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 term “yellow” was heard on the spirit box.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 3.1mG (milligauss), 3.5mG, and 3.9mG.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “one party state”, “through the glass”, “twelve people” (this along with the “fire” phrases later heard are relevant to the Great Fire of 1861 which destroyed the Pinckney Mansion), “first” (this came about when we were discussing the president that served as a pallbearer at Eliza Lucas’s funeral), “one nine seven nine”(noteworthy to mention we were discussing birthdays and my birthday is February 28, 1979), “and they burn” (see “twelve people”), “I won’t tell it” (this was  direct response), “burnt down” (more fire terms).

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on the spirit box: “sixty-five”, “seven” (this number is often seen/heard at this location due to Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s birthday of July 7; it is often seen in doubles), “Arizona”, “Lord has spoken” (religious terms/phrases are common with St. Philip’s Church nearby), “eggs” (no other defining clue but this alley was once called Cow Alley due to the livestock that was kept here).

Powder Magazine: Anomalous 2.7mG and 3.1mG readings discovered on the back half of the space. Odd, due to the lack of EMF readings that are found here.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “fourteen” (heard several time), “rose” (relevant to the house that Dr. Ladd stayed; 59 Church Street is known as the Thomas Rose House), “seven” (yet another seven for the Doctor from Philadelphia Alley), “wave”, “president” (noteworthy that this term was also discovered on the digital word list above and John Calhoun, our 7^th Vice President is buried on the other side of the brick wall next to the Powder Magazine), “Joan”, “red” (the color of Anne Bonny’s hair), “you can get a quick reading” (see the EMF readings for this space above).

Washington Square: EMF readings for this space: 3.3mG, 6.6mG, 10.2mG and 160.3mG (this last reading is now the highest I’ve recorded at this location).

Terms heard on the spirit box: “a man struggling” (vague, but Henry Timrod did have tuberculosis), “to the library” (Timrod’s works/collection is held at the Charleston Library Society), “four two nine”, “Anne”, “sixty-five”, “getting married” (I found that Timrod married his wife Kate on February 16, 1864), “screams”.

• 1:10;33 “shot” Vague, but near Philadelphia Alley once known as Dueler’s Alley.
• 1:15:07 “real”
• 1:20:04 “for 24 months”
• 1:21:16 “not a problem”
• 1:25:17 “red wine” This stuck out simply because we had another phrase a few weeks back (close to the Circular Church) that said “smell the wine” and the entire team stopped because we all smelled vinegar. Odd. See “Genesis 9” in the real time notes below.
• 1:31:44 “promotes envy”
• 1:40:16 “three five eight”

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 term “survivor” was heard on a spirit box.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF detected: 3.1mG, 5.0mG (milligauss), 35MG, 42mG. The average for this location is 18-22mG.

Terms/phrases heard on spirit boxes: “three”, “twenty-four”, “spirit”, “James”, “joint pain”, “forty-three”, “ninety-six”, “save me”, “help”, “baby, it’s over”, “Bible”, “red” (what color is the Big Red Barn), “shooting star” (Thomas Pinckney was shot during the Battle of Camden during the Revolutionary War), “George” (several vague clues to Baby George Lucas during this investigation), “I woke up dead”.

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.

Powder Magazine: Terms/phrases heard on spirit boxes: “I’m living now”, “talking too much”, “tell the truth”, “I did it all for love” (discussing Anne Bonny’s many lovers), “black knight”, “shipwreck” (no better term to help describe pirates than this!), “prophecy”, “twenty-eight” (Anne Bonny’s trial for piracy was November 28, 1720), “forty-five”, “Genesis 9” (very odd indeed, with the “red wine” heard in the SBox findings above. See this link, but take note of the paragraph under “Noah and his sons” where it discusses that Noah drank the wine created from his own vineyard.)

Washington Square: The anomalous event of the EMF detector was that there were no EMF spikes found. This location has given us random readings of well over 100mG on a regular basis.

Terms heard on the spirit boxes: “Chelsea”, “CJ”, “eight four five”, “nine” (there were other numbers with this “nine”, but wanted to point out that Willie, Henry Timrod’s infant son, died at the age of nine months. He was born on Christmas Eve.)

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 there to help you learn what to listen for as you go through this type of audio.

