FENG SHUI ANALYSIS
OF PRIVATE LOCATION

The below is a "Traditional" Feng Shui analysis of this location provided by Carol Baker of
Balance Feng Shui. Carol has been studying locations where MPR finds paranormal activity in
hopes to find a relationship between Feng Shui and paranormal activity for a potential book in
the future. Definitions are provided first followed by the actual analysis/report. Pictures have
been removed to protect the privacy of the client.

DEFINITION Of TERMS AS REFERRED TO CAROL's FENG SHUI REPORTS:

ENERGY: Traditional Feng Shui practitioners that understand the science of Feng Shui view
energy as do most traditional scientists. The difference is in the theoretical approach. But, we all
can agree that things such as strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, gravitational force, and
electromagnetic force all create energy. The electromagnetic spectrum in which generates
everything from heat, cold, electricity, air currents, etc. are all part of the same energy being
viewed by a traditional practitioner and scientists.

ENVIRONMENTAL/LANDFORM: These are related terms in that environmental features both in and
outside the house viewed through the five senses of hearing, seeing, touching, smelling and
tasting. Landform describes the bigger picture of the property, how it is situated in its
surrounding environment. Examples of things noted as environmental is the type of land, hills,
trees, bushes, cliffs, water, mountains, roads, electrical transformers, other manmade structures
relative to property. Energy is dispersed by wind and water. (Feng Shui is literally translated as
“wind” and “water”.) The environment is evaluated also on how new energy is dispersed. It
should be gentle and meandering, not harsh or fast. Additionally, the physical features of the
building internally and externally for their condition, shape and structural features.

YIN & YANG: Yin and Yang are theories of opposites. In the science of Feng Shui, yin and yang
represents balance of energy. They are dependent on each other and work together, just as day
and night, negative and positive, male and female, etc. Something overly yin (passive energy) or
overly yang (active energy) can impact occupants in the home. For example, having a lot of Yang
energy, like bright lights from a street shining into your bedroom at night is too yang, and creates
restless sleep. A bedroom should be yin. On the flip side, a house that is too yin, can make
occupants tired and inactive, maybe even depressed. In rare cases, where the energy blue print
is excessively yin, the house could become haunted. Physicists (although they may not realize
this) use yin and yang theory when they talk about positive and negative charges, strong nuclear
forces vs. weak nuclear forces, matter, and anti matter, etc.

YIN/YANG HOUSE Feng Shui: Yin House Feng Shui is for grave selection/Yang house is for homes
for the living. I do not specialize in Yin house, however, I wanted to clarify the connection of Yin
house being for the dead, and the relative connection of having a place overly Yin, and why it
would be considered bad in Yang House Feng Shui.

5-ELEMENTS: Feng Shui uses the elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood to balance
energy that is problematic (I listed them in their productive cycle: fire produces earth, earth
produces metal, metal produces water, water produces wood. Reversing the cycle is how we
reduce a specific energy. Domination of elements, require an element for balancing the cycle. For
example metal dominates wood (like metal chopping wood) and requires an element of a ‘common
link’, to balance. In this example, it would be water, since metal produces water, and water
produces wood. In science, earth element is an insulator and used for grounding. Metal is a
conductor of energy. Water evaporates and condensates. Wood (traditional practices use only
real live plants for wood) undergoes photosynthesis, it provides the oxygen we breath, and water
through a plants surface is vaporized into the atmosphere. Fire (red) is the longest of the color
wave lengths and is part of induction, radiation and combustion process to release stagnant
energy. I recently learned that in the old texts, if a piece of land knowingly had blood spilled into
its earth (slaughter house, bloody accident, or murder, etc.) that the land would need to be
burned for several days before it could be used. Sound superstitious? They were practicing
combustion, by burning the ground, to release the energy in the air and make the land viable to
live and build on. This isa practice you really couldn’t use today, but it certainly demonstrates why
they would take these measures.

ENERGY CYCLES: Energy cycles change approximately every 20 years. Therefore the starting
point of the formula is adjusted for those cycles. The reason why an accurate construction year of
the building is important is to identify which 20-year period it falls into, or else the calculations
can not be made accurately. There are nine cycles, and repeat every 180 years. A home built in a
cycle more then 2-3 cycles away from the current cycle is considered dead. A cycle that has
recently passed is considered declining in energy (poor); the current cycle we are in is
considered the most alive (very good); the cycle to come next is rising energy (good), and the
cycle after that is distant energy and can be good. The remaining cycles are considered dead. The
cycle a house is built in relative to the current cycle we are in currently. It comes into play in the
form of a lock.

HOUSE LOCK: This means the energy of the current cycle becomes trapped within the home, like
a plug stopping up a drain, and the energy can not flow unobstructed to the rest of the home.
This impacts a home negatively, and the impact lasts for the entire cycle. The cycle we are
currently in is cycle 8, and it began Feb 5, 2004 and lasts until Feb 4, 2023. As we get further into
the cycle, the impact of the lock has more affect on the home. A lock negatively impacts the home
and the occupants, but the lock can be corrected. A home can also have an annual lock which has
its minor nuances, and is very minor compared to the cycle lock which takes its toll
accumulatively over a long period of time.

