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!

This is an old, small, historic church. It consists of a main sanctuary/worship area, a balcony along the back wall that has the opening to the attic and bell tower.. and the basement, which has a nursury and kitchen/dining area.. along with a few other small rooms and the bathrooms in the back..
We had 5 cameras recording.. IR cam 1: at the front of the room, facing to the back of the sanctuary and aimed at the 2 entry doors, with part of the balcony in view; IR cam 2: in the balcony, facing down into the sanctuary; IR cam 3: in the basement, facing some of the tables and at the door that tends to open on its own; IR cam 4: in the basement, facing the kitchen/dining area and the back door. We also had another handheld night vision camera, which was placed in the attic, giving us audio and visual up there.
We had 5 voice recorders running.. one in the sanctuary, on the pulpit, one in the balcony, one in the nursery in the basement, one in the kitchen/dining area of the basement, and the 5th was carried around by teams as they investigated. We also had 2 EMF detectors, a K-II meter, 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 patrons who let us in, and getting a tour of the church, we set up "central base" in the teams van in the parking lot behind the church. Once we had the cameras set up and running.. we took photos, temp. and EMF readings. Then we went lights out. We took about 20 minutes of silent treatment before the first team of 2 went inside for their session..
