The group visited another house on May 1, 2010 in Manchester, CT, where the family had been experiencing numerous types of unexplainable phenomena. This is the story of what occurred during our visit, based on our readings, observations and experiences. The mediums had no prior knowledge of any of the spirits in the home, or what the homeowners had been experiencing.
A lightbulb exploded into pieces in the client’s living room just as we arrived.
This was the latest in a series of events that had the homeowners of this 49-year-old house in Manchester, CT questioning their own sanity and giving them concern for their family. Banging noises, strange pet behavior, shadows, voices, flying objects and full body apparitions were reported. Their daughter was also having conversations with someone unseen in their living room. The occurrences would be rather intense for several weeks at a time, and would then quiet down. They needed help.
______________________________________________________________
This place was busy.
The team arrived, with two new alternates in tow – Kim and Paul. Armed with meters, cameras and a thermal imager, the entire group went room-by-room, to see if anything was showing up on our equipment. The EM levels were extremely low throughout the house. At the same time as we examined the house, the plan was to check each room to see if there were any spirits wandering around. The group decided not to engage any spirits until this was complete.
Starting in the family room, I sensed something moving around – but it was difficult to pinpoint. It seemed to be in the room, and then not – and then I thought there was something outside.
Crystal heard, “I’m not over there. You’re looking the wrong way. What are you doing?”
It didn’t feel like I was off to a good start.
Not sensing anything in the kitchen or dining room, we entered the living room. I looked in the rear left corner, and Crystal heard singing:
Silly, silly, snitzy, snitzy.
Next we entered the child’s playroom. There was something moving around, and Crystal heard, “Just waiting for Isabella.”
We finished the main floor and headed upstairs. I felt that there was something at the top of the stairs, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it, much less anything else. I made a note of it and we moved on. The team then entered the children’s bedroom, and each of us felt at least one of the following – dizziness, nausea or headaches. And Kim was picking up hotspots on the thermal camera above one of the beds. Crystal started hearing something:
You can’t come up here.
GET OUT OF HERE NOW.
Something was angry, upset, scared or a combination of all three.
I then started to detect something spinning around besides my stomach. But being in the room was becoming too draining – I had to leave. Crystal heard more:
Don’t come back.
Crystal also heard, “Stop tracking me.”
At least my radar was working.

After we completed our initial scan of the house, the team discussed what we found with the client. As the well-being of the client’s children came first, we agreed to go into their bedroom, where we had felt ill earlier.
– – –
We couldn’t get her name. Or anything else.
We introduced ourselves to this spirit, but it didn’t evoke a response. Darlene attempted to ask the EVP questions anyway, but to no avail. I started talking to the spirit directly.
She told Crystal the she was too suspicious of us.
I tried to put her at ease, by explaining what we do.
Make them leave.
I don’t want your help.
I asked, “Do you want to watch what we do?”
I don’t care what you do.
“We will keep coming back until you talk to us.”
I can ignore you.
Darlene then asked if there was one particular person that she wanted gone, and she told Crystal that she wanted us all gone. I told her again that she could follow us to see us work, but Crystal said that she never leaves the room. I told her that I would settle for an answer to just one question. I asked her, “What year is this?
Go away.
Conversing with an elephant would have been easier that this. But I was stubborn – and wasn’t going to leave. I threw everyone out of the room except for Crystal. After they had left, the spirit asked us to close the door and turn off the light, as it was too bright. Once the lights were off, she told Crystal she felt more comfortable.
Would we now get somewhere, or would she keep stonewalling us?
Thinking a fresh start was in order, Crystal and I reintroduced ourselves. The first thing she told Crystal was that she had to hide – she was afraid of someone. I tried again to ask for her name and the current year. She still had no response – she just didn’t trust me.
I told her we would leave her alone for a while – and then she finally started opening up. She told Crystal that someone had broken into the house, and she was trying to protect herself. I said that we had helped many others before, and we would be able to protect her. I asked her again if she was sure she wanted us to go away, and she told Crystal yes – the intruder might follow us and find her. She then showed Crystal that a man had attacked her.
