WINERY AT LAGRANGE
Pre-investigation interview reported a light
in one of the windows where there was nobody (and no electricity) in the house. Voices had been heard.
A glass had levitated and slammed to the floor. In the basement lounge a worker had been touched on the
shoulder. · 1st
Investigation: Heard front door open and footsteps come up stairs—checked and no one there. Audio
in basement lounge revealed sounds of chairs and tables moving. · 2nd investigation: Only
2 investigators in house when we heard a conversation on the other side of the room. Again heard door open
and footsteps when we went to investigate we found a VERY strong odor of cigar smoke. No smoke, just the
odor. Again audio revealed movement in the basement. · 3rd Investigation: At 11:30
pm, while team was in one room with only 1 walkie-talkie there (the other 3 were on the bar downstairs, only 1 of those was
on) we heard a child’s voice come over the walkie-talkie. No one else was in the house.
In the basement, audio again revealed movement but this time also included electronic feedback and
undetermined ‘cry’. · 4th Investigation: 7:00—9:00 PM Upon review of the video from
the basement, it was noted that the camera seemed to move up and down and the sound of a chair moving was heard on the tape. 9:00—10:30
PM Darla and Jill moved to the office area over the kitchen where we continued to do an EVP session until
Heather joined us and we eventually went to sit in the front room of the basement. While there we heard
what sounded like 2 metal pipes being hit against each other. We also heard what we thought to be footsteps
on the stairwell, but no one was there. 10:30—12:00 PM Steve heard what he thought were voices
coming from the kitchen. Norman believed he heard a thump coming from the basement but nothing was found. 12:00—1:30
AM Team was upstairs in the candle room. In the lobby, the video camera picked up the
sound of a door closing followed a few moments later by a voice saying "Wow" and then by the camera moving up and
down. An unidentified light source was also seen on the film, near the K-2 EMF device on the bar.

Counter being used that evening.)
Final Conclusion: The Winery at LaGrange
does have paranormal activity.

BUCKLAND HOUSE 1
Interview revealed reports of a figure seen coming down the stairs about 10:00 each evening.
Also the figure of a man in a long dark coat was seen on the grounds. · 1st
Investigation: While sitting in a
room downstairs, one investigator saw a black mass move by the window outside. When we ran out, there was
nothing there. (It was still daylight.) Also a photo was taken that revealed a cloudiness
in the room. All other photos taken by that camera, and others, were clear. A cold spot
formed around one of the investigators in one of the upstairs rooms. On a subsequent visit to the property,
one investigator thought he saw something in the front yard and when he went to check it out, near the front door he encountered
a significant cold spot…”like walking into a freezer”. · 2nd Investigation: During the evening, we experienced numerous
electronic oddities. One of the walkie-talkies triggered. Other team members were asked if they were trying to
communicate...none were. A digital camera that was turned off, turned on by itself, and an EMF meter activated while
lying on a bench, then turned itself off. One of the investigators saw a shadow go past the front door at the same time
another investigator on the balcony saw something move in the front yard. Additional note: Two days after the
investigation a friend of the owner was in the house and went up to the bathroom. He found steam-like moisture on the
mirror and walls, as if someone had taken a shower. There is only one window in the room and it was closed. As
a follow-on, two investigators stayed in the house overnight. Other than what one investigator thought to be a
spoken whisper, nothing was experienced. All experiences inside the house, although unusual, cannot be determined to
be paranormal. At this time, we don't anticipate further investigations at this property in the near future, unless
requested by the owner.

BUCKLAND HOUSE 2
Interview report revealed a figure had been seen in an upstairs bedroom and in the living room. The
sound of dishes crashing in the kitchen was heard in an upstairs bedroom, but when they ran downstairs nothing was wrong.
The sound of a door closing has also been heard. · 1st Investigation:
While the investigators were split into two teams we heard sounds of footsteps
in the hallway between the rooms. At another time, the family cat was in the room with one team and
the cat also reacted to sounds outside the door. Radio communication confirmed there was no one else on
that level of the house. A bathroom doorway was observed standing open when the team went into one of the
bedrooms, when they came out the door was closed. Upon review of the recorders we found out that during
an EVP session when I asked the question, “Did you work with General Custer? (No Response)
“Or maybe Jeb Stuart?” (Response….”Yes……Yes”.)
Interim Investigation: Two of the investigators spent a little over an hour at the house in mid-October.
During an EVP session in the same room, we got another voice response. I asked for the entity to make the lights on
the K-2 EMF meter light up. We heard: 'Whatcha got there?......How old are they?. See audo clip below.
2nd Investigation: October, 2009. While at the house the investigators had several personal experiences. While
in one of the upstairs bedrooms, two of the investigators heard footsteps outside the door. Also, while sitting in the
library, looking into the living room, one of the investigators saw a black shadow move from left to right. (See
the photo gallery page.) Immediately after, we picked up multiple K2 and EMF hits in the area. Also, while
the team was in the library, we heard the front door latch jiggle and the family dog reacted 'strongly' to the noise.
No one was there. There was an alarm from a motion sensor placed in the upstairs hallway. All people and pets
were accounted for at that time.
3rd Investigation: June 2010. While at the house the
investigators had several personal experiences: In the upstairs bedroom (baby’s room) two of the investigators were
doing an EVP session and when they asked if the entity had ever gone to the tavern for a drink they heard a disembodied voice
say “Oh Yeah”. Later when the other team was in the same room they asked if there were any pretty barmaids at the tavern and got
a “Yes” response. Shortly afterward one of the investigators thought that he felt a tug at his shirt when there was nobody near him.
While
in the kitchen, the whole team was present when one of the two-way radios gave off what sounded like a loud alarm.
Both radios were on but the sound only came from one radio. While in the basement the audio picked up a breath
that was not one of us.

