Chronicles: A Hauntingly Quiet Night at Brougham Way.

I heard the reports about this residential haunting and heard that
there was a lot of activity coming from this house. I
had to check
it out and called upon HPI paranormal investigators: Chris Grissom,
Debbie Talani, Angel Kesti, psychic Anne Temple. We were equipped with two EMF Readers, 3 digital
cameras, 2 Listen Up Sound Enhancers and 3 electronic audio
recorders. We all met up at this home and mapped out areas of
this
home that really needed to be looked at, areas we felt had the most activity. It
was November 9, 2007, Friday and besides anticipating the long weekend, I was hoping we would get some nice results for this Friday night. I sat
in two closets by myself for a period of 20 minutes each, hoping to capture
some
kind of
photographic evidence or hear something on my Listen Up sound enhancer. I had no
results. When interviewing Occupant #1 of this home, she told me that the house
is 30 years old. Occupant #1 did some investigating on her own by digging up
some old County records. She discovered a man named Harold lived in this house
with his Asian bride, he worked as an employee for a computer company. Harold
died of heart
failure in
this home. She believes that Harold still resides in her home, along with a
little boy possibly named Stephen and a small girl. Occupant #1 verified that
the former occupant's named was Harold from her neighbors.
Occupant #1
relates to me that on February 2007, the activity started in their home. They
purchased 2 beds from a Thrift shop and believe that the little boy and little
girl haunt the beds. Occupant #1's boyfriend has heard footsteps on the
stairwell, while Occupant #1 has heard the footsteps that go from the stairwell
to the extended kitchen area. One night she heard the footsteps, went down to
investigate and opened a door and the footsteps stopped. Occupant #1 started
doing her own EVP work and picked up EVPs that say:
EVP: When
asked..."how did you die?" Possibly Stephen (boy ghost): "I drowned".
EVP:
Strange voices (inaudible).
EVP: The word "Dookie" was recorded.
EVP:
Male or female voice: "cold on my body".
EVP: Male or female voice: "so cold
in here."
Occupant #1 said that she had a foster child, and her foster
child had a cousin that was into the Goth culture. Many times she caught this
Goth oriented child rambling or chanting around the house, which could have
brought more activity to their home. This is a theory that was presented to me
by Occupant #1. Occupant #1 thought this child was maybe practicing in the
mystical arts. Occupant #1 said that some other unusual activity is that the TV
would shut off on it's own and once when she was opening the closet a cold gush
of cold wind blew out.
Anne Temple, a medium and HPI member, claims she
was talking with the little boy named Stephen. It was Anne who discovered the
entity's possible full name. Anne elaborates that Stephen's full name is Stephen
(middle name maybe Michael) (last name maybe Warner or Warmer). Anne
says that Stephen was 10 years old when he drowned at the American River near
Folsom. Stephen says he lived in Carmichael and that the bed belongs to
him. Stephen parent's names are possibly Nancy and David, the parents may still
be alive and may have lived on a street or circle off Winding Way called
Steiner? He claims he can't find his way back.
After the
investigation, I checked to see if any of the investigators caught any kind of
photographic evidence, there was none. Debbie smelled a cookie smell that came
from the kitchen and possible cigarette smoke in the bathroom area. No one
smokes in this house. Debbie says that she felt a yanking of her hair twice.
Anne detected heaviness in the air in one of the closets and felt like Stephen
likes to play hide 'n seek with us. Chris didn't feel anything or see anything.
I didn't feel anything or see anything.
Later Anne showed Debbie, Angel,
Chris and I, on how to see auras that surround peoples' bodies. When testing
this experiment out, there seems to be a whiteness around everyone body.
Anne claims this is our aura. I wasn't sure if this was the aura I
was seeing or a trick of my own eyes. It was an interesting experiment
nevertheless.
I heard past EVPs of prior investigations by HPI
that were impressive, but on this night, everything seemed relatively quiet. We
know this house has lots of ghostly activity, we just didn't capture any this
night. This ends this investigation now let me tell you about other HPI events
and activities!
Holly DeLaughter, HPI paranormal investigator has
created a photo album with images of various investigators on duty, scenes of
various places we have investigated, this photo album will be transferred soon
to the HPI Meetup site, but for right now, you can stop by and check them out
