Investigation: Red Ash
Location: Caryville,Tennessee
Members Present: Clint Ferguson - Joe Dunn - Brandon Boston - Brad Dunn
Back Story:
The Red Ash area is a 10 mile stretch of road that was an old mining town. Nothing is much left standing but a few buildings, a cemetery, an old coal tower, and railroad tracks.
Paranormal Background:
In this area, numerous paranormal phenomenon is reported. These reports include strange lights, a ghost train, and a half-human half-goat with a pentagram on it's forehead. The coal tower is also said to be haunted a man that fell to his death at that site.
Testimonials:
Final Conclusion:
The ghost train isn't real. There is a real railroad in use close to the area.That is what visitors are hearing. The goat-man is very unlikely and wasn't witnessed. The strange lights were witnessed by several investigators along with a shadow-man. I personally did not witness the lights or the shadowman, but I did hear a man's voice that could not be found in the direction it came
This location is quickly becoming a favorite among paranormal investigators and future investigations will be a must. Thank you Caryville Dispatch for your cooperation.

Stamps Cemetery
Location:Putnam County,Tennessee
Members Present: Brandon Boston - Clint Ferguson
Back Story:
Stamps Cemetery is located on Buck Mountain in Putnam County, Tennessee, off Brotherton Mountain Rd.
Paranormal Background:
Locals have claimed to find animals slaughtered in a ritualistic manner at this cemetery. Due to some of the pentagram markings on the tombstones, people refer to this as 'The Witch's Cemetery'. There is also a local mythology of touching one of the pentagrams at midnight and releasing a demon.
Final Conclusion:
Stamps Cemetery is a strange one indeed. The graves are shaped in tent like form and the headstones have markings of what appears to be pentagrams. We have looked up the reasons behind this and have found different opinions on the matter. Some believe the tent like graves and pentacles were a way of keeping the 'evil' inside. The 'evil' being witches. Some believe the pentagrams are actually a military symbol. I thought this possible, until I saw a grave of a two year old with the same marking. We will continue our research.

Crazy George's Bridge
Location: Putnam County, Tennessee
Members Present: Clint Ferguson - Brandon Boston
Back Story:
This bridge is located on Brotherton Mountain Rd. and a short distance from Stamp's Cemetery. It is covered with grafitti and has been known to be a location of occultist rituals.
Paranormal Background:
Legend tells of a railroad worker named George that still haunts the bridge late at night. George was known as a bit of a drinker. One night, he wandered drunk down the railroad tracks located under the bridge and was eventually struck by a train. The result that followed was a decapitation. George is reportedly still seen around the area looking for his head.
Final Conclusion:
Upon further investigating, it turns out the man's name wasn't even George. This location is just another 'haunted' looking spot used to scare and give the local teenagers a thrill.

Drummond's Bridge
Location: Briceville, Tennessee
Members Present: Clint Ferguson - Kristy Canny
Back Story:
Paranormal Background:
One of these uprisers was a man by the name of Dick Drummond. Drummond was soon captured by the militia and lynched from this railroad bridge. Hence the name, Drummond's Bridge. Local legend believes that Dick still haunts the trussel today.
Final Conclusion:
The entire bridge gave off a higher than usual emf reading on our gaussmeter. There were storms rolling into the area which could have been the cause of it. Not likely, but possible. None of the other emf detectors picked up the same reading and during one point of the night, one of our K-II meters went off the moment it was talked about.

We were getting odd emf readings all night using the Gaussmeter
We do not suggest visiting this location at night.One wrong step and you're screwed.
Old Gray Cemetery
Location: Knoxville,Tennessee
Members Present: Clint Ferguson - Kristy Canny
Paranormal Background:
Old Gray Cemetery has long been reported as a haunted cemetery. This National Historic Site has been home to rumors of a 'Black Aggie', a shadowed figure that is said to be seen moving from grave stone to grave stone.
Final Conclusion:
During our investigation, some members reported seeing shadows but none were too confident. There were some strange e.m.f. readings here and there that couldn't be explained and Kristy reported being pulled by dowsing rods she was using. The fact is, is that homeless people stay in this graveyard and that could be a lot of the reported sightings. Brett almost kicked one in the head that was laying down. Is Old Gray Cemetery haunted...? Possible, but not enough evidence yet.
The pictures below were taken 2 seconds between each other, as you can see, there is a concentrated mist that is caught on camera. The top 3 are the originals and the botom 3 have been enhanced to see it better. We can't say these are paranormal or not...just, unknown.Click on the pictures for larger size.
