Sithy,

To respond to your questions, I was using a digital camera with a night setting…..but the unexplainable part is I have some shots of the fireworks that look exactly like what you would think fireworks look like and then I have these shots that have all of the activity in them. I will gladly post some of the other shots so you can compare if you would like.

I don't doubt that we had presence there with us cause you just had a feeling that someone else was close to you and it wasn't just my wife. /huh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

All,

Also on the Saturday nigth that we were there Carolyn let us go into the office (which they have had many experiences in) and let us take some pictures and to try and capture some EVPS. I was taking shots with a digital camera (that had a full battery) and about a half dozen pictures in….my camera just went dead and froze completely. I could not turn it off and there were weird icons on the screen that I had never seen before. I could get it to do nothing at all, I ended up walking into another room asking "whoever" did this to please at least let me shut the camera down. I had to finally take the battery out, wait a couple secs and then put it back in..upon doing that I was able to shut the camera down. If I tried to turn it on, the screen would blink…battery empty. After getting home and charging the camera and developing the film, the last couple shots I was able to take there seems to be a misty form coming to me….was it trying to manifest and zapped my battery in the process????? That is my thoughts. After all this happened we walked into the back part of the office and I left my EVP recorder in the breakfast nook (where all the above happened) after listening to the recording we heard what sounded like something 'tinking' against glass…there is no glass in that room.

Also later that night as my wife and I were getting ready to call it a night, we had climbed in bed and had been laying there for a little bit when my wife leans over to me and said….did you hear that big boom?? I heard nothing, could it have been the echo from a cannon years ago?? We or she didn't hear it again at all thru our stay.

I appreciate it…I was puzzled by them as well but when looking at them all some look normal and the others have all this activity. Will one ever be able to fully explain it?? Probably not, just wanted other to be able to enjoy what shots we had taken.

Let's see, where do I start?

I grew up in the early 60's in a home in Massachusetts that had undocumented activity. Lights that would turn on and off, doors that would open and shut. Apparitions, audio anomalies.

We never had anything documented, because most of the activity was considered normal to us, we just accepted it.

My first personal experience there, was an audio anomaly of the sound of furniture being moved. My bedroom was on the second floor of the house, and my grandmother lived with us with her rooms on the second floor.

During that night we awoke to the sound of furniture being moved, dragged around, it was very loud. We assumed it was my mom and dad who had a bedroom on the first floor. We listened for a few minutes and went back to sleep. I was quite young, 8 perhaps and didn't give it much thought.

The next day, my parents asked just what it was that we were doing that we had to move furniture during the night, they had heard the exact same noises and assumed it came from us on the upstairs floor.

The second experience I had there was a physical experience. I was about 17 or 18, and I was up during the night and decided to get a drink, and go back to bed. I was in the kitchen pouring a glass of milk, when I had the classic "I'm not alone" feeling and turned around.

The door to the back room that was closed, slowly opened revealing a couple inches of dark room behind it. I took my milk and went back to bed.

I had an experience with the auditory sound of footsteps pacing above me in the middle of night in our unoccupied attic. I listened to them one night while reading and that continued for about 5 or ten minutes that night. I never heard it again.

I also saw what I believe to be an apparition. Again it was late evening, I was watching tv with my mom, my dad was asleep in bed. We heard the sound of approaching footsteps and I turned to the doorway and saw a man pass by the doorway. He looked like a person strolling by, and was not translucent like you would think an apparition would be, but a solid figure. He did not acknowledge either my mom or I he just passed by the doorway.

My mom saw it also, and assumed it was my dad. She got up to make sure he was ok, but found him asleep in bed. We still talk about that to this day. I had many objects disappear to later "re-appear" in odd places. A Coke can disappeared off my nightstand to be found months later buried between a stack of blankets stored behind my bureau.

Just odd things like that.

When I became an adult, I moved here, and never really had any experiences. My husband passed away from cancer in 2007 and his parents who occupied the second floor of our home passed two years previous to that of brain cancer, within 6 weeks of each other.

There was another death in the apartment I occupy of a former tenant before I moved here. He passed away in my living room.

When I met my fiancee and he moved in here with us, we had met on a paranormal forum and shared an interest in the paranormal.

He is much more technical than I and when he moved out here, he brought recorders and other equipment. We decided one night to either go to dinner or go to a local cemetery to try and capture EVP.

We set one of the recorders on his table not sure if it would work properly as we had two other recorders on us, and left. When we returned, he checked the recorder to see if it was working properly, and to our astonishment had a class A EVP. The voice is recorded between our conversations and discussions on plans for that evening, and says "Don't do that".

After that we decided one night to seriously pursue research into what we may have in our home. So we set out the recorders an Olympus and a Sony, and recorded. We had from that night alone, over 29 class B and A Evps on that recording. And have consistently gotten EVP on each recorded session. We currently have files with close to 100 EVP's.

Some of the EVP's give their names. One says "My name is Jason and I'm the (something) here, and my name is Jeremy. We have female voices, a Spanish speaking EVP, a child and two males.

They use our names and interact in cognitive time with our son and my elderly mom and with us.

They ask for help, are sometimes amusing. One recorded clip has me coughing followed by a class b saying "Amy, get a drink".

We are not sure what these voices are, as we can't prove they are actual spirits, but we feel they are. We continue to record and to document.

We have recently had incidents with our lights being turned on at odd times, and my fiance has seen shadows in our bedroom, two, one the approximate height of a child, one about the height of a full grown male. They have not interacted with him, and I personally have never seen them.

Research continues and we love the fact that we seem to have some amazing activity right here in our home.
