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.


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.


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.


              

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.


                                 

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.
