Back in the summer we did an investigation in Illinois.  We had received a desperate email from a family who had several claims of activity in their home.  When we went to the pre-investigation we really did not find anything that would lead us to do an extensive investigation.  However the family was so adamant about the paranormal activity and they were so distraught that we did schedule to return with our group.  Which is what we did.  Because of the sensitivity that appeared to be present, a skeptical husband and children in the house, we only took a very small group and basic equipment.  We spent somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 to 4 hours in the house and their were no paranormal occurrences while we were there.  WE took several photos, video footage and audio recordings.  We documented in great length there dialogue about the happenings within the house.  We told them when we were finished that we would contact them as soon as we went over the evidence.  We did not find anything within photos or video.  However we did get an EVP from the master bedroom in the house.  We returned to their house with the EVP for them to hear, we informed them at that time that to date we had not found anything else in the house.  During that visit we set up the recorder and Al took a few more photos.  We parted "In good Graces"

I had told them we would get a summary of what we had found out to them and then all hell broke loose in our personal lives.  Al sustained an injury which laid him up for a while and he was on some pretty strong pain meds, my elderly parents were going through some abuse at a nursing home they were at in Indiana.  We finally had to move from Illinois to Indiana to deal with that situation.  So with so much going on we did have a delay in the summary getting out to them.  However there were emails sent back and forth and we even urged them that if they were unhappy with what we had found or our lack of ability to get further into this to find another paranormal group and even offered to help find them one. 

We moved to Indiana in August and in the frame of time we have been here my Mom has been hospitalized 8 times.  My Dad is a Parkinson's patient and we have them both at home so my time has been limited.  As soon as we obtained some help within the home situation my first order of business was to get this summary out.  Which is what I did.  I also wrote an article for the web site pertaining to the info they gave us and what we found.  Now please keep in mind that the article was written based on the emails, a written letter and recorded info at the investigation from the family and written documents we collected during the investigation.  I get this very ugly email from them about how they didn't say this and they didn't say that and how they did get another group and how they had several people give them negative info about us...  From where I don't know???  All of the info within the web article was from their dialogue...  not our!!!

What started this was that they contacted us wanting some info back that we had asked them to obtain for us...  a simple recording of night time activity.  I told her we would transfer the recording and then send her the tapes.  Yes I did remind them that the information we obtained belonged to MGHAPI and that they had signed a release agreeing to that and that this did include any evidence on the tapes we asked them to record for us.  We also informed them that any evidence we collected that was clean of any paranormal activity would be destroyed. 

When I did the post on the web page I also made sure that the photos were not enlargeable so that nothing personal could be viewed with clarity, such as personal photos.  We did not use there names and protected their street address.  I feel we did every thing that we could do in this.  They were notified about what we had found and the only delay was with the written summary!   I feel now like we did not give them the answer they wanted and they are unhappy about that. 

I didn't mean to get so long winded with this but it confuses me.  We made three trips to the location, we never charge for our services, we kept them informed and we protected their privacy and only used their dialogue to do an article.  Is there something more we could have done?  Has anyone else on here ever been confronted with a problem such as this?  This is the first and only time this has ever happened to us and we are more them a little baffled.  Any input would be appreciated!  Negative or positive.
