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..

• 0:10 “thirty-eight”
• 5:26 “what seems to be the problem”
• 15:23 “Philip’s service” This one is odd and not able to be proven, but I have my speculation that Big John Cannady is buried at St. Philip’s Church.
• 20:26 “marry him or marry me” (song lyric)
• 25:01 “nine three six” Eliza Lucas PInckney died in 1793.
• 25:07 “are you lost”
• 25:36 “Chloe”
• 35:34 “they had respect”
• 40:29 “somehow take that”
• 45:11 “left” No other clues discovered to verify, but Thomas PInckney was shot in his left leg during the Battle of Camden.
• 50:41 “World War II games”
• 1:00:20 “my baby”
• 1:10:16 “object”
• 1:14:51 “upside down”
• 1:20:16 “now she does that”
• 1:20:32 “shoes that are uncomfortable” A few blocks away from where I would label this a possibility, but we previously discussed Eliza Lucas’s shoes and I showed you pictures from the Charleston Museum.
• 1:25;06 “on my knees” The Whistling Doctor, Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd, was shot in the knee during his duel with Ralph Isaacs.
• 1:30:10 “July” Dr. Ladd’s birthday is July 7. We often hear double sevens in this area.
• 1:40:21 “ninety percent”
• 1:50:20 “I’m not for that”
• 1:50:33 “made an effort”

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.

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 “try not to freak out” was heard on the SBox.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings from the Mel Meter: 5.0mG (milligauss), 13.7mG, 20mG, 27.3mG, 66mG. The average spike for this location is 18-22mG.

Terms heard on the spirit boxes: “it burned down” (direct answer to what happened to the Mansion. It was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “bartender” (bleed over from Big John’s Tavern.), four (when asking about the number of Eliza’s children: Charles Cotesworth, Thomas, George, Harriot).

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “this is relentless”, “music”, “seriously” (heard on the SB11-ANC)

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “woman left her home state” (though this is directly relevant to Anne Cormac leaving Ireland to come to Georgetown, we often will hear/see gendered terms while discussing Anne Bonny’s pirate career), “thirteen”, “Anne” (obvious reference to Anne Bonny), “rose” (bleed over from Philadelphia Alley, Dr. Ladd’s address of 59 Church Street is now known as The Thomas Rose House), “hundred”, “can you confirm that”, “fifty-seven”, “forty”, “military”, “secret”, “no way”, “fifty-four”, “nineteen”, “angel” (common to see/hear religious themed terms when near St. Philip’s), “Nick investigation” (hey! That’s me!)

Washington Square:. A small EMF reading of 5.1mG discovered while at this site.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. However, we asked Henry Timrod about his occupation several times. Eventually, we got answers with “job” and “wholesome words” towards the end. Because not a direct answer, this will not contribute to the ESTES session as a whole.

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 12 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 2:56 “impulse”
• 6:57 “flight”
• 9:20 “family”
• 12:04 “Chicago”
• 15:20 “underneath the front office”
• 15:35 “this is what it sounds like” (song lyric)

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.

There are two recordings for this investigation due to an error on the SBox. Part 1 ends as we left Philadelphia Alley.

Part 1

• 0:26 “calls for refunding”
• 0:56 “got hit” Vague, but we did discuss a bar fight involving Big John Cannady getting shot in the neck.
• 1:08 “my hands are up”
• 5:15 “what’s been the hardest”
• 10;27 “Tony” There was a Tony on this team.
• 20:26 “didn’t apologize”
• 20:40 “good lookin’”
• 25:41 “two seven seven, sixty, forty-three”
• 35;23 “summertime”
• 35:38 “look at what he has done”
• 41:06 “rest”
• 50:39 “anywhere I want”
• 55:45 “have you fulfilled”
• 1:00:26 “Oakland”

Part 2

• 0:10 “into a small”
• 5:29 “hanging half of them” Can’t discuss pirates without a few hangings.
• 10:31 “dressed up” Anne Bonny and Mary Read dressed as men to be disguised as pirates.
• 10:49 “regulation has to be applied”
• 15:49 “here’s another question”
• 25:21 “there are voices” (song lyric)
• 30:28 “health issues” Walking into Washington Park to discuss Henry Timrod and his tuberculosis.
• 35:48 “tomb” Not mentioned during the investigation, but I’ll often read the last stanza of Timrod’s “Charleston”. The last line of the stanza reads, “The triumph or the tomb.”
• 40:53 “Gale Willi[iams]” This one is odd. I listened several times and here the name “Willie” every time. Henry Timrod had an infant son named Willie pass away at only nine months old.
• 50:08 “fox”

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 at these locations.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 5.1mG (milligauss), 14.0mG, 14.5mG, 70mG, 95.4mG

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “twenty-one”, “water”, “sugar”, “be careful”, “five” (direct answer from the SB11-ANC when asking Charles if he had horses).

