Location: Local residence in Danbury CT.
Time or Date: 11/28/97
Investigators: Orlando, Gary Husveth, and Jeff Loudsberry
Equipment Used: EMF detector, Digital Thermometer, Digital camera, 35mm Camera, Audio Cassette Recorder.

Overview: This investigation was conducted in an apartment located in Danbury CT where Orlando and his family used to live. The current occupants of the apartment are a family of 3 which consist of a wife, husband, and their 4 year old boy. The history of the house is still unclear, but the age of the house is well over 80 years. The apartment in question is the second floor which has 2 bedrooms, a small living room, a spacious kitchen that has a two step drop down from the living room. There is an entrance way with stairs to the attic located in the hallway. We arrived at about 7:30 PM on a Saturday evening and got aquatinted with the wife and child. The occupants have a Dalmatian named Pepper which was very friendly, and playful. While taping with a micro cassette recorder, Gary and I asked the wife questions about some of the disturbances that they were experiencing while Jeff took EMF readings along with temperature readings with his Digital Thermometer. Some of the disturbances included, strange noises in the middle of the night, and the sense of a presence by all members of the family. The biggest complaint was by the wife and she said that when she is alone washing dishes in the kitchen, she always feels as though someone is standing behind her. We tried to ask the little boy if he had ever seen strange people or things, but nothing conclusive came from that.
 
Findings: Gary has the micro cassette of the interview with the wife and he is still examining it, but as of today, nothing has come from the tape. The husband was not available for any questions as he was away on a hunting trip. While we were taking photos and examining the apartment, Jeff informed us that he did not pick up any unusual EMF readings or any temperature drops. However, while up in the Attic, Jeff did hear a peculiar metal on metal contact sound faintly. There were no abnormal EMF readings or any sudden temperature drops but the audio tapes were still rolling and they are still being examined. One other strange thing which occurred was when we were questioning the wife in the kitchen. Orlando asked her about the dog's behavior when these disturbances occurred and she said that she didn't think there was anything too unusual. But, when Gary and Jeff tried to get the dog to come into the kitchen, the dog would only come to the first step of the drop down and never enter the kitchen. We tried again to get the dog to come in the kitchen in many ways, even physically pushing her but she refused to enter the kitchen. Jeff asked the wife if she or her husband had ever scolded the dog for coming into the kitchen before, but she said they hadn't and this is where the dog eats it's meals. At one point, the dog showed it's teeth and ran backwards to the living room when nobody was around her. We all went into the living room with the dog where she played with us as if we knew her and nothing happened. Digital and 35mm photographs are being examined.
 
Our Opinion: Based on Orlando's experiences and findings we believe this house to be haunted. We are not sure as to who or what is haunting it, but we will continue to investigate.
