KMPI Kettle Moraine Paranormal Investigation

Elsing's 2^nd Hand Shop Investigation May 3, 2008

Philip and Vicky Elsing

Firstly, thank-you very much for the opportunity to investigate your place of business. It’s refreshing to find businesses so eager to explore the possibilities of the unknown! We found you to be very accommodating and a very gracious host. The snacks were well-received and much appreciated!

As you know, on May 3^rd we came down for the investigation, along with Matt and Amanda. Present in my group were Myself, Mike Hoke, Kellie Wirtz, and guest Dave Schultz. We split at first to form 2 groups of 3, then 3 groups of 2. No member was found to be left alone for any length of time to ensure the accuracy of our findings.

Here’s a breakdown of what we found:

Audio: Nothing note-worthy. Despite our EVP circles and other tactics, we did not catch any voice-phenomena. A few car sounds were noted at random intervals, as was a siren in the background from a fire truck. Nothing paranormal that could not be attributed to normal sounds.

Electronic: Nothing major in the emf findings. A room or two had a live wire, and the furnace system and April air system in the basement all gave off the normally high readings for electrical and magnetic readouts. No anomalous readings were found during the investigation.

Heat signatures: Nothing super noteworthy except a few drafty spots in the basement as well as a window upstairs with a gap in the insulation. Nothing anomalous. A member or two noted a chill on the back of their neck in the basement, but with a Kleenex and a stick we were able to show the cold air came from the basement to the stove that was in the lower level.

Video: We did run across the video with sound of the marble(?) dropping, I will attach that for you.

Imagery: Nothing on 35mm film, but the digital canon rebel XLT did capture some rare finds. Note this camera is programmed to pick up light, and motion, and is designed specially to enhance images at high speeds.. All these pictures are being sent as the original untouched, and an enhanced version.

The first is in the attic, the window to the far right. You may see what appears to be a face in the window. It’s possible it may be a reflection from an item, but I can’t see what it’s reflecting from at that angle.

The second is an odd little light-orb, just to the left of the lamp in the picture. It’s giving off a faint green light (green is often noted to be the color of magic, and often associated with fairy-type creatures). This orb is unique in some 140-odd pictures, and appears to be showing captured motion. Again, it could be camera fault, but we cant say for sure.

The third and final picture is in the holiday room. It’s the blue light, about midway down, off to the left. It seems to be traveling upwards. There is a close item to the lens, but a refraction of that sort would have the same angle of the item close up, and this does not.

There is a lot of light refracting from the glass, but my camera is able to filter most of it, and the item behind this light is non-glass, and of a non-reflective surface.

That about sums up our findings. Seems to me you have not so much ghosts, but rather, guardian angels/spirits that follow you around, keeping you company when you need it most and safe from harm. Consider yourself blessed to have such phenomena about you, and keep up the wonderful store! It was a real pleasure working for and with you, and I hope to visit your shop sometime in the future, if I ever come to the area again. Let me know if you want a copy of all the pictures for your own analysis, or if there’s anything else you need,

Thanks for your support and patience!

Michael, KMPI
