CCPRS Visit Webb House

CCPRS investigation of an 100 year old farm house currently undergoing renovations. 
The history on the property had been completed previously by CCPRS Debbe Miller for prior investigations.  

CCPRS’ arrival on the site and departure times were 7pm and 2am.   The temperature outside ranged between 60° as the high and 34° as the low. 


The team did a walk through of the residence and the surrounding property sweeping for EMF baselines and noted high/ or spiked EMF readings.  A baseline EMF was recorded in each room of the farm house prior to starting our session. 

Equipment used during this investigation were: walkie-talkies; EMF detector; 3 digital recorders; 2 video cameras with night vision; 3 digital cameras; 3 film cameras; a toy flashlight and 2 balls-flashlights.


CCPRS began it’s actual investigation at 7:35 pm.   As you can no doubt see from the above time, our investigation was 7-hours long.  Therefore, it took some time for the team to collect and input all of the evidence collected and then evaluated prior to our closing of the investigation and meeting with the owner of the residence to review the findings.

CCPRS Finding and Final Report


INVESTIGATION 1:

Oct 2008 the evidence collected based on EVP’s, E.M.F’s. The evidence of EMF readings were not present, No paranormal photographs were captured. However the EVP’s collected were Class A and Class B’s, the disembodied voices captured were a Male by the name of Hector, a Female, playing a piano and singing as well as humming. Additional EVP’s captured two, possible three children in parlor, living room and outside near big oak tree.

During this investigation, Debbe was touched in the parlor as well as class A EVP’s from two recorders captured both male and female disembodies voices, in conversation with each other on how to touch Debbe and where to touch Debbe. Other experiences were shadows, heavy boots walking on the floor as well as humming, singing and a child’s laughter.

Notes: Client had been remodeling since April of 2008 this could explain the EVP’s captured on audio.

 

INVESTIGATION 2:

Jan 2009, during this investigation produced a limited amount EVP’s captured. EMF detector readings showed numerous fluctuations between 2.0 to 6.0 in every room within the house, as if the spirit/s only observing us and watching us from room to room. Disembodies voices captured on this investigation some were from the original investigation and other seems to be said as a group at the same time in unison. As far a hearing a piano or singing none were captured, as well as no supporting photos captured. In this investigation we found the hallway had high EMF responses which appeared to the investigators to be interacting by displaying spikes and lights (green to red) on the EMF within the rooms of the house throughout the night’s investigation.

Notes: Client had not been remodeling due to the weather conditions and the house had been closed up for the winter, could this explain the lack of EVP’s and explain the high EMF readings?

 

INVESTIGATION 3:

April 11th 2009, the evidence collected on this visit were High EMF spikes and high number of EVP’s and photographs with orbs and mists in the room with the attic. The hallway was also a hot spot for high EMF readings as well as the dinning room and outside near the big oak tree. The EMF responses in the dining room spike from a 4.0 to a 7.0 when the investigator Julie asked the spirit if she could move closer and took a step the EMF detector went to 0.0. A sweep of that area within a 5 feet parameter shows no EMF readings. Whatever had been in this area was now gone. In addition a high EMF spike was captured near the big oak tree outside, Julie had a reading of 3.0 to 4.0 and seemed to be the presences of a child, Debbe crouched down next to the presences hoping to capture EVP’s but within seconds after the team began to ask question the EMF detector went to 0.0. And a sweeps of the area within a 5 feet parameter show no EMF readings. A ball was used in the living room; the results are inconclusive however EVP’s captured a giggling child and whispers.

There were many shadows, piano banging sounds, foot steps and touching of investigators hair on three of the team’s investigators.

Notes: Client has been remodeling in the house for two weeks prior to the investigation.

 

Clay County Paranormal Research Society Final Report:

Based on the evidence collect from three investigations,

 “Electronic Voice Phenomena, Electro Magnetic Fields and Photographs”

CCPRS has concluded,  

             The 100 year old farm house owned by Mr. Webb, holds  

                                      “Paranormal Activity ”

EVPS captured during investigation, the selections are of Male voice, Female voice and children' s voices, the most remarkable EVP to date is clip 12 where you hear the name "ELLA" the name Ella appears in the historical findings done on the first investigation on Oct 2008, the orginial owners of this house dates back to the late 1890's, census records shows in the 1900's an Elmer and Ella Balkey are listed at located owned by Mr. Webb. Records also indicted that Ella died in the house while living with her son Harley Balkey.

In clip 42, you will hear what sounds to be a seem to be a banging sound on the keys of a piano, however this is a vacant house and no piano is present. We could find no explaination for the sound captured on the EVP, and we did not hear the sound during our investigation therefore we cannot explain it.

January 2009 Investigation of the Webb House

Investigation #2 Webb House

This was a second Investigation into the Webb House the two investigators for this night were Debbe and Mitzi.

