Investigators Notes
Kelli Patrick:Equipment used: Nightshot video camera and laser thermometer. No abnormal readings found w/ thermometer. The video revealed no paranormal findings. Great home and great hospitality.
Becky Ray:This is always a fun home to investigate. Although I didn't observe any visual phenomena during this particular investigation, I am still reviewing my photos and audio from the night.
The owners have always reported seeing a dark shadow about the size of their dog moving about the home that they have mistaken for the dog several times. During this visit we may have identified this entity as the wife's dog from before she was married through information that only the wife would have known.
