Alledged Paranormal Activity - This house had it all - apparitions, orbs, voices, footsteps, stange mists or fog rising from the floor, floating objects and even direct orders from the spirits themselves

History of the house:
The family tore down an old farm house that was once the Sattering* Farm. It predated the Civil War. The Sattering Family purchase the house from unknown tenants around 1905. The family had a full scale farm on the land that provided food for the family. There were a few tragedies that plagued the
family. The family consisted of 2 boys and one girl. One of the boys had an unfortunate accident and had to have one of his legs amputated at the age of seven. As he grew older he had some kind of dispute with the family and disappeared to never be heard from again. The daughter starved to death at the age of 19 and is buried in the corner of the local church about a half a mile from the house. No one knows why she starved.  Once the house was bulldozed a new ranch style house was put up in its place. For the past 21 years the new house has had a lot of "paranormal" occurances.

Looks like eyes and pink lips in the door.

Althought we never had a face to face encounter with the spirits I (Bobbie) did catch a glimpse of a white figure with a long white garment (woman I think) and a dark brown figure (unsure of sex) out of the corner of my eye.  All of use could sense their presence and it could be measured with temperature drops that were usually a 10 degree difference.  There were no drafts or vents in these areas.  When the Montel Williams show came in October 99 to spend Halloween weekend they manage to catch a stealth mode predator figure in the shape of a man walking down the hall.  Unfortunately we did not so we are going back in March of 2001 to try to get better video and pictures.
