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:EMF in milligauss: 5.7mG and 10.5mG.
Terms heard on the spirit box: “the food he brings to the table”, “rock the boat”.
Pinckney Mansion Site:EMF discovered here: 10.3mG, 10.7mG, 12.4mG, 19.9mG, 39.8mG, 57.5mG.
Terms heard on the spirit box: “five twenty-four”, “ninety”, “life”, “thirty”, “sixty months”, “seven months”, “sister” (Eliza did have a sister named Mary, but all who knew her called her Polly), “going now” (as we left the site)
Yes, the American Flag was made with indigo.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms on the spirit box: “investigator”, “Jesus is enough” (common to hear/see religious terms and phrases while nearing St. Philip’s Church), “six nine twelve”
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the spirit box: “opals” (found an odd connection with opals and “cesium” found in the digital word list. I’m not sure exactly how this ties the location, but find it fascinating that these two odd words have a connection at all. Notice that this report is on the Tibetan Hot Springs and think of the picture we later found during the SEER session), “two and two” (Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd was 22 years old when he died from his gunshot wound from the duel with Ralph Isaacs), “forty-nine, seventy-nine”, “seventy-five”, “twenty dollars a month” (Anne Bonny’s pirate trial was November 28, 1720), “ninety”, “this girl is on fire” (we often hear female gendered terms and phrases while discussing two pirate women dressed as men)
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
Terms heard on the spirit box: “nine hundred”, ‘“five five”, “January”, “Ranger”, “five days”, “fire”, “yes sir”, “two seven three zero”, “you wanna hang out”, “difficult”, “Malakai”, “number one video company” and “president of operations” (gives us the name of the park is named after: our “number one president”, George Washington), “three”, “happened to me”, “wanted to know”, “that is their plan”, “one two”, “Bible”, “paranoid”.

See the “Meet the Team” tab at the top of this page), “family”, “goal”, “three four”, “justice” (again with the Chief Justices)
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
EMF reading found: 2.6mG.
Terms heard on the spirit box: “Revelations”, “five” (heard multiple times. This number usually comes up during our ESTES sessions when asking how many spirits are there with us), “Jeffrey”, “panic a little bit”, “limited”, “look at what they’ve done”, “died suddenly” (this ties perfectly to “desk” in the word list above with Henry Timrod).

- 1:20:23 “my son” We were near St. Philip’s church, where Eliza’s husband, Charles, is buried. There were plenty of other clues in real time that suggested we had clues to Baby George Lucas.

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 readings in milligauss: 5.0mG, 18.1mG, 100mG, 104mG. The average spike for this location is between 18-22mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Abby” (we had an Abby on our team), “Lynn” (we had a Lynn Rae on our team), “blue” (when asking about Eliza’s business [indigo]), “chapter two”.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “moment of silence” (this alley is meant for “listening” for whistles from the doctor), “it’s dark”, “doctor” (we were discussing The Whistling Doctor), “work”, “friends”.
The consecutive letters of “R-I” came up on the Onvoy. Dr. Ladd is from Rhode Island, and his Charleston companion/dueling opponent was Ralph Isaacs.
Powder Magazine: EMF readings from the TriField Meter: 5.2mG, 10.4mg. Exciting due to the lack of EMF spikes found here.
Heard on spirit boxes: “careful what you wish for”, “too late”, “low life”, “love”, “Satan”, “bell”, “child” (from the SB11-ANC), “million fish in the sea” (not uncommon to see/hear aquatic terms while discussing pirates on the open seas).
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
Once again, Dr. Ladd was thought to be interrupting our session attempting contact with Henry Timrod. Dr. Ladd’s home of 59 Church Street is 0.3 miles from this location and more clues keep intercepting our contact with Timrod. See notes and VR Pictures below for further referencing.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. The state “Rhode Island” was said during this session; relevant to Dr. Ladd’s home state.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording (last 12 minutes of the SBox audio above)
- 1:50:46 “I love the train”
- 1:52:36 “talks”
- 1:55:20 “twenty-four hour” I asked if Henry Timrod wanted to reveal something specific about his son, Willie who was born on Christmas Eve.
- 1:58:23 “I’ll help you with that”
- 2:00:04 “it’s the bell” We asked Henry to tell us what sound we heard coming from St. Michael’s Church.
Here are the 4 photos seen during the ESTES Session through the VR Headset and SEER App. Three out of Four pictures could lead to clues to Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd.

