The Rafterman Investigation
Glen Lyon, Pennsylvania
Case # 02-19-12-06

On 02/19/12 DeadLine Paranormal received an invite to investigate a private residence in Glen Lyon Pennsylvania by the property owner. For anonymity and report purposes we will refer to her as Ms.G. 

 

Ms.G informed Deadline Paranormal about the possibility of paranormal activity happening within her home. She then informed us of some of the activity and happenings in the house. Ms. G stated she has had items such as car keys and other small objects moved from the last known location she had placed them. Another incident is when her son witnessed what appeared to be a shadow figure standing near his bed in the early morning hours. Ms. G said she has not witnessed the shadowman but she did see a glowing or bright energy appear in the hallway while she was in her bedroom. Ms. G also described the strange behavior her cat has been displaying. The cat seems to be reacting to something or someone unseen. On a few occasions the cat would appear to be resting and then would begin to stare toward the stairs the cats tail would puff out and the cat would retreat to another room.

On 02/19/12 DeadLine Paranormal members Jim and Tony started this investigation in the early evening by meeting with the owner of the house Ms. G. We then informed her of the steps we intended to take throughout the course of the night. Our equipment was then explained, prepped and setup. After our initial steps we swept the house with the KII meter and Mel Meter to check for E.M.F spikes or disturbances within the house. To our surprise there was no E.M.F interference in the house that was noticeable by the two devices. We then moved to our still camera and started to document the house with still photography. After approximately 30 minutes we moved on to audio and video surveillance using a Sony Handy Cam  and two digital sound recorders in attempts to capture video and or audio evidence.( known as E.V.P evidence ) After approximately an hour into the investigation we decided it was time to use the ovilus-x device along with the DTD (Visual Text Display box.) We immediately received a response from the ovilus after start up. Some of the words relayed were "Mercury Saturn  Wormhole Awards and Under Sink." We also got a numeric countdown from 10 to 1 as for example a space A shuttle launch. At that present time the words the ovilus spoke did not make sense. Later we entered the basement( Tony with video and Jim investigating), the above words started to make some sense We uncovered some old newspaper articles and writing on the rafters that were obstructed by fiberglass. As we continued to uncover clues by moving the insulation aside, we found such articles as the First Execution in U.S in Nearly 10 Years. This was a newspaper article of the execution ofGary Gilmore dated in handwriting Jan 17,1976, 3 designers for bicentennial coins to get awards of $5,000 dated 1974 and also written in a white chalky substance which may be better described as tailor chalk, was 24,4000 miles to the moon. These articles were then photographed and labeled as evidence with our still camera. We then began to think were the words the ovilus was saying upstairs matching up with real physical evidence we located in the rafters in the basement? What was rafterman trying to tell us? We then continued on to a door in the basement that happened to be barricaded with an old heavy kitchen table. Ms. G informed us that she doesn't go in there for any reason because she said it's  scary. At this time I asked permission to enter this room. Permission was then granted via the homeowner and we then moved the obstruction and proceeded to open the door. When the door was open there was a drop off approximately 4 feet deep with other materials on the floor blocking me from entering. At this time Tony filmed the area with the portable camera. It was here that we caught the unexplained clip located in the video of some type of small energy orb that comes into the camera frame, hovers by the bottom right side of the window before it appears to drift higher. At this time the ovilus box said the word fall, the camera then moved to the left and the energy orb descended in a diagonal retreat before it went behind the medal tank located in the room. It appears the orb began to loose it's round shape. We ruled out dust because in the opening frames of the video you will clearly see dust moving from the right to the left and the flight pattern is obviously a different pattern from the hovering orb. After the scary room we  barricaded the door and proceeded to the middle of the basement where I entered a small bathroom and began to read off some of the writing on the wall. As I start to back out of the bathroom door, you will observe in the next segment on video a spark of energy on my shirt located around my left rib area and then a second later you will see an orb shoot out of my back and disappeare, leaving the area covered by the camera. After the bathroom we went to the rear of the basement where an orb was caught speeding in a upward diagonal direction before disappearing. This clip is very hard to see as it only last four tenths of a second. As we moved to the extreme rear of the basement the ovilus box said "produce" and "Light." At this time we captured a light or energy anomaly fluctuating and descending in a downward diagonal direction. Again this object was captured with the area covered by the camera and disappeared before leaving the covered area. Before leaving the basement, the owner was captured on camera near the basement stairs and our camera picked up an orb shoot out from her hair. The orb appeared the same size and shape as the orb captured on video shooting out from my back. Although we cannot show you this do to anonymity purposes, it was truly an amazing piece of evidence we captured. After leaving the basement we proceeded upstairs to the bedroom area. As we entered the bedroom areas, we did not observe visually or any audibly anything out of the ordinary. After talking with the owner we felt we should end our investigation for the night. The owner agreed and we left the residence. 

 

After two weeks and several hours of investigative work we found that this house had 14 owners since 1875. In 1875 to 1908 we obtained this information through several deeds books from the current year of 2012 back to 1875. The house was erected and used by the Susquehanna Coal Company in 1875. After 1908 it was sold to a miner named George -----. Around the approximate year of 1927 George ----- sold the house to Paul and Helen -----------. Around the approximate year of 1940 Paul and Helen ----------- sold the residence to Alfred and Alberta ---------. Around the approximate year of 1945 the residence was purchased by Albert and Agnes --------. Around the approximate year of 1947 the residence was purchased by Stanley and Emma --------. Around the approximate year of 1988 Diane purchased the home. Around the approximate year of 1993 John purchased the home. The names of the owners from this date forward will remain secret. The house was then sold again 2004. The bank was transferred twice between 2004 and 2007 to different financial institutions before sold in 2007. This brings us to our current owner who purchased the house in 2011. 

 

Within our findings we found that one of the owners was a Game Commission Officer and a veteran of WWII. We then looked through some of the data that was collected from the Ovilus X during our investigation. The words "Help Country" also "Memories, Disaster, Drop, Foe, Observed, Water, Carrier, Bomb, Affair, England, Africa, Wars, Shoot" was the ex owner speaking through the Ovilus to tell us  his experiences of WWII which was unknown to the investigators at that time. The Ovilus also said the words "Tree, Apple, Rabbit, Green Foliage, Business," Was this same spirit telling us that he was a game commission officer? The Ovilus also said some names "Harriet, Paul and Veronica" As we stated before this information was unknown during the investigation but after some research we found a Harriet with the same last name as the home owner. We didn't find a Veronica but we did find a Victoria also with the same last name of the ex owner. Also Paul who is listed above was a former owner of the house. This investigation harvested a lot of hard evidence. Investigation is still open.