BUCKLAND TAVERN
History: Building was used as a coachman's tavern in the late 1700s and early 1800s and as
a hospital during the Civil War.
During the evening,
the investigators experienced several instances of hearing footsteps in the entrance hallway and on the stairway. Two investigators said that they experienced very uneasy feelings in that area. While sitting in the living room, two investigators believed they heard whispers. A
review of the audio tape revealed those whispers but we were unable to distinguish what was being said. About 12:00 am, while two of the investigators were doing an EVP session in the dining room, the audio
revealed that when we asked the question “Are you a member of the Samuel Love family?” The
response was, “Yes”. Another EVP seemed to say, "We dont belong down here."
Photographs revealed multiple orbs. Two photos had what could
be called “Orb Storms”. One photo revealed what was at first thought to be a figure, but
upon closer examination, was found to be a light reflection phenomenon.
On our latest investigation in
May 2009 the following was found: During an EVP session in the basement audio picked up the sound of a footstep
and when we asked, ’can you tell us your name’, we got a whispered, “No”.
While in the dining room, we heard the sound of footsteps from upstairs.
The only other person in the house came through the room moments later to go to this bedroom. The two teams were based in the dining room and living room. In the living room, Steve sensed a cold
area and was looking for his temperature gun. When he told Jill that he had found it a voice said, “Let
me see.” While in the dining room the rest of the team heard footsteps coming from the hallway and
kitchen. Several times during the investigation the recorder picked up an unidentified breath
or noise. During the time that we were on a break in the kitchen one recorder was left running in the living
room. There were several instances of unidentified noises close to the recorder.
During the June 2010 Investigation: While setting up the video camera in the kitchen, we all heard the
back door latch jiggle. When Steve checked it, he saw that it was still slightly moving. A short time later, Steve and Norman were sitting at the card table
in the basement when they heard noises coming from the back room. When they went back there, the noises
seemed to move to the front. At one point we left a recorder in the area between the two basement rooms
while we were all upstairs and it picked up a ‘lot’ of movement. When the video evidence was reviewed footsteps were heard on the main staircase.
All team members were accounted for.

Doctor Brown House
History: House
built in 1793. Was used as a children’s hospital as well as a military hospital during the Civil
War. Reports of hearing children laughing and playing when no children in the house, a lampshade spinning,
‘creepy’ feelings in one bedroom, basement and dining room. Feelings of being watched while
showering in upstairs
bathroom. While doing walk-through, we heard loud knock from corner of
kitchen. We were only ones in the room.
Arrived shortly after 6:00pm. Held a planning session in the kitchen where photos revealed a wooden cupboard with all doors closed at 6:30pm.
During a break at 9:45pm, the bottom right hand door of the cupboard was found to be open. Steve
closed the door and then stomped on the floor in front of it, slapped the sides, but could not get the door to open on its
own. 9:00pm—9:30pm:
The team split up and while one investigator was in the living
room and the other two were in the dining room, the video camera that was set up in the kitchen and pointing toward the front
door, picked up a voice saying, “How can I help you?” 9:30pm-10:30pm: The team was covering the upstairs bedrooms. While doing an EVP session in the bedroom to the left
of the stairs, Darla was sitting on the dresser and asked if anyone there could come close to the green light on the K2 meter,
and make them all light up….the lights did begin flashing. Darla called for Steve and Jill to come
from the other room to verify the findings. Using 2 different EMF meters we tracked
the EMF reading to the corner at the end of the dresser where both meters registered off the scale. Steve
checked the readings from the outlet on the adjoining wall and found them to be minimal. He tracked readings
back to the corner and they remained minimal until he was about 1 1/2 feet from the corner where they again went off the scale.
Audio revealed a voice that seemed to be saying, “Mother”. 11:00pm—12:30am: The team was based in the basement with Jill and Steve in the room with the stove and Darla was sitting on the bed in
the room at the foot of the stairs. In the kitchen the video camera was recording the cupboard to see if
the door would open again when the audio picked up the voice of a small child and that of an adult woman.
There were no children present that evening. It is uncertain if the sound of the woman’s voice
is one of the investigators. Photos taken during
the evening revealed an unidentified arc at the stairrail, and a shadow in the living room.
Investigation #2:
7:30 pm—9:30 pm: Darla and Heather were in the upstairs child’s
bedroom while Steve and Jill were in the living room. A thunderstorm was just starting when both Jill and
Heather experience a loud feedback coming from their audio recorders while using headsets. Steve and I
were not using headsets and did not have the problem. After speaking with 3 different electronics experts,
we confirmed that regular headsets should not have caused the feedback, even during a thunderstorm. One of the recorders picked up an unknown electronic beeping as well as three loud thumps. 10:00pm—1:00am while in the living room, Darla and Heather were doing an EVP
session and began to receive direct responses on the K-2 meter when asked if they were happy with what Terri had done with
the house. For the first time, we were using dowsing rods as a part of the investigation.
While we were taking a break in the kitchen, Steve was using the dowsing rods to track Jill as she tried to get the
child entity to follow her around the room.
