Private Residence in Ossipee, NH
(Third Investigation)  May 01, 2010

On May 01, 2010, the Souhegan Paranormal Investigators and guest had the opportunity to return a third time to investigate a private residence in Ossipee, NH. We had 6 people attend this investigation. Attendees from the SPI group were Susan, John, Patti, Rita, Michelle, and Matt.  If you haven't already read about the first two investigations we did, you might want to read about them to help you understand some of the history about this property.  Our focus on the first two investigations was mainly inside the home.  However, this investigation was being conducted to focus mostly on the outdoors as there are some very strange photos that have been captured while filming in and near the woods just behind the house.  In our photo gallery, we have included photos that SPI took that evening along with photos that have been captured by the homeowners themselves during the many, many evenings that they have conducted their own mini investigations in hopes to learn the nature of the phenomena.  Along with the strange photos that have been captured, sounds of growling have been heard both in the woods and in the house. It is not unusual to hear the crackling of tree branches when someone is walking in the woods, nor to hear the sounds of growling in the woods, but it is unusual to investigate the source of these sounds and come up empty handed, not just on one occasion, but on a few occasions. 

We set up our outdoor IR camera along with a night vision camcorder.  We all had our digital cameras, our digital recorders, and the KII meter.  We began our session at approximately 8:40 pm and was hopeful that we would find explanations for the events the homeowners told us about.   When we were all settled, we began and EVP session.  Sue was speaking and asked the entities to show themselves.  We were all taking pictures at that time and captured some of the prettiest and most colorful orbs that any of us had ever seen.  Matt actually captured an orb that he described looked like a marshmellow floating by which was over the grave of where the little girl is believed to be buried.

Michelle, who is a sensitive, used her intuition and advised us of the information she received.  She said there were two Native Americans in the forest.  There was a small Native American man near the tall tree to the right and a second taller Native American man standing to the left of the tree.  She placed a family of 5 in the house; mother, father, two boys (ages unknown) and a young girl around 7 years old.  She feels the year was 1805.  The little girl heard a noise outside and went out to see what was causing the noise.  Wearing a pink night dress, she walked toward a stone walled area that is lined with trees (that area still exists today).  The smaller Native American murdered the little girl and the second man was unhappy about the murder.  Their intent was to steal some chickens, and now they had a murder on their hands.  The little girls father found her and laid her to rest somewhere near the edge of town. 

Michelle and Patti lit a candle and began asking the spirits/ghosts to make the flame higher and lower as well as move the flame to the left and to the right.  We were very careful to take precaution that there was no wind during this session.  They seemed to get a response to their questions.  You can see photos of this session by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page to bring you to the photo gallery.

On this Ossipee property, as we have mentioned in our two previous investigations, is the grave of Samuel Nutt.  Samuel was a soldier in the Civil War.  It is unknown why Samuel was buried on this property, but town records show this is definitely his burial site.  Michelle made visual contact with Samuel and told us that he was of medium build with brown hair and was between 23-27 yrs. old and that he died from something else other than being a war casualty.  Town records show that Samuel died in 1865 from a disease.  Though Samuel was not living when the little girl was murdered, each night Samuel stands near his gravesite and sees the reenactment of the little girl's murder.

EVP's Captured Outside: 

Only a few minutes into the investigation, Patti captured this EVP. At position :05 it sounds like a male whispering "okay". We cannot be sure that is the correct word.  At the end of the audio clip is a "pinging" sound which we believe to be one of our cameras.

Patti captured the next EVP that sounds like the clanking of metal similar to when a blacksmith is working on a horseshoe. We do want to point out that it could have been Sue's camera hitting against the metal leg of her lawn chair, but it really doesn't sound like that, nor does the rhythm seem to correlate with the banging of a camera. These can be heard at positions :03, :05, :16, :17, :18, and :30.

A third EVP Patti captured outside is inaudible, but a whisper can be heard. Matt and Sue were talking in a low voice about Sue's new camera and Sue was telling Matt she didn't really know too much about it yet. You will hear Matt say, "yeah" in then there is a third voice (we are not sure who that was) and at position :06 a very low whisper can be heard. You will definitely need earphones to hear the whisper.

On two occasions, Matt and John heard noises in the woods. On one of these occasions, Patti saw a flash of light in the woods just before the noise was heard. Matt and John immediately ran to the areas where the noises were being made and could not find the source. We have no explanation for the sounds that were heard. Shortly after the second occurrence, Matt's camera would fade completely out of focus and go black and then it would return to its normal state. This happened several times and finally it returned to normal and was fine after that. We captured photos of orbs of many different colors which you will find in the photo gallery. Matt captured what looks like to be the face of a ghostly bear among the trees. Michelle captured what looks like a figure of some sort walking in the woods. At first we thought maybe it was light coming through the trees/brush, but if you look closely it does appear to have a torso and to be wearing a 3/4 sleeve tunic top with with an arm and hand extending out of the sleeve. Though the legs are not defined, it does appear to have legs. Along with the photos we captured are photos captured by the owners of the property, Lisa and Joe.

We did investigate the inside of the home for a short period of time. The following EVP's were captured:

The First Bedroom (Once Known as The Paint Room): 

• Patti and Michelle were doing some EVP work. Michelle said something about her stomach making a noise. You will hear Patti laugh and at position :02, you can then hear another 2 syllable laugh almost as if Patti's laugh was being mimicked.  
• Michelle and Patti were asking questions of the pendulum. You will hear Michelle ask, "Are you 9 and 10 years old?" At position :09 is a female response that says, "mmmm hmmm".  

 The Kitchen:

• While doing EVP work in the kitchen, Rita captured this EVP. Joe was asking "Are you gonna hurt me?" At position :01, is a quickly whispered "yeh".  
• Sue was asking Mr. Kimball to tell us his correct name. After asking, "Is it Larry", there is a tap at position :29. The conversation continues and Michelle asks, "Is it Harold?" At position :53 it sounds like we received a response that said "hmm".  
• Rita also captured this EVP. Lisa was asking Joe if he remembered the name of the man that once owned the property and had the barn and the pigs. Lisa said, "Royals? no..." At position :12 is a female response that sounds like "hah". Lisa continues trying to think of the name and said, "Myles?" At position :16 is a whispered "no", and then you can hear Lisa speak again as she said, "Giles".  

During our EVP session in the kitchen, we were also using the KII meter. Sue asked if the spirits/ghosts knew anything about a barn being on the property more than 60 years ago. The KII meter lit all the way up to red. Lisa asked if they were happy with the decorating that had recently been done to the upstairs bedrooms, and again the meter lit up to red. When we were wrapping up our session, Sue was speaking letting them know we were going to end the session. The KII meter lit up to amber. Lisa then posed another question and asked if they were mad at her because she kicked them out of her bedroom one night, and the meter lit up to amber. Sue then repeated that we were going to have to wrap it up because it was quite late and the meter lit up to amber again. The session was now over.

Conclusion:  We continue to report that we feel there is definite paranormal activity at this residence. We captured some pictures during the investigation to share with you Because there are so many pictures, they will not be in any special order; rather they will be listed by the person who took the picture.
