Combs

BACKGROUND
:  The client’s husband passed away as the result of a fire behind the
client’s home, approximately one year prior to the investigation.  Immediate after
his passing, the client started experiencing his presence, in the general
atmosphere of the home, perceptions of his form, his voice, and the presence of his
cologne in the air of the residence, the smell of which would come and go, as
opposed to a residual background lingering.  Some electronics were switched off
and on intermittently with no one around.  These perceptions were experienced by
the client, her son, and her daughter.  The client felt the necessity to move to
another state.  The client felt indecision in the choice of remaining with what she
felt was the presence of her husband, and moving away to leave the unpleasant
memories of the fire and its tragic results.  

At the time of the investigation, all furniture and household furnishings had been
removed from the home.

INITIAL INDICATIONS:  The phenomena as reported are consistent with the post
mortem apparition phenomenon.

EQUIPMENT:  Digital still cameras, motion detectors, EMF meters including Tri-field,
digital thermometers, various digital audio recorders, digital mini cam, and P.E.A.R
REG-1 unit with Hewlett-Packard computer for detection of anomalous
consciousness.

INVESTIGATION:  At the time of the investigation, no anomalies were detected on
audio, video, or still camera.  EMF readings and temperature were normal.  Four of
nine anomalous consciousness tests were statistically significant, 44%.  By chance
only, nine studies, the expected amount would be, at minimum reporting standards, .
45, less than one.  The bedroom with the electronics being switched off/on, yielded
no significant results, at the time and particular area of testing.  The main areas
showing statistically reportable results were the two bathrooms, and the master
bedroom.

                           Peak    z= 2.655                               Peak  p< .003965

The statistical probability of these four graphs being chance only, not anomalous, is
as follows, considering all four as a unit:

Mean p< .00000008496
Peak  p< .000000002022

CONCLUSIONS
:  No anomalous data was indicated by video, audio, or still
photography at the time, or in the particular areas tested, at this residence.  No
anomalous EMF fields or temperature drops were indicated at the time and in the
areas of testing.  The main areas showing significant signs of an anomalous
consciousness were the master bedroom, and the two bathrooms.  The master
bedroom was indicated by the client to be an area showing significant signs of
anomalous presence.  At the time of the investigation, the furniture had been
removed from the home, and the family had been out of town for several days.  One
of the main traits of the post mortem apparition is to return to family, home, and
familiar surroundings.  At this time, the home itself was the main tie to the previous
life, if the phenomena were occurring.  This is the line of thinking, resulting in
testing on the bathroom areas, with significant results.  After visual inspection of
the graphs and data, I conferred with the client regarding the remote possibility that
had been the impetus behind the testing of those particular areas.  These two areas
were the only two areas still containing the possibility of a remote, theoretical tie to
a prior memory, since the furniture had been removed, and the family out of state.  
The client stated that the speculative theory was correct, and that, upon returning
home from work, her husband would usually, and with great fondness, spend
extended time either in the shower, or soaking in the tub, both of which were
among the few remaining fixtures in the home that could be the source of a past
fond attachment.  Given the reports of the client, who had described in detail, the
presence of a post mortem apparition, and the data garnered by consciousness
studies, I believe that the possibility exists that this was an example of a post
mortem apparition.  We wish to, again, issue our condolences to the client and her
family.  We wish them the best in their relocation, and thank them for allowing us a
visit in their home.