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.
- 0:01 “every…dead”
- 5:46 “true”
- 10:32 “I know you’re busy”
- 15:13 “single family home”
- 20:57 “first”
- 25:25 “marry me” (song lyric)
- 25:32 “the apron”
- 30:27 “double the cash” Vague, but we did discuss how Charles Pinckney was over double Eliza’s age at time of marriage.
- 35:03 “see him smile”
- 35:12 “I’m glad he did”
- 50:31 “taken over”
- 50:41 “Raymond”
- 1:00:17 “living around”
- 1:05:22 “at the right hand”
- 1:06:00 “poor”
- 1:15:27 “trying to tell you”
- 1:25:58 “warn”
- 1:30:38 “did not establish”
- 1:31:01 “burned”
- 1:40:24 “1960”
- 1:51:04 “find out”
- 1:55:20 “obedient”
- 2:00:46 “show up today”
- 2:00:58 “I think I had an awakening”
- 2:11:03 “I can’t look” We’ve been getting many phrases that lead to lack of sight when blindfolding the ESTES method participants.
- 2:15:24 “twenty-four was the day” Best piece out of this separate list. Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, had a birthday of Christmas Eve.
- 2:20:13 “any words” We asked Henry Timrod several times to tell us his occupation of being a poet/writer.
- 2:25:35 “preaching”
Thermal Imaging Video
No anomalies detected during the spot check of the thermal imaging video. This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.
Marker 7:35, Pinckney Mansion site. A disembodied voice can be heard from the SB11-ANC that says “right here”.
Marker 10;56, PInckney Mansion site. The same voice can then be heard saying “Charles”.
Great catches in real time!
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: An EMF reading spiked at 3.0mG (milligauss). Terms heard on spirit boxes: “life and death”, “investigate”.
Pinckney Mansion Site:EMF readings: 6.0mG, 10.0mG, 15.0mG, 46mg
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “loud”, “twenty” (bleed over from Big John’s Tavern as this was his first jersey number in 1947), “fourteen” (the number of years Eliza and Charles were married 1744-58), “messed up”, “who are you”, “Annie, are you okay”, “15,000”, nine”, “president”, “heavy”, “Bobby”, “fight”, “twelve” (part of the date of the Great Fire of 1861 that destroyed the PInckney Mansion), “thirteen”, “fifteen”, “twenty-two” (we commonly hear this number here due to Eliza’s age at time of marriage as well as her birth year of 1722)
Philadelphia Alley: The phrase “absolutely spiritual” was heard on our way to the alley.
Powder Magazine: An EMF spike of 4.2mG while at this site.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “crying”, “in Christ” (plenty of religious terms were heard, but not all notated due to this common anomaly while near St. Philip’s Church), “eighty-eight” (see below), “six week” (see below), “Wednesday”, “James Harding” (possibly one of two references; James Bonny was Anne’s first husband, see below for the more likely scenario), “Helen”.
I am under higher confidence that more clues to Sue Howard Hardy’s story were discovered over any pirate tale I could’ve told.
- “Eight-eight” Sue Howard Hardy died on June 16, 1888.
- “Six weeks” Sue died six days after her stillborn child.
- “harding “ sounds quite a bit like “Hardy”
- The Onvoy had the letters “SH” consecutively. Though we’ve had all three initials, with all other clues discovered and the closeness to the date of her death, I am confident there is more going on here with Sue than Anne.
- WARNING: THIS LINK CONTAINS THE CURSED PHOTO.
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
.EMF spikes during the ESTES session: 3.0mG, 4.2mG, and 6.4mG.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording
- 0:11 “replace them”
- 0:27 “all the murders”
- 10:24 “invitation”
- 12:25 “goes out”
Here are the 3 photos seen during the ESTES Session through the VR Headset and SEER App.

