Investigation at Ferry Plantation





























































































































































The photos come from the paranormal investigation at Ferry Plantation, Saturday, August 14th, 2010.
Besides the orbs (some really big), I captured pictures of shadows. One of these shadows was between Belinda Nash and a person filming her as she told about a couple of the women spirits that haunt the house. I had Belinda and the woman with the camcorder stand in their positions again, but they did not make a shadow between them and neither did any of us in the room.
I haven't had a chance to listen to my recordings yet, so can't say if gotten anything. But in one photo, Patty Ceran is the woman holding what is called a 'ghost box' and we were asking who was out by the tennis court and the tree slaves had been hung from. Someone named Creed was who was communicating with us. Whoever he was, he followed us into the house and communicated all night, especially by Patty's box and EMF meter. He was definitely not any of the named ghosts that Belinda knew of in the house.

At the end of the night, there were four of us in the gift shop upstairs and we'd had gotten the ghost boy, Eric, then a male voice came on, saying, "Get Out!" twice. After the second get out, my chair that I sat in by the register began to shake like a mini earthquake was happening. It freaked me out and yet no on else had anything happen to them, and I knew it wasn't them, for they were still. Was it the ghost who told us to get out, that shook my chair violently? Anyway, after that we did the room across the hall, then it was 5:05 a.m. and we went downstairs to pack up and go home.
Most of the night was quieter than it was last summer when I did the house with CVPIPR. But they had things going on Friday the 13th, with a seance and all, then 70 bikers invading the house on a Hampton Roads Haunted Homes tour. I figured they were tired of all the people, hence why so quiet and why we got that "Get out!" at the end of the investigation.

Last Week on the Blue Ridge Parkway




























































































































































































































































We drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia on Tuesday, July 20th. Not only was it ten degrees cooler up in the mountains, but gorgeous. Not we traveled through mountains that towered almost as tall (not quite though) as out west where I grew up, but we saw breathtaking scenic views from edge of mountains down on valleys with woods, towns, and farm land. My husband and I so want to come back in October when autumn colors are out.
I had never seen so many butterflies (particularly, large, blue winged ones) as we did that day. They lingered on flowers, they settled on the road and sometimes covered the air. We caught sight of a buck chewing a leaf, who watched us drive by unconcerned, and then went back to his eating. As you can see above, I took pictures of two faces drawn and colored on rocks (one blue, the other pink) that sprouted up at the edge of a cliff. Who dared to not only defaced the natural beauty, but had to teeter dangerously in an area that with one slip and they would tumble to their possible deaths?
We stopped at the Humpback Rocks Visitor Center, where they had a farm museum inside and down a path that lede to a farm with a garden that had a scarecrow, a chicken coop with chickens, and other buildings used in the area from from 1890s-1950s.
We also got lost at one point and the GPS had us driving along a dirt, rocky road for a while, until we came to a bridge tunnel that reminded me creepily of the Bunnyman Bridge and Crawford Road Bridge. Was this one haunted also? Nothing showed up on my photos and I never tried to do a recording to find out if I caught any evps.
We did get to Crabtree Falls, but discovered needed three dollars cash to park, so nver got to see the next largest falls east of the Mississippi. And being late, too late to check out the Walton House Museum nearby. Luckily, we never did park and walked to the falls, for it rained, becoming a torrental downpour with wild wind. We plan to return to Nelson County to see these two.
We drove home all the way in mostly heavy downpour until got on Route 288 to Chesterfield. The rain never got there.

WEIRD WEDNESDAY


I found this drawn on a part of a rock overhanging over the edge of an outlook on Blue Ridge Parkway Tuesday, July 20th. It and a blue face had been done, right at the edge of these rocks. Who dared to deface the natural beauty of this area and really, was crazy enough to do it, as they could have fallen to their deaths?
