Investigators Notes

Kelli Patrick: I used my nightshot video and EMF meter. Nothing found on video or meter. I did feel like someone was following us around in the "green room". I felt like someone was right behind me. It was fine in the rest of the home.
Becky Ray: During this investigation, I mostly experienced smells or odors. In the basement I smelled a strong coconut-type aroma immediately before my gauss meter spiked, and then was completely drained. I put fresh batteries in before the investigation.
Upstairs in the kitchen area, I smelled a strong "fruity" type of smell. Almost like a perfume, but not quite. I smelled this same aroma during our initial investigation in this home.
The door to the basement is a heavy wooden door that would not move on its own, and I could not pull it open without turning the knob. However, just as the homeowners had reported, shortly after we had shut this door, and made sure it was latched, it opened on its own.