- 1:50:20 “see”
- 1:55:14 “slam the door” Only relevant since “slam” came up on the digital word list around the same 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: EMF readings in milligauss: 5.2mG, 7.2mG, 16mG.
Terms heard on the spirit box: “twenty percent” (Big John’s first jersey number was 20), “seven three four”, “fifty seventy-nine”.
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 17mG, 24mg, 31.7mG, 33.2mG, 45.5mG, 54mG, 65mG.
Terms heard on the spirit box: “Richard”, “president” (when asking about the president who acted as a pallbearer to Eliza’s funeral: George Washington).
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on the spirit box: “Peter”, “rattle”, “Jesus” (common to hear/see religious terms as we near St. Philip’s Church)
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the spirit box: “I don’t wanna know”, “twelve point five million”, “1950”, “rest”, “rain”, “traveling”.
The Onvoy gave us the name “Lee” which we later found out why. There was a booking for an investigation next week for someone with the name Lee. Often, we’ll find that my devices will predict someone on the next tour with a specific trait/feature/origin of that person. This happens about 15-20 times a year.
The Onvoy also spelled out “DRY”, this stood out since the word “rain” was heard in real time.
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
EMF spikes during the ESTES session: 8.1mG, 8.4mG, 16.8mG. Particularly when the name Willard was said in real time. Henry Timrod’s son was named Willie.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording (last 15 minutes of the SBox recording above):
- 2:01:49 “never said I was sorry” (song lyric)
- 2:05:37 “stuck in your head”
- 2:08:22 “join separate teams”
- 2:11:28 “been a long time” (song lyric)
- 2:14:19 “told me”
Here are the 2 photos seen during the ESTES Session through the VR Headset and SEER App.

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.
- 0:16 “twenty-three” Relative to Big John Cannady in one of two ways: He was born on September 5, 1923 and he died on September 23, 2002.
- 6:02 “all his heart” What color is a big red barn?
- 10:33 “wasting his time”
- 15:32 “fellowship”
- 15:48 “delivery drivers” We discussed the history of the Big Red Barn and how it held horses that delivered milk and eggs to the residents of Charleston.
- 20:39 “chaos”
- 25:51 “must protect” This is a disembodied voice! Not radio chatter. We would’ve been entering the Pinckney Mansion site at this time.
- 26:18 “drinks allowed?” This is a disembodied voice with a second male voice behind it that is indiscernible. These two disembodied EVPs have been separated an cleaned up for clarity below. Two in one night!!
- 30:54 “next week”
- 35:49 “brothers and sisters”
- 41:22 “people go sleep”
- 45:10 (the whistling in a U2 song) We were on our way to go discuss The Whistling Doctor.

- 1:00:01 “at the vineyard”
- 1 05:35 “my grandkids are here”
- 1:10:14 “who you are”

- 1:24:54 “it will have to do”
- 1:25;30 “broken” (song lyric)
- 1:30:44 “inspiration”
- 1:40:21 “the president’ Entering Washington Park, named after our first president.

