Testimonials

On April 29, 2006 four members of PRISM (Paranormal Research & Investigative Studies Midwest) and three guest investigaters spent the night in the Villisca Axe Murder house.  The following is an account of some of their experiences.
Several times some of the team members felt their hair being tugged and one of us felt a tugging on the chain necklace he was wearing.
The team was all gathered in the parlor room downstairs and while there they heard noises from the upstairs;thuds and bumps like someone was jumping off of the bed or children rough-housing.
At about 2:45 AM, the closet door in the children's room upstairs opened and closed by itself.  There was a candy necklace hanging on the closet door handle and it would move and rattle against the door and then the door would either open or close.  This happened several times and was witnessed by the team and also was caught on film.
Also in the bedroom, the women of the team witnessed what appeared to be tiny pale fingers from the inside of the closet door.  Waving from underneath the door and touching the inside of the door.  Also witnessed was an intermittent  faint glow coming from the inside of the closet.
Throughout the night, the team recorded audio and took many digital pictures.  Some EVPs and spirit orbs and  spirit anomalies were captured.  Some of these can be viewed on www.doyouseedeadpeople.org.
This is an experience that none of us will soon forget and all look forward to going to the house again.

A Heavy Feeling

It was November 19th, 2004. I stayed the night at the house all by myself and had several paranormal experiences. In the house, there was a heavy feeling; as if the air pressure increased to a level where it was difficult to normally breathe. I definitely felt cold spots, mainly in the kitchen and in the parlor room. I didn’t ever go upstairs that night. I tried to climb the stairs, but just as I entered the stairway, I got sick to my stomach, with a nauseated feeling. I also felt like I was being watched with every step I took. The only time I was able to go upstairs was the next morning when there was light, and then I checked the attic out, too… I did manage to capture one EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recording... It was a deep male’s voice saying, “What do you want with us?”

Children Still in the Villisca Axe Murder House  by Anney Horn

My name is Anney Horn and I am a sensitive and Founder/Member of Norfolk's P.R.I.S.M. chapter. My first time in Villisca was to attend the barn raising day. Darwin and Martha Linn were reconstructing the barn which had originally been on the premises, and were turning that into a visitor's center. Several P.R.I.S.M. members and I had come to the barn-raising event, and became friends with a lot of really neat folks who also were there.

That evening, after we all ate, a bunch of us went over to the house for our lamp lit tour. There were probably 20 of us in the small parlor. One of the gals there was certified in hypnotherapy and another one was also a sensitive. So, they put the sensitive into a trance. As the sensitive was going under, the train went by. ( Was it the trigger for the residual haunting?) The sensitive was channeling Katherine Moore. She described her feelings and the sounds from the evening of the murders, and she started crying and she said " Paul, get in here, he's going to hurt us! Shh, Paul!" as tears were streaming down her face. This was real; her facial expressions changed, she was a little girl. We pulled her out at the time when the killers were looking at her, so she wouldn't have to relive that. As I said before, there were many people in the parlour and it wasn’t cool at all that day. But, after this happened, the room became ice cold and the girl that was with us felt a little child sit on her lap.

One year later , we ( My daughter Jada, David and Josie Rodriguez, and I) were back in Villisca with well known paranormal writer,Troy Taylor.  That night, we got "Paul" to open and close the Moore children's room closet door on command several times.

Later, David was viewing the evidence, and came across some evps.  (These were unexplainable since we had no children with us in the house.) One of them says, " Paul, Get in here, he's going to hurt us!" This is the exact same thing the sensitive said when she (a year earlier) was in her trance experiencing the night of the murders.

To me, that is proof those kids are still there and able to communicate with us.
