The most haunted place in America?
The Myrtles plantation. The evidence reviewed, recapped, and the additional.
Perhaps Hitchhiker ghost's best photographic evidence of the paranormal.
The Myrtles plantation in Louisiana is easily on the top five most haunted places in America. It has the ghosts of a murderous nanny, tortured slaves, and the Native Americans who are still buried underneath the plantation.
The legend of the Boo Hag (shadow person or witch we captured on the porch)
According to the legend, Boo Hags are similar to vampires. Unlike vampires, they gain sustenance from a person's breath, as opposed to their blood, by riding their victims.
They have no skin, and thus are red. In order to be less conspicuous, they will steal a victim's skin and use it for as long as it holds out, wearing it as one might wear clothing. They will remove and hide this skin before going riding.
When a hag determines a victim is suitable for riding, the hag will generally gain access to the home through a small crack, crevice, or hole. The hag will then position themselves over the sleeping victim, sucking their breath. This act renders the victim helpless, and induces a deep dream-filled sleep. The hag tends to leave the victim alive, so as to use them again for their energy. However, if the victim struggles, the hag may take their skin, leaving the victim to suffer. After taking the victim's energy, the hag flies off, as they must be in their skin by dawn or be forever trapped without skin. When the victim awakes, they may feel short of breath, but generally the victim only feels tired.
Flat Rock Archives & Slave Cemetery Tour
Our family recently took a tour of the Flat Rock Archives and slave cemetery in DeKalb County, Georgia. The tour was led by Johnny Waits who started the initiative to create the Flat Rock Archives several years ago. For more information visit:
Slave House at The Woodland Plantation
I had the honor and privilege of being the first to stay in the newly renovated Slave House at The Woodland Plantation in Pointe a la Hache, Louisiana on 5/14/14. These EVP were all captured within a minute and thirty seconds and is an ambient EVP, I just hit the record button on my RT-EVP recorder. The sensitive mic picked up these whispers that are creepy and best heard with headphones.
NS Charlotte District 7/11/14: B[NS]F in South Carolina
After chasing ex-Southern high hood 3291 west to Statesville, NC on the point of train P61, Casey and I got on I-77 South to Charlotte to intercept 213, which was running with the same trio of BNSF GEVOs I saw on it a week earlier. A northbound M54 blocked off the shot we had lined up at Summit Avenue which would have highlighted the downtown skyline, so we decided to chase the train since it was going to the same place we were anyway.
It was a struggle beating the high priority intermodal down I-85, but we were far enough ahead at the NC/SC state line that we decided to head for Blacksburg. Less than a minute after our arrival, 213 flew by the 424 milepost and small yard in downtown with BNSF ES44C4 8044, BNSF ES44C4 8068, and BNSF ES44AC 5939 out front.
We made haste down I-85 once again to downtown Spartanburg, where we captured 213 passing the Southern Railway station at Magnolia Street, just north of Hayne Yard. Knowing 119 was switching Hayne with a BNSF leader, we proceeded to the south end of the yard in time to see the manifest pull high of the mainline switch, shove back to their train, and pull. BNSF C44-9W 4571 and NS D9-44CWs 9419 and 9270 were in the lead.
We again made a quick jaunt down I-85 to Greer, where our final shot of the day came with 119 passing the relatively new South Carolina Inland Port. After that, we found some dinner, again got on I-85, and made a much more appropriately-paced trip home.
Willowbrook Cemetery Preservation
The Aiken Standard talks to Tonya Guy of the Edgefield Cemetery Association about the historic Willowbrook Cemetery and efforts to preserve and maintain it as it approaches its bicentennial.
OLD INVESTIGATION - Creepy Plantation House - Is it haunted?
Mona was compelled to suddenly take a right off the highway. She said that she just sensed it. So, we did. A couple of blocks later, we ran into this old, historic, plantation home that looked like it was being stripped and possibly repaired.
We didn't have access to the place, but we investigated around the property, which was way out in the boonies. (We're IN the boonies. lol) We actually caught some stuff on the recorder.
Gabriel’s Rebellion: The Meadow Plantation, The Two Slaves Who Snitched on Gabriel - Haki Shakur
Origin of Snitching/Informants/ Rats in the Black Community stems from The Slave Plantation & Slavery System ( Plantation Mentality ) Stop Snitching!!!
#HakiKweliShakur #GabrielProsser #StopSnitching
Meadow Farm is a plantation associated with the slave insurrection planned for August 30, 1800 by an enslaved blacksmith named Gabriel. On that day, Tom and Pharaoh, two enslaved men on the Meadow Farm, entered the office of their master, Mosby Sheppard, and told him of Gabriel’s planned revolt. Gabriel believed he was ordained to lead his people out of bondage. His plan was to create a slave army to take Richmond, kill all whites, except the French, Quakers, and Methodists, and be crowned king of Virginia. Sheppard warned Governor James Monroe, who ordered guards around Richmond. Many of the blacks who knew of Gabriel’s plan and aided him were captured and executed less than two weeks later. Gabriel was captured in Norfolk and executed on October 7, 1800. Tom and Pharaoh were purchased by the state of Virginia and given their freedom. After the failed plot, blacks, both free and enslaved, came under increased scrutiny and were subjected to even harsher laws designed to keep them under strict control. The brutal reaction to Gabriel’s revolt prompted northerners to sympathize with the plight of the enslaved, giving momentum to the Abolitionist!
