Jeff and Gail's House
April 21, 2007

Prelude

The term investigator in this report refers to anyone that is a member of the Ghost Hunters of the South paranormal research team. The term attendee in this report refers to anyone at the investigation that is not a member of the Ghost Hunters of the South paranormal research team.

Background

Jeff has been a friend of Bruce for a very long time and has told Bruce on many occasions about the strange happenings that go on within his house. The property the house is on has been in Jeff’s family for many years. Prior to the house there was a trailer that events also occurred in. As far as Jeff knows, no one has died on the property.

Reported Activity

The whole family has seen a shadow pass through the kitchen. In the old trailer, they saw someone standing at the bedroom door when no one should have been. Jeff’s son saw a man standing in his bedroom when they lived in the trailer. They have all witnessed a shadow trailing down the hall. The wife, Gale, gets unnerved in the hallway and will not walk through without the light on. Gale hears things in the house that shouldn’t be there.
Preliminary Findings & Hypothesis
During the walkthrough of the house we saw nothing that stood out. They were normal people in a normal house. As we were walking into the hall, there was a chill and a heaviness that was well acknowledged. We theorized that this was due to the central air conditioning unit that was positioned at the entrance to the hall. Due to the placement of the central air, we did hypothesize that there would be large electric and magnetic fields that would be contributing to a lot of what might be happening.

Baseline Readings

Data Duration: 32hrs 45min.

Outside Humidity: 87%
Outside Temp: 74 degrees
Climate: Dry
LST: 01:40
Planetary K Index: 5.1 Kp (K-indices of 5 or greater indicate storm-level geomagnetic activity.)
Geomagnetic: 89nT

During the capture of the baseline electric and magnetic field readings we noticed that the static natural field level was well above acceptable levels in the living room. These levels are known to create spooky and uneasy feelings in people that are hypersensitive strong EM fields over a prolonged period of time. Below are the readings that were captured.
 

Electric and Magnetic Field Readings
Reading Level Area  Notes
2.5mG > 9.0mG Kitchen/Dining  High variance around the refrigerator as expected
2.5mG > 10.0mG  Living Room Over 10.0mG variance around central air unit and around the computers
2.9mG > 10.0mG Hall Over 10.0mG variance around central air unit
2.5mG  1st Bedroom No variances noted
2.5mG Master Bedroom 3.1mG variance around the window
2.5mG > 10.0mG 2nd Bedroom  Over 10.0mG variance around central air unit

There were no temperature fluctuations to note.

Resonant Frequency Analysis

"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 room temperature (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) frequencies were flagged in red, as there is a possibility that these affect the body more than higher infrasonic frequencies.
 

Resonant Frequency Levels
Area Dimensions Frequency
Kitchen/Dining 21’ 27Hz
Living Room 19’ 2” 30Hz
Hall  21’ 7” 27Hz
1st Bedroom 12’ 47.2Hz
Master Bedroom 14’ 40.4Hz
2nd Bedroom 10’ 9”  51.4Hz

Resonant frequencies were well with in tolerable limits and should not have an effect on the people living in the house.

Experiential Analysis

All investigators felt a strong sense of uneasiness when entering into the hallway. This correlated well with the feelings the owners mentioned they had going into the hallway.

Conclusion

Based on our findings we are a bit concerned with the high static electric and magnetic fields within the living areas of the house. According to IEEE and the World Health Organization prolonged exposure to extremely high EM fields can have severe effects within the following areas:

  • cell growth
  • reproduction
  • pre- and post-natal development
  • bioelectric activity of isolated neurons
  • behaviorcardiovascular functions (acute exposures)
  • the blood-forming system and blood
  • immune system functions

According to the Society for Physical Research, prolonged exposure to high EM fields can also cause feelings of uneasiness, and create a “being watched” or spookiness feeling.

While the EVP captured in the house are most impressive, they do not indicate the house is haunted or rich in paranormal activity as EVP can happen anywhere.

We suggest that the owners of the house seek out an electrician to assist in minimizing the extremely high electric and magnetic fields within their living areas. We predict that; by removing the high em fields their sense of being haunted may be diminished. We would like the opportunity to reinvestigate after the electric matters are taken care of.
