Investigator Accounts
From Visiting Paranormal Groups
These groups contacted the property independently and shared their accounts afterward. Their visits are presented here for historical and informational context. Four Winds does not coordinate, schedule, or offer investigations.
Upon arriving and beginning their walk-through near the stairwell, an investigator reported a penny dropping to the floor near her feet from no apparent source — she had nothing in her pockets. The team described this as one of the first unexplained occurrences of the night.
Later, in a room at the top of the stairs, investigators noticed a black T-shirt under a chair. When they asked caretakers about it, they confirmed the room had been vacuumed before the group arrived and nothing had been left there.
The team also experienced a complete, brief power outage affecting the whole property — described by caretakers as something that had not happened before. Equipment that had malfunctioned during the investigation was found to be fully functional once the team returned home.
Texpart Paranormal concluded they believed the activity at the property to be intelligent rather than residual, and described all apparent entities as non-negative and connected to the home.
This group reported hearing voices upstairs during their investigation, with camera coverage in place. One camera malfunctioned during the session, with the SD card corrupted in a way the team described as unusual. They were still working to recover data at the time they submitted their account.
Their account closed with gratitude for access to what they described as a great historic property.
