Okies...at the end of October of this year we were invited to investigate the Emmitt House restaurant in Waverly, OH. It was a fairly uneventful evening for the majority of the crew...the only substantial things that happened were we all heard a bunch of pans rattling in the kitchen, and when three of us girls tried to provoke a male entity (the building was basically off limits to women until the 1970s) we got some steady EMF fluctuations. Oh, and of course the interference of the little girl singing Oh, Suzanna! on the walkie talkie, hehe.

For me...I had an eventful night, lol. During the tour, I sat and watched for a good 5 seconds or so a man in a white shirt mop the bar with a white towel. During the course of the evening, my head started to hurt worse and worse. By the time we wrapped things up, I was literally nauseous my head hurt so bad. I had driven myself to this investigation, which was a good 2.5 hours from my house so the founders made me stay on the phone with them the whole time home because they were afraid I was gonna pass out, lol. As soon as I got home, I completely crashed and didn't wake up for 18 hours (which is really odd for me, hehe. Most of ya have probably noticed I stay up pretty much all hours of the night an day).

Sometime during that nearly day long slumber, I had a HORRIBLE dream about being trapped in a room in the third floor of that place (which used to be a hotel). I was slightly younger than I am now, and a man around my age with dark hair wouldn't let me leave. It was an extremely lucid dream in the sense that I didn't know I was dreaming, but it was so real that I could consciously think and react...not just watch as an omnipotent third party. I remember being terrified and sitting in an old wooden chair without arm rests...and I wasn't sure why I was being kept there. Apparently, according to my mom, I had woken myself up twice screaming, but I don't remember waking up.

When I finally did wake up, all hell broke loose at my house. Every single pot and pan we have we store under the stove in a cabinet...and every single pot and pan we own found its way out all over the kitchen floor in a tremendous crash while I was the only one in the house (even all the animals were outside). I got up to use the bathroom and came back into my room less than 5 minutes later to see a very heavy box that was on the top shelf of the closet was now sitting in the middle of my bed (again, no one home but me).

The usual activity increased as well...the phone ringing despite the fact we no longer have a land line, whispers, and footsteps in the hall. I said out loud that if someone DID follow me home from the Emmitt House, they'd have to play nicely with the other ghosts, stop causing me to have bad dreams, or they'd be forced to leave. I even talked to Rosemary Ellen Guiley about how to deal with removing it, lol. It took the hint and no more bad dreams.

So fast forward to today. I posted the video from Emmitt on here the other day, and then when the issue of baby monitors came up on the TAPS board, I posted it again. As I was posting, it felt like something bit me. I looked down and somehow I scratched myself on something...but I don't know what. There isn't anything sharp on my computer desk or on my clothes...and it looks like a kitty cat scratch, but I haven't even SEEN my cat today. Is it possible since I was posting about this issue that the scratch is related?

Another aspect I was considering is RSPK. I'm going through a really tough time right now, and the scratch is on my wrist...pretty emo like.

Hehe...and since everyone asks for pictures...not too impressive...and they're really blurry. I didn't get the Stigmata or anything, but it sure did hurt like hell, lol. Really...if you've ever gotten a scratch from a cat, that's exactly what it looks like:

It seems that it could be.......did you get any bad vibes at all from that place.

Given your history of activity at your house, it almost sounds like you have entities that are jealous, or were provoked by what you posted. The pots and pans, etc. that you witnessed are almost invariably the work of a poltergeist, which probably means you are the focus of the activity. That's evidenced by the scratch on your arm. As you are well aware, poltergeist activity is generally centered around a person rather than a place. The nausea and headaches sounds like the high EMF field was messing with you, causing you discomfort. Did you get any video of the guy wiping the bar? That would be awesome if you did. From someone that isn't trained in poltergeist activity, I would say the best thing for you is to just try to let any negative or powerful feelings slide "off your back" and the activity should diminish. Poltergeists feed off emotional energy.

We're here for you, babe. Anything happens in addition to this, let us know. You aren't alone!!

High emf is the first thing I thought of, because I'm EMF sensitive...but the base readings on the place were .3mG...and the spikes we experienced only went to 3.0. It was a much older building and not very clean on the upper floors, hehe...so my next guess would be the headache and tummy ache came from either mold and mildew, or possibly even the cleaning products down in the restaurant/bar area.

And nope...no video. We had actually just gotten there and the tech crew was bringing all the equipment in. As the interviewer and research manager/interviewer, I was taking a quick tour with the founder and the tech manager...and I sorta wandered off a few feet from the group when I saw it and called them over, but it was already gone. I run a voice recorder during interviews/tours, and nothing odd was caught.

