Investigations Keeping information publicly visible is very important to H.S.P.R. All listed investigations are published with owners consent. Here you can read about some of our significant cases below. Private Home- Tampa, Florida 2002 Status: On going This Bungalow style home in the heart of Tampa was built in 1920. The homeowners began having strange occurrences 6 months after buying the house, While none of the incidents were violent in nature the owners wanted answers as to what was happening. The Owners complained of animals behaving oddly, shadow figure being seen on several different occurrences, banging or knocking sounds and early 1900's change (money) being found in strange locations throughout the home. Talking with neighbors and searching local newspapers revealed that the former owner had passed away in the home. It is believed that "Miles" was still with them. Private Home- Dunedin, Florida 2000 Status- closed Rental home built in 1983. Owners complained about serious sleep disturbances, items going missing, objects being thrown and knocking noises. Upon investigation of the home, a strange painting was found in attic. When the landlord was consulted he believed it was the property of the previous owner. The painting was of a house from a 45 degree angle aerial view. Upon contacting a Occult specialist we discovered that the painting was in fact "ascending the spirit" (a form of spirit manipulation) which now was in the home. We were advised to destroy the painting to release the spirit. Upon doing so all activity in the house ceased. While knocking noises could be heard audibly none were picked up on EVP. Please be sure to see the photos on the findings page. The Victorian Inn -Stratford Ontario, Canada 2000- Closed (Due to distance) This case was impromptu. While vacationing in Stratford at the Victorian Inn for the Shakespeare Festival our lead investigators Rae and Lisa began experiencing strange activity. Several "shadow" type figures were seen at different times during the day or night. Lisa had experienced severe headaches while in certain parts of the hotel, the "game room" caused cameras and other equipment to go dead, psychical / physical contact were experienced and several staff members told us about occurrences they experienced. Upon spending their vacation time researching the hotel and it's former owner, a trip to the local cemetery revealed another case of "ascending a spirit". The back of the former owners headstone has a carved representation of the Victorian Inn on it. It is believed that the former owners is still watching over his beloved Inn. Determination- Given the limited amount of time, the experiences of team members and long time staff members of the hotel leads H.S.P.R. to believe that this is a active source of paranormal activity. ** UPDATE** The Victoria Inn is now under new ownership and is called "The River Garden Inn" Located at 10 Romeo St N Stratford ON Canada N5A 5M7. If you are interested in Investigating this location please contact Hotel Management. * Please be sure to see the headstone in our picture section * Private Home- Palm Harbor, Florida 2006 Status- open Owners and guests have reported seeing a man , during either the day or night walking in the main hallway and the living area, and the feeling of being watched. ** we are currently re-investigating this home.

Private Home- Tampa, Florida 2008 Status- open This case has challenged our team but he have prevailed.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Crown Colony House 2008-2009 Status- pending This was the first time a paranormal research group was permitted to investigate employees claims of activity at the well known Theme park.
