History & local legend
A house on Hanover Street in Carlisle became the subject of a PARAseek investigation after residents reported disturbances beginning when they moved in during late 2000. Among their complaints were repeated changes to a doll collection and a large furnished dollhouse.
Investigator Kelly Weaver described a girl’s presence that she called Em. While speaking with the woman who lived in the house, Weaver learned that dolls and miniature furniture had been moved without explanation.
During the visit, a noise came from the adjoining room. The group went to inspect it and found miniature figures and furniture knocked over inside the dollhouse. The Weavers included that sequence—conversation, noise and discovery—in their signed 2002 case report.
