We’ve created this Field Guide to help you navigate your media below. There are paranormal evidence examples to aid you in what to look/watch/listen for in your own data set along with a short tutorial of each device used in nightly investigations.
EVP Audio
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.

- 30:32 “go back”
- 40:13 “hypocrisy”
- 45:33 “a fall”
- 50:21 “family” Vague, but this term is commonly found when near/at the Pinckney Mansion site.

Thermal Imaging Video
This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.
Marker 8:42, Pinckney Mansion Site: Possible anomaly moving in front of ghost hunter, small white dot. I would normally discount this as an insect, but it appears in frame along with disappearing in frame.
Infrared Lighting Video
No anomalies detected in the spot check of the IRPOV 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 “blue” was heard on a spirit box at this location, relevant to Eliza Lucas’s indigo crops which created blue dye.
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings in milligauss: 13.8mG, 17.2mG, 51.9mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “hello” (SB11-ANC), “Charles” (SB11-ANC. Could be relevant to one of the three Charles PInckneys related to this space), “Billie”, “new country”, “take medicine for arthritis”, “red” (what color is a big red barn?)
Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.
Powder Magazine:EMF readings: 3.1mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “youngin’”, “thanks for being here”, “one five three”, “fifteen hundred”, “Anne” (Anne Bonny), “William” (SB11-ANC, direct answer to the name of Anne Bonny’s father, William Cormac), “pirate Clyde” (can’t deny the word pirate when investigating anyone from the Golden Age of Piracy), “apple bottom jeans”, “senior”, “Molly”, “mother”, “Kara” (this was a ghost hunter’s name on the team, the same hunter who had a personal experience with a spirit box), “six one eight two zero” (the two zero portion of this could be a reference to the year of Anne Bonny’s trial for piracy, 1720)
Ghost hunter had a personal experience with several conversational pieces involving a family heirloom ring. See EVP Audio for the full conversation in real time.
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
ESTES Method: A slightly successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site.
The numbers two and twenty were said during this session, so I thought I would look into February 20. What I found was that Henry Timrod’s wife, Katie, of whom we had several clues to during this session, has a birthday of February 25th. This is damn close and I don’t find it coincidental bases on the other clues above along with the images below.
“Will” and “Billie”, and “grampa” were also said. Phonetically, “Billie” sounds like Henry Timrod’s son’s name, Willie who was named after his grandpa (Henry’s father), whose name was William.
Here are the images created by the SEER app through the VR headset:

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “sixteen percent”, “thirty”, “twenty” (this was Big John Cannady’s first jersey number), “liver” (we did just leave the Tavern area), “October 25” (Close, but no cigar, Charles PInckney’s (Eliza’s nephew) birthday is October 26), “my death”, “seven hundred”.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “sixty-two”, “accuse”, “lost”, “two eighty”, “eight sixty” (Dr. Ladd’s death: November 2, 1786).

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.
- 0:17 “valid”
- 5:27 “around the world:”
- 10:39 “I have dirt” Odd phrase, but goes with the “seeds” found in the digital word list below. It’s not uncommon for us to see “gardening terms” as we discuss Eliza’s indigo crops.
- 15;23 “my best”
- 20:29 “violence with your hands” We discussed Big John Cannady’s bar brawl.
- 25;46 “for the next chair”
- 35:02 “conductor”
- 39:55 “save the boy” We discussed Eliza’s son, infant George, and his passing during infancy.
- 45:04 “held together”
- 50:00 “leave us” Disembodied, over four radio sweeps. This was also about the time we were leaving the PInckney Mansion site.
- 55:27 “I saw the sign” (song lyric)
- 59:12 “and Sara” A stretch, but Dr. Ladd’s mother’s name was Sarah.
- 1:10:39 “contents”
- 1:20:16 “golden age” (song lyric) We were discussing pirates from the Golden Age of PIracy.
- 1:36:20 “twelve”
- 1:40:55 “action”
- 1:46:08 “he told us…the ring”
- 1:50:10 “partnership”
- 1:55:15 “second chance”
- 2:00:14 “in April 19” The monument in question of Marguerite Silkner Valk, was married in April of 1917.
- 2:01:38 “designated”
- 2:01:56 “like a vault” Sounds a lot like “Valk” from the monument.
- 2:03:35 “children” I don’t find it coincidental that the picture that came through of the old woman looks very similar to Marguerite Valk’s daughter with the same. See the photos below in the real time notes.

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.

