when talking to a former employee who worked in that ICU and remembered a particular patient who lay unconscious for days and the spouse would play the same song over and over in hopes that it would be heard. The big find during this long night of investigating had to be the apparitions that was video tapped in one of the operating suites. Chris was investigating with Tim (founder – GHOST) in one of the operating suites after claims from myself that I had heard someone or something moving around in that area. Neither one of them had any idea what they had documented until days later all of the video had been watched. Needless to say we were all blown away by what we had seen.

Our findings were presented to the management of this building for their interpretation and at their request the name and location of their facility is to remain confidential.

This investigation brought many challenges with it. First of all we had a guest investigator with us and secondly this investigation was conducted outside. Our guest is a novice to the paranormal realm with several personal experiences that have spanned her lifetime, but until Kempner she has never participated in any sort of paranormal investigation. We will refer to our guest as “J”. Moving on to the family in Kempner who consist of several adults both male and female and a visiting 2 year old female. The claims made by our family are that they feel an uncomfortable presence while outside on the back patio of their home. They also state that this presence has been known to move objects and has been visualized by the 2 year old child. Obviously the child was frightened and has asked the “bad man” to go away. Understandably it was imperative that we act on this case quickly, whether we were able to prove the families claims or dispel their fears the child needed assurance and comfort.

The night of our investigation was difficult to say the least the weather was changing and the wind was picking up. This made the tedium of analyzing video tape and digital sound and images more of a chore. We started by setting up both of the IR cameras on opposite ends of the yard. We set one up to record images of a shed where resident “M” says he feels a heavy oppressive sensation. The second camera we set up on the end of the patio. This is the area that Pami and Josh will do all of the EVP work with the occupants of the home. Something very interesting happened while we setting up equipment and checking camera angles, the cable that feeds the images from the IR camera back to our laptop somehow became disconnected. This seems far fetched I know but one minute we were receiving images on the laptop to calibrate and then there were no images. While tracing down the problem we discovered that the cables had been disconnected. Occupant “K” states that “he doesn’t want you here”. We are not going to be so easily swayed, so we continued to set up equipment and get base line reading for temperature and EMF. We got some very high EMF readings by the shed and by the corner of the yard on the opposite side. Both places the homeowners claim to be very uncomfortable.

The average temperature that night was between 68 and 75 degrees and as I noted before the wind was really blowing. Pami and Josh sat down at the table on the porch with homeowners “M and K” as well as two other female adults and began their Evp session. Pop as usual manned the laptop, the IR cameras and his own still digital camera. I took our guest “J” and began to walk the property taking digital still photos. Upon initial review of my digital images and “J’s” images we caught many images of orbs, imagine that being outside in the wind. But there were a few that actually cannot be explained as dust as so many investigators are so quick to do. There is one orb image in particular that seems to be floating just above occupant “M’s” left shoulder while we are down at the back end of the property. This orb is green in appearance, and when this photo was taken “M” actually told us to shoot the picture at that moment because the spirit was there with him. While on the patio with Pami and Josh, multiple attempts were made to communicate with the spirit. We did not have much luck at first, but after several hours of trying we were able to get some compelling EVP’s. I was also able to get a photo of an orb that was so bright that it almost appears to be a solid image in the photo. And again I was directed by both of the homeowners to shoot in that specific location at that specific time. This orb is centered between occupant “K” and “M”. The EVP’s we recorded are fascinating. There is one particularly clear one that is male stating “I want to go home”, another that states “f__k you”, one that sounds almost like two women and then there is one that sounds as if its may be a child. We were also able to record a few yes’s and no’s. Throughout the night our homeowners expressed their concerns and distress over the presence of this spirit or spirits. Their fears seemed to be more from why the spirit is there and why does it need to communicate with them, since all they want is to have it/them go away.

We encouraged the homeowners to ask the spirits to leave, to tell them that it is time to move on. After several hours we concluded our investigation and drove back to Waco. All the evidence was sifted through and only the genuine photos and EVP were reveled to the homeowners. When questioned about the activity around their home we were told that all the family members are no longer afraid and there is no longer the oppressive feeling they had felt before. As with all investigations our clients are told that the calm feelings may only be temporary and that we will be in touch to monitor the situation. All in all a positive outcome.

