w w w . c a s t l e o f s p i r i t s . c o m A REPORT ON THE HAUNTING AT CONIFER GROVE, NEW ZEALAND "My name is Matene and I am from New Zealand. I belong to a magical order and am guite well established. I have recently been studying a haunting and have submitted my report (to date 14th Oct, 2005)". Investigation/Report Submitted by: Matene, New Zealand Contact: mbookernz@gmail.com Location: Conifer Grove, Takanini, South Auckland Brief: Michelle made contact with me regarding disturbing events at her house in South Auckland. Contact was initially established 6 weeks ago for a Tarot reading. Michelle told me about odd occurrences at her house. Michelle contacted me again on Thurs. 7th October 2005 and asked if I could come to her house to see if I could ‘sense’ anything. If I couldn’t, did I know someone who could? I contacted the order; Frater D.E.D.I gave the necessary permission. Michelle has never had any previous experiences with this sort of phenomena, although she and her family were among the many witnesses of a famous UFO sighting in Wellington in the late 1970’s. Reported Phenomena: Intense cold Loud banging noises on and within the walls Trans-location of objects incl. flowers, pair of scissors, a hammer Light fixtures turning on and off by themselves Water taps turning on and off by themselves The impression of someone in the room, watching Doors closing and opening by themselves An overwhelming atmosphere of depression and gloom. Michelle, at one point, was about to commit suicide. History The house is 20 yrs old. It was built by a Doctor and his wife (also a Doctor). They were immigrants from main land China. Due to illness (of a child) they returned to China. The house is now managed by L.J Hooker Real Estate. Details of residents after this are not known, except for one woman who lived there with her husband and two children just prior to Michelle taking up residence (in June 2005). Michelle contacted this woman and she said that she and her children had experienced the same thing. It seems that her husband did not. Their marriage ended due to the husband thinking that the wife had gone crazy and was influencing the children. (2nd hand) The woman said that she was sure there was someone in her bedroom, as did the children. Weather conditions Date: Wed, 12th October, 2005 Time: 17:35 Weather conditions: Fine and clear locally, light breeze, storm clouds in the west Sunrise: 6:40 NZDST Sunset: 19:33 NZDST Moonrise: 13:00 NZDST Moonset: 04:12 NZDST Investigation 17:35 – Arrived at the house with Michelle. Took photographs of the outside of the house and all of the inside. Shot video footage of the inside as well. One area was of particular interest. It is a cold spot. Cold spot, three feet from doorway This area, I believe, is the heart of the house. The only other area that I found of interest was the spare, front bedroom. 18:00 – Tarot reading. (results not given) 19:45 – Adoration of the setting Sun. LBRP LBRH GRP Invoke Isis Invoke Osiris 1.) Asked if the presence in the house would come forward. Nothing immediately. 2) Raised energy for manifestation. Michelle was in the circle with me, we were both overwhelmed by extreme cold. The experience can be likened to someone wrapping a frozen towel around you. There was no feeling of malevolence, just curiosity. The energy was ‘exploring’ us. There was a very cold draught that seemed to condense and caress my right shoulder, down my right bicep, up over my right ear and across the top of my head. Michelle felt the presence down her right side in a similar manner. 3.) We raised more energy and transmuted it with Tiphareth. The icy cold changed to a glowing warmth, like sitting in front of a fire. 4.) Formulated the energy as Tiphareth. Michelle will maintain it as a watcher. LBRP LBRH Returned home to Waitakere at 22:00 and looked at the photos and the video. Only one photo shows anything of interest. Follow up 1. Thurs. 13th October, 2005. Contacted Michelle, (8:35) she said that she had a good nights rest with no disturbance. 2. Fri. 14th October. Contacted Michelle (09:00). All is well, apart from a few noises during the night. Probably due to the house settling. She said that all the email, relevant to the investigation, has disappeared from her computer. It was there last night, when she showed the previous tenant, but this morning has vanished. Notes Contact with Michelle Fraser will be maintained. Relevant results will be posted. Due to the personal nature of the Tarot readings, they will not be posted. The street address of the property will not be posted. A map of the house and property will be posted. There are no (known) waterways on the property, nor beneath it. There are no (known) volcanic vents on or near the property. There are no high tension power lines on or near the property. Neighbors 60 ft each side Air NZ flight path is not above the property. The property is in a middle to upper-class suburb that is a sub division of Takanini, South Auckland. History of the property prior to the house being built is at present un-known. The house is known to local children as the ‘Halloween house’ (2nd hand) click for full (larger) image Note: I noticed nothing when I took the photo (digital) and was standing aprox. 50 ft from the window. When I first saw a close up of the window I thought that I had caught my reflection in the glass. But that doesn’t add up. I was too far away to create a reflection that size. The image is in the wrong attitude. I was holding a camera up to my eye, the image is not. I don’t have any hair; the image seems to have hair. No one was in the house at the time. Interior of the room where the image was standing. Notes on the equipment used: Camera – This was the built in Camera of Sony Clie’s PEG TJ-37 Palm Pilot. 640 x 480 res. 60hz. I do not own anything better. I am happy with the results but will invest in an infra-red device. Video Camera – This was the built in Camera of imate SP3 Smart Phone, 20fps, mjpeg format. There was nothing of interest in the footage. It was taken as a reference only and will not be posted. Update: Thursday, October 27, 2005 I have been in contact with Michelle. She said that the noises have commenced again. 11:12:32 AM I contacted Puukenga, School of Maori development to see if anyone there knew which Iwi owned the land. I was fortunate enough to be able to speak to Whaea Linda, who, like us, has dealings with this sort of thing. She immediately divined that it was the whenua that was at ill ease. When she tried to elaborate we were interrupted by loud interference on the phone line. We could not hear each other very well. Whaea said that this sort of thing is best discussed in person and not on a phone. We will meet for lunch tomorrow to discuss events in person. * Iwi = Local tribe or family. * Whaea = Honorary title for an adult woman. (Lady, Madame, Auntie etc) * Whenua = The land, but not on a mundane level. It implies Malkuth and a direct link to Kether.
