The Decker Homestead
 
We did not have to drive very far to get to the homestead. I had been here during the day just to check the property for safety. Most of the homestead is falling apart so you do have wood pieces with nails sticking up its not exactly a safe place to walk around at.
 
Tammy and I noticed a ball game was going on so in a way it gave us some lighting to the old ranch house which helped us move around easier.
 
The homestead is surrounded by large older trees its a bit eerie just to walk through all the thick foliage to get to the homestead. Not much remains on the property but the house and then a shed.
 
Unlike the cemetery I really did not get any high EMF readings here and keep in mind power lines run all the way down the road where this homestead is located. So that just tells you how much more energetic the entities were at the Minden Cemetery as opposed to this location.
 
I spent a long time on this investigation I did not just visit it to take a few photos. I instead spent time in each part of the homestead in hopes of catching something. This house is a bit odd it has a garage, utility room, kitchen and an open upstairs. Every single area had its own door or entrance nothing was connected.
 
The bottom half of the homestead was made of stone that was fit together you could tell it was hand crafted. This was the foundation which they tried to paint over the stone even put some wallpaper over it. I can imagine that this was not a pleasant site to have in the kitchen or living room.
 
The garage had a bunch of junk piled on top of one another you could tell it was one giants rats nest. It had a little window attached to it which looked into the utility room. The utility room was also the living room and it had an old hot water tank inside.
 
Both rooms had massive giant wood doors something you might see on a bar but not a house. The stairwell to the second story was gone I climbed up on some wood to take a peak inside. The second story was just this big giant room full of bat guano and pigeon droppings. Definitely not a safe area to enter not without mask.
 
The shed had a bench inside and what appeared at one time to hold a chicken coop of some kind. There was a small crawlspace some animal was up there moving around could have been anything as it made these odd sounds which I recorded. I thought and maybe I am wrong but I could have sworn I seen a ghostly man look at me through the broken window in the shed. It happened so face it just caught a glimpse of my eye. The shed also had a trough and two concrete barriers which may have held some sort of work bench at one time.
 
Half of the homestead is collapsed to make matters worst you have the entire place caving in on itself. An old for sale sign I found on the ground. In the kitchen all the cupboards were open and there was a Xmas decoration hanging behind one of the cabinets. There was also spray paint on the ceiling and piles of stone foundation blocking entrance into the homes two front rooms.
 
Even though the house had an old brick chimney I never did find any fire place. There was an old model home sign laying on its side out front. Debris like wood and foundation was scattered all over the property. It was apparent based on the broken bottles that this home was also the place for local kids to hang out.
 
Sadly everything in the home had been ransacked or stripped the only furniture I found was old mattresses, tires and things which are typical of any abandoned house. But all that remained was an empty shell and honestly it disappoints me that this historical homestead is in ruins. At one time this home probably served as a ranch back in the day that the Carson Valley was in darkness. You could only imagine that before power ran to this place the owners lived by candle light and lived mainly off the farm land which surrounds it.
 
I did smoke me a bowl at the end of the vacation in the shed while I ran some EVP sessions. More then the place is spooky it is a bit of a hazard however I am happy to be able to have photos of the homestead because I know in the future it is going to collapse upon itself it already is crumbling as it is.
 
Before I left the site I did notice a bunch of rebar hooks hanging from the ceiling in the shed that was a bit odd not sure what use they served. They may have used them hooks to hang livestock from its hard telling this property is very old. It looked as if in the 1970's they tried to modernize it a bit based on the type of cupboards I found in the kitchen.
 
The rest you guys are just going to have to view on our site through photos and videos. Its a down right creepy homestead and a perfect investigation to do in the month of October. The crisp air and falling leaves just added to the whole Halloween effect. For the most part I thought the homestead was peaceful I did feel watched and that is a given when you deal with old properties like this you find its owners never left.
 
As the founder of PGS I try to bring our viewers a variety of locations sometimes cemeteries sometimes homes other times historic sites. I mix it up allot to keep things exciting but also because we want our viewers to enjoy these places for what they are worth because someday pioneer homesteads like this will no longer exist in the west!
 
All in all between the Minden Eastside Cemetery and the homestead we had a full eventful night of adventure. Its not to often that you can investigate a haunted cemetery then turn around go up the road and visit a homestead from the 1800's. This is why I enjoy doing what I do we get to go to the places most people never get to see. Sure I tripped over debris at the homestead its deplorable but it is a piece of American West history and ill fall for that anytime!
 
I made the investigation a bit more creepier by wearing my pumpkin head mask. Tammy said it looked like something out of a horror movie. We want our viewers minds to wander we want you to feel the eeriness of such a location at the same time to enjoy the evidence, history, photos and videos. This house may have not been as active as the cemetery but at night it gets an A+ for being creepy especially when you hear old wood boards creaking and see something looking at you through a broken window makes for a fine night of investigating!

The only downside to the investigation is their were ballgames going on off in the distance. So everytime there was a home run you would hear screaming and shouting. Not to mention the bright baseball lights were kind of an eye sore to see as we investigated the ranch. I generally like to investigate old houses with no light, cars constantly driving by and the sound of people. It makes it harder to get EVP evidence but I did the best I could and with what I had to work with.

This shed which probably held tools, animal feed and a chicken coop had these Rebar hooks hanging from the ceiling. Not sure what they were used for but its not paranormal. However it just kind of shows you the oddities we find while exploring and investigating. You could let your mind run wild however alone just seeing them hang from the ceiling. The photo to the right shows more of the hooks but it also shows you a loft. There was some odd animal could have been birds, rats or bats but something was up here moving around. I recorded the animal so you can hear the audio on our EVP's page from the investigation. Sometimes we visit places that are not haunted but they have oddities such as giant rats, hooks, weapons, pickled stool etc. Unlike many paranormal groups I show our viewers the good, bad and the ugly. We want you to see what we are seeing whether its animals, rebar hooks or the decrepit conditions a location might be. The homesteads foundation is half collapsed which means in a major windstorm this house is going to collapse upon itself. You can tell just by looking at the wood inside this shed that the wood must had been cut from local trees. The foundation to the home was made with local rocks all fitted together. This shed once had a chicken coop the feed may have been kept up in the loft. Chickens probably were killed in here and no matter what anyone will tell you dead animals to leave energy behind. Even though we did not capture anything ghostly on camera it does not mean that its early pioneer family do not haunt the home. I did capture two EVPs on our second investigation add that in with the strange hooks and a few critters making noises and you have yourself one awesome investigation!

 

This anomaly I captured above the roof of the house when I first arrived. It might not be anything or it might be something. Its not an orb and over the years we discount orbs as being dust/moisture. However it could be some sort of ghostly energy that we captured. Since we recorded EVP's on the property it is safe to say that ghostly energy could be present and appear in one odd form or another!
