Nicki represented California Paranormal Research
during an investigation of the infamous Villisca Axe Murder
Farmhouse, located in Villisca, Iowa.On June 10th, 1912, eight people were
brutally murdered in a small farmhouse in the town of
Villisca, Iowa. An entire family of six, and two
children who were spending the night, all decapitated with an axe, all in their beds as if sleeping. Only
one of the children had wounds consistent with a futile
attempt to fend off an attack before being killed herself.
No witnesses, a few suspects, even a trial, but to this
day the case is unsolved.
The house is in the same condition it was at the time of
the murders. A time capsule from the past. It's
not hard to imagine a place like this having a memory, or
more... There are many claims of the place being haunted.
It's been the subject of many books and TV shows on the
subject of reported haunted locations.
Below are some samples of the evidence gathered from the
investigation conducted that evening.
EVPs:
These are clips
from unfiltered, unaltered audio files and slight filtered copies used to
clarify what is being said. However the filtered/altered files are not
considered "evidence" in themselves, they are for analysis only, and presented
here for that purpose. EVPs tend to be rather soft voices and oddly
modulated, so it helps to use good quality headphones, a
higher volume and play the file
several times.

Conclusion:
From the recorded EVPs, the fact that many
appear to be interactive and aware of our
presence, and they consist of both a male and
female voice, we conclude the Villisca Axe
Murder Farmhouse to be Haunted by two, if
not more, Intelligent Spirits (i.e. Ghosts).
A rather chilling aspect of the second EVP
listed above is the use of the girl's name
"Lena", who would have been one of the victims,
Lena Gertrude Stillinger. Lena was
12 years old when she was murdered and from the
position of her body, it was concluded that she
was the only victim that had attempted to fight
off her attacker. It has also been suggested
that Lena was the victim of some type of sexual
molestation by her killer.Links and a short direction to the
Groveland Hotel should go here.....
