5. What technical observations did you note during the investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
Mary: The KII meter randomly spiked slightly in a couple areas without a natural source being found.
6. What sensitive observations did you note during the investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
Mary: When we first arrived and passed by the door leading to the shop area, I felt definite energy just inside the door. Later when our team went into the shop, I could sense the presence of an older man toward the very bottom of the stairs, close to a storage area. While sometimes I am able to see entities in detail, this was not the case on this investigation, but his presence was definite. Over in the back corner of the shop, I felt definite energy by a car the point that I actually put my hand on it. However, there was nothing. The area, though, had a definite male energy. Often we get some communication from entities on site, but both Verna and I felt that we would not get any as this entity (or entities) seemed to keep moving. The other area that I felt a lot of energy in was the back office. When walking into that room, I felt a definite "surly" male energy near the door on the right. This wall is in common with a storage closet that when opened, had a very strong almost malevolent feel. It was strong enough that Verna and I had to close the door and move from there immediately. Leter when we returned with the rest of the group to the closet, the area was completely benign. Once again the entity(ies) had moved on without any communication. There was one other thing that I noted: a yellow-handled tool that looked like something to take off lug nuts from a tire. This felt to me like it had some minor energy connected with it.
7. What researched/historical information did you learn about this location? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
Mary: One of the SPIRITS' members has had ties with this business for many years. We learned after revealing our findings that there was a rather surly male that had worked there for many years who had kept his car in the same spot where the other car now sat. We also discovered that often the owner of the car, when he was working on it, felt the presence of this man watching him. When revealing information about this man, the office manager stated this former employee would have thought that paranormal investigation would be a waste of time and would have not agreed to having it done. This could explain his reluctance to communicate with us. Another entity often felt was the former owner of the business who has been seen too. There is also a third entity who is often felt who ran the shop and who was related to the SPIRITS team member.

9. What issues does the review team need to address with the occupant (homeowner, business owner, resident)? What aspects of the investigation need to be re-addressed, retested, or clarified?
The closet area at the end of the hall needs to have additional testing done with EMF as does the adjacent room, to include EVP work as well. I would recheck the shop area where the car is and do more EVP there also. I think that with less people investigating, that there is a better chance that one (or more) of the entities will be more willing to cooperate in communication.
10. Is there any other information that you would like to add about this investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
Mary: Les had a large, very detailed orb show in one of his pictures of the top of the stairs in the shop. This could not be recreated and there was nothing that could have caused any type of reflection that we could find. This was a unique opportunity to investigate a rather large business with a history of several hauntings. It was also unique since one of our members had actually been associated with it continually since it was built.

Verna Peddi Garage area felt sensation that something was there. Old car in rear, felt a lot of energy there at the car. Felt energy around the black tool box in the same back corner as the car. Parts Alcove felt very unbalanced. Felt a pain in my left arm near the car by the blue lift. The pain was between my fore arm and wrist. Was told later that the original owner had a malformed left arm same area as the pain. Drill with metal shavings around it, picked up that there may have been an accident in the building. Felt strange sensation in the men's bathroom. Desk in garage area had a lot of energy. Felt as if an haggardly old man was sitting there kind of annoyed and smoking. He felt over worked and irritated. Blue office had a lot of energy. Felt an energy that could not leave. Had either an attachment due to the building or due to a relative. Orange office, no energy. Paneled office did not get a good feeling. This was the chiropractic room. Second paneled room, felt nothing. Felt energy in the hall way. Utility closet at the end of the hall contained a lot of bad energy. After returning to it, it had disappeared.

Erin: When I was on the stairs in the garage, about 3 or 4 steps up, the EMF meter went off. I placed it hear the walls, the floor, and checked for any other electrical devices that could have set it off, and was unable to make it go off again.
6. What sensitive observations did you note during the investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
Erin: When I was in the garage area, near the exit door, I started to feel like my chest was tight. I went over by the car and felt very uneasy. Then I went up into the attic and also felt very uneasy, my head was swimming. Later, after we reconvened in the conference room and were talking, my neck started to hurt quite a bit. It dissipated after about ten minutes and did not return. When we went back to the car area, I had the tightness in my chest again, and it was hard to breathe. In the back corner office that no one wanted to go into, I felt as if I was being watched from behind my right shoulder when I was sitting at the desk during the EVP session.

