Private residence investigation July 31st, 2009 research

For the case of the private residence located in Stony Creek Mills, I have conducted a interview prior to the investigation on the phone with the owners of the home. The owners have claimed since the passing of the owners father in the home who died there while on hospice, that the family dog has been acting strange in the room where the man had passed away by sitting right out outside the room for some time, prancing around the room like he was there as well. Also noting that grandchildren around the age of 2 would talk and hold conversations with someone who was not there, but more importantly, conversations that would have to do with the man who died in the home. According to some, children are more adapt to the paranormal or ghosts then most adults. Also to note that these activities have been occurring for the past two years and not something that the dog is grieving over any longer as the dog still acts if he is there with her.

Evidence Review of July 17th William Penn Fire Tower Investigation

The fire tower was originally built in the 1800’s out of wood. In April of 1923 the tower was burned down to the ground by arson. A can of gasoline was found at the site. During its reconstruction it is said that a man had died while working on the building as well as the grounds keepers, Marsha and Earl Walker, had also passed on after the restoration of the Tower itself. It is said that you can hear foot steps on the steel stairs, knocking and other strange noises. This is one of Reading PA’s most famous landmarks and the ESPRS is greatly appreciative to have had the opportunity to investigate the tower and hopes to go back in the future.

The investigation started around 8:15pm when members of the ESPRS first showed up to the fire tower, pictures were taken of the outside and the area was walked around, the property is enclosed by a chain link fence and pad locked shut. Once we were inside we were locked into the area. Lights out at about 8:35 and the investigation began. Equipment that was brought along for this was an EMF detector, Mini DV recorder with low light recording, digital voice recorder and digital cameras.

38 minuets Kate is focused on the boxes that just moved she noticed earlier that the camera went out of focus and seconds later at 38:18/19 they go out of focus again without the camera moving and nothing in front?

51:44 Disembodied voice like a Moaning through 52 minuets. Steve had been upstairs and asked if it was a car that went by, however myself, Cory, and Kate were all downstairs looking out the windows and saw no cars or headlights reflecting as they would when one did go past.

Check out the mist that was caught on camera. You will be able to see that all these pictures are taken with the same camera and no other picture shows the mist captured.

Aulenbach's Cemetery Research

The ESPRS will be conducting its third investigation at the Aulenbach’s cemetery. Plots dating back to the 1800’s, Aulenbach’s cemetery is home to over 500 Civil War soldiers as well as Ida and Stockton Snyder who are buried side by side for over 100 years, were very charitable people that died tragically in a train accident. The funeral train that brought the body’s home drew some 24,000 people in Reading to watch them come home and be buried in the Aulenbach’s cemetery. Claims of activity have been batteries going dead and draining quickly, orbs have been photographed, and unexplained noises though out the 34 acres of buried history.

Check back after the investigation for any evidence gathered by the ESPRS.
