An API First!

An API First!

It is always exciting to experience something for the first time.
We had just such an experience yesterday.

We have been Paranormal Investigating for years now.
We do basic investigations.
Meaning we do not carry and use a lot of equipment.

We rely on our senses, our digital recorder for evps,
our camera for photo evidence
and the Spirit Box SB7 for verbal communication.
We do not find any lack of evidence doing it this way at all.

Yesterday we also did a short video recording at the location we were at.
We captured orbs and a shadow person in our video.
That is a first for us at API as that was the first time we incorporated video into an investigation.
Exciting!

I tend to do evidence review in the evenings or late into the night.
I woke Doug up out of his sound sleep last night so excited and talking so fast that
it actually took him a couple of minutes to understand what I was trying to tell him.
Of course,
the fact that I didn't wake him up "gently" ...
but rather with
"Oh my gosh!  Oh my gosh!"
And talking so fast I couldn't even understand myself!
LOL

He finally understood me enough to come over and look at the video.

I can't wait to go through the recordings that we collected but it will have to wait until
I finish evidence review for our previous client.

Soooooo ...
when I am ready to sit down with this collection of evidence at the end of this week ...
the pictures are uploaded ...
the video is uploaded ...
the digital recordings are ready to listen to ...
and ...
I bought a new pair of ear bud head phones last night!
Yes!

Thank you for stopping by the blog.
We are grateful that you get excited for us and our work.

For those of you who are new to our blog and might now know what a Spirit Box SB7 is ...
the simple explanation is this ... 
It is a white noise frequency scanner that can be used to receive and hear verbal communication.
We have a lot of success using this piece of equipment.

Until next time ...

Evidence Review

We did an investigation July 22nd in Pittsfield, IL.
I'm working on evidence review now.
We are looking forward to hearing and seeing what we might have gathered for them
Both on the camera and on the digital recorder.
There was some pretty awesome captures already on their surveillance recordings.
I'm already getting interactive answers on the digital recordings of one of the spirit box sessions.
So, while the rest of the house retires to go to bed for the night ...
Yes ...
We are night owls ...
It is 12:16am and they are just now going to bed.
I most likely will be up all night listening and taking notes of what I find.

Here at API ... Aegis Paranormal Investigations ...
We do our best to help people.
We have both experienced our own experiences before we met.

Photo Full of Energy


This is a photo that we captured.
There is an abundance of energy and a lot of things going on.
The following photos will all be crops of this main picture that have been enlarged so we can see the details better.  
Once you've seen the enlargements,
you will be able to look back at this original picture and still pick out 
what you see in the enlargements.


We may differ from other groups involved in paranormal research because of the fact
that we don't always look at things as "good and bad" ...
or "good or evil" ...
Just because we don't understand something
does not make it bad or evil.
I will tell you that there is nothing in this photo that scared us.
We did not feel any bad energy while on location 
or even when this picture was taken.

That said ... let us show you what we found.
There is so much going on but we're only going to focus on what we think you will be able to see easily.


The first thing you will notice in the above photo are the blue orbs.
They even have tails, which suggest they were in motion.

The next thing we noticed was a man in overall style coveralls and a blue hoodie.
Look at the top of the fridge ... on the right half ...
you will see the brown bibs ... the straps going up over his shoulders ... his neck ...
his head and face ...
you see his arms at his side.  
Once you see this you can also look downward and see his legs.

The next thing we noticed was a skull on the top of the cabinet to the right of his face.


The first thing that got our attention in the above photo is the bright blue area with some sort of metal tools laying on it.
I'm not sure why, but these seem like surgical tools to me.
That is the feeling that I got from them.

Right below that you can see two pieces of metal with something white between them and what
appears to us to be an adjustment screw for opening and closing those two pieces of metal.
When zoomed in that appears to be a white thermometer laying there.
One of those automatic ones that you put under your tongue and it beeps and gives you
a read out of what your temperature is.

I also see the figure in white to the right of these things that looks like
a tall cowboy hat with a hat band around it ...
the man's head ...
and his bandanna he is wearing around his neck.


The above photo is the one that encompasses a lot of the photo and the energy going on.
This is the photo that some may be leary of ...
I will say again ...
there was nothing here that scared us
and we felt no bad energy here.

I'm going to direct your eye to one thing at a time.
You may see other things besides what I list, but like I said, I am only listing the things that I think you will be able to see easily.

Let's look at the refrigerator ...
(the man in coveralls can be seen)
In front of the 'frig is a white rectangle shape ...
now look to the left of it ...
you will see another white shape.
What we see is a figure wearing a white robe with gold trim around the neck area of the robe ...
you can see their right sleeve and even their bare arm and hand extended out of it.
Pretty amazing, huh?

Now ... if you look up above that arm and sleeve ... 
to the top of the picture and then we're going to look down a little ways ...
you see a brown curved shape with a dark square space below it (but above the white robe shoulder)... 
Here is what we see ...
a large figure wearing a hooded robe
showing no face
standing behind the figure in the white robe.

Now ...
between the brown hood and the blue orb to the right of it ...
there is something in between them.
What we see is a mans face.
We can clearly see his face, eyes, nose and open mouth.

While the face of someone with their mouth open like they are yelling or screaming
may scare some people,
we are not alarmed by this.
While we did not have the digital recorder recording at the time this picture was taken
we always say this when we do ...
"we are not always able to hear you so please do not get mad or frustrated
with us when we don't react or answer you.
We will listen to this recording later and we may hear you then as an evp.
It is very hard for us to hear you even on the recorder so we would ask you to yell or even scream what it is that you are wanting us to hear and know."

Because of that 
we don't see this face as anything bad.

Your body picks up on bad energy ...
your hair prickling on the back of your neck ...
goosebumps ...
your arm hairs standing up ...
your scalp tingling ...
feeling uneasy and watched ...
suddenly feeling fearful or uneasy ...
and we felt none of that.
Based on that we feel this was just someone trying to communicate with us at the time.

I'm going to show you one more photo.
I wasn't sure whether to include it or not because some of the
people I have shown it to can see what I try to show them 
and some of them can't.
I just decided to go ahead and include it anyway.


In the above picture
look at the dark area toward the middle of the photo.
We see a man looking toward the camera.
His face ...
you can see his eyes, nose, ears and even his dark hair.
We can even see his neckline where his shirt or jacket closes.
What we wonder about this person ...
Is this a man wearing a white lab coat?
Could he be connected to what I feel are surgical tools and the thermometer?
We don't know ...
but we can see him.

Here is the entire photo again.


And here is the photo taken right after this one.


You can see in this photo there is nothing in front of the cabinet next to the frig ...
yet the energy in the other photo completely blocks part of it out.
