Background on Paranormal Activity
The couple and their children have Christian
backgrounds. Their children attend church with
friends. The wife says Christian prayers before
bed. A Ouija Board was used by the female
homeowner four years ago. Her husband only used
the Ouija board once with his wife. The board was
finally burned by their aunt in the driveway in
2006. Homeowners indicate there are a lot of
problems with illness and energy. They feel as if
energy is sucked out of them and they are sick
all the time. Wife indicates seeing a woman
behind her, black things shooting across the
room, red lights in window, and the sensation of
being pushed on the porch and in the kitchen. She
has had unexplained bruises on her thighs and
scratches on her legs however she does not
believe she is in danger. She has also seen what
appeared to be stars in bathroom, something
resembling snakes crawling on legs, and lights
have been inexplicably turned off. She hears
someone calling her name throughout the house.
Wife also indicates that some of her personal
items seem to disappear and has sensations of hot
or cold throughout the day both inside and
outside of the home.

Background on Paranormal Activity
The husband saw an apparition of a man hanging in
a tree next to the driveway and has seen shadows
inside the home. The older eight year old child
does not seem to experience paranormal activity.
The two year old child talks to an invisible
small boy the child says Hey boy and Do you
want to come outside and play? Both children are
afraid to sleep in their bedroom. The wifes
father also resides in the home and has
experienced the television turning on and off. He
has also seen the image of a woman in his
bedroom. Approximately 6 months after moving in,
the entire family began to hear unexplained
noises including footsteps and doors slamming.
This activity has consistently occurred on a
weekly basis. White and black lights (round and
snake lights) began to appear at the same time.
There is currently tension in the home, medical
issues, and a general unsettling feeling.

Unmarked Grave Behind Residence
The homeowner felt like digging one day and
randomly decided to go to an overgrown area at
the back of the property. She saw a mound of dirt
and started to dig. According to her personal
account, she extracted what she believed to be
tissue and eyeballs. As she dug further she found
bones. Is this the unmarked grave of murder
victim or of a family pet? Local police
detectives took the bone to a veterinarian who
said it was not an animal bone. The bone was
taken to a physician who said the bone was not
human. The verdict is still out.