Several months ago we at Central Texas Paranormal Society participated in an investigation with a few members of another paranormal group. I have debated whether or not to post this investigation due to the claims of activity and the ages of the persons involved and our inability to provide resolution. This investigation proved to be difficult. Was it the claims of activity and the children involved? Or was it the addition of unfamiliar investigators and the presence of other unstable factors that may influence the impressions of the homeowners and investigators alike. We approached the Killeen investigation like any other. There were several hours of research and multiple interviews with the homeowner and occupants in attempts to gather as much information as possible. Much of this information cannot be shared.

The actual investigation took place on a clear, mild Saturday evening in a private residence near Ft. Hood. The occupants consisted of a married couple, their children ranging in age from 6 to 13. This family has also been subjected to some horrendous personal tragedy that may or may not have played a role in how they perceive their experiences now. As researchers we attempt to keep our personal feelings out of our investigations, but when kids are involved the tendency is there to be a little overzealous. There was a menacing presence in that home. Are we able to say 100% that this presence was paranormal? No we cannot, but we did capture some unusual EVP that suggest an intelligent entity (tapping on walls in response to questions) and some very disturbing personal experiences. There was a bedroom located in the back of the house that belonged to one of the smaller children and at times that room became so cold that the hair on your arms and on the back of your neck would stand up. You could also feel heaviness when sitting in that room. As far as capturing photographic or video evidence we were able to capture a few photos with some very pale orbs in them and a few photos with a peculiar shadow in them. Also, three of our investigators heard foot falls in the attic although there isnt room for someone to walk upright. We attempted a blessing of the home using sage and a prayer. With the homeowner and her oldest child we went from room to room reciting a prayer, asking whatever presence may have been there to leave. When we left the overall feeling in the home seemed to have changed. It seemed to have lightened. The home felt peaceful.

As always we instructed the homeowner that it would take several days to review the data collected and to discuss our findings before we were able to sit down and reveal what we did or did not find. The homeowners were also advised to have the home blessed by clergy in order to maintain positive energy. We provided our clients with copies of the EVP and of all the photos containing anonymous images. However, our client seemed disappointed that we were unable to capture anything we felt was substantial. It is my personal opinion that there was indeed something odd or possibly paranormal occurring in that home. I am also of the opinion that the people who reside in that home have brought some very negative energy of their own into play. Unfortunately, if there is and intelligent entity in that home I believe that the negative energy has only exacerbated the frightening experiences that this family may have had. Several weeks after our investigation we were contacted again by this family stating that the menacing feeling had returned again. We referred this family to clergy and another group with more paranormal expertise. I feel it is important to state that there were no claims of any physical harm being done to any of the occupants or to any of the animals on the property, only feelings of extreme sadness and oppression. We have not heard from this family again so we are hoping that they were able to find the help we seemingly were unable to provide them.

We received a request for an investigation at the home of a young couple in Lorena. They have lived in their current home for 4 years with their children ranging in age from 21 months to 12 years. The claims of activity that this family has experienced includes interference with electronics in the house, the apparition of an elderly woman with red hair, a black shadow moving from room to room and the talking in sleep of one of their children. There are no claims of harm being done but the clients are concerned about the conversation that their daughter has to an unknown person while she is asleep.

Upon researching the area it was discovered the the original home for this location had been torn down and removed . The home that stands on the property now has been undergoing renovations since the family moved in. There are also reports from friends and neighbors that the red haired woman actually may have been one of the original homeowners from many years ago. We arrived just after dark to meet the family and discuss their concerns and paranormal experiences. After a tour of the home it was time to obtain base line readings of EMF, temperature and humidity through out the house. IR cameras were set up to document the 2 long hallways within the home, and in the childrens' rooms. We divided into teams and began to take pictures and attempt EVP sessions. While conducting an EVP session in the master bedroom one of our investigators started to feel very strange. It is very difficult to explain but she just didn't seem like herself. She became quiet and detached, said that she felt like she didn't want to be in the house any more. We continued to take pictures and attempt contact via voice recorder. It was later discovered the there was an interesting blur of bright white light on a stuffed. Winnie the Pooh Bear. After leaving the room our investigator was able to regain her composure and finish the investigation.

