Today's Post will be dedicated to the opinions about our Pasadena investigation.
Dave: This was a very interesting case. The homeowners had performed some investigative work on their own before calling paranormal groups. They recorded on a Sony camcorder with infrared capabilities. While we informed them that we could not treat their recording as evidence, (strict PPS rule) we would review the footage. Rex cleaned the video as best as he could and one sectioned intrigued the group. Our preliminary investigation had sufficient, clear EVP to warrant a full investigation.
Even though the night was disastrous for audio, (down pouring rain) we did receive several good names to work on and enough audio evidence to ask the homeowner for a return investigation. I am holding off on my impressions of the activity until after the conclusion of the second investigation, but with our decision to involve the homeowners in the second round, I hope to add some video evidence to the volumes of audio we have collected so far.
Jake: Wow! Bodkin was such a great case to serve as my second with PPS.
First off, it was great that the residents of the home are inquisitive, yet rational, people who took the initiative to "investigate" a bit on their own before contacting us. They catalogued the times of the day/evening when activity reached its peak. They used their personal mini DV recorder to capture some activity that turned out to be very helpful to the PPS investigation. I think it is fair to say that it cannot be stressed enough that anyone who may be thinking of contacting PPS for a possible investigation should spend a few days/weeks keeping a journal of what times activity occurs in the residence/office and what types of activity is taking place. That kind of information can go a long way in either debunking or validating anything PPS catches during an investigation.
Regarding the evidence captured at Bodkin, we ended up with so many good EVPs (and yours truly even experienced a disembodied voice). The research that accompanied the evidence validated a few pieces of evidence, and brought up many more questions regarding the possibility of more than one or two entities still taking up residence in the home. I enjoyed participating in my first evidence review session with David and Rex as it opened my eyes to how tough it is to complete an investigation from the preliminary interviews all the way to the reveal. Not to brag, but I thought that PPS did a great job and we definitely enjoyed meeting the residents of the home.
James: For my first investigation I couldn't have asked for a better place. Very small yet plenty to search. The evidence was awesome. I'm glad we have a chance to go back.
Rex: This was a great investigation, the clients were very cooperative, not only documenting their experiences but recording some. It was raining during most of the investigation which made audio analysis difficult but we were still able to get several good EVPs. Unfortunately there was no picture or video evidence. We did have a few personal experiences Jake heard a disembodied voice, which he originally thought was Colleen. Audio evidence verified that it was not her voice. We also got a response when Crystal asked for a spirit to "knock three times". I was in the doorway of the bedroom and immediately after the request there was a loud slam right outside the room. Upon reviewing the audio we heard 2 more knocks, this audio clip can be heard on the EVPs page Here. I want to thank our clients and say that I look forward to the follow up investigation we have planned.