I didn't feel a bad vibe there per se...just drained, which I thought had nothing to do with paranormal activity...just thought I was reacting to something in the environment. The only time I even felt uncomfortable was down in the basement. When we were getting ready to wrap up, I just wanted to get the hell out of there so I went to the basement alone (big no-no) to start breaking down cameras. As I started to go down into one room that we had the camerea set up (because employees had seen a man in there) I was paralyzed with fear and couldn't shake it. So...I just stood there like an idiot for a few minutes until someone else came down there, lol.

I just now made the connection of pans rattling at the restaurant, and then MY pans crashing out of the cabinet. Honestly, I didn't put a lot of faith in the pans at the restaurant. We all ran in there and were there within 15 seconds, and nothing. We were able to only recreate the exact sound we heard by physically shaking some pans and their lids on the prep line. Nothing was outta place like it would have been like it had fallen, so I was thinking RAT, hehe. We did catch the sound on audio, but the video didn't pick anything up.

And yeah, I'm guessing that the majority of stuff going on at my house, especially my wrist last night is poltergeist related. I don't think it can account for apparitions, especially things being seen when I'm not here and by other people, but a lot of things, like the apports and the noises are classic textbook examples. And...I do kinda see things pick up when I'm at lower points in my life...but damnit, 25 is too old to have consistently been an agent for 15 years lol.

Has your scratched healed..........

[TheresaHPIR]

Has your scratched healed..........

It's still pink, but not that scabby look that scratches get...and its not...like bloody fresh meat looking, either, hehe. Here's a pic I just took:

[alfreddajero]

Okay thats good then......do you by any chance have holy water laying around the house.....i know Jen has went through this a lot at the old place we lived in and holy water seemed to make it disappear. Im glad your doing okay.

[TheresaHPIR]

I come from a family of atheists...not sure if Holy Water would help right now...but if things progress or continue, I may be breaking out my own contact list of clergy and preachers, hehe.

[alfreddajero]

It was just a thought..........lol.....and im sure that you have lots of contacts when it comes to that.

[TheresaHPIR]

Hehehe, well, it looks like we've already had a Christmas visitor this morning....a MUCH nicer one than apparently has been around lately, lol.

I was in my mom's bed opening up the presents she got me and her stereo switched itself on, and then from CD to radio mode just in time for Van Halen's I Can't Stop Lovin' You to come on. When the song went off, the radio went off. Again, I can't help but think RSPK...because there is definitely someone I'm apart from right now that I'd like to be spending Christmas with.

A little bit later I took the wrapping paper and other trash to the garage to throw it away, and my mom went to the kitchen...and swore she saw someone standing in my room wearing black. She didn't get a good look at the person because she thought it was me.

WOW!!!! Merry Christmas, T!! Sounds like you got some confirmation on a special day, huh?

[alfreddajero]

I would love to spend a day at your house.........thanks for sharing this with us.

[TheresaHPIR]

Okay, I think I'm losing my freaking mind, lol.

I have severe ADD and I do my best concentrating at night and, oddly enough, in the relaxation of a bubble bath, lol. I'm working on my personal website and really needed to write up some summaries of various haunted locales, one of them being, Emmitt House.

I was sitting in the tub and had just finished writing what I wanted to say. I put my notebook down on the toilet seat and proceeded to take an academic break and actually bathe, lol. I got a squirt of the face wash I use and washed my face, but when I went down to my neck, I felt a really bad sting.

I got out of the tub and found three scratch marks going down my collar bone. It looks like the times where I've had my iguana up on my shoulder and she's accidently scratched me, but I haven't held her or my cat all day...nor even yesterday or the day before. I bite my nails so they're pretty short, but that also means that sometimes they're kinda jagged, so its not impossible that I did this to myself without realizing it. The only discrepancy is...I'm a four nail scratcher, lol. I dunno...I guess its just a really odd coincidence that twice now I've gotten scratched when writing about that place. And even then, I might still be just paranoid. I'm not exactly sure WHEN these scratches showed up...I only noticed them when they got wet. I do think, however, that they probably had to have occurred after 10pm. That's when I changed into my PJ's and brushed my teeth, and I didn't see them.

Pics right after I noticed the scratches:

[TheresaHPIR]

Edited to Add: Hehe, I've been playing around trying to see if I could recreate this. To make those scratches myself, I would have to use my left hand--but I'm right-handed. But...when I look closely, it DOES seem like there are four distinct scratches...and as I said in my last post, I'm a four finger scratcher. I've been trying to scratch the hell out of myself to make the same pattern, but my nails just aren't that sharp right now...I can't recreate it with my nails on either hand.

About 20 minutes after they were noticed:

[alfreddajero]

it doesnt look the same at all..........