The Onvoy spelled out “GET”. 

Philadelphia Alley: The Onvoy gave initials “JL” (Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd) and “MR” (we were about to discuss pirate, Mary Read). 

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “you’re the only girl” (common to hear female gendered terms/phrases when discussing Anne Bonny), “see what we have planned for ya”, “red tattoo” (Anne Bonny’s hair color), “beautiful”, “flowers” (could be a relation to Dr. Ladd’s home at 59 Church Street, now known as the Thomas Rose House), “one thousand”, “July” (Dr. Ladd’s birthday is July 7, we often hear double sevens here), “redneck” (more red), “red”, “infamous”, “twenty-four”, “eight” and “March” (Anne Bonny’s birthday is speculated to be March 8, 1697), “big”, “girl”, “medical practice” (vague, but definitely doctor related, bleed over from Philadelphia Alley)

Washington Square:. No EMF readings discovered.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. However, the phrase “go away” was said during the session around the same time the Onvoy device spelled out “PRY” as if Timrod is annoyed that I’m prying into his private life, night after night.

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 12 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 54:40 “you got a job to do”
• 54:45 “alley”
• 58:16 “analysts”
• 1:00:45 “testify”
• 1:04:09 “every chapel”

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.

• 10:31 “five hundred and counting”
• 15:31 “two five”
• 20:09 “revival”
• 20:25 “into our world” Possibly disembodied (not radio chatter) since this odd voice goes over four radio sweeps.
• 20:36 “can’t live without”
• 25:46 “one week from tonight”
• 35:08 “everything that’s wrong”
• 36:05 “stable” We were still near the Big Red Barn.

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 3.1mG (milligauss) reading was discovered on the Mel Meter.

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 5.1mG, 14.9mG, 28.4mG, 31.3mG, 37.2mG, 44.9mG, 67.7mG. The average spike for this location is 18-22mG. 

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “number one” (George Washington was a pallbearer at Eliza Lucas’s funeral), “how are you”.

Philadelphia Alley: The Onvoy gave a “TAP” signal of the letter “I” when the TAP function was turned off. We’ll randomly see the initials here of Ralph Isaacs.

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “spirit”, “talking to the moon” (irony here is that I’ve been working on the next podcast/blog for moon phases and their effects of the paranormal)

Near the Circular Church, two readings of 5.4mG and 7.4mG were found while walking towards Washington Park.

Washington Square:. An EMF reading of 3.9mG discovered on the Mel Meter.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. However, it should be noted that Christine, one of the hunters under the ESTES Method had chest pains during the session and a burning sensation moving into her throat. All this while trying to communicate with Henry Timrod, who died of tuberculosis. 

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 15 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 2:23:09 “tribulation”
• 2:25:41 “focus is going to be”
• 2:30:29 “stay” 
• 2:30:32 “can’t see” Irony here is that the term “blind” is often seen/heard while doing an ESTES session. 
• 2:33:22 “look like”
• 2:35:48 “coming home”

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.

*Take note that this recording begins at the Pinckney Mansion site due to a an error with the SBox. 

• 5:10 “love life”
• 5:23 “probably a month”
• 10:35 “letting go” (song lyric)
• 15:00 “Corinthians 7” Not sure what everyone was asking but found this passage interesting nonetheless based on our location.
• 20:56 “son starting to heal”
• 30:17 “it’s the holiday”
• 35:50 “threatens your”
• 40:24 “loves it out here”:
• 45:16 “cosmos”
• 50:58 “target” Inside Philadelphia Alley discussing dueling.
• 56:10 “in between”
• 1:00:46 “founders” Eliza’s nephew, Charles Pinckney, is also buried at St. Philip’s. He is considered one of the Founders of South Carolina. 
• 1:10:50 “bones”
• 1:15:43 “age of thirty”
• 1:20:24 “subjective”
• 1:30:14 “mother”

This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Marker 1:03:44, Washington Square, ESTES Session. On Ciara’s hair is an orb. The motion and slower speed of this anomaly tells me it’s not an insect. There were four other insects coming in and out of the frame during this session, all with the same movement/speed/motion. Nice catch.

