The Patterson homestead Dayton Ohio 2nd
investigation August 8th 2008 by Rick Cosner
We set one in the basement with a laser, one in the children's bedroom, one in
the museum room. Dan set up a super eight camera with a
laser in the den room adjacent to the dinning room where a box is said to move or a
tapping noise comes from on the shelf. While in there Dan saw a pair of doors open
on a bookcase  as I walked by them. We tried to see if it was the wooden floors that
might have caused them to open as I walked by. But after walking and bouncing on
and near the bookcase we could not recreate the doors opening. Upon further
investigation of the doors we found a small piece of wood used as a shim to prevent
the doors from opening by themselves.  Moving along we left the command center to
itself and the three of us moved to the parlor to do some evp work. I should give a
little history of the Patterson homestead here before going on further into our
investigation. Colonel Robert Patterson was a captain in the American revolutionary  
war and helped found Lexington Ky. He and his wife started their farm near Dayton
Ohio and called it "Rubicon".Their family later founded the National cash register
company. The farm  or Rubicon now belongs to the Dayton Ohio historical society,
and Wright Patterson air force base was built on the farm land of the Pattersons',
now back to the investigation. We started in the parlor where on our previous
investigation a spirit granted my request to show his/her presence by moving
something.A large oil lamp that sat on a table and has many glass tear drop glasses
hanging on the outer globe moved violently clanging the glass tear drops together.
This happened again when I asked for them to do this again, but this time  when I
asked nothing happened. As we began our evp work in the parlor, I began to ask
some predetermined questions about some historical moments that Robert Patterson
and his wife might respond to,as well as John and Frank Patterson the founders of
the National cash register company. Not feeling that we were getting anything we
moved on to the other rooms in the house. In the master bedroom Dan broke out his
mini box and we gave it a go but to no avail. We didn't capture any thing on the DVR
system nor in any pictures, but did catch a few evps of two different men while there.
At this time we believe that the Patterson does have some paranormal activity there,
but we can't say at this time that it is haunted
We arrived at the Patterson homestead promptly at eight o'clock,and was met there by
Martin an employee of the Dayton historical society. He escorted  us into the building
where we began Present were myself Nancy and Dan Mccomis our newest investigator,
We started setting up our equipment placing our Ir cameras one in the parlor room
where we had a chandelier type oil  lamp move on request, which this time around it
didn't.
