Summary
We arrived at the residence at approximately 19:00. The owner gave a tour around the house, talking of her claims of activity and their locations.

The 3rd floor of the house is the attic, which has now been converted into an apartment. Claims of activity in the attic consist of a 5 year old boy talking to a spirit in this area, as well as a piece of drywall that had been put up during the renovations had been removed and taken down. There have also been claims of children’s voices and footsteps.

The 2nd floor had a sewing room in which shadows have been seen crossing the door way. There is also a quilting room in which a mist appeared and began to take the shape of torso and then dissipate. Another room on this floor seems to give her bad feelings.

The basement had three shelves that got knocked over as well as various accounts of overwhelming, bad feelings. Crying has also been claimed to be heard coming from the basement.

After the walkthrough, Lowell continued to interview the owner. The rest of the crew began to start setting up the equipment.

We had a limited amount of time in the 3rd floor/attic area, since this area is rented out. Janet and Mary performed an EVP session in the attic apartment, followed by Craig and Kyle investigating the attic area.

Four DVR cameras were set up in the following locations: 2nd floor sewing room, 2nd floor quilting room, 2nd floor west bedroom and in the basement.

Throughout the night, we performed EVP and K-II sessions in each of the areas of claimed activity. Janet and Mary investigated the 2nd floor west bedroom. After their session, Kyle and Craig investigated the quilting room on the south side of the 2nd floor. Kyle, Craig and Lowell proceed to investigate in the basement where Kyle was touched on his right hip. Shortly thereafter the K-II meter became very reactive, moving all over the scale. We then tried to look for any other sources of EMF that may have caused the meter to respond, but were unable to do so. They then moved to an adjacent area of the basement and the K-II meter briefly began to respond again. Kyle, Craig and Lowell regrouped upstairs to discuss the next actions. They then decided to go back down and have the three of the spread out into separate areas of the basement.

After the second session in the basement, Janet and Mary proceeded to investigate the sewing room on the 2nd floor.

To finish off the evening, Lowell suggested having Mary and Janet investigate with him in the basement. This was due to the possibility that the entity could be child-like and may respond better to women. They setup in the same area of the basement as the earlier session with Kyle, Craig and Lowell. Shortly thereafter, the K-II began to react much in the same way as before.

The activity began to subside and Janet relayed that whoever was with us could touch one of them. After a few moments, Mary (8 months pregnant) felt something push down on the top of her stomach. She said she definitely felt that it was from the outside, not the inside.

After asking a few more questions, the K-II meter began to react heavily again. Janet started asking more questions to whatever was there. It seems as though some of the questions were being answered, whereas other activity was sporadic.

Concluding this session, we concluded the investigation and began to pack up the equipment.


Evidence
The evidence gathered consisted of a few EVP's that were caught in a few of the claimed hot spots. This also included one of a moaning/cry that one of residents had heard coming from that particular location. We also caught EVP's in the basement location in which the investigators were touched and the K-II sessions occured.

Conclusion
Our team really enjoyed investigating this residence. Some very interesting things happened during this investigation, most notably, the active K-II sessions and two of our investigators being touched.

The K-II meter is a very interesting device. When using the K-II we have learned about how it reacts to normal magnetic fields when it is in close proximity, such as an alarm clock or an AC adapter that is in use. The lights illuminate and stay constant when in the presence of a field. They don’t tend to fluctuate. Other devices such as transmitters can cause the false K-II reads, however they react in a somewhat similar manner. They will do burst when they are in a relatively close proximity. However, in these cases we had variable, inconsistent reads, jumping from 1.5mG up to greater than 20mG, with various readings in between.

The K-II is a device that we can use as a means of communication or indicating the presence of something paranormal. In this investigation, we had some success with while at the same time, trying to find any other things in the area that could interfere with K-II. We could not find other sources of EMF in the area of the K-II. In addition, the K-II only behaved like this on 3 occasions during the course of the investigation. All were in the same area of the basement, with the exception of a couple minor bursts in the basement closer to the stairs and one 20 mG burst in the attic. The K-II was brought into all areas that we investigated in the house, with the only manipulation in the basement.

We choose to use personal experiences as evidence, due to the fact of trust within the group. We all take the approach that most claims and activity can be debunked and are not quick to jump to paranormal activity. So when one of our investigators has a personal experience that they are confident of, we all agree and trust their experience. The fact that two of our investigators were touched is a strong argument for evidence. In addition, they were both touched in nearly the same location in the basement.

When investigating the other areas of the house, we didn’t feel much at the time. However, as paranormal investigators, this does not mean anything and the evidence review may provide additional pieces of evidence. We did find some EVP’s in these other areas that we could not discard.