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 readings in milligauss: 5.0mG, 9mG, 10mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Boston” (user was wearing a Boston Celtics shirt/hat), “mason, of course” When asking about the pallbearer president at Eliza’s funeral: George Washington. “Fire” (the PInckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “July 24”.
Philadelphia Alley: An EMF reading of 6.4mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “we gotta be so careful”, “hottest topics”.
Powder Magazine: An anomalous EMF reading of 20mG.
Terms from spirit boxes: “youngest”, “no, I can’t”, “health care” (could be relatable to Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd from PHiladelphia Alley), “body of Christ” (common to see/hear religious terms while near St. Philip’s Church), “death”, “garden” (this one is tricky. Charles Pinckney, the husband of Eliza is buried at St. Philip’s. He’ll often introduce himself and then tell us something about his second wife, Eliza who planted the indigo. No introduction was found during my spot check), “amazing”, “Bible” (more religious terms), “mother”.
Washington Square:. Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy.
ESTES Method: A successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Terms that stood out during the live session: “seven” (Dr. Ladd’s birthday is July 7), “house” (Dr. Ladd’s home is nearby this location), “my son” (when asking Timrod if he wanted to discuss his wife, Katie), “summer” (only significant since it was said twice).
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording (last 15 minutes of the SBox recording above):
- 1:56:40 “how it works”
- 1:57:14 “potions”
- 2:01:38 “I’m Paul” Henry Timrod’s collegiate friend, Paul Hamilton Hayne who invited Henry to write at his cottage in Columbia where he wrote his last words.
- 2:09:36 “incisions” Aids to my suspicion that Dr. Ladd (whose home of 59 Church Street is very close) was also with us.
Here are the 6 photos seen during the ESTES Session through the VR Headset and SEER App.

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.
- 0:53 “touched”
- 5:19 “dang”
- 5:30 “passed away”
- 10:36 “delivery” The Big Red Barn once held horses that delivered milk and eggs to the residents of Charleston.
- 15:32 “fifty-seven”
- 20:47 “ninety-two”
- 25:18 “closer”
- 30:04 “too long” This kind of goes with the “hurry” found on the word list below.
- 35:07 “stranger” Real time moment. This is about the time that we had some tagalong strangers trying to join our ghost hunt.
- 45:04 “house” House/home are common terms found inside the PInckney Mansion site.
- 50:08 “2014” A slight stretch, but Eliza Lucas and Charles Pinckney were married for 14 years until Charles’s death in 1758.
- 55:38 “Greek word”
- 1:05:13 “stand my ground” (song lyric)
- 1:10:02 “alcohol”
- 1:10:56 “taste death” Sounds like a term used in the 1700’s, you know, when dueling was a thing.
- 1:25:47 “the Bible” Common to see/hear religious terms when near St. Philip’s Church.
- 1:26:22 “sand” The architecture of the Powder Magazine has sand under the shingles of the roof. In the event the magazine exploded from cannonfire, the sand would go in the air and fall to put out the fire of the gunpowder. The sand is still there and intact.
- 1:30:28 “tall drink”
- 1:41:02 “more comfortable”
- 1:45:41 “been a long time” (song lyric)
- 1:50:48 “August 4th”
- 1:55:18 “ships free”
- 2:00:43 “bell” As we walked into Washington Park. I often ask Henry about what sounds we hear out of St. Michael’s church nearby during the ESTES method.
- 2:05:42 “very insistent”

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 from all three EMF Meters in milligauss: 2.0mG, 15mG, 18mG, 20mG, 24.5mG, 25.1mG, 34.1mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “football” (bleedover from Big John’s), “James”, “Jesus”. (church hymns), these last two were heard when asking about Eliza’s death.
Philadelphia Alley: The phrase “I bought a ship” was heard on a spirit box as we were about to leave and discuss piracy.
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “this is John talking” (we did discuss John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “children in need”.
As we walked past the Circular Church Graveyard, a 16mG EMF reading was discovered. This is uncanny for walking on our sidewalks.
Washington Square:. The Onvoy spelled out “GW-DIED” We were in George Washington Park.
The Digital Camera died as we were getting settled into the park. This camera should’ve last through 400-500 more pictures or 3-4 hours.
ESTES Method: A successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Very conversational type of question/answer session. With the clues given through multiple devices and those under the ESTES blindfolds, it is speculated that both Henry Timrod and Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd may have been present. The name “Thomas” was relevant to Ladd because of his address, 59 Church Street, is now known as The Thomas Rose House.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:
- 0:12 “my name”
- 0:46 “new life”
- 10:26 “remarkable”
- 15:38 “across the leg” Two blindfolded ghost hunters had claims of someone touching their leg during the ESTES session.
- 20:21 “David”

