After the Investigation

Date Investigated: 10/20/05
Type of Investigation: Complete
Official Paranormal Report Filed: None filed
Description of Investigation: (not available for this investigation; this section was added on 01/08/07)
Case Classification: Unable to determine
Explanation of Case Classification: This is a very long stretch of road that goes through a great portion of the city of Portage. Because WIX does not know which part of this road is haunted and also due to the lights, the movement of traffic and people, plus the presence of lots of human-made electricity, it is very hard to conduct a proper paranormal investigation.
