Case: # 2011-07
Location: Private Residence, Oshawa, Ontario
Claims:
The client had recently purchased the
Farewell House well known to the Oshawa area. In the past this was a
meeting place for several groups, of which the identity is not
known.
A very large home, there has been claims of knocks in the walls,
doors closing on their own, voices etc etc. The children were said
to not go into certain rooms, even the cat's behaviour is not
normal. All in all the client was looking for some answers.
Investigation:
The base reads for the home were fairly normal with the exception of a duct line in the basement. I attribute this possibly to an attached wire or it's proximity to a solenoid on the humidex. However I and another investigator did feel very light headed there. One of the investigators did feel a grabbing feeling of the foot whilst others heard a giggle. There was no temperature flux. During the investigation our voltage meter that we do experiments with like the flashlight test, it did go off for 2 of us. Controlled speed upon control. During a solo the video camera did also shut off, ironically where an EVP showed on the DAT. There was also an intermittent smell of burning cedar with no source in the house. A few investigators commented on this. There were some debunks, the top step in the top floor, has a delayed pop. The attic storage door at the top of the stairs pops open with the vacuum of the entrance door closing or opening. We did originally have 70 hits of sound anomaly but this was weaned to 2 after comparing to video.
Conclusion:
The investigation was smooth
enough, there was enough activity and senses being explored to keep
some interest. Personal experiences are far and few between, there
seemed to be many here. A few of the claims, I would chalk down to
ungrounded wires. Behind the crib was one of them, there is a batch
of such wires there, in the other corner is where the power lines
attach to the house. The hatch door in the top floor opens via
vacuum and I do believe the basement is a "fear cage" of connected
duct and wire work, low ceiling adding to the "connection" The water
system, had been a culprit in earlier believes music was playing in
the basement due to water matrix.
The owner of the home, gladly has gone from a concern to an interest
in the home and the paranormal in general. The home has been
investigated by a number of teams and psychics with some similar and
some differing results. It would be the opinion of CHAPS that a team
should be selected to deal with further work on an ongoing basis in
order to rule out miss managed results and investigative methods.
Video and picture evidence showed nothing however the EVP on
different floors, with video backup were analyzed on scope to be the
same. Neither can be debunked. I am not certain they are authentic
thus why further research is needed. I would say, the building has
some paranormal activity based on our findings. As to the level I am
not sure.
Case to be continued and opinion withheld until such
time.
