This was a very unique case for the SPIRITS as it involved information derived from both sensitives and equipment.  The homeowners called the para-investigators in because they had experienced a number of odd phenomena in their home.  We had little information to start the case with, but sensitives uncovered a male and a female presence.  The story that they found was that the ghosts were connected through a crime of kidnapping -- him of her.  However, home owner research and SPIRITS research could find no information that supported this information.  Ultimately, the closest that we could come was to discover that there was a railroad that ran close to the property many years prior.  This railroad might have brought individuals into this area that remained unrecorded on official sources.  The entities, then, could be classified as drop-ins, present at the home as the nearest structure to whatever drama played out for them in life.

The case is also unique because of the photography.  One member, who rarely gets images, is not sensitive, and serves as a "PDK" (a neutral, non-psychic) captured one of her first and only orb images.  A second series of pictures showed an odd "face" within a violet patch of light.  These were disproven as false positives.  Further testing revealed that there was a mirror in the room that created these odd reflections when the flash struck in just the right fashion.  Yet a third image was an odd line with dashes through it.  It was not a camera cord as the camera was pointed up to take a shot of the ceiling.  The member did not swing the camera but held it firmly.  There were no reflective surfaces here.  It does not match the typical animal-hair-caught-in-lens, so that leaves the question:  what is it?

As this case had so many unusual details to it, perhaps it is best left to the reader to determine their own interpretation of the results.  As the case is over three years old, SPIRITS members can also look back with some objectivity to their reports and recordings to determine what they, too, believed happened here.

As always, enjoy and happy haunting!

Investigation Notes:

Others present:  Homeowner, birds, dog
Base readings: EMF 1.2, Temp. 73 degrees

Bucs Room:
1.8 EMF
72-73 degrees
Thought I had an orb image in this room, but when I looked again I realized it was a false positive.

Bird Room:
1.8 EMF
74 degrees
Bugs noted flying in the room.

Porch:

Debbie felt that there was a line out in the porch area.

3.0 EMF in front of bird cages.

Living room:
1.0EMF
74 degrees.
I set the EMF base at 1.2 as that seems to be the average EMF for the rooms.

Bedroom 1: (MA bedroom)
1.4 EMF
73 degrees
Is anyone here?  1 EMF spike.  Would not repeat.

Bedroom 2: 
1.2 – 1.4 EMF
73 degrees

Outside, front:
74 degrees
1.0EMF
Christmas lights up.

Review of images:
Bucs Room (later revealed to be false positive)
Outside (original set later proved to be false positive)

Home owner interview:

Historical notes:  Lived in house since 1991/92.
Renovated house in 1996, when some of the activity started.  Renovations correspond to the birth of children.
Found a ring in the closet of the bedroom 2.  
Homeowner reports sensitivity and prior haunting at other houses.
Homeowner has asked entity to leave. 
Also reports that the crux in bedroom 2 has fallen off wall several times.  Assumed it was children’s doing….

Conclusions: 

 This was yet another strange investigation.  Entity is angry, acting up.  Hostile to SPIRITS team and unwilling to work with us.  I am wondering if it is misogynistic, esp. as it acts up for homeowner but not her husband (only one reported activity with him present).
I agree with the homeowner that the child is attracted to her, esp. as the house has multiple children in it.  The SPIRITS is sending in a camera to see if we can capture the entity on film while the family is away.  I have also put homeowner in contact with Char in order to remove entity.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COMING TO OUR HOME.. I GOT TO ASK A FORMER NEIGHBOR ABOUT OUR HOME AND SHE TOLD ME THAT JOSEPHINES 2ND HUSBAND DIED IN OUR BEDROOM BUT HIS NAME WAS ANGELO AND WAS A SMALL LITTLE ITALIAN MAN. THE ONLY TALLER PERSON SHE KNEW THAT DIED CLOSE TO HERE WAS THE MAN WHO DIED AT KERI'S HOUSE 2 DOORS DOWN. SHE SAID HE WAS CLOSE TO 6 FT AND HE RETIRED FROM THE RAILROAD.
===========
(12-4)
JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO THE CORDS HANGING FROM THE FAN IN THE BUC'S ROOM WERE SWINGING WILDLY AND THEN THE WHOLE FAN STARTED TO SHAKE. ALSO THIS AFTERNOON WHILE I WAS HOME ALONE IN THE BUC'S ROOM, SOMEONE IN A MAN'S VOICE YELLED: " I TOLD YOU NO".  IT CAME FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND NO NEIGHBORS WERE HOME. ALSO I HAD "LADY INSIDE TODAY FOR PIECE OF MIND SINCE I WAS ALONE AND AS I WAS COMING OUT OF THE BEDROOM SHE WAS COWARD DOWN LIKE SHE WAS EITHER AFRAID OR DID SOMETHING BAD. I CHECKED THE HOUSE AND SHE DIDN'T GET INTO ANYTHING SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHY SHE WAS ACTING LIKE THIS. KERI THINKS WE PISSED SOMETHING OFF AND NOW HE WILL ACT UP MORE. SO NOW I SLEEP LESS..
I DID TALK TO ANOTHER NEIGHBOR AND HE SAID THE ONLY ONE THAT DIED IN THIS HOUSE WAS JOSEPHINES 2ND HUSBAND ANGELO. HE WAS A SAMLL ITALIAN MAN.  I DID DO RESEARCH ON THE RAILROAD IN NEW PORT RICHEY AND THERE WAS AN ORANGE LINE THAT RAN FROM TARPON SPRINGS ANCLOTE RIVER  TO OCALA. SO THIS WOULD BRING IT VERY CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE.  JOSEPHINE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST HOME OWNERS HERE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT ALL THIS LAND WAS A OPEN COW PASTURE. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT WE DID HAVE SAL'S UNCLE BLESS THE HOUSE AND ALL THE CROSSES WERE ALSO BLESSED WHEN WE MOVED IN.  MJ
OK I THINK KERI IS RIGHT I JUST HEARD A CABINET SHUT AND NO ONE WAS IN THE KITCHEN!!!! SHOULD THINGS BE GETTING WORSE???