HOUSE PATTERNS: While there are 216 blueprints, the pattern in which the calculations follow will
result in one of four. The best pattern is called Wang Shan Wang Shui (WSWS). The worse is
called a REVERSE. It is the opposite of a WSWS. A DS (Double Sitting) house is one in which the
pattern is strong for people, health and relationships, and weak for money/finances, and
considered 2nd best after WSWS. A DF, (double facing) is the 3rd best in which great for money,
career and finances, but weaker for people issues like health and relationships. Other then the
WSWS house, which needs no corrections, the others can be neutralized with external features.
The references in the paranormal investigation reports is to establish which patterns exists and
see if there is statistically a pattern more likely to occur in the home.

BLUE PRINT: This is the permanent energy pattern that is calculated for the home based on the
sitting/facing compass direction (electromagnetic reading). The patterns can be traced from past
to future because the calculations were designed to follow the impact of magnetic changes. The
blueprint of a home does not change, however, 20-year cycles changes, annual and monthly
energy changes can activate the blue print negatively or positively. The permanent energy of the
building’s blueprint does not change unless the entire roof of the building is removed for more
then 72 hours, allowing exposure to the atmosphere down to the foundation. Electromagnetic
waves vibrate in a plane at right angles to the direction of flow, that is why the construction date
and compass direction are important in deciphering the energy blueprint captured in the home as
the roof enclosed the property (like a lid on a jar). The home therefore would have to be exposed
down to the level of foundation in order to create a new pattern which would have a new
calculation based on the date/year roof is enclosed again. A blueprint has internal imbalances
addressed through 5-element correction when there are people occupying those spaces. (Hence,
the energy becomes relative to the occupant, and its impact becomes effects them, whether
good or bad.) In this research, we are establishing the types of influences the pattern most likely
is having on the occupants, or past occupants. There are very few patterns a pattern that has
been associated with hauntings and we will identify those if they occur.

COLORS: In traditional Feng Shui, the colors represented by each element can be correlated to
the color spectrum and the wave lengths those colors represent. Colors are substitutes for using
the real 5-elements to balance an area, but are not as effective as the real element (with the
exception of red). The placement of color is based on the type of energy in the blueprint and what
you are trying to correct or enhance. This is a different use of color then what is found in interior
design, fashion industry, as well as graphic design. The latter fields use color psychology
theories.

LOUPAN: This is a Chinese compass that breaks the directions down into precise 15º increments,
each degree in between having a tick mark, as required for calculating the pattern. Additional
compasses are used to verify the Loupan reading.

SHA: This is a term used described when something is creating negative impression, like living
next to a hospital. It can be a “noise” sha from the sounds of the ambulances. A “sight” sha
example is having clutter everywhere and becomes visually annoying to the occupant. Living
next to a dump site can be both a sight sha and a smell sha.

        Private Reading Historical Home June, 24, 2006 – Web Summary

INSTRUMENTS USED: Compass, Loupan, infrared measuring device, tape measure, digital
pictures, satellite topography maps of area (Microsoft teraserver site), NOAA geophysical site for
magnetic declination, satellite photos of area, and graphic compass overlay of satellite area.

EVALUATION PROCESS: The evaluation in this report is being done using the magnetic direction
done on site, as it matches at 150º SE facing/330º NW sitting. The older building period year is
1858, and falls into the middle of Cycle 9, and the newer building using 1900 which falls into Cycle
2. As the buildings are connected, each building requires its own calculations. The evaluation
assumes the construction periods provided are accurate. Otherwise, the evaluation of the
energy blue print and energy patterns in this report will be deemed unusable. The
environmental/landform evaluations would still be accurate.

The measurement of the internal rooms of the Historic Home in the study is based on the property
records obtained on-line that provides basic room layout and sizes. The sizes were verified on
site using a traditional measuring tape and the laser measuring device. Due to the dark
environment, and the fact no occupants live in this home, sample rooms were measured to verify
the property records. The property records were very close in terms of on-site measurements,
therefore the layout provided by these records were used in the evaluation and layout of the
blueprint. Right is the diagram of the building shape and sizes per the St. Louis County Property
Records.

                    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THIS PROPERTY

EXTERNAL FENG SHUI: The building has a very yin environment. The home’s surrounding included
a lot of trees, bushes, brush in areas close to the building property. This inhibits the flow of
energy, resulting in the building’s energy not being refreshed. Over grown brush in considered
too yin, and it becomes difficult for fresh energy to enter the home. The historical home also had
been boarded up, and does not have any occupants. Therefore the energy is very stagnant and
yin.

Another poor environmental feature includes having a graveyard close to the property which is
an additional yin feature. Besides the potential for having spiritual visitors, graveyards can also
be unhealthy to living people just because they create yin feelings of sadness and sorrow.
The railroad is similar to a rushing river in which the energy is carried too fast. In fact, one Feng
Shui Master has noted that trains carry more destructive power then the ordinary vehicle. In this
situation, energy is dispersed too rapidly, so new energy can not meander nourish the property.
Fast movement also carries away beneficial energy. Additionally, the passing trains are loud and
create a noise sha (mental disturbance), as well as a ‘feel” sha due to the vibrations and shaking
of the ground that can be felt.

