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: in a 2nd floor guest room, where we had some major activity on the first night; IR cam 2: in the kitchen, facing the basement door and the area where employess have experienced activity; IR cam 3: in the basement; IR cam 4: in the dining area / lobby, facing the staircase and tables where 'hot spots' are located.
We had 5 voice recorders running.. one by each camera mentioned above, and the 5th 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 8:00 pm. This is the 2nd part of a 2-night investigation at this location. After talking with the owners a little bit, we set up "central base" in the conference room on the main 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..

Tammy laid on the bed in room 16 and felt her stomach possibly tickled. I then laid on the bed and started to feel cold and my legs started to shake uncontrollably. Seemed like a spirit was around. I stood up and it seemed to follow.
We soon left for the lobby but was stopped by a smell coming from room 15. A strong Antique Ladies Perfume. We then sat down and proceeded to see if we can pick anything up. We weren't getting anything that we know of, so Tammy threatened to paint a dresser Orange in the room and a Woman cried "No!" We both heard it.
Later in the basement with Tom, Martin, Tammy, and I - Tom and I thought we heard the handheld recorder move from the spot it was place.. a quick shove.
When we were leaving the kitchen I got extremely cold, my knees were knocking, there was a breeze all around me and the emf meter was going crazy, felt like something was around me or passing through me, the meter was going off about 1 1/2 feet above the floor and 1 1/2 feet above my head, the camera died and then suddenly the emf stopped, it was gone.