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.
Photographs
There were no photos on the SD Card when I opened it. I double checked the functions of the camera by taking pics of my office. The device was working properly. I do not have an explanation for the missing photos. Possibly user error, possibly paranormal. We’ll never know.
All photos are uploaded to the Stories in the Cemetery Facebook page. Your investigation will have an individual folder labeled with the date and the lead traveler of your party. Be sure to check out the EVIDENCE Folder on our Facebook page for some compelling evidence.
SBox Spirit Box Audio
Your SBox audio is under 9 minutes. Again, not sure what is happening here between this and the missing photographs (each device used by separate people).
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.
- 0:01 “what message”
- 1:13 “brooke”
- 2:42 “we’re not careful”
- 6:20 “new forty-five” Charles PInckey, aged 45 at the time of marriage to Eliza Lucas, was over double her age: 22.
- 7;37 “at the heart” What color is a big red barn?
Thermal Imaging Video
No anomalies detected during the spot check of the thermal imaging video. This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.
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: No activity recorded.
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings from all three EMF Meter (in milligauss): 5.8mG, 7.6mG, 10mG, 13mG, 15mG, 25mG, 26.6mG, 36.6mG, 47.2mG, 54mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes, the uncanny terms relative to our next location will be separated for clarity:
“September” (Big John was born and died in the month of September), “eleven” (when asking about the date of the Great Fire that destroyed the mansion: December 11, 1861), “showers”, “five” (this completes Big John’s birthday of September 5, 1923).
“Art” and “I” (we commonly hear/see the initials “RI” for Rhode Island and Ralph Isaacs either on the Onvoy device or heard on the SBox). “They’re coming” (we weren’t quite at Philadelphia Alley yet)
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “family of five” , “old story”.
Powder Magazine: EMF Readings: 7.4mG, 9.3mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “that was dumb”, “enemy”, “I just died”, “blood”, “hope”, “Jack Black” (we discussed John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “dog” (famous quote by Anne Bonny), “saying nothing is the answer” (direct response to asking Anne about her possible homosexuality), “four”, “everyone’s going”, “Joshua”, “the death”
Washington Square:. EMF readings after the ESTES session: 9.5mG, 15mG.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. However, the name “Timothy” was said while attempting to converse with Henry Timrod. The nickname “Tim” has shown up here in the past, but thanks to Shannon she reminded who we were talking to.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:
- 3:47 “traveling”
- 6:15 “thirty years”
- 8:37 DISEMBODIED Voice. This is not radio chatter, however, the syllables are indecipherable at this point. I cleaned up the audio and it is still unclear. See below for separated audio.
- 8:45 “safe”
- 11:42 “Double A Division” I would just like to point out that the two young ladies under the ESTES session had names that began with A.
- 13:58 “ten in a row”
- 15:55 “military status”
- 17:27 “you’ve been here”

Powder Magazine: Anomalous EMF readings from the TriField Meter: 7.2mG, and 9.4mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “get a quarter pounder”, “July 4th” (we’ll often hear double sevens in this area due to Dr. Ladd’s birthday of July 7), “Mary” (could be relevant to one of the two Marys in the Anne Bonny story: Mary Read or Mary Brennan), “twenty-five”, “home”, “Eliza” (Charles Pinckney, Eliza’s husband, is buried across the street from this location. This isn’t the first time his wife’s name has been heard here), “uprising”, “Jew”, “A.J.”, “Jack” (we discussed John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “17” and “13” heard together make the year of the Powder Magazine’s founding), “prospect”, “nine oh five”, “hole”, “his father”, “ship” (definitely a pirate term), “child”, “treatment”, “carriage”
Washington Square:. A slight EMF reading of 6mG discovered after the ESTES Session.