Structured Light Sensor Video

Be sure to subscribe to the SITC YouTube Channel by clicking the small logo in the bottom right corner. We start going live with mini investigations around Charleston in May 2023.

This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Marker 1:12:28, Washington Park, on the Henry Timrod Bust. Things of note that tells me this not picking up the shape of the memorial bust: first, there are three points to the face (eyes, nose), the same as it would pick up on a living human. Second, the legs are not “ending” on a point of the memorial base or the top of the wrought iron fencing around the monument, they are free-floating indicating that this is not the memorial. 

The total duration of this find is from 1:11:56 to 1:17:09, like Mr. Timrod is just sitting on his own memorial watching us try to talk to him by the bench.

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 “redwood” was heard on a spirit box: What color is a Big Red Barn?

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings: 8.5mG (milligauss), 14.7mG, 40mG, 62.4mG

Terms from spirit boxes: “jacket”, “2022”, “zero three twenty four”, “1-800-7”, “drown”, “husband”, “three”, “paper”, “forty-one”, “go” (heard on the SB11-ANC), “crochet”

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “whistle” and a whistling sound heard from a separate spirit box when discussing The Whistling Doctor. “Thirty-two”, “Charles” (Charles Pinckney, founder)

The Onvoy spelled out the word “GOWN” when near two of Eliza Pinckney’s relative gravesites. Eliza’s restored silk gown is being displayed at the Charleston Museum currently. 

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: (bell sounds), “four”, “thank you”, “Peter” (Eliza Lucas is buried at St. Peter’s in PHiladelphia. I only bring this up because of the “gown” found earlier along with “Charles”, “flame”, “I’m the captain of” (very piratey style phrase), “more”, “red” (the color of Anne Bonny’s hair), “ghost”, “what do you want”, “the fourth”

Washington Square:. A 7.0mg reading from the Mel Meter.

The name “Tim” was heard along the way to this site as we were about to discuss Henry Timrod. There were more “whistling” sounds heard on a spirit box. 

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:

• 0:39 “digestive system”
• 3:09 “apparently”
• 6:24 “628-59” Dr. Ladd’s address: 59 Church Street.
• 6:32 “both” A possible answer to me asking who was there with us, Dr. Ladd or Henry Timrod.
• 6:45 “nine” Henry’s son, Willie, died at only nine months old.
• 9;31 “writing is sloppy” Also said in real time, but this gives us Henry Timrod’s occupation.
• 12:18 “write and produce” Another occupational phrase said in real time.
• 12;28 “replace”

Washington Square:. 

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

The vague terms (nothing defined) were beginning to feel like a conversation about ¾  of the way through this session.

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: 17.8mG (milligauss), 36mG, 49mG, 61mG, 70mG, 104mG. These are extremely high readings for this  site. Average spike is between 18-22mG. 

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Luke” (Eliza Lucas Pinckney), “indigo” (Eliza is well-known for her indigo crops), “nineteen”, “fourteen” (Eliza Lucas and Charles PInckney were married for fourteen years until Charles’s death in 1758), “honor”, “needles.

Noteworthy that a female from this team revealed that before I told the team about Eliza’s breast cancer, that she had a soreness to a breast while investigating this site. This would be the first reporting of such an ache (at least revealed to me). 

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “my leg” (Dr. Ladd was shot in the knee by Ralph Isaacs during a duel in this alley/ SB11-ANC), “medicine” (Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd was our main character of this history), “it broke’, “help”.

Powder Magazine: A reading of 13.2mG was discovered at this site. Anomalous due to the lack of EMF found at this site.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “loot” (again, with very cheesy piratey terminology), “we know”, “August 20th”(Just an FYI: I found nothing relatable to this date in pirate history or with general Charleston history).

The Onvoy gave us the spelling: “PAP” when asking about Anne Bonny’s father. Stretch.

Washington Square: A 6.9mG reading discovered at this site. 

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

Most interesting that this was the longest of the ESTES methods I’ve done with new teams and it felt that we were finally getting in touch with someone the further we moved along. 

