Unfortunately, in Michigan, we get some crazy weather. The winter months can be unpredictable, but it's usually very cold and very snowy. We would love to be able to investigate all year long. However, our investigations usually require us to sit outside with our equipment and team members. With the cold and snow, that is unsafe for both us and our equipment. We are willing to investigate, especially for emergencies, with some conditions..
Residence - The only way we can conduct a normal investigation for a residence is if the home has either an attached garage that we can set up in, or the house is big enough we can properly set up somewhere inside.
Business - For a business, again, as long as we have somewhere out of the elements to set up, we can investigate. An office, breakroom.. somewhere far enough from the active areas that we won't interfere with the investigation.
For emergencies, please just contact us and we'll figure something out.
Thanks for understanding!

Old building with a lot of history. Employees have seen and heard things. One has seen a woman in an olden time dress, seen a mist.. seen what looked to be a child running around and playing. They've heard their name being called, witnesses have seen objects flying off shelves, and have had strange things happen in some of the guest rooms.
We had 4 cameras recording.. IR cam 1 & 2: in the two 3rd floor guest rooms, where a big part of the activity is; IR cam 3: in a 2nd floor guest room, where we heard footsteps as we were setting up; IR cam 4: in the 2nd floor hallway, where passerbys see people standing in the windows.
We had 4 voice recorders running.. one in each 3rd floor guest room, one in the 2nd floor guest room, and the 4th was carried around by teams as they investigated. We also had 2 EMF detectors, a thermal detector, 2 digital thermometers, and digital cameras.. along with our other usual equipment.
We got to the location at 9:00 pm. After talking with the owners and getting a full tour of the place, we set up "central base" in one of the guest rooms on the 2nd floor. Once we had the cameras set up and running.. we took photos, temp. and EMF readings. Then we went lights out. We took about 30 minutes of silent treatment before the first team of 3 went inside for their session..

As we were standing in the hallway on the 2nd floor, outside of the room we were setting up in, Martin and I heard footsteps or what sounded like someone walking around in the only guest room behind us. We both stopped in our tracks and turned around, expecting to see someone standing down the hall. When we knew no one was there, we went down and into the room the footsteps were coming from. No one was in there.. or none of us, anyway!
My second hunt of the night overshadowed the first by far. We started in the hallway and worked our way down to room 15. Upon being in there 10-15 minutes, we could hear noises coming from the hall. Tammy went to the doorway and while looking toward the end, she could see something moving. A few minute later, I heard a woman's voice, minutes after that I heard heavy breathing, one in-one out. It was very loud and sounded as though it were someone breathing through a respirator. It happened once more, in which Monica heard as well. Tammy used the temperature reader; the room read the same at apx. 54 degrees but noticed when she went around the area I was sitting and over the top of me, the temp raised into the 60's. I also noticed, I was no longer cold and the room's air actually felt warmer when I breathed in. Noises also seemed to be coming from the outside as though something small was being thrown against the window and siding and noises repeatedly coming from the next room, so we continued on into that room, room 16.
In this room we all heard a loud crash, which was followed by whistling. I also caught a dark shadow, about 2 ft. off the floor, it was small, apx. 16" long, 4" wide, tapered on each end. The first glimpse of it I seen, it was coming in my direction but began to swerve. I thought it must be car lights reflecting on something and looked to the sliding glass window, there weren't any lights and when I looked back, the shadow was going back in the other direction, almost in a swirling motion. We also heard several noises in this room. Monica called for other team members to come down to our room. They had heard similar noises as well during their hunt. When they went into the prior room we had been in, one of them said they could smell perfume.
