Since then, the health of the owners has continued to deteriorate and the activity has increased. They contacted us and have requested that we return to do a deeper, more thorough investigation, as they are now contemplating selling due to the uneasiness of the activity.
I suggested to the owner the idea of placing a salt water cure in their home. A Feng Shui method which claims to help remove negative energies and sickness from a place. The owner, willing to try anything, placed the cure in her hallway, as directed, about one month ago.
In the past month, there has been an increasing number of reports of witnessed activity, not only by the owners, but from guests who have visited them.
Coincidence - I think not!
I asked for the names and numbers of the guests and have since interviewed them and the owners for recounts of what they had experienced.
All I can say is ... how soon can I get back there?
So after the last investigation, according to the owners, the dense feeling of someone being present continued. The shadows continued to flash up and down the hallways and the sensation of someone sitting on the bed was still prevalent, but the alleged increased activity since placing the salt water cure in the house, has been somewhat a little more rattling!
On three separate occasions and at approximately 1.00am in the morning, the doorbell has been rung, but when the video was checked, no one was present. On another occasion, the wire security door has been vigorously rattled, as if someone is trying to get in the house. Again, nothing on the video.
There has been banging on windows from the outside and banging of furniture and doors from inside the house. This is alleged to be happening almost on a daily basis.
You may recall from the last blog that my son was sleeping in a spare bedroom and he rose to ask "Why I had got out of bed in a hurry", well ..... it is in this room that the owner alleges the light has been turning on by itself. Just last week, he was in bed in the room at one end of the hallway and at the other end is the spare room. Whilst lying in bed at about 2.00am, the light in the spare room turned on. He rose from the bed and went in to check if someone was in there - the room was empty, so he turned the light off and returned to bed to only have it turn itself back on within minutes. Again he rose ..... feeling a little bit unsure and uneasy ..... he turned it off, closed the door and returned to his room and closed his door. The owner admits to feeling rather 'spooked' by this occurrence.
Another recount, is that from their eleven year old grand daughter. At least three times, she has been sitting in the lounge room (opposite the salt water cure) and told her grandparents she has seen a black cat scoot down the hallway and when she follows it, it just disappears. She has also told them she has seen shadows and felt the bed move when she has slept over.
The owner of the house has a number of macrame pieces and dreamcatchers in her home. There is a black one which has been hanging on her bedroom wall just outside the ensuite bathroom. It has hung in that location for at least twelve months. After the latest doorbell incident, which was less than a week ago, she woke the following morning to find the macrame piece on the floor. The owner picked it up and rehung it on the wall. She then proceeded out of her room and began to walk down the hallway (the hallway where the cat has been seen, the shadows, the orbs and the one where I felt the gust of air thrust past me) only to find two other pieces lying on the floor. The two pieces were either side of the salt water cure. She chose not to rehang these two.
The following morning, the black macrame piece was on the floor once again. The owner rehung it and checked the hook. She checked on the hanging a number of times throughout the day and into the evening - there was no movement. She retreated to bed about midnight and watched the hanging until she fell asleep, which she states was about 1.30am. That means the wall hanging had remained in tact for over 18 hours. She awoke at 6.00am to find the hanging on the floor once more. Unusual - definitely!
When sitting in the kitchen, an adult male visitor has claimed to hear voices and footsteps down the hallway. The owner has also claimed that on at least two occasions, she has heard voices coming from the hallway and in her bedroom. Today she said that when she entered her room she distinctly heard two, what she thought were children, talking. This stopped just after she entered the room.
Another visitor to the home claims that when sitting in the kitchen, the television has turned on and the volume has been adjusted, yet the remote was on the couch. The male owner has also validated this claim.
So did this salt water cure cause increased activity?
Is this a poltergeist?
Are they trying to get the owners' attention?
Why are they here and why are they doing this?
We need to find out!!
Part 3 coming soon ........