I asked her if she wanted to see her parents again, and she told Crystal that she didn’t know how to do that.
And would we be able to do that for her?
– – –
We left her for the time being and entered the master bedroom. I detected someone in the far corner of the room. Crystal said that his name was Timothy, age 15, and he believed that the year was 1992.
Who are you? Why are you here?
Timothy was waiting for his friend, Jesse, to come home. He didn’t even live in this house – he was Jesse’s neighbor. Being another spirit that didn’t realize they had passed, I asked him carefully why he was in the neighbor’s house when Jesse wasn’t there.
I said, “When was the last time you saw somebody here?”
Jesse’s mom – 15 minutes ago.
A very long 15 minutes. 18 years worth.
I told him that something had happened, and he needed to go find someone. He left and we never heard from him again.

The girl in the children’s room – Jackie, 13 years old, as she finally told Crystal – called us back before we left the top floor. She now wanted our help. We all entered the room this time, closed the door behind us and kept the lights off. Darlene asked Jackie several questions. First she asked if she seen a white light – she had, but it had been quite a while since she had seen it. Second, she asked Jackie if she played with the kids in the room. Crystal said that she plays with the youngest child.
Crystal said, “She’s afraid he’ll come back – just help her.”
Not wanting to make her feel any more unsafe, I told the rest of the group that we should leave her until we were able to find a light for her to pass through. I didn’t think she was up to coming with us just yet, especially with the other spirits still in the house.
No no no!
Jackie was scared, and now she didn’t want us to leave. I reassured her that we wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her, and would help her get back to her parents. We then left the room.
Again, I felt something at the top of the stairs. What was it?
– – –
We went downstairs to the bathroom – just your average bathroom with a toilet, sink and a tub. But I thought there was something beyond the corner in the rear. Was it in the backyard? It led me to think that it might be the spirit in the family room that kept moving around, throwing off my senses.
So off to the family room we went.
It was still moving around, not staying in one place for more than a moment or two, making me dizzy as I followed its position. I asked what its name was – but Crystal heard nothing. Being a wiseass, I told this spirit to go sit on Crystal’s lap – and it appeared to, at least for a brief moment. We laughed, introduced ourselves, and I asked for his name once more.
Beverly.
Beverly? Both Crystal and I thought it was a man.
Darlene asked why she was here, and her response was “why do you care,” quickly followed by “gotta run, gotta run!” After further questioning, we were able to find out that she had been under the influence of drugs when she passed, and was around 27 years of age. It seemed she was also still under the influence.
What is your name? Beverly
Why are you here? Why not?
Did you live here? I can’t remember
Are there any other spirits here? 1, 2, 3 – 2 upstairs, yes
Were you married? No.
Did you have children? Gave her up for adoption.
Are you angry or happy? Hyper.
Are you sad or lonely? Hyper.
Are you hurting right now? Cocaine. Want some?
We declined.
Do you know what year it is? 1961, 1964, 1966
Do you know where you are? No.
Where did you grow up? Brooklyn.
Were you religious? No.
She missed her boyfriend, Johnny, and wanted to see him again. And she knew where the light was. She led us outside – to a shed in the backyard. After 10 minutes of Crystal and I unsuccessfully trying to channel, then guess the combination of the lock to the shed, the homeowner came out and unlocked it for us. We entered, and Paul and Crystal located the light at the back wall.
Crystal told us that Beverly would hang out in the shed with someone known as “Smith.” Darlene talked Beverly through looking into the light for Johnny – and asked her to call for him. She was scared, but Darlene had her stand next to her. Smith missed his wife, so we had him look for her at the same time.
No luck – neither were showing.
Darlene tried to get them to just walk through – and she asked them to get closer and yell loudly. It still wasn’t working for Beverly, so Darlene asked for her to call her parents instead. She saw her mom almost immediately and left. Smith, on the other hand, was still having no luck. We helped him call for his wife, Susan. Crystal then saw his wife wearing a big dress, and he left too.
One down, one bonus. We went back inside the house.
What would we find next?
