Client's claimed to hear voices, seeing apparitions of dark figure in childs room, seeing strange balls of light, and hearing footsteps.  Client was told that there was a suicide that took place outside the home along with a drowning.

CTPRT was given a tour of all the locations having activity within the home and set up equipment.  We unfortuately got no evidence on video but did get a few EVP's and had several personal experiences within the team.  One EVP was a male voice and states, "profound" and then you hear another voice immediately after stating, "he's lying to us".  The second EVP is very quick and sounds like a young child say, "Grandma".  (Please click on the EVP link) On two seperate occasions four investigators had a very uneasy feeling within three different rooms of the house.  We also on more than one occasion heard footsteps above us in the attic as if someone was running around upstairs, we also heard these same footsteps going up the stairs to the attach which was an attach ladder that folded down from a drop hatch.  We sent two investigators immediately into the attack to discover that there was no floor up there for us to hear the footsteps that we all heards.  Historical research did show of two deaths but cause of death's could not be found.  Our investigation proved to be conclusive in finding paranormal activity that we could not explain.

This client contacted us through a referral from our client in Columbia.  The client was concerned for her children who claimed to see a man and a young child at random times thoroughout their home.  It got to the point that their daughter was fearful to be alone in any part of the house no matter what time of day it is.  Of course this continued through the night in which the parents would take turns sleeping with the children.  The husband was very skeptical of what his children and wife were telling him and didn't want us to come out at first thinking we may bring something into their home.  Until one afternoon he came home from work and walked into the kitchen to see a little boy wearing a blue shirt with blonde hair parted to the side peaking around the corner and them disappeared.  He immediately ran downstairs to the family room and questioned his kids who the new kid was that they had over and where he went.  Both children watching TV said they had no idea what he was talking about as neither of them had anyone over not could they find the young boy the dad saw in the house.  That night we received a call to come out.  We were unable to get any evidence on the DVR or camera's however we were able to interact with a small boy and caught several EVP's of him.  The town did expand their cemetary directly into the backyard of this family in which the children play.  After walking through the cemetary we were unable to find any young children buried there.  Therefore, we have not determined yet where this child originated from.  We went back for a 2nd visit to the home and did a full house cleansing in which the family confirmed that the activity has stopped and the children are comfortable in the home again and sleeping through the night.  EVP's will be posted soon.

This is a residential case that we took over in an emergency situation where another team literally scared this family in believing that she was being taken over by a demon who would eventually kill her for her soul.  Needless to say this team had no evidence to back up their findings.  To top it off they actually convinced the family that they needed to pay them for gas and make a donation because they had come out to her home on three occasions.  THIS TEAM TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS FAMILY AND THEIR ACTIONS WERE TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR IN THE PARANORMAL FIELD.

Our team met with the homeowners for several hours proving they were lied to and taken for a ride.  We witnessed and supported the family in a catholic house blessing with a priest.  We have done a full investigation and came up with no evidence of demonic activity.  Our second visit after the blessing went well.  We had and witnessed some personal experiences but did not get any evidence to back them up.  We did a cleansing when we left and the homeowner claims the home is less active.  We will continue our investigations at the residence in hopes of gathering activity and to help the family overcome their fear that was put into them by this other team.  Any evidence we do get will get posted in this case file so stay tuned for future updates.

2/20/11 - update:  The homeowner claims activity has quieted down a lot and has gotten the courage to stay home alone for 5 hour increments.  Another cleansing to be done for the family on 2/27/11.

7/10/11 - update: The homeowner claims activity still remains quiet and is now able to stay alone in her home.

CTPRT had the honor of investigating the historical General Stanton Inn which is dated back to the 1600's.  What an amazing and beautiful bed & breakfast. 

