Personal Experiences: (Not Factual Proof) 1 ~ While taking readings in the bedroom. The investigator watching the cameras noticed that it looked as if a disco ball was shining around the bedroom. At that same moment the investigator in the room got light headed and immediately had to sit down. Another investigator just outside the door to the room also began to feel light headed. Unfortunately the camera also stopped recording for three minutes, just seconds before this happened.
2 ~ During the night, one investigator was sleeping in the room were the suicide took place and another was sleeping in the living room. The investigator jumped up out of the bed and woke the other investigator up, that was sleeping in the living room. While both sat in the bedroom, from the living room it looked as if someone was smoking. The room was giving off a glow as if someone was out there smoking a cigarette. EVP 3 was recorded just prior to the investigator waking in the bedroom while EVP 4 is from the living room while both investigators were sitting in the bedroom.
