The C House-New Albany Private Residence

New Albany Private Residence 2009/2010


MSSPI investigated this early 1800's farmhouse on several occasions in 2009. Reports of activity included, several sightings of a large shadow man at the top of the stairs and on one occasion it was seen leaning over their young son while he slept, There were feelings of being watched, footsteps when no one was there and the heaters being turned on and off by themselves.The young son was afraid to sleep in his room and there were also reports of unexplained noises, the back door opening by itself and a chair in the dinning room turning over when no one was in the room.

We were able to confirm several deaths that occured in the house over the years and related to its location and age there is the possibility that the house saw some activity during the Civil War. The house was originally built in 1814. Moved from its original location in 1842 and also includes a large amount of farm land, a slaves quarters and an old barn. We only investigated the house as the slave quarters is now occupied by tenants and the barn has never been entered by the current owners and we did not know what safety hazzards could be lurking there and there had been no reported activity in those locations.

We have visited the location on at least 3 occasions in 2009 and have recorded numerous EVP and all of our team members have had some sort of personal experience while there.

Recent activity at the home in 2010 has been reported by the homeowner, including strange noises and footsteps, a rocking chair being moved to the center of the room on several occasions when no one was there, door handles jiggling and doors opening by themselves, strange behavior by the family cat and continued feelings of uneasiness and being watched by something unseen.



2010 Update:

MSSPI conducted a final investigation of the home on May 15th 2010. We made one last attempt to capture evidence at this location, but the atmosphere of the house was very quiet and there was little if any activity on this last investigation. The home was also investigated by the GHOST team of Southwest Tennesse the same week, and we appreciate them for sharing their findings with us. We are sorry to hear that the homeowners are moving out of state due to work related issues, but we wish them well and we appreciate them opening up their home for us to investigate. We will be posting some of the EVP clips to the main website http://www.mississippi-spi.com/ on the Case files EVP pages that are currently in construction as of the date of this blog post.

Personal Team Experiences Case Reports

David and T.J. Were investigating upstairs and T. J. was sitting in the chair that is in the hall corner at the top of the stairs. David was standing in the doorway of the daughter's room facing out towards T.J. And the stairwell. He states that he saw a shadow mass that moved towards him and went through his arm and it disappeared once it passed him. He states that his arm got really cold when this mass was near him. T.J. Did not see this. David has never experienced anything like that before. They also heard two distinctive knocks in the mancave when they asked if anyone was present during the EVP session.

While in the mancave ( downstairs bedroom) Jennifer experienced cold chills and the homeowner also experienced them. They both again felt cold chills in the son's room and the K2 meter went up to yellow and then red with no explanation while in the center of the bed. Angie felt a cold spot like someone had their hand on her arm and shoulder on the staircase, there was a slight temperature change aprox 2 degrees. Angela also saw a dark shadow mass approaching towards her from the bottom of the staircase to the top step where she was sitting just prior to the cold spot she felt, They also experienced cold chills in the parent's room and the K2 spiked to yellow while sitting in the middle of the bed. There was no logical explanation for this. Also all audio from their session has unexplainably deleted itself. There is no audio for this time in the location. Angela saw the files deleteing right in front of her and could not stop them, no buttons had been pushed on the recorder and only the file from this session was deleted.

We were on the porch area at the same time Angie, Jen and the Homeowner were inside the location. Upon arrival on the porch area Shelly stated that " I felt like someone touched my back." We were sitting there doing EVP session and I (Shelly) took a few pictures. David was sitting in one of lounge chairs on the porch to the left of the front door as was James. I was looking in through the glass in the house and observed the team inside going upstairs. I then looked back to David and we both witnessed a light anomaly that was not exactly round but it looked watery and ripply and danced around the interior of the porch awning. We saw this anomaly two times with in a 5 minute period. Each time it lasted about 10 to 15 seconds. I tried to photograph it but had no luck. At the time this was occurring James felt like he was being touched on the arm. I took photographs but nothing was in them. We tried to recreate this light anomaly various different ways and we could not.

2nd followup investigation--- during the EVP session that Angie, Shelly, and Jennifer were doing we asked if anyone was present and if they could give us a sign of their presence. Upon that we all three heard 2 distinctive knocks. This was not just a sound it was a deliberate knock that was in a row. At this time we also had K2 spike and the knocking was captured on all three recorders. Jennifer's actually has what sounds like footsteps walking up then knocking twice then walking away. We also heard what sounded like someone was messing with the mini blinds in the living room while we were in the downstairs bedroom or ( Mancave ). We went to investigate but there was nothing there.

Most every member of our team had personal experiences of some sort. This house has an amazing history and we may have validated one of our EVP's we captured. We are still currently researching this to see if the hired hand the original owners had was really named Frank. We can not say for 100% if it is haunted or not without further investigation and research, but we are all in agreement that there is unexplained activity occurring at this location. And with each investigation, we get a little bit closer to figuring out the truth. We appreciate the homeowners inviting us in to their home to investigate.
