MwGh case 1754-B
Private residence, North Springfield, Missouri 6-15-2019
Single story home with 3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 dining area, 1 kitchen and secondary 'closets'. Home "feel" varied from normal to
"distressed" on occasions, especially in kitchen and main living room.o
History:
Urban legend-style stories have been told to residents regarding a double murder which was said to have occurred in the home at some point in the 90's where "the bodies were stuffed into the attic" then subsequently removed via the fire department through an attic window upon discovery. Our tireless searches for such stories related to this address were fruitless (and one would think such a story wouldn't be too hard to dig up!). Are we saying it didn't happen 100%? No. We have learned better than to go out on that limb, however, evidence suggests this is exactly what it sounds like: an urban legend. As for factual information, the home was built in May, 1916 and was part of a development project whose purpose was to provide housing for the booming railroad industry which was occurring less than 2 miles down the road.
During our search of crimes which have occurred at the residence over the past 98 years and names of former homeowners, we did discover more than 56 police files relating to this specific address dating back to the 1930's; everything from public intoxication, domestic disturbance and child abuse to shots fired and even two missing person cases which popped up (which were preceded by multiple "well-being check" calls). *In all fairness, we have to highlight that the home is in an area of north Springfield which experiences a higher than average crime rate*. The case numbers for these cases get lost in the shuffle and a final outcome cannot be determined and it's important to point out that, statistically, with a very large percentage of missing person cases, the folks who were "missing" turn up alive and well somewhere else, but there was no follow-up info related to these two cases. During our historical search of the property, we were able to extract a few last names of past residents and it may be important to note (with evidence review below) that at the time of the two missing person cases, the last name of the residents was "Morrissey" (again, we're slaves to the info...when a home goes from owned to rented repeatedly, it's difficult to tell via records who is the owner and who is the renter).

Paranormal claims
The homeowners have complained of voices, personal oppression, being touched, seeing figures/shadows, and the feeling of being overtaken by thoughts or visions which were not their own. Similar to claims from first investigation 6 years ago but much more aggressive now.
Personal experiences:
This investigation is our second visit to this home in Springfield and the above history of the home/site was compiled during our first investigation and included in this synopsis. During our investigation, we experienced multiple personal experiences which were not captured by our recording equipment. The first occurred in the master bedroom. Chris and John were conducting an EVP session in the bedroom and the bed suddenly shook aggressively as though a large person jumped on it then it just stopped. At the same time a picture which was setting on a table near the bed fell over due to the weight of whatever disturbed the bed. As we left the room then looked back inside we noticed the ceiling fan was spinning while still in the off position (it was not running when we entered the room). By the time we got a camera trained on the area, the fan had stopped.
Many times during the investigation, we would see a shadow move across the wall and by the time we got a camera in position it was gone. We also experienced a phenomenon we've never encountered; visible EMF “waves”. When our camera were focused on certain areas, we could see what looked like heat or gasoline “waves” disturbing the visual. We could see these on the walls.
We heard more movement/”rattling around”-style recordings on this investigation than we've ever recorded. More than we could even include individually as evidence pieces. At least 19 times when we would ask the “entity” or presence to make a sound, we would hear movement in an adjacent area. And all of these instances were debunked, there was no reason for the movements of objects which we recorded.
Audio evidence:
As we stated above, we recorded several recordings of objects being moved during the investigation, so many that including them here would be repetitive. But the one EVP which we have corroborated with the help of 3 other paranormal groups was captured in the living room just outside the master bedroom. The investigators were joking around about trying to hear another sound and just when they asked, a motorcycle sped by the home (which can be heard on the audio piece below). Right after the motorcycle when Chris says (jokingly) “there it was, let's go”, you can hear a female voice say “her name is Amy” which is the name of the female homeowner who has experienced the most oppression. This EVP can be heard HERE. Listen to it a few times. You will definitely hear the female voice.
Video evidence:
Our video evidence is summed up by an EVP session with an EMF detector. It's important to note that we used several EVP detectors in this investigation and always use the one in our arsenal which is SUPER sensitive for “response”-style interactions. Even pressing this detector up against an active electrical outlet will not trigger it initially. So we know when this detector goes off or “beeps”, that its an actual disturbance in the EMF field of significance. Here, we had the detector lying on the floor in an area which we had previously swept during the pre-investigation phase and was totally clear of random EMF hits. The investigators asked for a beep-response on the device.
Conclusion(s)
Given the fact that this home has been on our radar for 6+ years, it's considered a priority. And the homeowners continue to experience beyond just “paranormal activity” but have both (referring to the adults in the home) experienced bouts of personal oppression and experiencing thoughts which weren't their own. It is the homeowners opinion that no evidence of non-human entities was recorded during this investigation because the aggressive spirit was with them when they were away from the home during our investigation. Given the experiences both adults in the home have experienced, this is a possibility. We have assigned this case (at the request of the residents of the home) to our spiritual cleansers/demonologists. Our group continues to maintain a position of non-denomination religiously, but are open to all religious backgrounds/practices and feel like a cleansing of the home and the adult homeowners would be beneficial. We consider this case still open pending approval of the cleansers at St. Michael's and will attach their conclusion(s) to this case upon completion.
