Investigators Notes
Becky Ray: Since our first official investigation here they have updated the climate control of the home. There were heaters in place which was nice since it was a bit cool outside. We did turn these off for a while during the investigation to see if the sound was having an effect on what we were hearing.
Overall this crime scene is quiet, however more than once we heard things we could not explain and a few people had experiences we could not disprove. Several of us saw movement in the downstairs sewing room where the Stillinger girls were murdered while no one was in there. While in the closet in the children's room Christina heard someone say, "Hey," then felt a tug on her sweater. As we were all upstairs in the children's room we heard what sounded like calliope/carousel music which stopped as soon as we commented on it.