Here are the terms I discovered in the last 18 minutes of the SBox recording above:
- 2:00:36 “remarkable animal”
- 2:04:04 (whistling) I had a sense that Dr. Ladd (the Whistling Doctor)might also be there. His home of 59 Church Street is nearby.
- 2:04:06 “hands on my knees” First, notice the close timestamps of this phrase and the previous…Dr. Ladd was shot in the knee during his duel with Ralph Isaacs.

We’ve created this Field Guide to help you navigate your media below. There are paranormal evidence examples to aid you in what to look/watch/listen for in your own data set along with a short tutorial of each device used in nightly investigations.
EVP Audio
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 on the team.
- 0:46 “space”
- 5:38 “the sign”
- 10:06 “what is that”
- 15:21 “immediately after”
- 20:50 “claim your independence”
- 25:48 “another language”
- 30:28 “George” A different “George” than what was heard in real time since this is when we entered the PInckney Mansion site.
- 40:18 “things you shouldn’t”
- 44:44 “understand boundaries”
- 50:29 “there’s the honor”
- 55:41 “family” Common term to hear while in/near the PInckney Mansion site.
- 1:00:56 “miraculous”
- 1:10:32 “seventy-five”
- 1:10:40 “Jackson” Inside Philadelphia Alley. I’ve heard several rumors that Andrew Jackson also had a duel in this location, but could never find the actual proof.
- 1:21:05 “Rogers” The name “Roger” is commonly found when discussing John “Calico Jack” Rackham since he designed the original pirate flag of a skull and cross-swords (not bones) for the Jolly Roger.
- 1:25:45 “it’s Will” Anne Bonny’s father was William Cormac.
- 1:35:33 “not afraid of him”
- 1:50:08 “trios”
- 2:01:19 “champion”

Screenshot of marker 19:19, Circular Graveyard. Video markers of 19:15 through 19:28. Anomalous figure standing near the gate of the graveyard. Notice the three “points” that make up the head, this is the depth of a face (nose and eyes). I debunk a lot of these figures with a single “dot” for a head and no depths to an actual face. Proportions, movements and height are all in order for this to be a spirit near the graveyard. Nice catch. Use the slidebar to see the original screenshot and one lightened 2x for clarity.

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: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “what’d he say”, “John” (still near Big John’s Tavern), “black cap” (noteworthy that “hat” was found on the digital word list above around the same time).
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings in milligauss: 6.4mG, 8.5mG, 32.5mG, 43.5mG, 45.4mG, 54mG, 74.9mG. The average spike for this location is between 18-22mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Abraham”, “never leave me”, “one” (George Washington was a pallbearer at Eliza’s funeral), “thank you”, “nineteen”, “twenty-six”, “relationship”, “marry”, “fifty-five” (bleed over from Big John’s Tavern, established in 1955), “gunshot” and “hit me with your best shot” (Thomas PInckney was shot during the Battle of Camden), “George” (could be one of three George’s relevant to Eliza).
The Onvoy spelled out the word “KEY”.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “this man is a killer” (we were about to discuss dueling), “seventy-five”, “fifty”.The Onvoy spelled out “COW” (Philadelphia Alley was once known as Cow Alley).
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “she worked and traveled”, “down in Georgia”, “minister” (common to receive religious terms while near St. Philip’s church), “Paul” (with the one phrase from the ESTES method, this could be relevant to Paul Hayne Hamilton, poet and friend to Henry Timrod whom we would attempt contact at the next location), “London”, “treasures” (discussing pirates, vague).
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. The one phrase that stood out was “June 1886”. At first, I thought I needed to look into June 18 and how it might be relevant to Henry Timrod. Instead, I found that Timrod’s collegiate friend, Paul Hayne Hamilton died in July of 1886.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:
- 0:18 “going”
- 3:29 “baby” Timrod had a son named Willie, born on Christmas Eve, and passed away nine months later.
- 3:34 “twenty-four, seven” Willie was born on Christmas Eve.
- 10:24 “for sure”
- 14:24 “birthday” Confirms the “twenty-four” above.
Here is the photo seen through the VR Headset and SEER App. Seems all clues to Timrod were themed with his son. Notice the sad face on the teddy bear.