- “Joseph” A direct answer when asking Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd to give us his name to verify his presence.
- “End of night” When asking Dr. Ladd and Mr. Timrod to say good-night back to us.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “thirty-five” (The address for the Pinckney Mansion site is 235 East Bay Street.), “Richard”, “sailor” (this was heard while close to the back of 5 Church Restaurant. This restaurant started as The Redeemer, a church for sailors to attend when they came into the Charleston wharfs. This church was started by Harriot Pinckney, descendent of Eliza.), “papa says”, “I’m standing up”, “my childhood”, “thirteen”.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “David”, “brother”, “actress” (the duel between Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd and Ralph Isaacs began over an actress in the Shakespearean play, Richard III), “eleven, eleven” (this is a personal note to me, see the EVP Audio above).
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Lee”, “circumcision”, “certain words I never said”, “seventy-nine”, “deprived”, “hotel”, “did it for her” (common to see female gender terms when discussing Anne Bonny), “heart”, “angel”.
The Onvoy spelled out “HOT”.
Washington Square:. The Onvoy spelled out the following terms: “TIES”, “CHIEF”, “MY PILLS” It is very uncommon to have so many terms come out of this device in one location.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. However, there was one phrase that stood out when asking about the name of Henry Timrod’s wife, Katie: “give her name” was said directly after this question.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 15 minutes of the SBox recording above).
- 1:29:57 “educate”
- 1:32:28 “in the house”

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 readings from the Mel Meter: 7.1mg (milligauss), 31mG, 38.7mG, 44mG, 45.5mG, 59.3mG, 78mG. The average spike for this location is between 18-22mG.
Terms heard on sprit boxes: “fire” (heard on SB11-ANC. The Pinckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “night/knife”, “burn” (more fire terms), “thirty-seven”, “five”, four out of five” (Charles PInckney was 45 years old when he married Eliza Lucas, 22).
The Onvoy device spelled out “uh-oh” and gave an anagram of “play” with “LPAY”. Play being looked at as a vague term of sports granted the other terms found related to Big John’s Tavern.
Philadelphia Alley:The word “girl” was heard on a spirit box upon exiting the alley. (female terms are common when discussing Anne Bonny, female pirate)
The Onvoy gave us the word “WAR” and eventually the initials “R-I” for either Rhode Island (where Dr. Ladd came from) or Ralph Isaacs, (Dr. Ladd’s friend/opponent in the duel that killed him).
Noteworthy to mention that the Onvoy device at this point had given us four terms. This is a lot from this device considering we are lucky to get one.
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “baby” (we did discuss the lack of knowledge of Anne Bonny’s first child in Cuba), “John’ (this is Calico Jack’s real name: John Rackham), “remember”, “government”, “Catherine”, “bitch”, “prepare”, “Mark” (this is Mary Read’s pirate alias), “855545-0”, “her”, “Jesus”, “God” (it’s common to hear religious terms when near St. Phlip’ Church), “husband”, “much better day”, “June’, “famous”, “tiny dancer”.
Washington Square:. No EMF recorded.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. (meaning no direct answers to the questions asked in real time). However, there were several clues relative to the dueling story of Dr. Ladd, whose home at 59 Church Street is only 0.3miles away from our location. We’ve noticed we often get clues relative to the story and the home itself.
Terms that stood out about Dr. Ladd: “22” (Ladd was this age when he died from his gunshot wound in 1786), “shot” (obvious nod to dueling), “home”,
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 12 minutes of the SBox recording above).
- 2:00:28 “so mad”
- 2:04:00 “donate”
- 2:05:47 “Will” A stretch, but Henry Timrod’s son was named Willie.
- 2:09:17 (a quick whistle) Another piece to add to my theory that someone from the Dr. Ladd history was with us. Ladd was known as The Whistling Doctor.
- 2:10:45 “replacement”

- 0:24 “operation”

- 1:35:14 “knock on the door”

Marker 34:35, Powder Magazine. This figure that was caught multiple times with this camera. What stands out to me are the three points for a head/face. This is usually a great sign of a positive anomaly. The three dots represent eyes and a nose, the depths/contours of a face.
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 phrase “iHeart radio” was heard on a spirit box: (what color is a big red barn?)