Noteworthy that four investigators felt extreme sadness towards the end of this session including one investigator under the ESTES Method. 

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 13 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 1:58:02 “looking at me”
• 1:58:56 “can do anything”
• 2:01:00 “twenty-nine”
• 2:01:04 “and nervous” 
• 2:03:30 “I was a young man” (could be a description of how Timrod met his wife, Katie)
• 2:05:50 “seven two” Timrod’s wife, Katie, lived to be 72 years old.
• 2:09:01 “go back”
• 2:10:45 “from red” We were discussing Timrod’s Blood Book. A stretch, but there could always be more to define this.

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.

• 35:24 “sixteen year old girl”
• 39:47 “forty-five dollars” Charles PInckney was 45 when he married Eliza.
• 45:54 “sweet sixteen” When a term shows up twice, it’s usually relevant, however, I do not know what 16 has to do with the PInckney family.
• 50:23 “counter Chinese” Couldn’t help but notice another Asian term.
• 54:48 “birthday”
• 54:56 “eighty-three tomorrow”

 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.

Photographs

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.

Click here to view all 92 photographs taken during your investigation.

Photo: Pinckney Mansion Site. Lower Center. Photo lightened 2x for clarity. Orb with mist below. Not light flare. Notice how both pieces form the figure of a person with the “orb” being the head. Use the slidebar to see the original raw photo versus lightened. This has all the possibilities of being a manifestation in progress.

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.

• 0:05 “root beer” Focus term of “beer” while standing next to Big John’s Tavern.
• 0:46 “Ray”
• 5:04 “kill them Pilgrims again…middle of the night” Quite possibly the strangest set of phrases I’ve ever heard from a spirit box.
• 10:41 “redeemed” Vague reference to Eliza’s great niece, Harriot. 5 Church Restaurant still has the bricks of “Redeemer” on the front of the building. Harriot Pinckney began this Redeemer Church so sailors had a place to worship when docked at Charleston. 
• 15:04 “neck pain” We discussed Big John’s bar brawl where he was shot/grazed in the neck.
• 15:36 “are you listening”
• 15:54 “May’ Perhaps a bit too easy since we’re in the month of May, but Eliza Lucas was married and in the month of May, and died in the month of May. Neither date was heard directly. See prominent dates at the top of this data page.
• 20:32 “four two”
• 25:35 “nine point nine million dollars”
• 30:35 “twenty-two” Double reference for Eliza. She was married at the age of 22 and was born in 1722. We hear this number a lot at this site.
• 31:09 “only twenty-three years old”
• 40:43 “reach”
• 45:30 “part of the city”
• 1:00:13 “isn’t that amazing”
• 1:05:00 “forgiven”
• 1:10:50 “is there a father” 
• 1:20:41 “seven nine zero”
• 1:25:46 “ambulance”
• 1:35:12 “student” Noteworthy to the additional term of “teacher” on the digital word list below. These terms occurred in close proximity of each other.
• 1:40:18 “put your arm around me”

Marker 35:09, Powder Magazine. Very quick curved anomaly caught in motion. Unlikely an insect due to size and it appeared and disappeared while in frame (coming in from outside the frame almost always defines a flying insect). Just right of center.

Marker 1:14:51, St. Michael’s Church/Graveyard. I can hear indistinguishable voices and heavy breathing.

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: 2.9mg, 4.0mG (milligauss), 4.1mG, 15mG, 36.3mG, 52.9mG. The average spike for this location is between 18-22mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “pronounce”, “black female”, “coffin”, “indigo” (heard several times, Eliza Lucas is well known for her indigo crops), “nobody knows you”, “eighty” (see GREGG in the digital word list generator notes), “arthritis”, “pink flowers” and “need” (put “pink” and “need” together, you have a very close phonetic sound to the name Pinckney), “horse” (still near the Big Red Barn which houses horses for carriage rides). 

Philadelphia Alley: The term “firefighters” was heard on a spirit box.

Powder Magazine:. Terms heard on spirit boxes: “fair trade” (vague, but pirates did trade goods/crops), “teenage years”, “bow down”, “benefit the boys and girls club”, “boys in blue” (it is common to receive gendered terms while discussing the cross-dressing of Anne Bonny), “three”, “Molly”.

