Pre-investigation

Early Fall

Peter called; he had a lead on a property that appeared to be haunted. The chain of information began with an image captured by the Google Street View car that drives the endless grid of streets to map their service of Street View addresses. It seemed that while mapping a street about thirty-five miles west of Toronto, Ontario, in a farming community on the border of Georgetown, they had photographed two ghostly specters on a property. This information found its way to the building’s owners, who confirmed that the building was not in use and was unoccupied at the time. The images showed a man through the living room window and an older female in early twentieth-century period clothing standing at the front door.

Peter had secured access to the property and building and had arranged for our first visit. He also informed me that the owners had removed a two-storey wooden shed from the property, and that they had discovered an old pistol hidden in a wall that would be at the property for us to examine.

The cottage on the property was on the brink of being designated as an historical building. When that happened, there would be renewed interest in it from the public. We had to act fast to conclude our investigation into the paranormal activities there, while it was still “quiet.”