We did not capture a mist forming or a shadow crossing the door of the sewing, but paranormal activity never occurs on demand or necessarily in the way that we would in which we would like it to.

Overall, we feel we could classify this residence as haunted. With the evidence collected we feel there is enough data to confirm a haunting. We don’t feel that anything here is malicious in nature. At no time did any investigator feel they were in danger from anything in the home.

Although, this was not an offical investigation conducted by the full Paranormal Workshop team, we wanted to list it and detail the investigating that Craig and Kyle performed.
This was a Beyond Reality Event hosted by T.A.P.S. Other individuals were investigating at the same time. Kyle and Craig spent 5 hours investigations 6 different areas throughout the Stanley Hotel grounds.

The investigation began in the employee tunnels with Kris Williams. They continued onto the concert hall and met up with Grant Wilson and Amy Bruni. Here Craig and Kyle conducted an EVP session on the stage. After concluding this EVP session, they moved to another claimed hot spot in the concert hall, the ladies restroon on the lower level. Finshing up the concert hall, they moved to a walkway path underneath the concert hall entrance.

The investigation continued in room 1302 of the Manor House with Syd Schultz. In an episode of Ghost Hunters in which they are investigating the Stanley, this is the room in which the table moved. During the session here, a shadow was seen in the hallway outside the door. In addition, movement was heard over by the room entrance. During this session a flashlight laid on the ground was turned on.

They continued onto room 418 with Britt Griffith, in which a past occupant reported the bed shaking. Not much happended in this room.

They moved on to room 401, where in the Ghost Hunter's episode, Jasons's glas broke and the closet door was opened. When we asked for sign of the presence of whatever might be there, there was knock that came from behind Craig. Craig then asked again and another knock was heard. Later in the session, a female individual reported being grabbed on her bottom.

The investigation concluded with room 217. This is the room in which Stephen King stayed and had bags unpacked an put away. EVP sessions were conducted by Mark and Debbie Constantino.

It was a great place to investigate and are looking to return there again.

This particular client had claims of boxes another objects being moved. One specific instance included christmas presents that were left right next to the wall and upon return, all boxes pull a few feet away from the wall an in a line.
Another claim involved the sound of the front door opening by itself, even thought it had been locked.

We setup our equipment and focused on investigating 4 main areas of the house, the bedroom with the presents, the attic, the dining area and the basement. We had DVR cameras setup in the bedroom with the presents, the attic, one on the front door and one covering the basement stairs and hallway.

We conducted various EVP sessions a few different personal experiences. The first of which was a flashlight turn on and off by itself in the bedroom. This occured a couple different instances throughout the night. In that same room, Kyle and Craig noticed an overwhelm smell of cinnamon that filled the room.
The EMF never varied from the baseline with the exception of the basement, in which EMF was traced back to wiring with the walls.

This investigation was a follow-up investigation to our 10/9/2008 investigation.
Kyle and Janet arrived at the house at approximately 18:15 with Mary, Craig and Lowell arriving at approximately 18:42. Since this was a follow-up investigation we skipped the tour and began to take base readings in and around the house.

We attempted to debunk a few items: the ball rolling back to the sender in the parlor room and the upstairs children’s bedroom closet door opening and closing itself.

After completing debunking, we continued to discuss how we wanted to setup the DVR cameras and EVP recorders. We then proceeded to setup the equipment.



We conducted various EVP sessions in 2 teams: Kyle, Craig and Lowell as one team, and then Mary and Janet as the other team. Later on in the evening there were 3 lone EVP sessions. Kyle conducted his session in the blue bedroom downstairs. Lowell conducted his EVP session in the parents’ bedroom upstairs and Craig conducted his in the children’s bedroom upstairs. We concluded the investigation by tearing down and packing up the equipment.

Upon reviewing the evidence, we had a few different EVP's that primarly came from the children's bedroom upstairs. This is the same room in which Kyle, Craig and Lowell heard a disembodied voice in the first investigation. In one of the EVP's, Craig asked "Is there anything you would like to convey?" Shortly after he asked the question, you hear a reponse of "No."

