Investigation:Chickamauga Park
Location:Ft.Oglethorpe,Tennessee
Members Present: Clint Ferguson - Kristy Canny - Brad Dunn - Joseph Dunn - John Dunn
Back Story:
Chickamauga was the last major victory for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Their prize?...Chattanooga. 4360 soldiers died during this battle in 1863.
Paranormal Background:
Most Civil War battlefields have haunted stories to them. Mostly of dead soldiers roaming the fields, and Chickamauga is no different. However, Chickamauga has another story to it that the others do not. That would be 'Old Green Eyes'. Some stories even say Green Eyes haunted the area even before the battle. He has been described as a large, hairy creature with glowing green eyes...hence the name. Green Eyes is mostly reported in the Snodgrass Hill area and may have even contributed to the death of a young man falling off a tower. Of course, that is just a story.
Testimonials:
"I saw lights in the field and got strange feelings."_Kristy Canny
"I personally witnessed no activity while on location.However, I did receive a nice e.v.p. that we are unable to post due to coarse language. "_Clint Ferguson
"We chased a temperature difference of ten degrees through woods and then it just quit. Sounds of gunfire were later heard on a voice recorder. But in all, not as much as I was expecting "_ Joe Dunn
Final Conclusion:
Mixed feelings are associated with this investigation. Some members believe the location is haunted and some do not. Green Eyes was a no-show even after some interesting taunting by Team Member Scott. We've thought about returning and doing another investigation, but we heard that the park is now charging groups to come in at night. If that is true...then we say "boo" to you that run the park.
Investigation:Gaither Plantation
Location: Covington, Georgia
Members Present: Pete Fransen - Tara Fransen - Debbie Fransen - Tyson Reagan - Jennifer Reagan - Clint Ferguson - Kristy Canny
Back Story:
Gaither Plantation was used as a cotton plantation back in the 1800's. During the Civil War, Confederate soldiers were rumored to hide there, and some may have even died there. The owners of the plantation at the time (Cecilia & W.H. Gaither) ended up having to sell the property because they were unable to pay the $28 in taxes they owed.
Paranormal Background:
The ghost of one of the former owners of the property is said to still be there. Cecilia is said to be seen often. The smell of perfume follows her still, but mostly located in her old bedroom. Other apparitions are believed to be there as well, including deceased soldiers. Unexplained voices and footsteps are also heard. Gaither Plantation is a well known haunted location in Georgia. It has been investigated by several ghost hunting groups and was featured on an episode of a well known ghost hunting show.
Tesimonials:
" There was nothing to tell me that it's haunted "_Clint Ferguson
" The only experience I had was hearing noises and getting uneasy feelings in the house"_Kristy Canny
Final Conclusion:
No piece of evidence was found during our investigation. We would normally write off a location as haunted due to such an uneventful night, but because some members had been there before and got evidence, we can't. All we can say is that it wasn't our night.
Investigation: Hebbertsburg Cemetery
Location: Crab Orchard, Tennessee
Members Present: Pete Fransen - Clint Ferguson - Tara Fransen - Kristy Canny
Back Story:
Hebbertsburg Cemetery is located 8.5 miles SW of Crab Orchard,TN with graves dating back to 1812.
Paranormal Background:
Locals mentioned this cemetery to us as a haunted location.
Testimonials:
" I heard noises, and felt very uneasy in some areas."_Kristy Canny
" I personally witnessed nothing at this location, but it does give off a creepy feeling unlike most other cemeteries"_Clint Ferguson
*UPDATE* " I changed my mind.I went there again and it blew my mind."
" Never have I seen,heard, and felt so much stuff in one place.I got a feeling of possible multiple demonic activity."_Brandon Boston
Final Conclusion:
This is the most haunted cemetery we have visited to date.We have been back several times. There is just something about this place that is different. However, we have been a couple times in which no activity was present. You'll know as soon as you step out of the car if it's gonna be a good night or not.
Investigation: Jane Wyatt Estate
Location: Crossville, Tennessee
Members Present: Pete Fransen - Clint Ferguson - Tara Fransen - Jennifer Reagan - Tyson Reagan
Back Story:
Jane Wyatt, who was a stage star in New York had this home built after returning from New York. She had lived here before as a child before the original structure burned to the ground. It is a very large cabin home built far back into the woods and has several hidden passages. We also came across information saying it was used as a brothel many years ago as well.
Paranormal Background:
Just local folklore. Nothing Specific.
Conclusions:
" I do not believe this place to be haunted. "_Clint Ferguson
Investigation: Crafford Rd.
Location: Yorktown, Virginia
Members Present: Clint Ferguson - Kristy Canny
Back Story:
Crafford Rd. (Or Crawford Rd. Depending on whether you're on the Newport News or Yorktown side) is a long stretch of road surrounded by state park. It's about 5 miles long and goes under a graffiti filled bridge which is an overpass for a local tour road of battlefield landmarks.
Paranormal Background:
Crafford Rd. is a well known place for local residents.There are rumors of a dead woman hanging at the bridge (amongst other stories) located on the road. We could not verify a woman ever being hanged there, but we did verify a man being murdered down the road from the bridge. This information was provided by a local park ranger.
Testimonials:
" I have been down this road several times and spent a long time at the bridge. There is nothing here. Just stories."_Clint Ferguson
"I have never experienced any unexplained activity on this road."_Kristy Canny
Final Conclusion:
Crafford Rd. is just another local legend created to give people the willies. There is nothing paranormal going on here. If you believe that you have proof otherwise, we would love to see it.