The Inn was featured on the SciFi Channel show "Ghost Hunters" in October 2007. Having the Inn to ourselves, we had a remarkable evening.  We were unable to gather evidence on equipment but witnessed personal experiences that we could not explain.  Having stepped out of dinner and bringing it back to our room, we locked the front door of the Inn and went upstairs.  Within a hour we heared the front door of the Inn open and slam shut.  We immediately ran to the front foyer to find that the door was still locked from the inside with a deadbolt just as we had left it.  We searched the entire Inn to find that no one had in fact entered the Inn.  We could not explain what we witnessed.  Throughout the night, we hearded large pieces of furniture being moved around on the 3rd floor.  Immediately, upon hearing the movement we were able to account for all investigators which were still on the 2nd floor.  Once upstairs on the 3rd floor we could find no explanation to the sound of the furniture being moved.  This is a beautiful Inn with lots of history and recommend others to book a night and experience a night of paranormal activity.

Client along with several witnesses claim to have seen an apparition of a woman, lights going on and off, voices, cold spots and footsteps.

CTPRT was given a tour of the location and set up all equipment.  One of our investigators was touched when touching a personal item.  All team members had experienced cold spots and hearing someone whistling.  EMF meter readings fluxuated throughout the night.  A shadowy image was also witnessed sitting in a chair by three investigators at the same time and was caught on film (however, to protect identity of client, video and/or photo's can be released to the public).  We had numerous EVP's (click on link) (to protect client identity not all EVP's can be released however, click on the link to hear some of them that we were able to release.) that proved to the client the identity of the paranormal activity taking place.  Based upon conclusive evidence, we were able to prove the establishment to in fact have an intelligent haunting.

Update from campout on 9/25 & 9/26.  We had a fun weekend camping, relaxing around the camp fire and investigating the forest.  Pachaug never fails to disappount us.  Having new people join us, we were able to investigate sections of the forest where we found an abandoned cemetary dating back 1800's and having the most recently and last burial in 1904 leaving the cemetary unattended and forgotten from that point on.  Near by the cemetary we found foundations of old houses and buildings of some sort proving that this was a village or settement at some time.  At one particular foundation siting we had high unexplained EMF readings, along with huge decreases in temperatures of 20+ degree's and interferance with digital recorders that correlated with the high EMF readings (please note, that there is no electrical power is this area of the forest) that led us to other foundations as if we were being led to find them.  We also received an EVP (click on link) clearly saying "no" when asked if they were  female.  We also experienced the smell of a musk cologne and had uneasy feelings at one foundation.  Here is some historical research regarding this area of the forest.  Below is also a list of the one's who have been laid to rest in a long abandoned cemetary untouched since 1904.

Originally built in 1845 by Thomas Rich, it was known for its fine dining.  In 1851 it became Hungerford's Hotel.  The hotel was then sold again in 1887 to Aldogh Wagner.  On March 18, 1895 the hotel was destroyed by fire.  Having several owners trying to restore the hotel.  It was purchased on Oct. 1, 1906 by James Shanley.  In 1937 James Shanley past away.   By 1944, Mrs. Shanley realized the hotel was too much for her to handle on her own so it was sold to Mr. Al Hazen.  Al died on the same day as James Shanley but different years.  Since then the hotel had several owners but most recently is owned by Cindy and Sal Nicosia who is restoring the Shanley to its original beauty.  Click on the link to read in details the history of the Shanley Hotel. 

Here is a side picture of the Shanley Hotel taken from the well where a 4 year old girl drowned.  The hotel has a remarkable amount of history to it. 

Here's a group picture of CTPRT, along with two teams from PA, one team from NC and our host, Jeff and Shannon Slyvia from Ghost Hunters International.  We had an incredible investigation which started at 9:00 p.m. and ended at 5:30 a.m. 

Here's a picture of the delicious cake that was provided for us.  The fingers were made out of rice krispy treats. 

This picture may be nothing, but I wanted to note that during the tour myself and another team member from Hazelton Paranormal both stopped at the same time to look into this room.  As we did (now being the only one's left on the 2nd floor), the door to this room closed in our face.  I immediately opened the door and we tried to see if we could get the door to close by walking in the hall, etc. but we could not get the door to close.  This picture was taken immediately after I opened the door to see if someone was in the room.  It looks like a light white mist coming from behind the door.  However, I can not prove it.