• 0:17 “rhythm”
• 5:27 “don’t”
• 10:49 “I actually believe”
• 20:31 “loaded gun” A bit of a stretch, but we just discussed how Big John Cannady was shot in the neck during a bar brawl.
• 31:18 “horrible person”
• 35:08 “masculinity”
• 40:46 “change it…the packages” This would be close to the time that some devices were being interchanged.
• 40:57 “four seven” Still close to Big John’s Tavern, named after John Cannady who played for the 1947 New York Giants.
• 45:26 “your sister”
• 50:59 “remarkable”
• 55:08 “be ready”
• 55:50 “Tom Brady” Not sure if “Tom” would be used in the 1700’s, but Eliza had a son named Thomas Pinckney.
• 1:05:28 “and Nick” It’s not uncommon to hear my name in spaces I visit on a nightly basis.
• 1:10:36 “clear the way”
• 1:20:43 “me and my sister” Noteworthy that the term “sister” was found above. When a term/phrase shows up multiple times, it’s begging for attention.
• 1:30:37 “enslaved” We would be discussing the bricks at the end of Philadelphia Alley at this point which were sun-dried bricks from slave children.
• 1:40:52 “Pennsylvania”
• 1:45:41 “Americans”
• 1:50:31 “February”
• 1:55:34 “credibility”
• 2:00:34 “but your mom” Another modern term, “mom”, but it’s worth mentioning that we also had the name “Jackson” in the digital word list. Andrew Jackson’s mother has a memorial in Washington Park where we searched for Henry Timrod.
• 2:05:38 “stomach area pain” Unknown if Timrod had abdominal tuberculosis, but it is definitely something to consider with this phrase.

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: No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF detectors gave the following readings: 4.9mG (milligauss), 5.1mG, 6.7mG, 7.2mG, 11.3mG, 12.6mG, 14.2mG, 28.3mG, 32.3mG. The K-II Meter gave readings of 10-15mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “buried”, “president” (this term showed just as I was revealing which president was the pallbearer at Eliza’s funeral).

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.

Powder Magazine: The REM function of the Mel Meter gave several Blue readings and an Orange reading indicating motion near the user.

The Onvoy gave initials of both Marys in the story: “MB” (Mary Brennan was Anne Bonny’s mother), and “MR” (Mary Read was Anne Bonny’s companion/lover).

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Greg”, “servant” (Anne is said to have killed one her servants with a knife to the belly when she was just a young girl), “boyfriend”, “it died” (the direct answer to asking Anne about her first-born baby).

Washington Square: Very significant EMF readings. It’s noteworthy to mention that the ground where the EMF was mainly detected had a raised temperature of about 70°, about 5-7° higher than other ground in the same park.

EMF Readings: 7.9mG (Trifield Meter), 18.4mG 32.5mG, 37.2mG, 37.9mG, 50.0mG, 50.4mG, 52mG, 65.9mG. The K-II Meter gave readings of 15-20mG.

The REM function of the Mel Meter gave several Blue readings here as well indicating motion near the user.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “six”, “coal”, “hey Brad” (noteworthy that “Brad” is also on the digital word list above).

The SLS camera also went in and out of focus multiple times at the Powder Magazine and Washington Park. At this time, as we learn more about the operation of this camera, this is simply noteworthy and will not be counted as being paranormal at this time.

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: No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF Meters gave readings of 5.6mG (milligauss), 6.2mG, 8.3mG, 9.0mG, 17mG and 18.2mG.

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.

Powder Magazine: An EMF spike of 2.8mG was discovered on the TriField EMF detector.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “kill”, “drown”, “Anne” (obvious reference to our subject, Anne Bonny), “Richard”, “Mary” (along with “Will” on the digital word generator, this gives us both parents of Anne Bonny), “in the river”, “doctor” (still close to Philadelphia Alley with the Whistling Doctor), “freedom”.

The Onvoy provided the number “eight”.

The Mel Meter also gave multiple red REM readings indicating close motion near the user.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “friends”, “the 25^th”, “twenty”, “three hundred”, “Noah”, “Noel”, “help”, “shoot”, “war stopped” (this last phrase significant due to the lifespan of Henry Timrod, who was not only alive and fought briefly during the Civil War, but was alive just a few years passed it’s ending).

From markers 20:34 to 21:01, Powder Magazine, it seems there is an extra figure attached/close to Trey. In the screenshot below, marker 20:53, it shows more points of reference than it should for just one person. It’s also noteworthy that this is where Trey’s mother’s name came up on the digital spirit box word list below.

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: No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF detectors gave readings of 6mG (milligauss), 10mG, and 14mG.

