investigating the newport house

For photos and evidence please visit www.ocparanormalsociety.com.


The owner of a house in Newport Beach contacted OCPS to help him with strange occurrences in his home. Over the past four years there were sounds of footsteps, electrical spikes, creeks and even quarters flipping. The final straw: One evening while watching TV with his girlfriend, which is satellite, the image turned to snow and a silhouette of an old woman appeared, crouching and looking to crawl out of the TV, also known as the Sea Hag. We were very excited!


Oh and the house was complete with stripper polls, lounge area, bars, keg-o-rators and many, many drunk people wondering where the party was. After drinking way too much the night before, this house was making me sick.


Once again working with our friends, NOPS, this investigation was going to be broadcasted live on the Web. Again, very exciting!


As Brigid and I were taking base readings throughout the house we ventured into the main bedroom. In the doorway that leads into the bathroom I was turning to leave when something pulled my sweater. This is the first time I had ever experienced something like this and I have to tell you... it was thrilling.


A couple minutes later we headed to the basement. Completely alone in the house, we all heard light footsteps above us. Directly above us was the closet - later on in the night this would all make sense.


9:30 p.m.
Show time! We begin the live investigation. While filming the promo, Dray feels something tug at his jacket. Whatever is in this house, it likes f*ing with us.


** We have some downtime since there are multiple groups investigating the house. I go to the "command center" to view what people are writing on the live message board and see that my brother and his girlfriend think "I am magical".  Thanks guys. **


Starting at 11:17 p.m.
Brigid, Dray and I are up. We begin in the main bedroom to see if the teaser ghost is still with us and try to lure the Sea Hag out of the TV. Once in the room the K2 meter had an immediate spike.  A couple minutes later we asked for the entity to touch the meter and again, a spike.  Something is with us.


Sam radios and tells Brigid and me that we are too close together and we should spread out.  We found out later in the night that a psychic was watching the investigation and saw three entities in the room: a woman, a little girl and something that was a bully.  The woman and girl were in the closet and it seemed as if they were scared of us so it would be better if Brigid and i separated; hopefully making them feel more comfortable.


Still not knowing about the woman and girl, I heard a click come from the closet. Unfortunately it was very hard to hear with every drunk, insane Newporters walking down the street.


We decide to investigate the basement. I'm not going to lie, I did not want to be alone in that area, just something felt creepy and the footsteps earlier in the night didn't help. I knew I was on the Internet... live... so I sucked it up... in the dark basement. The atmosphere was very still, therefore no drafts. Almost immediately we start feeling cold spots and then the K2 meter flickered all the way to red.


We continually get more spikes and it becomes very cold. Then as sudden as it started, it stopped. We can still hear every douche in Newport walk by the house.


Then footsteps... where we were hearing the light footsteps, as if they were by a child (a little girl perhaps), were in the closet. The cold spots return and the K2 flickers again. More light footsteps then a loud footstep - the bully? I caught the loud footstep on my recorder.  Sweet.


Brigid and I feel an intense cold spot; so cold that our hands are cold from it. Brigid's hand is freezing. The air is very still.  We check for any sign of a draft and cannot find one. Again coinciding with the cold spot, we hear the light footsteps running above us.  No one is in the house.  There is too much activity above us so we decide to go up to the living room.


While walking into the living room from the bedroom, Brigid sees a shadow walk across the hall by the second bathroom. It's too hard to tell because of the car lights reflecting throughout the house. In the living room we can literally hear every meathead in Newport. I can smell the Drakkar Noir through the door.


No activity in the living room so we go back to the bedroom. It almost seems as if the entity we are hunting is trying to move away from us, although one thing is for sure, something keeps pulling us to the bedroom. On our way to the bedroom, Brigid and Dray hear something in the second bathroom so we go and investigate.  Literally, where ever we go, it moves. Jerk ghost... or it's scared. In the bathroom, no activity.


Back in the bedroom we are then radioed that it's time to switch.


** More down time. I ponder why I am such a cool chick. I bring out my leftovers from lunch and we feast on cold pizza at 1:00 a.m. A friend texts me and I try to explain that I am a ghost hunter in my spare time.  He doesn't believe me so I give up. Brigid and I learn about the woman and little girl in the closet as well as the bully that is in the doorway between the bedroom and bathroom - where my sweater was tugged earlier. **


2:04 a.m.
Round two with Brigid and Michael. We go back down to the basement. The only way to the basement is to go through the main bedroom, into the closet and downstairs. As soon as we enter the closet we get a spike on the K2 meter.


In the basement, Michael comments that the camera is having a hard time focusing. Something could be walking in front of the camera, causing it to focus or perhaps it's draining the battery to use the energy itself. Or the camera could be crap.


We start to hear footsteps again, but this time it sounds different.  We think there's another team in the closet, which only proves the footsteps earlier were not another member of the investigation team, but something else.


To be fair, and that includes being fair to ghosts, we ask "if you want us to leave please make a noise". I heard a tap directly in front of Brigid; a tap so loud I thought it was Brigid making the noise. A couple minutes later, another K2 spike.


We are radioed that there is 30 minutes left of the investigation. We need to go back to that bedroom.


On the way up the stairs, in the closet, we get a massive K2 spike. The K2 meter is flickering red and not stopping. The NOPS team is in the bedroom and as they approached the closet, the flickering stopped. We think it was scared away again.


We are then told the "bully" or something evil was in the doorway between the bathroom and bedroom again. I want this bully to do something since it is scaring the woman and little girl. I stand in the doorway. Nothing. This tease is a freaking jerk!


For the closing ceremonies we all meet in the basement for one last EVP session. Nothing. Whatever is in this house, it is scared easily and likes to tease - or perhaps it's two entities. We have to come back - during the week when Newport douches sleep and buy more cologne.
