CASE NO. 002714PRESCOTT
ON MARCH 14TH 2024 AT 1320HRS, I WAS CONTACTED BY ********** WHO REQUESTED ASSISTANCE WITH A POSSIBLE ANOMALY CONNECTED TO A LETTER SHE DISCOVERED INSIDE A USED NIGHTSTAND. THE CLIENT STATED SHE PURCHASED THE FURNITURE ITEM FROM A SECONDHAND STORE LOCATED IN PRESCOTT, AZ ON OR ABOUT MARCH 10TH.
CLIENT ADVISED THAT WHILE CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE NIGHTSTAND, SHE LOCATED A SEALED ENVELOPE ADDRESSED TO “MRS. ALICE PENNINGTON – ROOM 103 – STARLIGHT INN.” CLIENT SAID THE PAPER APPEARED OLD, WITH SLIGHT YELLOWING AROUND THE EDGES.
UPON OPENING THE LETTER, SHE FOUND A HANDWRITTEN NOTE IN WHAT SHE DESCRIBED AS “CHILD-LIKE WRITING.” THE NOTE STATED:
“MOM, PLEASE COME HOME. DAD SAID YOU’RE NOT COMING BACK, BUT I SEE YOU IN THE HALLWAY SOMETIMES.”
CLIENT LEFT THE LETTER ON HER KITCHEN TABLE THAT NIGHT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE ORIGINAL LETTER WAS GONE AND HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW ENVELOPE ADDRESSED TO HER OWN NAME. THE SECOND ENVELOPE CONTAINED A FINE GRAY ASH AND NO OTHER MATERIAL.
CLIENT RESEARCHED THE STARLIGHT INN AND DISCOVERED IT WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE IN 1991. SHE BELIEVES THE LETTER MAY BE CONNECTED TO THAT INCIDENT.
CASE IS BEING CLASSIFIED AS AN ANOMALOUS OBJECT EVENT. A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SECOND ENVELOPE WAS TAKEN AND PLACED IN THE 918 FILES.
CASE NO. 006443QUEENCREEK
ON FEBRUARY 1ST 2024 AT 2235HRS, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL MESSAGE FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED MALE WHO STATED HE HAD OBSERVED “LIGHTS MOVING ABOVE THE WASH” BEHIND HIS RESIDENCE LOCATED IN QUEEN CREEK, AZ. THE CALLER DID NOT PROVIDE A NAME OR RETURN NUMBER. THE MESSAGE INCLUDED A NOTE THAT “OTHER NEIGHBORS HAVE SEEN IT TOO” AND THAT “A FIGURE IS STANDING IN THE WASH.”
THE FOLLOWING DAY, I CONDUCTED AN INFORMAL REVIEW OF ONLINE COMMUNITY FORUMS CONNECTED TO THE AREA. I IDENTIFIED THREE UNRELATED INDIVIDUALS WHO POSTED PHOTOS OF STRANGE LIGHTS SEEN ABOVE THE DRY WASH BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 0200HRS AND 0300HRS.
I WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH CONTACT WITH **********, A HOMEOWNER IN THE AREA, WHO PROVIDED RING DOORBELL FOOTAGE FROM JANUARY 24TH 2024. THE FOOTAGE, TAKEN AT APPROXIMATELY 0241HRS, SHOWED A BRIEF POWER FLUCTUATION FOLLOWED BY A TALL, DARK FIGURE STANDING MOTIONLESS IN THE CENTER OF THE WASH APPROXIMATELY 80 FEET FROM THE CAMERA.
ON JANUARY 17TH 2024, A MISSING PERSON REPORT WAS FILED BY **********, WHO STATED HER HUSBAND HAD BEEN WALKING THEIR DOG ALONG THE WASH AND “WALKED TOWARD THE LIGHT.” HE DID NOT RETURN. POLICE DETERMINED THERE WAS NO FOUL PLAY. HOWEVER, THE HUSBAND’S BOOTS WERE FOUND LATER THAT MORNING IN THE CENTER OF THE DRY WASH. THE BOOTS WERE STILL WARM TO THE TOUCH.
DUE TO LACK OF IDENTIFIABLE TECHNOLOGICAL SOURCE FOR THE LIGHTS, THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS AN UNEXPLAINED VISUAL PHENOMENON AND PLACED INTO THE 918 FILES.

CASE NO. 009823GLENDALE
ON JULY 17TH 2022 AT 1745HRS, I WAS CONTACTED BY ********** AND **********, A MARRIED COUPLE RESIDING IN GLENDALE, AZ. THEY REPORTED AN ONGOING ISSUE INVOLVING THEIR INFANT DAUGHTER’S BABY MONITOR, WHICH BEGAN TRANSMITTING UNEXPLAINED AUDIO OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS.
THE MONITOR IS A NON-WIFI, ANALOG DEVICE WITH NO KNOWN INTERNET CONNECTIVITY. CLIENTS STATED THAT WHILE THE VIDEO FEED SHOWED STATIC, THEY WERE ABLE TO HEAR A FEMALE VOICE SINGING TO THEIR DAUGHTER OR WHISPERING PHRASES THAT NEITHER OF THEM RECOGNIZED.
CLIENT RECORDED SEVERAL INSTANCES INCLUDING:
“SHE DOESN’T LIKE THE CRIB.”
“SHE SLEEPS BETTER UNDERGROUND.”
ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS, THE CHILD WAS REPORTED LAUGHING AND LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA DURING PERIODS OF TRANSMISSION.
THE CLIENTS UNPLUGGED AND DESTROYED THE MONITOR. WITHIN 48 HOURS OF PURCHASING A NEW MONITOR (SAME BRAND), THE VOICE TRANSMISSIONS RETURNED.
AN AUDIO SAMPLE WAS PROVIDED AND ARCHIVED. PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF THE FILE REVEALED FREQUENCY PATTERNS BELOW 50HZ, OUTSIDE THE TYPICAL RANGE FOR VOICE BROADCAST ON THE DEVICE.
