Chapter 15
It was a dark and rainy Thursday at the Stauf house, like it usually was. Ten researchers entered the house with large, delicate, and sophisticated equipment. They had planned to do some research there for 4 days and get the results on the night of the last. The first day, which was that day, they would collect samples of things around and inside the house, such as air, water, dirt, and they would take samples from some of the house's objects to see if even they had a paranormal effect on the house. They did their research that day. Nothing strange was found about anything inside or near the house. The next day, they did two things. They did the same thing as last time, and they did live research with computers when they were present and both times everything was normal. The last two days, they sent in large machinery into the house and did some research about the same way as last time, except the operation was more sophisticated, and the hunters were not present.
On Sunday night, when the researchers came back to the Stauf house, they had realized that all their equipment had been destroyed. The men repaired their equipment, and when they played what the machinery recorded on videotape, they were shocked!
On every piece of machinery, they saw a light, but it had outlines within it. It looked like Stauf. He approached every piece of equipment and destroyed it. According to cameras that recorded only what humans could see, the Stauf ghost was not visible, but they did suddenly see machinery being smashed and falling apart, and suddenly, the cameras would no longer display the room or area it recorded.
One of the men turned off the machine that played what all the machines recorded. The researchers were watching the video in the space between the stained-glass door and the stairs. The man said, "According to the machinery that we used in the operation, there are no paranormal things in the house. We are now dealing with…ghosts. We need to call some priests and have them get rid of the ghost named Stauf."
The men walked around the house, took away the machinery, and went to the stained-glass door. Just as they were about to open it, Stauf's portrait sprung from underneath. It landed on the ground and wobbled towards the researchers in a hurry. The researchers opened the door, ran out, and slammed it. The portrait hit the door and bounced backwards in the air and went back through the rug.