This was Mitzi's first investigation and Debbe was showing her how a typical investigation is conducted. This investigation took place in January 2009 and the outside temperature was 20 degrees and inside temp was 35 to 40 degrees...there was no heat in the house since it has been in remodeling stages....

The investigation started in the parlor, where we began with talking to the presence/s in the room, we had digital recorders on. Then moved to each room of the house....the initial findings did not seem to be capturing any EVP’s, however in the hallway we noticed very high EMF readings 3.1 to 4.0 and the meter would go from green to red. 

In the Attic we also notice high EMF readings....we could find no explanation to the high reading. Cold spots were detected by both investigators as well as a feeling of uneasiness; it seemed the presences moved from one investigator to the other as well as in between.

The investigation continued throughout the cold house as we moved from room to room...Mitzi and Debbe chatted about different things ignoring whatever may be in each room....several times the EMF detector would go from green to red, even though we had check the entire rooms prior to entering to get a base reading in each room.

Whatever was in the house followed the investigators from room to room.  Mitzi saw a black figure move across the living room to the parlor and began to feel very uneasy by a presence that seems to be very close to her. In order to feel more comfortable Mitzi placed her back against the wall closet to her. At the same time Debbe felt something brush up against the right side and a very cold spot was present. Although no presence was seen by Debbe however Debbe also decide to put her back against the wall as Debbe stood talking to Mitzi....Debbe felt a slight tug on the left side her hair...Debbe's comment on this personal experience, "it started me but then again I had been touched before in the house prior to this investigation...."

Mitzi felt she did not want to go anywhere else in the house at this time and due to the cold inside and out of the house the investigation wrapped up at 11:35pm to pack up equipment go get coffee and get out of the cold.

During the investigation a walk around was done out side the house several EVP's were captured with high EMF readings however on the North side the EMF readings were high due to an electric wiring into the house.

The South side of house captured a child’s voice was near the parlor window and no electric wires or explanation for the high EMF readings in this area.

Additional Notes: On this first investigation done in Oct 2008 we capture many EVPS but no high EMF readings....since winter the house has not had any additional construction done...the EVP's capture during the second investigation were very different from the first ones...the second investigation had high EMF reading and the first investigation has high number of clear EVPS...so my question is why high EMF reading and different disembodied voices...and first investigation while the house was under heavy construction and the 2nd investigations less if any work had been done in the house prior to 2nd investigations...

Could the theory about houses under construction produce more paranormal activity? 

This house holds paranormal activity and I would say is clearly haunted. I am very curious to see how the next investigation into the paranormal activity of this house turns up....

October 2008 Investigation of the Webb House

 

Picture
The Webb House Oct 2008

This investigation was done at a house of a friend, Debbe has known for over 27 years.

One day while visiting the house he was remodeling, Debbe explained to him that she was part of a team who explores the area of paranormal activity, his face lights up as he smiled and said well this house is the creepiest one you'll ever find. He told Debbe about his experiences in house while remodeling...

He said he felt like he was being watched while he was working...he also while stripping paint and removing the window frames he smelt perfume, he only smelt perfume in the parlor. He also claimed to see faces in the reflections in the windows as if someone was looking in and watching him. He claims to be aware this was a 100 year old farm house and was able to give Debbe some of the previous owners the Balkey's.  The picture above is the actual house.

Debbef ound pictures on ancestry.com, after we conducted the first investigation did I began the research. I do not like to know too much of history of a house prior to an investigation, I do not want anything to influence any findings during an investigation.
The history on a house or land comes after to validate the experiences once all the findings have been completed, EVP's, pictures, video's etc.  The picture above is the Balkey Family standing next to the house Mr. Webb now owns.
The team of investigators arrived at the house at 6pm; Mr. Webb gave a tour of the house and explained his personal experiences with us. Once Mr. Webb left the house to our safe keeping we set up the equipment. 


EMF readings and temps were taken throughout house and outside for a baseline should we get any spikes or difference in temp readings.

Dayna and I started in the parlor while Marsha and Carlina started outside. This was my first paranormal investigation with KCPI as part of the team.
www.kansascityparanormalinvestigations.com (keeping it friendly) As the investigation got underway we began to ask simple questions and took EMF readings, after about 20 mins I suggest we go to another room which Dayna agreed, as I was getting up from the floor where we had been sitting I felt a brush against my face, ear and movement of my hair on the left side. I said what the hell was that...Dayna responded by did you get touched and at that time I was unsure of what just happened. I discounted it but shared my experience with the others. The attic was also a place of discomfort for both Marsha and Dayna, both seeing shadows towards the back above where the parlor would be located. Marsha captured an EVP of a child outside near the bedroom. The rest of the night seemed pretty uneventful and the investigation was rapped up at 11:30pm.
