This location is a public area where the oldest historic house in Mountain View is still located today. The grounds and garden are public, with the inside of the home available during guided tours only or as an event rental. The owner of the house played a big role in the development of the local area by using land to farm, raise cattle, and increased the economy by building a ship port. After he died, other family members moved into the house. It is now an historic landmark.
Since we were limited to the outside of the house during the investigation, we went when there would be minimal distruption from ambient noises. While the grounds are very well kept, there is a calming feeling to the location. There weren't any personal experiences, in fact, we were surprised to hear EVPs during the audio review. None of our detectors went off for EMF, nor was anything found on UV/IR cameras. This is solely an EVP-based evidence collection. Inside the actual house likely yields much more interactive entities; however, the owners will not allow investigators inside due to possible association with the paranormal and we respect that.
UNFORTUNATELY, this is outside and right at the bay so there's always a breeze, which really ruins the audio. We captured a lot of whispery EVPs, but had to throw them out. The wind manifests as choppy noise on the audio. We will go back with a wind screen next time to hopefully get better audio. The spirits there were very talkative and friendly it seems.