While investigating the basement.  We used some new equipment called a lazer grid.  This grid allows the naked eye to see if an entity walks through the grid, it will block out the light.  Where if a living being walks through the grid the grid appears on the living being.  We were able to witness a shadow person walk to the left and then when asked to go the other direction, we also saw it.  The lazer grid is not picked up with a camera, therefore on the camera you only see an orb.  Each picture it moves closer and closer to Dave who kept asking for it to show itself to us.  Here are the other pictures of it getting closer.  Out of 159 photo's these are the only photo's that had anything of the type on them.  Therefore, I do not feel they are are dust as we witness the apparition at the same time. 

Here it is in front of Dave and much bigger in size.

This picture it was moving back away from Dave.  We also heard whistling 3 times in the basement along with footsteps over us that we could not explain as no one was on the first floor.  This is one of the claimes that other investigators experience while in this part of the hotel.  Once all EVP's are analyzed I will upload them to this site.  

If you zoom in on the photo to the left, we caught the facial features of a man peaking out of the body room doorway.  He has bangs and is wearing wired frome glasses.  There were only four of us in the basement at the time of investigation and before shutting the lights off we clarified that we were in fact the only one's in the basement.  There is only one entrance which is behind me who took the photo so I know no one walked past me into the body room and I had just come out of this room.  The body room has solid stone walls with no windows or doors other than one next to Dave in the chair.  Please see the following picture taken immediately after I left the body room showing no one in this room.  At the time this photo was taken Dave said, he heard noises behind him coming from the body room and asked me to take a photo.  We also had a 5 degree temperature drop at the same time.  

Here a picture taken looking inside the body room.  Rumor has it that it was used to store bodies from people in town that died from TB during the winter months and were stored in this room until the spring thaw to be buried in the local cemetary.

We had so many personal experiences including not being able to sleep in my room due to nausia when ever in this room.  Also another experience that other teams have had.

========================================

November 28, 2009 - We had another successful investigation.  We paired up with our friends Mike and Geena.  Who we are looking forward to investigating with in the future.  We spent a lot time investigating the "secret room" and the 3rd floor.  What ever spirits reside in the hotel seem to be more comfortable with us and we had numerous occasions where we would see shadow people peeking into rooms we were investigating in, etc.  We hoped to be able to capture "TJ" in the basement again but were unsuccessful.  While in the secret room we had a lot of hits on the K2 that responded to questions we were asking along with be able to see the orbs with our own eye's at the same time of the spikes.  We also had two investigators feel like their wrist were being handcuffed. 

Clients purchased a 1745 home that was later discovered to be a favous tavern back in 1745.  The home still had the original interior/decor from when it was a tavern right down the wine cellar.  Clients claim to be awakened at night by rapids knocks on doors to find no one there and claim to have heard a woman singing and footsteps in the attic.

CTPRT was given a tour of the entire location and set up equipment in all areas where activity has been experienced.  Our investigation proved to be inconclusive in finding any paranormal activity to prove that the location was in fact haunted.  We were able to confirm the full history of the location right down to its former owners and years of being vacant prior to our clients purchase.

Client claims that their 3yr old son is being woken up by an entity within their home.  The client is currently renting a 300 yr old home for the last three years.  Their older son will not stay in his room for more than 2 hrs at a time without screaming in fear. 

At the start of our investigation, we were all in the kitchen discussing some old photo's of the previous owner that lived in the home for the last 40 yrs who have past away.  Immediately, a door inside the home flew open and slammed into the wall.  We tried several times to debunk this the door flying open.  The angle of the house settling causes the door to want to close and therefore needed force to fly open as it is uphill slightly.

As part of the team investigated the underground tunnels in the basement, the remainder stayed at command central watching the monitors.  Not even two hours after their son was put to bed in his room with two cameras and a voice recorder in their with him he came running out crying.  The evidence that we received was very disturbing for the client to finally know what was causing their son his fear.  When we played back our audio, we heared a deep male voice calling their son by his name repeatedly trying to wake him up.  Stay tuned as this evidence will be posted very soon.

