Infrared Lighting Video
Marker 35:00-35:01, small anomaly in the top right corner. Enters the frame, but dissipates before it can exit.
During the laser grid session, I know for certain that I saw two anomalies move through the green laser in real time. One about halfway between the laser pen and the brick wall moving left then right. The second being very close to my hand. Neither of these anomalies were found in the video.

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.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave spikes of 8.1mG and 12.5mG. The REM function of the Mel Meter gave two BLUE readings indicating motion near the user. The REM function also showed BLUE/YELLOW readings when asking Eliza if she would like us to leave.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Japanese” (noteworthy that this term also came up on the digital word list above), “first” (George Washington was a pallbearer at Eliza’s funeral), “leave”, “heart” (what color is the big red barn), “three and three”, “bad boys”, “forty-three”.
Noteworthy that Jessica was feeling a bit uneasy at this location and we had signifiers that we were not welcome: “leave”, and the answers provided through the REM function of the Mel Meter.
Lodge Alley: The Onvoy device spelled out the word “GIN”.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Travis Barker”, “kings”, “pregnant”, “talking”, “celebrating” (heard twice), “knees and back” (knee relevant to our next location where we discussed Dr. Ladd’s gunshot wound in the knee), “1821”, “no contact”, “six two”, “medical” (another relevant term to our next location), “four three”, “seventy”
Philadelphia Alley: The Onvoy device gave us a broken Orlando with the letters: “LNDO”.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Tom” (Dr. Ladd’s address, 59 Church Street, is also known as The Thomas Rose House. See “59” found in the SBox recording for link), “professional”, “coughing”, “blood”, “forty years”, “here with us”, “four fifty”, “they’re not worth much”, “money”.
Powder Magazine: The REM function of the Mel Meter gave several BLUE readings.
The Onvoy spelled out “LADI” and gave the initials “MB” (Mary Brennan was Anne Bonny’s mother).
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “president”, “tyranny”, “one I love”, “ninety-five”, “come out”, “every”, “sparkly”, “heart” (what color is Anne Bonny’s hair), “couple of weeks”, “special studio”, “twenty-seven”, “fifteen”, “blindfold”, “Scott”, “second”, “book”, “three three”, “injured”, “young child”, “California”, “no time in your life”, “twenty-three”.
Lawrimore Park (Quaker Graveyard): Slight success with the dowsing rods, no definitive details revealed.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “young man” (we were speculating that the “Erin” on the digital spirit box word list was a male after this), “eight hundred”, “ninety-seven, ninety-three”.
Washington Square: Several REM readings of BLUE and YELLOW from the Mel Meter.
The Onvoy device gave the letters “MGW”, with interference, this could be the initials of George Washington’s wife, Martha.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “eight” (Timrod was born on December 8, 1829), “thirty-five”, “fifty”, “Chloe”, “Chris”, “specific”, “my dad”, “best friend”, “five five”, “Valentino”.

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.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 5.9mG (milligauss) and 12.2mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “help”, “the year of” (when asking about Eliza’s death), “seventy-five” (a small stretch, but Eliza died at the age of 70, and you have to say seventy to get seventy-five), “Christian”, “the child rose up”.
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “my country”, “wedding” (vague, but we did discuss Anne Bonny’s marriage to James Bonny), “brother”, “there is nothing”, “firetruck” (What color is Anne Bonny’s red hair), “Peter”.
The Onvoy gave the letters “M-C-B” and with some interference, this could be the initials of Anne Bonny’s mother, Mary Brennan.
Lawrimore Park (Quaker Graveyard): One out of four dowsing rod users had success with answers.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “learn”, “new”, “seventeen” (this was a direct answer to a question of whether Bena Austin died in the 1600s or 1700s).
Washington Square: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 10mG, 13mG, 17mG, 24mG.
Terms heard on the SBox: “blood” (discussing Timrod’s “Blood Book”), “two” (see “four” in the digital spirit box word list), “two five nine”, “brought you home”, “is it timing”, “I don’t wanna do that”, “now is not the time” (when asking about Timrod’s son), “sex”, “mother”, “I want to”, “the writer” (Timrod was a poet), “eight hundred”, “twenty-eight”, “four oh four”, “coffee”, “my parents”, “singing”.
Noteworthy: There were plenty of terms throughout the investigation that either were real time events of direction or non-specific references to the discussion at hand.

