EVP Audio

*Please take note that the Voice Recorder died due to a lack of charging on my part, this is nothing paranormal.

This first audio contains all the histories we discussed during your investigation along with any EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) that may have slipped through.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

Audio 1

  • 0:14 “cherry lime”
  • 4:58 “anchor up”
  • 10:26 “overlap”
  • 20:10 “the kids, the kids”
  • 25:28 “listen for Ricky’s”

Audio 2

  • 5:19 “family” Common to hear this term along with “home/house” while at the PInckney Mansion site.
  • 5:28 “where were we going”
  • 15:22 “up and down” Possibly a stretch, but we did have to go up a few extra streets to get back down to Philadelphia Alley due to flooding on Market Street.
  • 20:19 “show up”
  • 30:36 “because of her” Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd came to Charleston to prove he wasn’t after his fiancee’s new inheritance.
  • 30:46 “people see us” We would later discuss the photo apparition of Sue Howard Hardy. Safe link that does NOT contain the photo.
  • 35:14 “truth”
  • 35:33 “February 13th” Noting that the spirit boxes are slowed down, often unnecessary terms are picked up; near the Powder Magazine, finished in 1713.
  • 41:00 “doc Evans” We just discussed Dr. Ladd in Philadelphia Alley.
  • 45:24 “co-worker”
  • 50:09 “really good…company”
  • 55:22 “lose you”
  • 1:05:38 “twenty-one strikes” More numbers, Mary Read (with “read” on the digital word list below), died in April of 1721. 
  • 1:10:21 “hot blooded” (song lyric)
  • 1:25:34 “and then we asked”
  • 1:26:05 “what’s the worst that could happen”
  • 1:30:12 “exploded”
  • 1:35:48 “give me” (song lyric)
  • 1:40:34 “blue line” Only relevant due to the blue hazes in the cemetery image created from the SEER app below. 

Structured Light Sensor Video

No anomalies detected in the spot check of the SLS video. This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: The word “miss” was heard almost I immediately gave an example to provide first instinct on the spirit box, using the words “miss” and “kiss” as the example. Several moments later, the song “This Kiss” by Shania Twain was playing at a nearby restaurant bar. 

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF findings in milligauss: 6.9mG, 13.1mG, 17.1mG, 81.4mG. The average for this location is 18-22mG.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “always something there to remind me”, “God”. 

Philadelphia Alley: On the way there the question “Can you hear me” was heard on the spirit box.

Powder Magazine: No EMF discovered at this location. 

Terms heard on the spirit box (take note that most of these are religious terms and a few religious terms are common while near St. Philip’s Church) “church”, “halo”, “believe”, “black” (commonly heard at this location since Blackbeard has a small history in Charleston), “your best shot” (we recently left Dueler’s Alley), “encouragement”, “God’s place”, “redemption”, “can you tell me what happened”, “daughter” (gender unknown, I was unsure if this related to Sue Howard Hardy across the street at St. Philip’s), “twenty one” (same term found during the SBox spot check), “down”, “forty forty three”

Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy. 

An EMF reading of 3.0mG was discovered while at this location. 

Terms heard on the spirit box: “capital city” (Timrod was offered to go to Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, to the cottage of Paul Hamilton Hayne to get back to writing after the death of his son, Willie), “two days” (unknown how long Timrod spent at Hayne’s cottage before his death), “counselor”, “stony creek”, “a thousand bucks”

Marker 4:55 Pinckney Mansion site. Definitely someone following Ann around the lot.


Marker 9:46 Pinckney Mansion site. The other figures before this one can be summed up to the points of the windows of 5 Church Restaurant. However, this anomaly is close to the same shape in a much different location.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: The word “possessed” was heard on a spirit box.

Pinckney Mansion Site:EMF readings in milligauss: 4.5mG, 5.2mG, 8.2mG, 9.2mG, 10.2mG, 18.1mG, 33mG, 113mG. 

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “fifty-four”, “grave”, “confirm”, “eight three one”, “eight four one”, “miracle”, “horse” (still near The Big Red Barn)

Philadelphia Alley: No EMF recorded.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “first Corinthians”, “Georgia”, “ten days” (Dr. Ladd died ten days after his duel with Ralph Isaacs), “seven” (normally heard in doubles [7/7], this is Dr. Ladd’s birthday, July 7)

Powder Magazine: No EMF recorded.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “wasn’t supposed to happen”, “Bill” (Anne Bonny’s father was William Cormac), “patriot”, “black” (no other clues to define, but there is Blackbeard history in Charleston where he blockaded the city looking for medicines)

Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy. ESTES Method:

A slightly successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. 

Terms that stood out that lead to the thought that Dr. Ladd may also have been with us. His house at 59 Church Street is only 0.3 miles away from our location. (whistling), “operation”, “pacing back and forth” (a duel consists of opponents taking ten paces away from each other), “shot”. 

The word “book” was said at the beginning of the session that led me to believe Henry Timrod would communicate. 

Here are the six images that were created by the SEER app through the VR headset:

I didn’t bring this story up due to the nature of the tale of Sue dying six days after a stillborn child. The photo is cursed to females. And “light” referring to St. Philip’s installing a light directly from the graveyard to the gate so others cannot reproduce the cursed photograph.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: The numbers “200,000” and “thirteen” were heard on a spirit box.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings in milligauss: 14mG, 24.9mG, 57.8mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “four to five” (when asking about Eliza’s children, she had four), “burn it down” (The Pinckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “bears/forest” (heard several times), “Thomas” (Thomas PInckney), “stomach”, “ghosts”, “Hamilton”

Philadelphia Alley: No EMF detected.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “we are here”, “strong”, “ladies” (we were about to discuss Anne Bonny and Mary Read next).

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “were these the answers you sought”, “ninety-seven, forty-four”, “inside”, “my child”, “shipwreck” (we were discussing pirates), “Mariah”, “don’t tell anyone” (direct answer to a question, see EVP Audio), “stopped breathing”, “don’t go to sleep”, “Doctor Miller” (possible bleed over from Philadelphia Alley where we discussed Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd), “not true, only nine” (after I told you about the alleged 14 wives of Blackbeard)

Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy. ESTES Method:

A slightly successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. This session felt very conversational.

The word “book” was said in part of a phrase towards the end of the session, along with the word “write” discovered in the SBox recording above, this could be Timrod explaining his occupation: “write book”. 

An EMF reading of 11.4mG  discovered while at this location.

Here are the four images that were created by the SEER app through the VR headset:

For reference, the “bloody hand” photo is very similar to the another AI generated image from June 21st’s investigation. (below)

Philadelphia Alley: No EMF discovered on site.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “payback”, “turn around”, “needle in a haystack”, “fifty-three”, “fifty-six”, “gonna get lucky”, “hide in their homes”, “red wine”, “firework”, “citizenship”, “a sign”.