We moved on to one of the bedrooms in the back of the house occupied by 2 of the male children in the house. There was the usual assortment of toys, books, games and posters. On top of the book shelf in this room were some electronic toys all which had remote controls. The batteries were checked and found to be dead. Not enough juice in them to even turn the toys on. These toys were also very dusty indicating that it had been some time since they had been played with. While trying EVP session we heard a mechanical noise that seemed to have come from the kitchen area. Naturally we abandoned the EVP to check out the noise. It was discovered to be a clock that made tractor sounds on the hour. Back to the room we went. This time we heard a noise from somewhere near the book shelf. We placed one of the hand held video cameras on the top bunk and continued with our EVP session. We were unable to capture any thing on the voice recorder but were stunned to be able to document one of the toy dinosaurs activating itself. This activity of the moving dina went on for about 4 minutes, until one of our investigators took it off the shelf. The toy stopped moving. This piece of video is on our website for viewing. The rest of out time at this Lorena residence was uneventful.

The evidence we presented to our homeowners included several pictures including the blur of white light on the stuffed toy, a dim shadow in one of the hallways and the dinosaur video.

The Lorena Saddle Club was an investigation that spanned three separate visits. The Saddle Club is a very run down older building that has some questionable history which we were only able to verify through an elderly gentleman, the current property owner, and public records. The main structure was used as a meeting place for a local riding club. There is also a riding arena with some bleacher seating and bathroom facilities all located approximately 100 yards from the main structure. At the time of our investigations there was no electricity connected to the main structure. We were told that no one will use the building any more because they are no longer comfortable there.

We quickly understood why no one was comfortable there. It had a strangely uncomfortable atmosphere. No wonder it was no longer in use. In its day, it must have been a great place for people who wanted to go horse riding or perhaps make bets on upcoming races but this was no longer the case. The history of the building contained something peculiar and frightening, which led to the building's current state of abandonment. The main structure is a two-story wood frame building. The lower level of the structure consisted of a main room, a kitchen area and a smaller room off to the back of the main room. There were two doorways leading outside from the main room. The main room was filled with theater type seats and a large desk filled with many pictures dating back to the mid 1980's. The kitchen area had an old stove (not operational) and empty cabinets that lined the walls. The back room was filled with an old couch, some old mattresses and boxes of junk. We had a lot of trouble getting images of this room due to the couch and mattresses blocking the door. We set up a digital video camera in the main room with a digital voice recorder, we placed another digital video camera in the kitchen area and took still digital pictures as best we could in the back room. As one might imagine we captured images of many dust orbs and light anomalies from our light attachments on the video cameras. We were able to find a single orb that was aqua blue/green in color in the back room. We checked for reflective surfaces and were not able to reproduce any similar colored orb in that room with that camera or with any of the other cameras we were using. Moving to the upper level of the structure we had to navigate a narrow stairway that opened to a large single room with a fireplace and walls of windows. There was no ceiling, just open space to the rafters that support the roof. There were holes in the roof, holes in the floor and more windowpanes missing than in place. Again we checked for availability of electrical current and there was none. The upstairs had a few rows of theater type seating, a leather chaise and some old metal chairs and table. We set up a digital video camera, took some still digital shots and set down with a digital recorder. With two members of our team upstairs attempting EVP work the other two members were outside surveying the riding corral and property. We were able to capture the sound of footsteps. While Pami is asking questions I am randomly shooting digital still photos around the room. Most of the images we obtained were of dust orbs but there were a few images surrounding Pami that appear to be of a white mist. There was no evidence gathered from outside of the structure that was not easily debunked. Upon review of the EVP recordings Pami was able to capture what sounds like a moan, unsure of gender possibly male. Then a voice saying, "hello" "talk to me." The temperature that night was high seventies and clear.

Our second visit to the Saddle Club yielded more EVP and again more mists surrounding Pami. When the images of the mists were captured on this outing Pami stated that she felt very cold on her right arm. There was no temperature fluctuation according to our thermometers, but images from one of our digital cameras shows a cluster of orbs surrounding her on that right side. When an attempt to reproduce that image the next shot shows a white mist to be on the tabletop in front of Pami. We were able to obtain many EVPs that night with voices that sounded female saying, "find us," "hide," and "please help us." There were foot steps that sounded as if they were walking up and down the stairs. (all members accounted for) And finally there was the male voice that simple told us to "get out". We captured an orange glow in several of the digital still images which initially we dismissed as lens flare from that particular camera in use but upon review we discovered that that same orange glow had been captured on several other cameras as well. There were two pictures of the van we were riding in completely surrounded by this orange glow. There was also a single picture of a bluish orb in motion taken from one of the upstairs windows. The temperature that night was in the mid eighties clear with an almost full moon, and there were bugs everywhere. It seemed to us that there was an unusual amount of insects, mostly those large water bugs.

