   Property:   Historical Victorian style home built in 1903.

   Information Obtained:    On the above date the OKC-PRG conducted a base line investigation. The findings of this investigation will be listed in two parts. The first shall be the raw data that the group was able to obtain. Due to equipment technical difficulties we are unable to include the information from Team 1's walk through, you will find particulars listed in this section as to what equipment failed and where.
The second part of this report shall be the Psychic's impressions, as they have written them.

Part One: Raw Data

Raw Data Report
   Team 1 had equipment technical difficulties that affected the recording equipment, although the equipment was checked and tested prior to starting the investigation, the two walking logs failed to record for some undetermined reason. From memory we know that there was an EMF reading in Room 10, although we are unsure to what intensity. One of two TriField Naturals set on magnetic failed to properly stabilize the entire night, a phenomena that wasn't due to shifting magnetic fields. It should be noted that the following night it was utilized and operated perfectly. No photographic anomalies were recorded.

Team 2 data that was recorded is as follows:

Conclusions:

As with all base line investigations the data that is collected may give off the impression of being sparse, but in reality is the most important part of Investigating and Researching. Without this data there is no basis for any future findings.
In the opinion of the Researchers of the OKC-PRG, a follow up investigation is not only prudent to finding some answers to Unknown Anomalies but truly desired. As the team thoroughly enjoyed this location and the participants we had join us.
