Prelude:
Reva works for a local pool shop that Bruce, co-founder of GHOTS,
frequents. Reva learned that we researched the paranormal and invited
Bruce over with the team.
The house is an older house that appeared to be made in the late 1890’s
or early 1900’s. There had only been one owner of the house, and has
been used as a rental for quite some time.
During the walkthrough it was noticed that the two adjoining living
rooms on the right side of the house had fireplaces that were separated
by quite a distance. The fireplaces were fixed at a 45 degree angle
meaning that behind the fire places there was about 100 sq ft of unused
space. Unused space was uncommon in this era of house, but what was
common in houses of this age were hidden séance rooms which was
extremely popular in the early 1900’s. Historical research of this house
failed to produce any relevant data.
Reported Activity:
The reported activity doesn’t appear to be
redundant or cyclic in nature. The experiences and activity tend to
occur at random. Some of the activity that Reva and her daughter have
experienced is: sensing a cat rubbing on her feet, the front door not
staying shut when they have company.
Reva has seen a man walking down hallway into the bathroom. Both Reva
and her daughter of witnessed a shadow going under the hallway closet.
Reva’s animals have started some odd bad habits for no apparent reason.
Reva’s daughter had her shoes move after she just took them off.
Also reported by the client was a chair that would tend to topple on its
own. They would fix the chair upright but in the morning the chair would
be laying down on its back.
Baseline Readings:
NOAA Planetary K-Index: 2 Kp
NOAA Geomagnetic Field: ~90 nT
*K-indices of 5 or greater indicate storm-level geomagnetic activity.
**Research done thus far shows there is a direct correlation between
paranormal activity and the strength of the of the earths geomagnetic
field.
As we started the investigation the first thing we noticed was an
exceedingly high electric and magnetic field throughout the house. We
were able to measure the field and averaged it to the curb at ~10.2 mG.
The high EMF was due to a power substation about 75’ from Reva’s house.

Prolonged exposure to high electric and magnetic
fields has shown to create spooky and uneasy feelings in people that are
hypersensitive to these fields. Prolonged exposure to exceedingly high
em fields has been shown to cause cancer.

Another factor we looked at was resonance
frequency of the house. Older houses tend to be long and open in the way
they were built, quite similar to a hollow tube. The thoroughfare of the
house was ~44’ in length and connected 3 rooms.
A little about resonance frequencies: "Infrasonic frequencies are felt
as vibrations which, if intense enough, may result in feelings of
nausea, vertigo, hallucination and eventual black-out or internal
hemorrhaging".
Resonant frequency is how many times per second sound travels between a
cavity and returns to its starting point. Resonant frequencies for some
areas were calculated at an adjusted room temperature of 72 F with the
following formula: (1131.743 f/s) / (2 * Cavity Width (in feet)). Note
that the 1131.743 feet/second figure is the speed sound travels at in
room temperature and frequencies below or near Alpha brain wave (< 13
Hz) are of concern. In the thoroughfare the resonant frequency was 12.86
Hz.

Experiential and Observational Analysis:
Early in the evening an investigator heard an audible growl while in the
daughters bedroom. Later in the investigation while sitting in the
living room, several investigators heard the audible growl.
Towards the end of the investigation and after some provoking, the
investigators heard something from within the kitchen. As they walked
into the kitchen it was noticed that an old, extremely heavy door,
leading outside was open and off the hinges. This is important to note,
because early in the investigation Bruce opened the door and it had
fallen to the ground. It took two people to lift the door up and put it
back in place since the door was so heavy. When Bruce opened it
initially, he could only get the door open a few inches. What we
observed at the end of the night was that the door was opened by at
least a foot and a half.
Conclusion:
Of concern to us is the extremely high electric and magnetic field
within the house that is being produced by Alabama powers subsystem just
outside the door of the house. The high em field is measurable to the
curb of her yard. We feel that Reva should contact Alabama power as the
emission could be potentially dangerous. The high em field could
contribute to the spookiness that some of Reva’s friends have felt
within the house. Some theories also suggest that ghost feed off this
type of free energy.
After looking at the chair that topples over, we found that it was
fairly hard to move. The center of gravity on the chair was a bit higher
than on most, but it was still hard to push over. It was noticed that
when one of her cats jumped on top of the chair the center of gravity
raised a little, so it is possible that if two cats were playing on the
chair and jumping off the chair could topple.
The opened door at the end of the investigation was of extreme interest.
When Bruce first opened the door, he could only get it open a few
inches, but at the end of the night it was opened about a foot and a
half. In order to do this, without being heard, it would have taken two
people lifting the door and swinging it open.
The sound anomalies on the recorders were amazing. During an
investigation we, the team, ensure to keep it down and talk regularly;
as is standard protocol. Under no circumstances does the team yell and
scream, so hearing yelling and screaming on the recordings certainly
makes us question what is happening at the house.
No one in the team can deny the fact that we heard the growling, and
that a heavy door slid open on its own when quite frankly, it was in
such bad disrepair that it shouldn’t have even budged.
Although the em fields are excessively high, we do not believe that it
is the cause of the events happening within the house. Based on our
experiences, and the data collected; it is our conclusion that the
Hitchcock residence has an active, intelligent haunting.
