Location:           Private residence in Parma, OH
Date:                   November 10, 2007
Time:                  7:00 PM-2:00 AM
Investigators:   John, Bea, Greg, Kathy, and Jake

Location Description: Eleven hundred square foot, two-story, one family colonial,
residential home built in 1952. The house is located on a quiet residential street. There is a
detached garage at the rear of the home. Occupied by two adults, Frank and Sue* and two
nine year old children, one boy and one girl. There are no pets in the home.

Paranormal Activity Reported: Sue purchased the property in September 2004. The activity
has gone on sporadically for the past couple of years, but has increased dramatically over
the past couple of months.

The following is a list of activity that has been reported over the past several months.

First floor– In the kitchen there is a Jesus figurine on top of a cabinet that turns on it’s own.
The figurine use to belong to Frank’s grandfather who passed away about three years ago.
The figurine will face the window if it is sunny outside, but will turn away when it is gloomy.

First floor– The rocking chair in the living room has been seen by witnesses rocking on its
own.

First floor– Sometimes when Frank is alone he will hear heavy footsteps coming from the
hallway on the second floor. Frank states it sounds like someone is angry and stomping
around.

Second floor– The bathroom door will open on it’s own when the door is shut and someone
is taking a shower. There is also a strong feeling that there is someone in the bathroom with
them. Shadowy figures have also been seen. The room will get cold when the door opens.
(Investigators checked the door to see if it could slip open on its own. The door is hard to
close, and if it is not closed all the way it could open up. However if the door is closed all the
way the doorknob is hard to turn and the door is difficult to open).

Second floor– Recently Sue’s 9-year-old daughter stated, “I think we have a ghost”. When
asked why, the daughter stated because she heard someone calling “mommy”. The daughter
was never told about the house being possibly haunted.

Basement– There is a treadmill that was purchased at a garage sale in the laundry room in
the basement. The treadmill is kept in the southwest corner of the room. Sometimes Frank
feels as if someone is breathing on his neck when he is using the treadmill. He has also been
tapped on the shoulder while on the treadmill. Shadowy figures have been seen and there is
always a feeling that someone is watching you. Frank also heard a male voice saying “get
out”.

Basement– There is also a bathroom in the basement where shadows are also seen while
they are taking showers.

Investigative Evidence: Investigators had several unexplained things happen, including
intense feelings at the top of the stairs on the second floor, temperature drops and EMF
spikes.