In regards to the term “signs” and “I’m approaching”, and “eighty-seven” heard in real time. We didn’t discuss this history, but here are the ties for the story: There’s a sign inside St. Philip’s Church Cemetery across the street from our location that reads “There’s no ghost at St. Philip’s but the Holy Ghost”. This is because there was an apparition caught in a picture in 1987 by a local photographer. It is believed to be of Sue Howard Hardy, who died in June of 1888 (I’m approaching). I don’t always discuss this photo because it is believed to be cursed to females causing nausea, dizziness and headaches. This link does NOT contain the cursed photo, but still tells her tale.  

The Only spelled out the words “July” and “Far”. July being relevant to Dr. Ladd’s birthday of July 7. We often hear double sevens at this location, but this spelled out term cannot be denied of confirmed evidence of bleed over from the alley.

Washington Square: AnEMF reading of 12.2mG discovered while entering this site. 

During the ESTES session, the word “LIP” was spelled out when asking Henry Timrod about his facial hair. He had a very distinct mustache.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. 

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 15 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 1:54:13 “grandparents passed”
• 1:59:22 “sufficient”
• 2:03:29 “you’re actually right”
• 2:08:02 “in my head” (song lyric)
• 2:10:25 “felt the same” Can’t deny that Cindy had a cough all night, and then wasn’t feeling well during the ESTES session. 
• 2:10:42 “scared to death”

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: 6mG (milligauss), 47mG, 104mG, and 126mG. The average spike for this location is between 18-22mG.

Terms discovered on spirit boxes: “forty-one”, “1842”, “burn” (Pinckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “horse” and “horse-drawn”

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.

Powder Magazine:. The TriField EMF Meter gave spikes of 6mG and 30mG. Anomalous due to the lack of EMF found here.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “ style” (vague nod to Calico Jack), “higher”, 

“fifty-two” and “one twenty” (Didn’t put this together until after our investigation, but I would like to point out two things: First, Big John Cannady’s jersey numbers with the 1947-48 New York Giants were 20 and then 52. His grave location is unknown, but has the possibility of being on the eastern side of the St. Philip’s Cemetery since this is for native Charlestonians only. Cannady’s funeral was arranged by a downtown funeral home, but his burial is still unknown).

 “Caroline”, “promise” (Charles Pinckney, Eliza’s nephew, introduced the PInckney Promise to the Constitution), “Isaac” (Bleed over from Philadelphia Alley: the doctor’s opponent was Ralph Isaacs, who was a lawyer), “1886”, “shadow”, “lawyer” (see “Isaac” notes), “gun” (could be pirate or duel related), (whistling sound): We discussed the Whistling Doctor.

Washington Square: No EMF discovered while at this site. 

The phrase “he wrote a book” was heard on the way here while discussing my books and about to discuss a poet, Henry Timrod.

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. 

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 15 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 1:47:51 “you can avoid”
• 1:51:11 “Christmas shopping” First, let me point out that it’s May and we shouldn’t be hearing anything about Christmas on the radio. Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, was born on Christmas Eve.
• 2:00:09 “April 26th”

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 the spirit box: “47” (Big John was drafted the New Yorks Giants in 1947), and “Leigh Ann” (ghost hunter on the team’s name).

Pinckney Mansion Site: EMF readings from the Mel Meter: 2.7mG (milligauss), 2.9mG, 4.4mG, 7.7mG, 10.7mG, 17.4mG, 60mG. The average spike for this location is 18-22mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “one”, “Robert”, “six two eight”, “believe”, “fifteen” (heard twice) “denier”, “Billie”, “twenty” (again, with Big John’s jersey number), “three six”, “nine”.

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “summer” (see same term in the digital word list), “twenty-one years” (if this relates to the “just got out of prison” heard in real time, I don’t know who this pertains to).

Powder Magazine: EMF readings: 8.9mG, 12mG, 28.2mG, 32.6mG, 35mg. 

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “join our team”, “what is more”, “eight” (Anne Bonny is speculated to have a birthday of March 8), “body of Christ” (common to see/hear religious terms when near St. Philip’s Church), “believe”, “dog” (famous quote by Anne Bonny), “new project 67”, “rose-colored” (though thought to be an answer to Anne’s hair color, the term “rose” is relative to Dr. Ladd’s home of 59 Church Street, now known as the Thomas Rose House), “2000”, “Memphis 20”, “ladies” (female gendered terms are often found while discussing Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

Washington Square: 

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Though the word “war” was said during this session whereas Henry Timrod served for a brief time in the Civil War.