Our interest was really peaked after visit number two so we went back a third and final time. Its difficult to explain but the feeling surrounding the club had changed. We went inside and immediately noticed that somebody else had been there. (possibly another group?) And there was a white powder (unknown) trailing up the stairs, across the banister and on the sills of all the upstairs windows, and no bugs. Three of us stayed upstairs to take some pictures and do some EVP while I ran down to the van to change batteries in my camera. (fully charged and then dead?) I decided to sit outside and do some EVP. The other members concluded the investigation shortly after that due to the overall change we felt. Upon review of data we captured no photo evidence (not even a dust orb) and the only EVP we captured stated, "don't mess with this place." Overall, we as a group feel like we have actually captured some proof of the paranormal. But most certainly we caught some very interesting voices on our recorders and some rather unusual photos.

We were asked to investigate a fairly prominent hair salon in the Temple area. The people who own and operate this business stated that they have been in this particular location for just over a year and since moving into this building they have experienced some very bizarre things. The claims of activity are black shadows, a full body apparition of a tall man wearing a white button down shirt, disembodied voices, footsteps and electrical appliances turning on for no apparent reason.

We arrived in Temple around 9pm and were met by the salon owner, her husband and a few co-workers and clients. We were given a walk through tour of the building which is a single story 100 year old house that has been converted over and rezoned for commercial purposes. A rough sketch was made of the building and baseline reading of temperature, humidity and electromagnetic frequencies was obtained in every room of the structure. There were several areas with unusually high emf readings and we were quickly able to trace the source to wires and appliances. There were also two other investigators shooting pictures of the areas while everyone else began unloading equipment and checking placement of all the cameras. During the scouting and set up Rita went into the attic alone and shot some pictures and inadvertently 4 seconds of video (more on this later). She also hit her head pretty bad and cut her scalp. She came down bleeding. It looked like something out of a slasher film. Point of interest….. never go alone. Rita is a trooper and wound up being fine. No stitches or lasting scars but it could have been worse.

The Temple investigation was the first for our new team members Brad and Ashley Warren. We were also short 2 team members due to illness. The members present that night were Pop, Lee, Jane, Rita, Brad and Ashley. Just after light out Ashley and a few others went into the attic to do some evp work. Ashley decided to try and get the spirit to answer her by finishing a sequence of knocking sounds. It worked! She was able to capture two faint knocking sounds on her recorder in response to the knocking sounds she had made. Through out the the night we were able to document on video brightly lit orbs moving in just about every conceivable direction through the doorways of the salon. We never did see any flying insects inside the building. So paranormal or dust? Who knows. We have given our opinion and allowed the client to make their own decision in respect to that video footage. Of course we obtained several photos of orbs. Some of them were very brightly lit they seemed to glow and there were a few that were brightly colored as well, bright blue, pink and green. I believe them to be more than just dust but again we gave our opinions and allowed our clients to decide for themselves. Our biggest and best documentation is the 4 seconds of video that Rita shot in the attic without even knowing she had done it. Several days after the investigation while reviewing photos and video and listening to evp’s Rita made her discovery. On that 4 second clip she captured a large billowy shadow that moved rapidly from the left of her up in front towards her and then off to her right. This shadow was so dark and dense that it obscures from view everything it passes in front of. We have watched this video clip hundreds of times trying to explain what or who may have caused it. We have also shown this clip to other people attempting to debunk it. We even went as far as printing out pictures so we could map out her exact steps to rule out her own shadow. So far we have not been able to come up with a rational explanation. We concluded our investigation after the weather turned and it began to rain.

Pop and I returned to Temple two weeks later to discuss the case with our clients and show them what we were able to actually document. Nobody seemed suprised at all. The clients then told us that they had another group of paranormal investigators come the night after we were there and they caught very similar evidence. At first I felt a little put off by the thought of another group coming in behind us and re-investigating. But I quickly realized that the other group whomever they may be only validated the video clips, photos and evp’s we had been able to capture. Our overall impression of this particular location is that there is something paranormal occuring. It is also our impression that it is not a malevolent presence but should also be respected. Our clients aggreed and seemed pleased with the information and documentation provided to them. Lee CTPS
