None

Notes:

The air was cold, besides the wild life very un active and quiet. We asked for signs of a spirit and received nothing. Taking notice of the fact that sound carries very far in this area, one can easily hear voices from nearby properties if they are raised. Shadows caused by trees moving with the wind in the moonlight may cause people to think they see shadows “darting back and forth” at the other end of the bridge.

Jennie Wade House Museum, Gettysburg, PA – 12/6/2008

The Jennie Wade house, originally the McClellan home, lived through the Battle of Gettysburg and witnessed the tragic death of Gettysburg civilian Jennie Wade, as she was preparing bread for the Union soldiers. This brick house was not a good spot to be in during the fighting as it was between both armies and commonly referred to as “No Man’s Land”. Northern soldiers were setting up defenses South of town while Confederate forces were occupying the North side of town. As both armies fired on each other, the Jennie Wade home was struck repeatedly and riddled with bullets. The north side received most of the damage as it faced the Confederate position and today is marked with over 150 bullet holes. Also causing damage to the Jenny Wade house was a Confederate 10-pounder “Parrot” artillery shell. The shell hit and entered the Jennie wade house going through and causing damage to the 2nd floor wall that separated the two dwellings. Fortunately, the Civil War projectile did not explode, and remained lodged in the house for many years after the war until it was removed. Evidence of this direct hit can still be seen today while taking the tour of the Jenny Wade house. The house is now a museum and contains a Gift Shop in the rear.

Personal Experiences:

Jimmy reported during setup of equipment the feeling of sunburn on his back, near the spot where “Rosa” hangs out. Chris Smith our guide informed us later that people have felt that before and is common when she (Rosa) doesn’t like people near her area. Notes: It is interesting that after Bolton’s provoking/smackdown to Rosa the whole environment changed from oppressive and overly humid, to light and airy upon are arrival back from a break right after that. Right after that speech is where we caught that light shoot across the basement.

Bristol Cemetery, Bristol, PA – 9/26/2008

No one is exactly sure how many ghosts are roaming this cemetery. Plenty of Orbs and white lights appear out of nowhere. The voice of a young girl has also been heard. People trying to record the voice and the Orbs have reported their batteries going dead.

Members Present: John C. Fowler; Tony Fantozzi

Temp (Average): 68/72° F

Humidity: 90%

Wind Speed: Windy with gusts

Hours of Video: 0 Hours, 00 Minutes, 00

Seconds Hours of Audio: 0 Hours, 46 Minutes, 29 Seconds

Findings:

As for the Orbs being seen, a good number of the Tombstones in this and the adjoining cemetery next to it reflect light from the cars that pass by. One car will shine on over 10 different grave markers as it goes by, and out of the corner of your eye it would seem as if balls of light are moving, but when you look their gone. And their are lots of lights in the ground that are white and do go off and on. As for the little girl’s voice being heard, in the one section of the cemetery, houses are across the street. It would be no stretch to assume one could hear voices from them if they were loud enough. We heard two people talking as they walked by a good distance away on the entrance side of the main road. Open areas tend to let sounds and voices carry through.

Notes:

We felt and saw nothing unusual when we were there. Only thing the pictures caught was the rain falling. E.M.F. was consistently at 0.0/0.1 milligauss.