Terms heard on the SBox: “late 20’s” (a stretch, but Eliza was 22 when she married Charles), “five” (see “five” in the Digital Word List above), “sixty-four”, “born in August” (see “five” above).

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the SBox: “Jim” (short for James, though unsure this nickname would’ve been used in the 1710’s), “that’s”, “Campbell”, and “Andrew”. Relations to team members with Campbell and Andrew.

Washington Square: No EMF activity found.

Terms heard on the SBox: “five eight seven”, “fifty-five”, “freezing rain”, “cold as ice”, “Benny and the Jets”, “the best”, “BG”, “fifty-four”, “five hundred”, “no sisters” (heard when asking how many brothers and sisters Henry Timrod had, he was an only child).

Overall Significant Theme: Seems this investigation had a theme of the number “five” and quite a few clues directly related to the guest ghost hunters of this investigation.

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: No anomalous data recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF detectors gave the following readings: 3.6mG (milligauss), 7.7mG, 7.8mG, 8.0mG, 14.4mG, 19.7mG, 20.6mG, 21.4mG, 26mG, 29.5mG, 36.1mG, 45.7mG, 59.9mG.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “cherry”, “free”, “three three five” (the address of the Pinckney Mansion site is 235 East Bay Street), “three options”.

Philadelphia Alley: No anomalous data recorded.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the spirit box: “twenty” (Anne Bonny’s trial for piracy was November 28, 1720), “gold” (definitely a pirate term!), “liberty”, “barrel”, “sugar” (sugar was a prominent crop among pirates and would’ve been stored in barrels), “rough”, “twenty seven”, “five”, “fifty five”, “three oh three”, “creative”, “Harry”, “between”, “chapter 49”, “jewelry”.

The Onvoy gave an anagram of “RWA” which could be translated to “WAR”. Noteworthy that the Powder Magazine served seven wars and one rebellion.

Washington Square: EMF detectors gave one reading of 13mG.

Terms heard on the spirit box: “rose colored RayBans”, “brown eyed girl”, “seven”. These three terms specifically relate to Dr. Ladd from the Philadelphia Alley story. The address where the doctor lived is only 0.3miles away from our location (see map below). This house is now known as the Thomas Rose House. We also have a part of Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s name and a digit from his birthday in this small set of terms.

Other terms heard on the spirit box: “David” (still no luck on who the heck this is in relation to Washington Square), “Abigail”, “twenty three” (Willie, Henry’s son, died on October 23), “seventy-seven” (more sevens in relation to Dr. Ladd).

The Onvoy spelled out “AXE”.

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 EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 2.8mG (milligauss) and 2.9mG.

Terms heard on the SBox: “field”, “Georgetown”, “run away”

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 10mG, 14mG and 23mG.

Terms heard on the SBox: “in a castle” (this was a mansion), “there’s only three”, “there’s no way to trust”, “sacrifice yourself”, “five”, “lame” (we determined that this could be a possible reference to Thomas Pinckney who was shot in his left leg during the Battle of Camden), “stop, dammit”, “let’s go”.

Philadelphia Alley: Terms from the SBox: “fifty” (didn’t find the “nine”, but Dr. Ladd lived at 59 Church Street), “losers” and “gun” (both terms loosely related to dueling).

Powder Magazine: Terms from the SBox: “my mother died” (direct relation to Anne Bonny’s mother, Mary Brennan, who died shortly after they arrived to Georgetown), “finally found you”, “back to Philadelphia” (we were walking in the direction to Philadelphia Alley as we moved through the Powder Magazine space), “because I wanted” ( a direct answer to asking Anne why she married a pirate), “shame on you”, “Will” and “William” (this is the name of Anne Bonny’s father, William Cormac), “around the fortress” (at the Powder Magazine where it held gun powder for seven different wars and one rebellion).

Washington Square: EMF readings from the Mel Meter: 3.5mG, 4.3mG, 8.0mG, 9.9G, 10.3mG, 12.8mG, 14.4mG, 16.0mG, 18.0mG, 19.7mG, 21.5mG, 28.2mG.

Terms heard on the SBox: “read all the papers” (as I was about to read a stanza from Timrod’s “Charleston”), “I guess I don’t have to”, “hand trick” (we discussed the SLS interaction where the figure in the video raised his hand on command), “ripped”, “Judy”, “good burning”, “20^th century”, “it’s hot”, “store our feelings”, “heartbreaking”, “at war” (Timrod did serve briefly for the Confederates during the Civil War), “Bible calls Jesus”, “two other greats”
