Final Report and Analysis

Case 040

St. Clair Home

October 5, 2013

Marvin, Virginia

Investigators

Rodney Shortridge, Matt O’Quin, Robyn Dalton, Olivia Compton & Scott Osmundson

     On October 5, 2013 the BDPS team investigated the St. Clair Home located in Marvin, Virginia. I would like to take this moment to thank the St. Clair family for giving us permission to investigate their home. We decided because of the size of the home we would have one team inside the home investigating while the second team would sit outside on the porch monitoring the IR (infra-red) cameras. We started our investigation around 7:00 p.m. with a walking tour of the home that was given by Mrs. St. Clair. We started our set up around 7:30 p.m. We then proceeded to our investigation soon after dividing into teams. Team 1 consisted of me, Robyn Dalton and Olivia Compton. Team 2 consisted of Matt O’Quin and Scott Osmundson. Mrs. St. Clair assisted later during the investigation. Each team worked on a rotation changing their location about every 2 hours. We finished our investigation around 4:00 a.m. the following morning. This was a great experience and very helpful in our constant training.

     EQUIPMENT USED AT THIS INVESTIGATION:

  • (4) DVR’s (Digital Voice Recorders)

  • (3) Zero Lux low lever IR (infra-red) cameras

  • (1) Sony handheld camcorder

  • (2) Kodak digital cameras

  • (1) Canon digital camera

  • (1) K2 Meters

  • (1) EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) Meter

  • (1) Laser Thermometers

  • (2) IR (infra-red) motion detectors

     We placed (1) DVR (Digital Voice Recorder) in each of the areas of the home with reports or claims of paranormal activity; which included the children’s bedroom, living room, kitchen. (1) DVR (Digital Voice Recorder was carried by one investigator during the investigation. The (1) IR camera was placed in the children’s bedroom, (1) was placed in the living room, (1) was placed in the kitchen (1) Sony handheld camcorder was carried by one investigator during the investigation. Also, each team carried along with them during their investigations one of the following: K2 Meter, EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) Meter or Laser Thermometer.

Reports & Claims: Children being woke up by unknown little girl screaming, seeing black shadows in the corner of the living room, one child has explained experiencing an unknown light around her, children’s shoes that light up are lighting up for no reason but seems to respond to questions being asked by lighting up 1 for yes and 2 for no.

Historical information: We were unable to find any historical information on this home or surrounding properties.

Personal Experiences: Only personal experiences by all from the team was the children’s shoes that light up, about 40% of the time. When asked a question the shoes would light up in response to the questions being asked, 60% of the time there would be no response at all but the shoes would light up on their own without a question being asked. This has baffled us we cannot say it’s paranormal and we cannot say it isn’t either. The shoes were checked by all members to see if the shoes had been tampered with and no such evidence presented itself. The shoes were purchased a few days earlier and the area to get to the batteries had no evidence of being tampered with. We tried many tests to see if we could get the shoes to light up. Example: we used force and vibrations to see if the shoes would light up and they did; but the amount of force and vibrations it took to get the shoes to light up could not explain how the shoes would light up on their own when no such force or vibrations was detected at the times the shoes would light up. It was determined by all that we were unable to explain why the shoe’s where lighting up.

Evidence: Photo evidence: No photo evidence, Video evidence: No video evidence

Note:  BDPS does not support the idea of orbs as evidence of the paranormal because most orbs can be explained away as dust, bugs, rain, mist, fog, etc. There are cases that the orbs we photograph seem to move with some type of intelligent intent. We post these photos because we feel that there needs to be more investigation into the Orb Phenomenon and we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss this phenomenon without further investigation and explanation. So we show these photos in an attempt to add another piece to the puzzle and leave this decision up to you to accept or dismiss orbs as evidence. It is also my opinion to show all evidence so we all can learn from what might be an area of the paranormal that may be getting over looked by researchers.

EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomenon)

We heard the following EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) and unexplained noises on our DVR’s (Digital Voice Recorders) & Microcassette Recorder:

CONCLUSION

     We have come to the conclusion that the St. Clair Home has very moderate paranormal activity in the forms of EVP’s, and personal experiences that helped us to determine our conclusion.

           I look forward to our next investigation. If anyone would like for us to do a paranormal investigation of their home, business, church, property or a family cemetery please contact us. If you would just like to speak with us about any paranormal activity you may be having we would love to hear from you. No problem is too small.