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: An anomalous 6.5mG (milligauss) EMF reading discovered here while the term “spiritual” was heard simultaneously.
The word “bye” was heard on the SB11 spirit box as we were leaving Big John’s Tavern.
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings discovered here: 17mg, 17.4mG, 123mG, 124mG, 160mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: (religious terms), “eight six” (bleed over from Big John’s Tavern which may or may not have had something to do with the first death from the Big Earthquake of 1886), “Chris” (one of our team members, about the same time the high EMF readings started coming in), “reason why” (when asking Eliza to show up again just outside her “home”), “John” (Big John Cannady), “fifty-five” (The tavern was established in 1955).
Philadelphia Alley: A 10.7mG EMF reading from the TriField EMF Meter.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “the glove”, “John”, “Cleveland”, “brave”, “shot through the heart” (focus word “shot” while discussing duels)
Powder Magazine: A small EMF of 2.6mG discovered here.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “twice”, “rest”, “sit back and relax”, “relax”, “Eliza” (relevant due to her husband, Charles Pinckney, buried across the street from this location), “be careful”, “consequence”, “baby” (possible relevance to Anne Bonny’s baby or another “baby” story that we didn’t cover), “thirty-two, thirty”, “Georgia”, “wife had a gun” (sounds like Anne Bonny to me!), “near the entrance”, “Maria”, “Luck” (disembodied, when asking Anne how she got onto Jack’s ship).
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
Terms that stood out but found no significance: “August 26th”, “I am fifty” (number repeated on the digital word list above), “Nashville”, “Joshua”.
Terms relatable to Dr. Ladd since his home is nearby: “I only have one shot”, “I have a gun”, “together”, “ten” (the amount of paces taken during a duel).
The entire session felt like a vague conversation.
ESTES Method: A slightly successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:
- 0:16 “sweet dreams”
- 3:06 “be prepared”
- 6:27 “negotiate”
- 9:02 “know he’s gonna pay”
- 11:35 “one day”
- 14:18 “heard the bell with her song…lovely” We asked Timrod what sound was coming from St. Michael’s Church when the bells were ringing in real time.

We’ve created this Field Guide to help you navigate your media below. There are paranormal evidence examples to aid you in what to look/watch/listen for in your own data set along with a short tutorial of each device used in nightly investigations.
EVP Audio
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 on the team.
- 0:24 “New York” Not only did we have ghost hunters from NY on the team, but we were at Big John’s Tavern, named after 1947 New York Giants player, Big John Cannady.

- 56:01 “part of the tomb” We discussed my theory on Baby George Lucas and how he may have been kept in a tomb inside the Pinckney home.
- 1:00:26 “Joe” A bit of a stretch, but we would’ve been leaving the PInckney Mansion around this time to go discuss Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd.

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: An EMF reading discovered by the Big Red Barn: 2.9mG (milligauss)
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings in milligauss: 12.9mG, 19.3mg, 43.1mG, 51.7mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “bad”, “stop”, “fire” (the PInckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “twelve” (part of the date for that Great Fire: December 11, 1861), “eighty-five”.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “disorganized”, “clear’.
Powder Magazine: EMF readings of 2.8mG and 6.9mG discovered.
Terms from spirit boxes: “sunk” and “target the ship” (when asking about Calico Jack’s ship), “one two six”, “can you tell me what”, “ninety-six”, “baby, you’re a fire”, “three three”, “three four” (when adding up these numbers, it adds up to 13 and the Powder Magazine was finished in 1713, a big stretch), “sweet child o’ mine”, “2020” (the year of Anne Bonny’s pirate trial: 1720), “double”, “anytime”
Circular Church: An EMF reading of 10.8mG while the phrase “he died on a battlefield” was heard simultaneously.
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
An EMF reading over 10mG was discovered as we began the ESTES session.
ESTES Method: A slightly successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Terms that stood out: “December” (due to Willie Timrod’s birthday of Christmas Eve) and the “sun is coming up” while Ross described the picture of a “sun rise”. Partial conversation pieces came through.
Mary mentioned having a “metal” taste in her mouth after the ESTES session. This could be due to the blood that Henry Timrod choked on for his last breath from his Tuberculosis. Here is his blood stained final page.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:
- 0:30 “every rose” We’ve been noticing more relevant terms to Dr. Ladd’s house of 59 Church Street (from the dueling story). This address is known as The Thomas Rose House. Tom may have been said during the ESTES session. Hard to make out.
- 10;31 “Patrick”
- 11:13 “for this reason”
- 14:58 “bad idea”
- 15:17 “sacred coin”
- 20:32 “autograph”
- 25:01 “murdered” The new location for this route is close by and is a murder mystery that was never solved. This is what I’m researching to add to the route in 2024.
Here are the 7 photos seen through the VR Headset and SEER App. So far, this is the most amount of images that have come up in the 10 minjute sessions.
