Henricus Park's Publick Days

I went yesterday to the first day of Henricus Park's Publick Days in Chester, Virginia. Above as some photos from the event. It was a nice day, in the 80s, making it easy to walk around.

I was there to find out if there were any ghost stories about the place for the nonfiction ghost book, Haunted Richmond II, that I am working on now. One, yes there are, and twom you'll have to wait until the book is finally our to find out what!

Anyway, it was fun, even though my husband had to remain home, being on call for his job with Chesterfield County Utilities. All the smells (yum those cooking fires made me hungry), sights, and sounds (nothing like a blast from a cannon being fired to almost make you go deaf!) You got a taste of all the peoples that been on the land ranged from Powhatans to Citie of Henricus to Civil War. The first hospital in America, Malady Hospital, was up and there was a costumed interpreter to talk about what was used to doctor the Colonists and he had a jumble of bottled medicines of that time on the table by him.

If you are in Virginia in 2010-2011, do stop by this reproduction of the second English settlement in America. Espeically now, as it is the 400th anniversary of the settlement! From the paper I picked up, they plan to have alot of cool activities coming up. Just check their website: http://www.henricus.org/

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.
