Prolog: In
April 2008 Long Island Paranormal Investigators
was contacted
by this client to investigate reported paranormal activity in their Bellrose
(Queens) home.
Investigation house in Bellrose, NY.
Historical background:
According to the residents, the house was built around 1946 and had only had 1 prior owner. In 1988 there was a tragic fire that claimed the lives of 2 small boys.
One was 4 years old and the other was just an infant. From what we were told, the oldest boy had run out to the back door to tell his mom, who was outside
at the time, that it was hot. When he ran back inside the door locked behind him
and his mother couldn’t get back inside the house. The electrical fire spread quickly
and there was no way to get to the kids. When the fire department arrived and tried to get up the stairs to the children were, the stair
case collapsed. Unfortunately the 2 little boys perished. The 4 year olds' body was found underneath the crib in the nursery.
Reportedly he died of a heart attack from the trauma. That room is the kids room of the current residents.
Reported paranormal activity:
The current owners have been living in this house for 8 years
and the activity began a few months after moving in. When the daughter was a few
years old, she would claim to see "angels" and would hear what sounded like a child’s voice asking her to play. The 2 younger kids are not comfortable sleeping in their room alone. They believe that the spirit of husband’s mother, who passed away, can also be felt every once in a while. But they don’t think that that is the cause for the strange phenomena. They also believe that 2 of the children are sensitive to the phenomena, which could explain why the 2 kids are experiencing
events the most.

The investigation team: The LIPI members who attended this investigation
are Lead Investigators Rob Levine and Jaiem Fleischmann,
investigator/case manager Thelma D'Amico, investigator/sensitive Peter Ferraro,
and investigators/tech crew Craig Sordyl and Paul Guarino.
The investigation setup: Long Island Paranormal
Investigators performed a "lights out" investigation of
the house. The Tech Team set up 4 DVR cameras. One camera was located in
basement room, one in the master bedroom looking down the hallway, one in the
second floor children's room, and one in the third floor bed room. Our
wireless motion sensor was placed in
the basement laundry room. Our digital
thermometers were place in the basement room and stairway to the third
floor.

A variety of EMF detectors such as the
Cell Sensor,
K2 meter, and Digital EMF. Several Geiger counters that pick up
Microwave,
radio and
gamma radiation were used. We
used a variety of thermometers that includes
surface IR temperature and
ambient readings. We also used Digital voice recorders in hopes to capture
EVP's
(Electronic Voice Phenomena) and Digital and
35mm photos.

The investigation:
Due to the small size of the house the investigation dividend into two groups.
One group would investigate the areas of the
house while the other team stayed back to watch the DVR monitor for any reported
activity during the investigation. Half way through the investigation the groups
would switch.

Findings:
Photographs: Digital and 35mm photos revealed no paranormal activity.
Video: DVR and Hi-8 video revealed no paranormal activity.
EMF: EMF readings ranged from 0 to 2.5
throughout the house. These low level make it unlikely the home owner's
observations of paranormal activity are the result of EMF sensitivity or
Fear Cage phenomena.
Temperature/Thermal: No unusual variations in
temperature were recorded.
