1st Investigation with KPG
Report by: Debra Pickman
Having felt comfortable with the Kansas Paranormal Group, and being invited to stop by anytime, I decided to join them for the investigation they had planned for this weekend. “I’d go, but then they will expect something to happen. And what if it doesn’t?, it’ll look like it was all a fake.”” They will expect something to happen, like when I went in February with the other group”.
I tried to let him know that after all these years and after so many independent investigators, there was not a question of, if the house ever had activity, or whether it still was haunted. There was plenty of evidence that stood on its own and no one was relying on him to be a guinea pig, or catalyst.
The fact was that most people felt he should stay away from the house. He had been so viciously attacked on his last visit that I too, was concerned. On the other hand, I didn’t want to stop him if he really wanted to go. Perhaps there was something he felt the needed to do. A “get back on the horse” sort of thing, after all he felt as if he had been run out of his home 10 years earlier. I don’t know. But he was a grown individual and who was I or anyone else for that matter, to tell him he couldn’t go.
I was curious about his interest in going. What had really brought it about? Was it The Kansas Paranormal Group and all the work they had done/ Was it listening to their EVP’s and hearing the voices? Was hearing the voices along with the historical documentation allowing him to put a personality to the activity he experienced. Was he leaving room for the idea that, what happened in the house so long ago, may not have been so demonic?
As the week went on and the investigation date got closer, Tony talked more about his tagging along, and to my amazement, he had decided to go with us; at least for a little while. With this unexpected desire to go back to the house after such a horrifying experience in February, I suggested that he had to go in with a different mind set than before. I again stressed that no one was expecting him to go back to the house, and that he didn't have to go in to prove anything. I also stressed that if he did, he should go in feeling empowered with the knowledge that what had been attacking him was a psycotic spirit and not the devil.
We arrived at the house and he must have been extremely nervous, because he asked if it would be all right for him to come back in a short while. He had wanted to try and get a hold of his nerves. He drove around the town for about an hour trying to prepare or get his courage up, and when he finally did arrive, he seemed calm and collected. I was actually very surprised that he came back at all, as I'm sure the others were.