Another poor Feng Shui feature is having this large tree that resides in front of the doors path. I
can not determine if that is a direct path at this angle, and perhaps someone could check confirm
with a picture of their own a direct path is not good in that it prevents energy from reaching the
building.

NOTE: There is one other author that has used environmental guidelines in Feng Shui to evaluate
paranormal properties with the rules that govern landform -environmental Feng Shui. It should be
noted one of the frequent features is large, old trees near the property. The deep roots
underground that lead toward the house are similar to underground water veins. Other
properties MPR have given me access to have also included large, old trees and specifically I
want to note that their single trunks have been relatively short with larger trunk-like branches
sprawling up and outwards with branches toward the property.

Additionally, cavern like properties of limestone rock were found on this property. Where there
are caverns there is most likely underground springs and water. Underground water can impact
the instability of the building’s structure as well as energy in the home. The potential for mold
(health problems) exists, as well as the fact water disperses energy. In this particular case, it
should be noted that this is a feature commonly found in haunted locations. Missouri has a lot of
limestone and underground cavern features. A FS practitioner in Germany reported that
underground water veins are known to carry electro-magnetic energy and are suspected to
cause cancer to occupants that live above the property. I don’t know if any know occupants of
this home had cancer but if know, it would be good to report that back to me.

Another landform feature is the relative closeness of the hill behind the property. Sitting with a
backside too close to the hill is considered bad Feng Shui. Homes at the bottom of these areas
are usually recipients of destructive energy. Below you can see the multiple levels of elevation of
the hill behind the property as well as the homes closeness to the hill. Having said that, the trees
can slow down the movement of this energy coming of a large hill, and be positive if there is
enough clearing between the hill and the property. However, you will see there is a lack of
clearing (shown below) means the property would compete with the land for energy.

The black dot is the property inside the red circle on the Topographic. The additional picture
shows you the relative closeness of the property to the hill as it is practically built into its side.

INTERNAL FENG SHUI. In Feng Shui, odd shaped houses promote the instability of the occupants.
This home has various additions that make the home take on a zig/zag shape when viewed from
the satellite. Various levels occur in the home that create a “split effect”. This home has split
levels that begin on the second floor. This tends to create stagnant energy at the lower levels of
these splits. This feature has a tendency to drain energy from the occupants, as well as be
psychologically confusing for the occupants. Usually a floor plan like the one in this historic home
would have been enough to reject the property because it has too many levels, and it is very
hard for the occupants to determine where they are exactly in the property.

The main staircase in the newer portion of the home leads to the front of the house where the
door is located, but are not pointed directly at the door (which would be bad if it were the exact
path). Staircases that are long and steep create a rush of energy to the lower levels. Open
spindle cases help energy slow down. However, stairways that are dark like in this property
accumulate decaying and harmful energy. In most cases, the destructive energy, and the height
of that foyer area, will make destructive energy move to the upper levels quicker. It should be
noted in any future investigations with internal or external stairs, note the relative location where
they land, and any notable features like doors and windows they land at as well. Also note any
activity on stairs since they tend to carry energy quicker.

The cycles in which the newer building was constructed is considered a dead energy cycle
currently. However, the older part of the building is a cycle that has rising energy. Usually when
buildings live to see their cycles come around again, it is common that renovation work begins.
This is because if they are still standing, there are usually features that remind us of an era that
we are willing to preserve.

The internal features of this property are very poor, simply due to the fact it has not been taken
care off. Therefore, it has a lot of sight, smell, touch, shas. It is very dark inside making it very yin.
And of course the fact that no one lives here, the energy is too passive and quiet. With the
windows boarded (and for very good reasons) it creates a larger yin effect as no yang energy can
enter the property.

                                          ENERGY BLUE PRINT PATTERN

There is nothing in the energy blueprint typically associated with hauntings in Feng Shui. The
original building does have a 20-year lock. Neither building is a REVERSE pattern. The date on the
new building is 1900, but it is not known if this is an exact recording or estimate. If the property
was built after 1904-1923, then it would be a REVERSE property.

SUMMARY OF PROPERTY ENVIRONMENT/LANDFORM: From a Feng Shui perspective, the
buildings are in no way good Feng Shui given the floor plan and environment. Overall, if there is
paranormal activity, it may be associated with the overly Yin features of the environment,
including a cemetery. Violent deaths (accidental or intentional) on this property would also create
a potential for hauntings, but I have no recorded evidence of this occurring. The energy
blueprints do not include combinations that are associated with hauntings. And, based on the
known construction dates obtained, neither home has a reverse property. (Although it could be
possible for the newer building is a reverse property if the date is off a few years). The
environmental features alone would deem this area poor. There is not a lot you can do for some
of the permanent features that create bad Feng Shui. Overly yin features of this property
combined with the inability for the land to nourish newer energy, makes it an extremely Yin
property. Anything extremely yin is not proper place for the living to dwell. As such, it could be
that perhaps spiritual entities are drawn to the property by these many Yin features.