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.
Powder Magazine: Anomalous EMF reading of 4.9mG due to the lack of EMF found here.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “blood”, “Anjelica”, “don’t let”, “Bailey” (no other clues to define, but there are Baileys buried at the St. Philip’s Cemetery nearby), “Havana” ( we were discussing pirates), “Victoria”
Washington Square:. No EMF recorded.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Noteworthy real time findings: “Tom” (we’ve been getting more clues to the address where Dr. Ladd lived at 59 Church Street, now known as the Thomas Rose House), “no” when I asked if we were talking with Henry Timrod, several minutes after.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 12 minutes of the SBox recording above).
- 1:50:12 “how big or small”
- 1:54:12 “a man or a woman”
- 1:56:58 “sad man” (song lyric) Though Timrod was likely a sad person after losing his son, but we cannot “prove” feelings.;

- 2:01:09 “eagle will help you”

- 0:24 “one of the things you can avoid”
- 5:24 “the question you are asking”
- 5:35 “McCormick” This one seems very out of place. No other clues to define the source, but Anne Bonny is said to be seen all over town and her original Irish name was McCormac, it was changed to Cormac once they arrived in Georgetown to hide their Irish heritage.

- 1:00:33 “no place”

Marker 17:31, Philadelphia Alley. There are three figures in this screenshot; Carla, Chuck and a third, much shorter figure standing in front of Carla. During the video, I watched the motions of this figure to make sure it wasn’t coming from other “points” on Carla and this screen shot shows the three points I look for on a face for a nose and two eyes. This is legitimately a smaller figure in the picture.
Use the slidebar to see a lightened 2x copy of this picture. I do this 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: A 4.9mG (milligauss) reading was discovered on the Mel Meter. The word “bye” was heard on a spirit box as we were leaving.
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 4.3mG, 8.4mG, 15.4mG, 17.0mG, 17.1mG, 19.1mG, 26.5mG and a 41mG. The average spike for this location is 18-22mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “heartbeat”, “expelled”, “why did they go to the hole”, “he killed them”, “is that enough”. “1 o’clock” (see “sixty” from the digital word list above).
The Onvoy gave the letters “CP” which could be for Charles PInckney.
It’s noteworthy to mention that the number “three” was discovered on the digital word list as we entered this site. We have often seen this answer when someone pokes a little about the tragedy of Baby George Lucas, Eliza’s infant son who passed away in June of 1747. It is quite possible that we were being warned to allow the family to mourn since we are in the month of June.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on the spirit boxes: “Georgia”, “flowers” (been hearing this a lot at this location due to the address where Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd lived at 59 Church Street. We now know this house as the Thomas Rose House), “health” (could be considered a medical term), “Uncle Frank”, “100 percent”, “June 12th”.
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “red” (as we entered the space. I usually give this question out to the group of commonly found answers: What color was Anne Bonny’s hair?), “Calico” (John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “three three” (as I was mentioning lover number three, Mary Read), “twenty-seven”, “blood connection” (this was a personal experience, please listen to the EVP Audio for reasoning), “full metal jacket” (Calico Jack was named so because of his “fancy jackets”)
Washington Square:.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Although, “church” seemed to be a general theme with “white”, “church” (St. Michael’s is across the street from our location), and church music was heard by multiple listeners.
First time that three ghost hunters were put under the ESTES Method simultaneously.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 17 minutes of the SBox recording above).
- 2:01:13 “sinner”
- 2:04:00 “your body”
- 2:04:10 “Columbia, South Carolina” Henry Timrod died and is buried in Columbia.
- 2:06:50 “me and you” (song lyric)
- 2:09:21 “going back”
- 2:12:42 “voices”
- 2:15:54 “over the holiday” This could be referencing any holiday on the radio waves, but we were asking Henry Timrod to tell us the birthday of his son, Willie, who has a birthday of Christmas Eve.
- 2:16:16 “fifteen questions”

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.
- 0:23 “Confederate General”
- 5:44 “appears for the first time”
- 9:40 “family days”