The town of Cohasset, MA is where the movie, "Witches of Eastwick" was filmed.  What an incredible town to visit that is filled with so much history.  We were able to take a private tour of The Cohasset Town Hall which was built in 1857.  
While on the 3rd floor we captured a very nice orb.  One of our investigators had a sense of being watched and/or followed.  She quickly saw an image of a man with a mustache and a bowler hat.  We unfortunately, were unable to capture this image on film.  However, later confirmed the person she saw to be a worker from the water department for the town that has past on. 
While on the main floor, which is the auditorium another investigator on two occasions saw an image of someone walking on the main floor in front of the stage and head out the side doors.  However, the doors never opened nor was there anyone else in the room other than two other team members along with a tour guide sitting at a table.  
Making our way into the basement of the town hall and exploring the jail cells & stable of the police horses, one of our team members saw a shadow of someone move through into the boiler room however, there was no one there. 
Keep in mind these were personal experiences that we had while touring the facility.  If you are ever in Cohasset, MA we strongly recommend visiting the historical society and going back into history to see what life was like back in the 1800's in this quiet little town.

New owner's purchased the restaurant and since then have experienced strange phenomenona.  None of the staff would go down a hallway alone for fear of a presence.  Claims of shadowy images caught from the corner of your eyes, noises, items in walk-in cooler being missing and then found the next time you walk in tipped upside down on floor, seeing lights on the walls in dinning room with blinds closed, glasses falling off a rack several times in the bar and no in was in the room and did not break.  The restaurant was formerly the "Chestnut Lodge" which had a bad fire and burned down to the shell.  It then reopened as "Mariannas" prior to being turned into "Cibo's."

CTPRT was given tour of all the areas where claims of activity took place and set up all equipment.  During investigation several teams members witnessed a shadowy figure go through the back section of the dinning room.  We later discovered that the shadow that people were claiming to see was due to glass windows within the kitchen doors.  Any time someone walked by the other end of the kitchen near the hallway to bar area would project their shadow through the kitchen and into the dinning area.  We also discovered that even when the blinds were closed, cars driving by with headlights on still came through the windows to appear as if you were seeing lights on walls.  We were not able to experience any items disappearing within the walk-in cooler and reappear knocked over on the floor.  We also we unable to experience glasses falling off the rack in the bar.  Our investigation proved to be inconclusive in finding any paranormal activity to prove the establishment to be haunted.

This is a clients home that we've had an on-going investigation with.  The client is aware of the two spirits that reside with them in the home who were the former home owners.  However, recenlty they acquired a new spirit that seemed to have a negative impact on her son.  Her son experiened seeing a bright white light that got larger and eventually hovered over him having tenticles of electricity similar to those of a squid and reached around his arm with white beams of light (like  static electricity).  He retained no marks nor did we witness this event.  His sister claims to have seen this same type of thing a few days prior to the experience her brother had.  Using a "Shack Hack" to try and communicate with the entities on the 2nd floor, we were being swore at.  Unfortunately, I could not clear out the background noise enough to put on our site.  I did however, get a really clear EVP of someone telling us to "Get Out".  We did manage to get this angry spirit to leave.  In which, the atmosphere in the home was peaceful and you could clearly see the negative tention around her son change.  He seemed happy and more like himself.  Lets just hope this entity stays gone.  If not, we will go back and continue our research.  Be sure to click the EVP link to hear this class A EVP at the bottom of the EVP page.

We took part in a joint investigation with several other teams from MA, PA, RI and NY.  What an amazing evening being stranded on an island.

While invvestigating in the lighthouse, we decided to start in the basement and work our way up.  We were in the basement and heard footsteps directly above us so we ran upstairs to find no one there.  Immediately checking the locations of the other teams, we were alone in the lighthouse.  We also experienced shadow people in the military baracks on the grounds. 

The island was amazing.  We look forward to investigating there again in the near future.