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording:

• 0:12 “they guessed the year”
• 0:24 “the horse”
• 4:26 “nine nine nine” Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, only lived to be nine months old.
• 8:54 “wisdom”
• 12:18 “right direction”

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.

• 0:12 “Boston”
• 0:29 “lots of names”
• 5:12 “focus on the family” The term “family” is commonly discovered around the Pinckney Mansion site.
• 10:57 “Chris”
• 15:36 “two twenty-nine”
• 20:20 “April”
• 25:16 “lot of paperwork”
• 30:28 “little things”
• 35:50 “church…doctor” Very early for Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd who lived at 59 Church Street to be coming through while at the Pinckney Mansion site….Dr. Ladd’s history is told while in Philadelphia Alley.
• 45:19 “here I am” (song lyric)
• 50:25 “having fun with our kids”
• 1:00:04 “Nick” It’s not uncommon to find my name at most of the sites investigated.
• 1:05:12 “husband”
• 1:10:05 “independent” Bleed-over from our soon to be told history of female pirate, Anne Bonny, at this time. Vague.
• 1:10:45 “eighty-five” Close, but no cigar. Dr. Ladd died in 1786.
• 1:20:52 “Jackson” Interestingly enough, I missed the reference in real time. At first, I believed this to be a nod to “Calico Jack”. Then remembering that clues to John Calhoun, buried on the other side of the ivy wall in St. Philip’s Cemetery will give random clues from time to time: he served as Vice President to Andrew Jackson.
• 1:26:02 “Jack and Diane” (song lyric) Here’s a true nod to John “Calico Jack” Rackham.
• 1:30:23 “friends”
• 1:35:51 “witness history”
• 1:40:28 “America”
• 1:46:00 “reach out”
• 1:49:57 “first guy who” We would’ve literally just passed a statue of George Washington in Washington Park.
• 1:50:48 “I need her”
• 1:54:52 “Washington” Washington Park.
• 1:55:05 “sounds like they were ripping” Tia and I were ripping open her blindfold.

Marker 12:00, Pinckney Mansion site. Headless anomaly discovered and analyzed with points of reference for a few minute duration. Use the slidebar to see the lightened version of this picture. Take note of the shadows to the left, not registered by the SLS technology. Also take note of the leg position which changes in the next picture and the “slanted” shoulders. If this were from the post itself, the shoulders would be perfectly straight across. 

Marker 11:38, PInckney Mansion site. Take note of the “crossed legs” and posture change as I am approaching the left side of this figure. Almost as if to turn and look at me directly.

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: 3.3mG (milligauss), 5.0mG, 7.0mG, 15.5mG, 26mG, and 47mG. The average spike for this location is 18-22mG.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “four or five” (very vague, but Charles PInckney was 45 years old when he married Eliza Lucas, 22), “don’t drink the water”, “burned” (The Pinckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “Washington” (George Washington served as a pallbearer at Eliza Lucas’s funeral), “that makes me nervous”.

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “four six two one” (though the “six” is incorrect, Mary Read died in April of 1721), “survival”, “love story”, “help me” (heard on the SB11-ANC)

Powder Magazine: No EMF recorded.

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “seven three four”, “picture”, “Bill” (this nickname came to be in the late 17th Century, so it would be accurate for Anne Bonny’s father, William Cormac), “difficult to speak”, “red light” (the color of Anne Bonny’s hair), “seven hundred” (when “7” is heard twice, it is often a reference to more clues to Dr. Ladd, his birthday was July 7), “thirty-three”, “Dublin”, “Gary” (SB11-ANC), “Ashley”.

Washington Square: Terms heard along the way and just inside the location: “twenty-nine”, “digging a hole”, “Mike” (next to St. Michael’s Church), “Bill” (Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, was named after Henry’s father, William), “Bible” (it’s not uncommon to hear/see religious terms when near either St. Michael’s or St. Philip’s), “Marie Barnett”. 

ESTES Method: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session performed while at this site.

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 10 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 2:00:11 “cross”
• 2:00:35 “my sister”
• 2:04:51 “there’s blood” We discussed Henry Timrod’s “Blood Book”.
• 2:08:16 “chicken”
• 2:08:27 “enemies”

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.

