A Scary Ghost Story . . . in MARYVALE!

http://www.adghosthunters.com/investigations.html

Private Phoenix Residence
In March 2005 the team was contacted by a middle aged couple with two children concerning some strange occurrences at their home in the old Maryvale section of Phoenix. The home which was built in 1954 is a single story structure in an older neighborhood in north Phoenix. The couple complained of cabinets slamming, chairs moving and a white mist would appear in there living room.

The home owners believed that there may have been a murder in the house because when they moved in a few years before there had been a large dark stain on the floor that they could never quite get out.

They also believe the home is full of negative energy that was making one of the family members sick. A check with neighbors determined that a murder had never been committed in the home. However, a reading by Debbie revealed that the negative energy was most likely attached to the land and not the house. The house was smudged and cleansed twice. The couple did notice a more calm feeling in the house.

The image of a vortex was photographed in one of the bedrooms.