Summary
We arrived at approximately 19:15 were given a tour of the jail. We setup the equipment and began the investigation at about 20:00. We setup four stationary IR DVR cameras. One camera was in the main jail area, 1st floor aiming towards the hall of solitary confinement, as well as the walk around the cell and one of the jail cells. Another was placed in the 3rd floor infirmary. And the other 2 were setup on opposite ends of the 4th floor apartment area, where most of the claims of paranormal activity have occurred. We placed a stationary EVP recorder in the actual solitary confinement area, 1 on the 4th floor in the north room, and one in an adjacent room where Ryan Roenfeld had actually heard whispering at one time. Another EVP recorder Kyle and Craig carried for EVP communication sessions and the other was given to Janet and Mary for EVP communications sessions. Kyle was on the fourth floor setting up an IR camera with Craig running the cable down to command. Kyle heard a distant and soft scream that seemed to be in desperation. No one else heard this which he found interesting because if he had to judge where it came from, it sounded like downstairs in the main part of the jail where we had 3 investigators doing set up. One of the prior claims was the armoire on the 4th floor opening and closing. Even during setup we noticed how easily the door swings open. It is noticeably off balance, and once the door goes beyond its breaking point, gravity really takes over. Later on in the night, Kyle and Craig did testing and were able to cause the door to swing open by walking around on the floor. We came to the conclusion that walking around throughout that floor is enough to make the door move little by little and then hit its breaking point and opens fully.
Kyle and Craig did a lot of EVP communication sessions in various areas throughout the jail. We used a K-II meter and a Mel EMF meter. We weren’t getting any hits on the K-II. The first session I did get one spike of 2.3 on the Mel. But most sessions seemed uneventful. I did a couple of solo EVP sessions in a couple of the jail cells. Some of these involved some provoking. We also captured an EMF burst down in solitary confinement of 4.6 on the Mel. We tried to find sources for this, but couldn’t. We also did baseline sweeps before which were right at about 0.2. The most interesting thing we had happen was on the 4th floor, north room; Kyle and Craig were setting up to do an EVP session there, and the K-II started going off. Kyle got his camcorder on it and started recording. We were actually able to ask yes or no questions and have responses. The range would fluctuate from 1.5 up to 10 milligauss, the 3rd light on the meter. Kyle and Craig went back up again and brought Ryan, with us and actually had him ask some questions. The K-II was responding to some stuff again.

Conclusion
In weighing through all the evidence, we have come to the conclusion that there is some paranormal activity. It seems like there is some residual activity do to some of the random evidence, but there does appear to be some intelligent activity because of the responsiveness of some of the K-II sessions. We, however, don’t believe it is full-fledged haunted, mainly because there is not enough solid evidence to support a consistent haunting. We would like to investigate again with a focused investigation on EVP sessions in the areas with which have already found activity.

Before beginning investigating, we had a meeting in which to go over our approach to investigating this house. Now knowing the history of house, location and people murder as well the previous accounts of paranormal activity, Lowell recommended that we use Mary and Janet to gain a trust and repo ire with the 4 children that were murdered in the upstairs bedroom. This room has been known to be one of the paranormal "hot spots". We set up 2 cameras in this room. The HD camera was placed on the bed in the southeast corner of the room, aiming at the bed room closet. Another camera was placed to be focused on the attic door. We also placed one EVP on the bed behind the HD camera as well as one EVP inside the bedroom closet. Lowell recommended that w Janet and Mary use an indirect conversation technique. In this technique, they don't acknowledge any paranormal presence, but instead carry on a conversation between the 2 of them. This proved to be very effective. Within a small amount of time, the closet door opened and stayed opened a bit, and then eventually slammed shut. Throughout the night we had similar events.


We were able to catch the door opening and closing a couple of times on video. We also captured a few EVP's, one that was particularly significant. Kyle, Lowell and I also had a personal experience as we were setting up for another interaction. We were standing in the kids' bedroom upstairs and heard a deep man's voice, almost demonic sounding that seem to come from the adjacent bedroom. I personally thought it was 2 syllable's but not intelligible. It was one of those sounds that I had to do a double take because I wasn't sure if I was just hearing things, but as I looked at Kyle and his expression, I could tell he had heard it too. Unfortunately, since we were setting up, we didn't have any EVP's running. Overall, it was a very good experience.

I remember after doing some review that during the filming of the Janet and Mary being in the kid's bedroom for the second time, that the HD camera suddenly shut off. We suspected a battery drain. This happened during the peak of activity during that recording. I decided to run a test to see how much time I should've had remaining on that battery for recording. After all my calculations and testing, there should have been another 30 minutes of record time. I went into the investigation with a fully charged battery and was only able to get about 64 minutes of record time off of one charge (with the light on). When I ran test again, with a fully charged battery. I was able to record 1hr and 40 minutes (with the light on) before the camera shut off. I have concluded that this was a battery drain. Kyle also had a similar experience early on in the investigation with his brand new (Energizer) batteries. He place brand new batteries in his digital camera, and within a minute they were drained. His digital camera shut off and he couldn't get it back on until put another set of new batteries in.