• “0:03” “and one, eleven” No other clues to define, but this is part of the date of the Great Fire of 1861 that destroyed the Pinckney Mansion only one block away from our location.
• 5:18 “end of the road” (song lyric)
• 10:16 “third”
• 15:36 “hear me” ( disembodied voice, meaning not radio chatter. Below is a screenshot of the audio waves where this was discovered. Notice there’s no change in static and where a voice “should be”. Radio voices will show spikes in the audio waves. There’s also a separate audio below for the audio waves displayed in the picture.)
• 15:44 “fifteen questions to ask”

• 1:10:26 “turning point”

• 1:20:23 “crush”
• 1:25:28 “ninety-eight” Anne Bonny is speculated to have been born in 1698.

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: 3.8mG (milligauss), 4.2mG, 10.8mG, 11.7mG, 23.6mG, 31.7mG, 48.9mg, 92.1mG. The average spiked reading for this location is 18-22mG. 

Terms/phrases heard on the spirit box: “walk through”, “experience”, “to people who have”, “detailed report”, “Eliza” (Eliza Lucas Pinckney), “hiding place” (see notes in the digital word list above), “left the toilet seat up” (possible reference to Thomas Pinckney who was shot in the left leg during the Battle of Camden), “other child”, “today is an example” (I looked into today’s date with the history of Charleston and interestingly enough, a poem describing a love affair between a gentleman and younger woman [describes Charles PInckney and Eliza Lucas], but further the line of “That cold December does make Love to May” stood out to me due to the birth of Eliza in December and her death in May.), “near me here”. 

Philadelphia Alley: No activity recorded.

Powder Magazine: Terms/phrases heard on the spirit box: “Chris”, “Katherine”, “the only property”, “fearful”, “what’s needed right now”, “to make them happy”, “unique”, “obviously quickly”, “road”, “food for troops”, “24 percent”, “her mother” (when asking about Anne Bonny’s parents), “station of love” (we often find “love” related terms when discussing the many lovers of Anne Bonny), “holy spirit”, “people stay” (though not noted in earlier terms, this was the second time the word “stay” came up in real time when telling Anne Bonny we were leaving shortly), “religion” (religious terminology is often found near St. Philip’s Church)

Washington Square: EMF Readings: 2.8mG, 3.1mG, 6.4mG, 10.1mG.

Terms/phrases heard on the spirit box: “a boy” (when asking about Henry Timrod’s son), “bad behavior”, “every day potentially”, “nine” (I asked how old he was when he died, this seems like a misinterpretation. I was referring to Henry himself, but his son, Willie, died at only 9 months), “other people”, “baby”, “9.9 million”, “last three”, “just coming”, “I know where to go”, “friend”, “husband struggled” (Henry Timrod died in poverty), “engineers”,

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.

There are two pieces of audio. The first one ends directly after we left the Pinckney Mansion Site.

Part 1

• 0:06 “seems to be very resilient”
• 5:14 “this might help”
• 10:19 “sweet site”
• 10:43 “exiled”
• 21:12 “four to one”
• 25:38 “donate”
• 30:32 “secretary”
• 35:04 “healthy”
• 35:54 “William” Noteworthy that this same name was also discovered at the top of the digital word list below.
• 40:33 “then there were only seven”
• 45:13 “seven point three” There are two sevens here in the last two phrases, close in timestamp. Close to leaving the Pinckney Mansion site to head to PHiladelphia Alley to discuss Dr. Ladd’s duel, whose birthday is July 7, or 7/7. 
• 45:46 “double” See previous notes for “seven point three”
• 50:34 “person suffering”

Part 2

• 0:06 “three and eight”
• 0:40 “hit the bottom”
• 4:58 “Philadelphia”  We were literally approaching Philadelphia Alley at this time.
• 5:45 “in Washington”
• 10:48 “gospel” Common to hear/see religious terms as we near St. Philip’s Church.
• 15:38 “ninety-five nine” Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd lived at 59 Church Street.
• 25:12 “knees” (song lyric) Dr. Ladd was shot in the knee during his duel with Ralph Isaacs.
• 30:08 “infections”
• 35:16 “call your doctor right away” At the Powder Magazine, bleed over from Philadelphia Alley and The Whistling Doctor.
• 40:34 “burnin’ down the house” (song lyric)
• 40:59 “he was shipped” Can’t help but highlight the word “ship” here when discussing pirates and the word “king” was heard in real time.
• 44:48 “the woods”
• 44:59 “for you are a spirit”
• 55:16 “able to keep my promise” Leaving the Powder Magazine area, but the term “promise” is often found near St. Philip’s Cemetery. Eliz PInckney’s nephew, Charles Pinckney, is buried on the eastern native Charlestonian side of the Cemetery and he introduced the PInckney’s Promise to the Constitution. This is not the first time this term has been found in this area.
• 1:00:20 “court filing”
• 1:05:21 “come home”
• 1:05:38 “first” Entering George Washington Park.

