Case: # 2013-02
Location: Private Home, St.Thomas, Ontario
Investigation:
The team arrived
at 8pm and we were greeted by Shawn and Julie Vonk. They called
CHAPS in to see if we could find a reason to the activity that
they were experiencing. We were told of footsteps, shadows, an
uneasy feeling in the unfinished area of the basement. Nikki and
Dave D took the initial base reads of the home, all area proved
to be very normal with base reads at 0.0-0.2 and temps averaged
74 degrees. We started the investigation in the unfinished part
of the basement where Shawn had feelings of not being wanted or
uneasy, EVP session lasted about 20 mins and we moved into the
main family room where an EVP session was conducted for about 25
mins, Dave was getting an odd feeling from the kids bedroom so
we moved into there for about 15mins and conducted an EVP
session.
After a quick
break we moved to the master bedroom where claims of shadows and
where the dog would sit in front of the bathroom door an growl
at nothing. I moved into the bathroom and conducted an EVP
session for about 20 mins, during the time we were hearing bangs
and knocks but Nikki concluded that the sound was from wood
settling after the furnace shut off. After this we moved into
the main floor where the team discussed the night and what we
thought of the early findings. We all agreed that the bangs and
knocks were probably normal house noises with the cold air
outside and warm air inside. As for the claims of shadows there
are multiple windows and lights that can cast odd looking things
on the walls. We were satisfied with the night, nothing happened
paranormal wise, meter's were flat all night and we didn't feel
the need for solo's plus the owners had a 7 month old that
needed to get to bed so we ended the night there.
Conclusion:
After audio review nothing has come up, I thought I had a few hits but after comparing audio and video together all hits were thrown out as there were either natural causes or human explanation. At this time I can say that given the nights events, all the audio and video was reviewed and talking to my 3 teammates we concluded that there is no activity present during the time we were there and most experiences can be explained but I have advised the home owner's to keep in contact if anything happens again and we would be more than happy to help.
