We arrived to the Gilcrease Home at exactly 9pm, unloaded and set up our equipment in various parts of the home. Starting in the kitchen area, we began taking baseline readings. They seemed quite high from the start. Operating the P.I.T.T. family's newest piece of equipment, a Panasonic camcorder, was Teri. She experienced total battery failure within just a few minutes of turning it on.  Our guest also experienced battery drainage on his camcorder pretty early in the evening. Luckily, he had a back up battery...we did not.

It was a very active night in the Gilcrease home. We made many sweeps on both floors and found the downstairs hall and piano room to read extremely active and, as usual, the South upstairs bedroom did as well. The North Bedroom did not seem as active however a great EVP was picked up in that room. (*evp-help*) The piano room downstairs produced a great glowie photo that is unexplainable and experiments of attempting to get response from the entities ruled positive (*evp-stairs-bang*). Later in the evening when everyone was downstairs, we all heard an extremely loud bang from above. During this time we had the Hi8 camera facing the upstairs south bedroom and it also picked up the anomaly, which seem to come from directly in front of it. Nothing visual is seen on the infrared video, but the bang is quite startling all it's own. (*evp-heard-bang*) (*evp-video-bang*).

Our guests for the evening left around 1am and the six P.I.T.T. members had the house to ourselves. It was still early so we roamed the house to explore and discover. We had plenty of data from the many sweeps we had done so we went to the upstairs South Bedroom. Team member, Darren, posed a few questions to the kids we believe are still there. He asked aloud to let him find something "hidden" from long ago in this house. After about 15-20 minutes of questions and listening, we walked downstairs. As Darren entered the South downstairs Bedroom, right there, on the floor, laid an earpiece. It was yellow and looked rather old. We are sure it wasn't there before. We had swept that area (more than once) and do not recall seeing it then nor did we see it when we initially put our equipment together in the room beside it...with a full view of that area!  We are certain it was not there and certainly not there on the first investigation. This was pretty baffling. Darren was the one to find it and we guess that was because he asked the question! It literally seemed to materialize out of nowhere. Darren then ran quickly upstairs to the South Bedroom where he originally asked the question. Following him, we went upstairs and thanked the Children for responding.  Upon entering the South upstairs bedroom we happened upon a wooden wheel on the floor right next to our feet.  We were just in that room before we headed downstairs! Again, we have been in this room several times this night and only 15 minutes prior to returning.  We had been there for over 5 hours at this point and that little wooden wheel was not there before the questions were asked...another items that seemed to materialize out of nowhere. Chipped and looking very old it was probably part of an old toy truck or something of the like. Darren had some happy meal toys in his car and brought them in for the children. (Note: Nothing happened in our experiments with the toys so we left them tucked away in a closet for the kids). This was some great-unexplained phenomenon and we were pretty excited about it. We are sure those items were not there before the question was asked. It was both thrilling and heart warming.

After things calmed down we decided to do a sit down in the foyer area. To begin we sat down, turned on our recorders and listened quietly. A very distinct "meow" came from the stairwell area that 2 members heard (Teri & Darren). It sounded identical to a cat and was rather loud...although to our surprise, no one else heard it!  Several of our recorders failed to pick it up...even those using sensitive and external microphones. It seemed loud enough to have been picked up by the recorders and/or video, as it was audible to the ear...but strangely no recorders did. That is unexplained.
