HPI Chronicles: The Phantom Lady in Black
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager

Somewhere in Roseville, there is a home near a creek. The creek area is a place that I am very familiar with, because I have investigated this creek area one year ago. People claim to have seen American native Indian ghosts, ghosts of settlers and a demonic entity with red eyes that has the ability to fly. So when the occupant Michael Davis tells me his home is haunted, I have the tendency to believe him.

The date is October 17, 2009, Saturday. Paranormal Investigators that show up for this investigation are: Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager; Tammy Straling Case Manager/Lead; Connie Brenner Lead (En-Vision Paranormal); Lynn Combs Lead (En-Vision Paranormal); Donna Reynolds Psychic; Jennifer Kavanagh; Kira Nance; John Marsh aka Johnny Worlock Hearse Driver; Bunny Ensign; Tiffany Gonzales.

Michaels briefing of the activity about this house is as follows: Michael never liked this house. He moved in this house in 2005. He remembers hearing his named called and the female voice sounded like it was right next to his ear. One of Michaels daughters saw an entity with a scary face. Michael feels he is sensitive and may pick up on the paranormal more than an average person would. One of his daughters felt something press down on her hip. His daughter Megan once saw a full body apparition at another home, near his home. The two ghosts that haunt his home are an adult woman and a child. The woman ghost has mousy short brown hair and wears an outfit that is all black, the outfit that she wears seems to be shapeless and her hairdo could possibly be from the 20s. Michael goes on to tell us that sometimes you can hear footsteps along the stairwell.

Michael has done his own EVP work, the EVPs he has recorded are:
3 thumps noise EVP.
Male voice inaudible EVP.
Chair moving noise EVP.
Thud noise EVP.
Unexplained noise EVP.
Faint voice EVP.
Moan EVP.
Youre a good puppy EVP and the sound of petting the dog. Note: He has a beautiful yellow lab named Liberty.
Cough noise EVP.

One of the worse things that happened to Michael is he was held down by the shoulders and the entity bounced him up and down on the bed, while this was happening, he heard a growling noise.

One night he felt like something was trying to rip his back apart and trying to get inside him. Michael was able to deal with this by saying the Lords Prayer.

Other activity is the bed feels like it is vibrating, shadows have been seen moving about and the salt shaker was moved around in the kitchen.

Tonight there will be one hour investigations and the leads will take their team into three different areas of this house and after each hour, there will be a briefing to see what type of paranormal activity we have captured visually or audibly. Each team will cover all three areas of the home, by the end of the night.

During our first briefing we discovered that 2 investigators took pictures of what looks like the same orb in movement. The orb moves right to left and left to right, it does not fall down like a regular dust orb. Lynn captures a possible EVP. The EVP is of a mans voice and it is inaudible. When Lynn says Can you give us a sign that you are here? Lynns recorder stops for no apparent reason.

As I write this in real time, we are on the second session briefing and I learn that Bunny and Jennifer may have taken the picture of the very same moving orb with two different cameras. Kira took a picture of 3 orbs moving in unison from left to right. A lot more designer orbs were taken and when we enhanced Tiffanys picture of a designer orb, there appears to be a face inside the orb. Lynn obtained an EVP that sounded like a mans voice (inaudible). I obtained an EVP that may have been a mans voice saying live here. We heard a few knockings on the 2nd floor. The people that heard the knockings were me, Tammy and the occupant named Michael. When Lynn says can you give us a sign that you are here? Lynns recorder stopped for no apparent reason. Many shadow photos were taken and 2nd shots were taken, the shadows are gone. The flash from the cameras should eliminate all shadows, but yet the shadows were there. Donna felt an electrical light touch on her arms. Tammy felt a cold spot. Lynns EMF reader jumped to 10 and then later spikes to 100. We utilized dowsing rods and the dowsing rods indicated that there is a small child and a woman entity in the home. The woman and child entities are not American Indian, but the male entity claims to be Indian and is the spirit guide for Michael. Connie and Johnny saw strange flashes from their peripheral vision.

Note: Orbs do not indicate paranormal activity, unless we can determine intelligent movement. Some of the orbs displayed anomalies in their movement. Dowsing rods and the use of psychics is a tool that we utilize and we try to back up the possible activity indicated by dowsing rods and psychics with video footage, photography and EVPs.

The third session investigation is a free-for-all and the investigators are able to move about the house freely on their own.

Michaels daughter Michaela showed up at 11pm and she tells us that she has heard strange laughter. She has heard pages from a book flipping and one time when she walked into her sisters room, she heard a loud gasp.

During the third session, we only obtained more orb photos. I finalized this evening with a Catholic blessing. I walked around with Michael and as I did my blessing, I would ask Michael if he wants the entity here and he would say no, that he wanted them gone. My blessings utilize the hedge-of-protection prayer for the family and home, the 4 Winds Prayer, banishing the entities to the 4 winds - into the light, crucifix and holy water.