- 1:05:21 (whistling) As we entered Philadelphia Alley to discuss The Whistling Doctor.
- 1:14:50 “problems”
- 1:15:24 “eight”
- 1:20:38 “eleventh” Part of Dr. Ladd’s death date of November 2, 1786.
- 1:25:15 (more whistling) Not sure I can recall getting two “whistles” in the same evening.
- 1:30:30 “you failed”
- 1:35:36 “steals your lunch money”
- 1:46:09 “falls…hundred feet”
- 1:51:10 “much lower”

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 readings: 3.3mG (milligauss), 12.7mG, 17.2mG, 26.5mG, 40mG from the Mel Meter. The K-II EMF Meter had ranges from 15-25mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “one”, “Abraham”, “Columbia” (we had one party from Columbia, SC), “start a fire” (from the SB11-ANC, the Pinckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “I’m pissed”, “one oh one”, “family” (this is a common term while investigating the PInckney home), “Civil War”, “I’m here”.
Noteworthy to mention that two ghost hunters on this team felt strong emotion while at this site, to the brink of tears.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “dangerous territory”, (whistle)(quite posssibly the same that I caught in the SBox recording spot check above), “started to cry”.
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the spirit boxes: “7502”, “handcuffs”, “fifty-one”, “four oh six”, “seven” (if there’s another seven, it’s relatable to Dr. Ladd’s birthday of July 7. We often discover double sevens here), “twenty-nine”, “six two eight”, “dog” (famous quote from Anne Bonny to Calico Jack), “heart attack”, “church” (common to get religious terms when near St. Philip’s Church), “nine nine”, “Bob”, “two four”, “Wesley”, “mi amore”, “shot”, “doctor” (these last two are definitely relatable to the duel in Philadelphia Alley), “in the middle”
The Onvoy gave the letters “POWD” as we approached the Powder Magazine.
Washington Square:. An EMF reading of 5.7mG was discovered after the ESTES session.
ESTES Method: A slightly successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Here are the terms that stood out in real time after watching the video of the session:
- “Henry” Obvious reference to our focus ghost of Henry Timrod.
- “Williams” This is Henry’s father’s name, whom he named his son, Willie, after.
- “Twenty-four” It’s highly unlikely that we’ll receive “Christmas” related terms during this time of year, but Willie Timrod was born on Christmas Eve.
- “No” Only relevant due to the Onvoy device spelling out “NONO” around the same time.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:
- 1:06 “gathered to make”
- 3:38 “veterans” Henry Timrod did serve briefly for the Confederates during the Civil War. Vague.
- 7:21 “follow me through the dark” (song lyric)
- 10:18 “boat load of money”
- 13:41 “died”
- 15:56 “spirit”

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 state, “New York” was heard on a spirit box. Big John Cannady played for the 1947 New York Giants.
Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 7.0mG (milligauss), 12.0mG, 19.0mG, 29.9mG, 47.9mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Victorian” (when asking Eliza when she died, this is an incorrect response), “I’m right here”, “David” (still don’t know who David is).
Philadelphia Alley: The name “Charles” was heard on a spirit box. This is common due to two Charles Pinckneys buried in St. Philip’s Graveyard: Eliza’s husband and nephew.
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Frank”, “you now belong to him”, (laughing or crying), “ladder” (after thinking about this, we did discuss Dr. Joseph Brown LADD. It’s a stretch, but still noteworthy), “military” (next to the Gun Powder Magazine), “he was”, “south” (SB11), “are you ready”.
Washington Square:.
ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Here are the terms that stood out in real time after watching the video of the session:
- “Shell” Which could be related to Shelley since there were other clues earlier in the investigation relevant to her.
- “1890” No relevance found.
Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 12 minutes of the SBox recording above).
- 0:11 “my bookbag” Focused on the word “book”, we discussed Henry Timrod’s “Blood Book”.
- 4:19 “military” Timrod did serve in the Civil War for a brief time.
- 4:21 “went for a walk”
- 7:19 “that’s a tough thing”
- 11:04 “small”
- 14:12 “join us again”
- 14:21 “Wilson”