I feel that it might be helpful to go back with just a small group of people, maybe 3 or 4, and do a recheck. The spirit(s) seemed to keep moving away from the group, so maybe a very small group would be beneficial. Also, because some of the group members are acquainted with the place, if they investigated alone they might find they get much more cooperation.
10. Is there any other information that you would like to add about this investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
Erin: For my first investigation, it was definitely interesting. There seemed to be a good amount of activity, although unfortunately it didn't seem interested in communicating. I hope the group can continue to check this location in the hopes of gathering some data.

Images out of focus.
5. What technical observations did you note during the investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
During the investigation, the batteries on the Ovilus kept dying. All of the equipment, which had been fine when I last used it two weeks prior, was drained. All batteries had to be replaced during the investigation and the computer had to be recharged. I could understand this if I hadn't been on an investigation in months, but most of the equipment had been used in the past month, shut off, and safely stored. I do not know why this happened. During one of the Puck sessions, the computer went to "rest" mode without any real reason. It had just been used and simply shut down. It took nearly a minute to get the computer to reactivate. This was near the car, where everyone felt something had happened. When reviewing the data, the EVP had a lot of digital sounding noise in the background for one EVP (taken in the storage area). Several of my photographs came out blurred for reasons unknown. The blurred images only showed up in the storage room, near the car, and in the closet.
6. What sensitive observations did you note during the investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
I recall making two "dark" remarks and I'm not sure why I made them. One was as I walked down the stairs in the garage. I commented that this would be a perfect place to commit suicide as the rafters and ropes were already there (this even surprised me). Near the car, I did say that I felt that something had happened there and I believe I asked if someone had died in conjunction with the car, though this made no sense to me. The car was an obvious kit car (which I also stated out loud) and it was in good condition (though covered with dust). Upstairs I felt heat leave from my hands -- a sign to me that something is about to happen or that my energy is being drained. This sensation really only seems to happen on ghost investigations or during religious ceremonies (another member explained that we have chakra energy in our hands. Mental note: must research this. As an artist I use my hands to sculpt and often feel as if I do channel myself into my art to a certain degree. Perhaps the two are related). I had the impression that the entities were attempting to avoid us. Every time we came into an area where they were sensed, they would move and the sensations would stop. I do wonder if the "Puck" got something with the idea of the car question -- one of the answers was that it was "built".
7. What researched/historical information did you learn about this location? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
One of our members has worked there for nearly 30 years. I did learn that 2 employees died, though not on the property. The two offices that caused several members to feel odd were added on after the initial building was created. I also learned the reason for the reaction to the car -- one of the employees who died, a very temperamental man -- stored his car in the exact spot where the kit car was. The car sat there for years after his death until it was towed out and taken off the property. One employee who reports phenomena says that he feels the ghost of the man who owned the car often when he is working on the kit car. Tools are also heard moving in the garage area. At least two ghosts are seen. Both men had similar tempers and were friends in life. Neither would have liked what we were doing and would have considered it "bull". The third ghost is the father of the employee who also worked at the company for a time. I'm not sure that he was a long time presence there for us that night. Most everything else I did try to document in the notes which I'll post.

9. What issues does the review team need to address with the occupant (homeowner, business owner, resident)? What aspects of the investigation need to be re-addressed, retested, or clarified?
I wish that there was some way of addressing the entities to find out WHY they are there. Their avoidances of us was a bit frustrating.
10. Is there any other information that you would like to add about this investigation? For purposes of categorizing data, please post your first name, followed by your response.
I would like to know what happened in the week after the investigation -- did things get worse or settle down?