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 Mel Meter: 5.8mG (milligauss), 13.7mG, 19.0mG, 24.9mG, 36.4mG, 38.4mG, 52.4mG. 

Terms heard on the spirit box: “war” (could be a reference to Thomas Pinckney who fought in Revolutionary War Battle of Camden and captured by the British) “prisoner” (see “war” notes), “I journaled it” (direct answer. Eliza was well known for her writings), “two dudes in Baltimore”, “manager of three businesses” (the Lucas family owned three plantations), “torture” (when asking how Eliza died; breast cancer).

Philadelphia Alley: No EMF recorded.

The phrase “dead man” was heard while discussing dueling in the alley.

Powder Magazine: EMF readings: 9.8mG, 13.6mG, 16.4mG. These are anomalous due to the lack of readings found here.

Terms/phrases heard on the spirit box: “sail away” (not uncommon among pirates), “girls” (female gendered terms are often found while discussing Anne Bonny), “not guilty” (when discussing the trial), [religious terminology], “grave” (when asking Anne about her child in Cuba), “three hundred”, “only two”, “just one” (looking at these numbers as a whole: 300+2+1=303. Anne Bonny’s trial for piracy was 303 years ago: November 28, 1720), “king James” (Anne’s first husband, James Bonny), “red red wine” (Anne Bonny’s hair color), “and he is” (heard twice for emphasis. We figured out that this was her “boy” name: Andy), “it’s 3:30”, “king” (reference to John “Calico Jack” Rackham’s ship; The Kingston)

Washington Square: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session, but personal to the ghost hunter who went under the sensory deprivation process. 

The phrase “you can whistle at the bank” struck a cord with me since the house where Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd lived, 59 Church Street, is nearby. We’ve been finding more clues to this house specifically while at this location. Not sought after, they just happen. See my notes below.

ESTES Method: 

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 12 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 1:12:51 “prayer request”
• 1:18:02 “twenty-one”
• 1:18:13 “church” the Whistling Doctor lived at 59 Church Street.
• 1:23:20 “flame”
• 1:24:25 “Tom” 59 Church Street is now known as The Thomas Rose House and is the only historical home in Charleston with a “ghost story” on it’s marker.
• 1:24:53 “Sean Penn” A bit of a late response, but we did ask Henry Timrod to tell his occupation: pen.

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: 10.3mG (milligauss), 13mG, 20mG, 23mG, and 26mG. 

Terms heard on the spirit boxes: “burn” (The PInckney Mansion was destroyed by Great Fire of 1861), “forty-two”, “salvation”, “Philly” (Eliza Lucas PInckney died in Philadelphia and is buried there inside St. Peter’s Cemetery)

Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Dallas”, “eighty-five”.

Powder Magazine: No EMF recorded. 

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Jack” (we discussed John “Calico Jack” Rackham), “nine shots”, “three”. (I decided to take these last two phrases “nine shots” and “three” and look into September 3rd’s history in Charleston. We didn’t discuss Henry Laurens but he is buried nearby at the Circular Church. This almanac article I found also mentions his ship, The Mercury, which we had show up on the word list while inside Philadelphia Alley. I do not find any of this coincidental.)

Washington Square: An unsuccessful ESTES Method session.

The numbers “24” and “11” were recited during the session which “24” could be a relation to Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, who was born on Christmas Eve; December 24).

ESTES Method: 

Here are my findings during my spot check of the ESTES recording: (the last 10 minutes of the SBox recording above). 

• 1:43:25 “read the whole passage” There are nights where I read a short stanza from a Timrod poem.
• 1:50:44 “Phoenix”
• 1:51:23 “scientist”
• 1:52:37 “coconut”
