We found evidence of a haunting. We found one EVP. While we was downstairs we would hear a faint conversation happening up stairs. At one point I went upstairs and heard footsteps walking away from me into another room. When I asked Rick (who was downstairs under the room) he heard the floor creaking as if someone was walking above him.

                                    !!Case Update!!
Now before any case we research the house, find out who has ever lived there from the current owner to the very first owner, then we look for if anyone has died in the house.

…..and sure enough we did find one (see picture below)

So one day, shortly ofter our investigation the client and her daughter (The only 2 females was in the whole house) decided to try doing some EVP recording of their own. In the recording 14 seconds in to the first track they got a class A EVP of a male with a deep voice calling for “Eve”. The woman who died in the house was named Eva, we think that Eve might have been a pet name or a shorter way of calling for her.

In 1956 the new high school was built and old one was closed.
The school was bought by the Tuscarawas country road and bridge dept.
later the current client bought it.


Investigation Summery:
During our first investigation to the school house we found:

No evidence in the way of EVPs.

No evidence in the way of photo 35mm or digital.

We found possible evidence on 8mm video; 2 small glowing orbs streaked across the room (kitchen like room) the first happened 1 min 39 sec into the video the first orb appeared for 2 secs.
The next one appeared 47 mins 57 secs and lasted 2 secs.
We also had video camera #1 in the garage shut it self off.

A 2nd investigation is needed to validate any paranormal existence with in the school house.
During the 2nd investigation we had video camera #2 battery drained to 0% charge.
No evidence in the way of photo 35mm or digital.

We found possible evidence of EVPs, It is a class C, we can not confirm nor deny what is being said, we believe it to be saying a name, Michelle. We have ruled out the possibility of it being one of our voices.