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.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The K-II EMF Meter showed readings between 10-15mG. The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 5.0mG (milligauss), 6.0mG, 19.8mG, 21.5mG, 23.8mG, 31.2mG.
Terms heard on spirit boxes “twelve” (this is part of the date of the Great Fire of 1861 which destroyed the mansion; December 11, 1861), “six”, “Alex”, “number one”, “number two”.
Philadelphia Alley: The K-II EMF Meter had a steady read of 15mG during much of the duration of time spent in the alley.
The terms “house” and “John” were heard on spirit boxes. See “John” in the SBox recording findings above.
Powder Magazine: Terms heard on spirit boxes; “treachery”, “pistol” (possibly related to Philadelphia Alley where we discussed dueling), “Jack” (Calico Jack), “seventeen”, “Chris” (we had a Chris on our team), “Dave”, “nine”, (boom) sound, “saying hi”, “castle”, “daughter”.
Washington Square: EMF readings from the Mel Meter: 10mG, 14.0mG, 14.8mG, 22.2mG, 46mG, 49.8mG, 51.4mG, 64mG. The K-II EMF Meter gave a 15mG spike.
Terms heard on various spirit boxes: “David”, “Johnathan”, “Davis”, “Williams”, “lawyer”, “December” (Henry’s son, Willie, was born on Christmas Eve), “Jeffrey”, “magnolia”.
The Infrared light began flickering once we entered the space of high EMF detection.

- 0:16 “your job”
- 7:49 “nevermind”

- 1:57:13 “breathtaking” Interesting on this one, at first thought, one would think of something wondrous that took their breath away, but I couldn’t help but wonder if Henry Timrod’s tuberculosis would cause breathing issues. TB will cause shortness of breath.
- 2:03:49 “I have a friend” Couldn’t help but think of Timrod’s comrade Paul Hayne Hamilton, but found no other clues to confirm.
- 2:04:09 “secretly”

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.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 3.6mG (milligauss), 6.3mG, 6.4mG, 9.3mG, and 10.8mG.
The phrase “seventy-five percent” was heard on the SBox spirit box.
Lodge Alley: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 2.6mG, 3.4mG and 5.8 when placed directly on the Belgian Blocks that make up the alley.
The names “Ben Frank” and “Brady” were heard on the SBox. The two common names found in this location are “Benjamin” and “John”, both of whom lived here in 1801. See pages 12-13 of this archaeological document for the full list of residents.
The phrase “eighty years old” was also heard in real time.
Philadelphia Alley: The number “ninety-four” was heard on the SBox.
Powder Magazine: The name “Anne” was heard as we approached the Powder Magazine, along with the date of “February 17”. Although nothing significant to our specific locations on the route, I thought you’d find the Charleston history of February 17 interesting.
The REM function of the Mel Meter gave a distinct Blue reading indicating motion near the user.

We’ve created this Field Guide to help you navigate the media in your data set. There are paranormal examples as visual aids so you know exactly what you are watching/listening for in your media below.
EVP Audio
This first audio has all the histories we discussed during your investigation. It should be used a point of reference and listening for any EVPs 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 there to help you learn what to listen for as you go through this type of audio.
- 0:24 “book”
- 6:08 “football” Very loose term, but we were still at Big John’s Tavern named after New York Giants player, Big John Cannady.
- 12:11 “Walker”
- 12:16 “every promise” The term “promise” can often be found near the Pinckney Mansion site or near Charles Pinckney’s grave at St. Philip’s. Charles Pinckney introduced the Pinckney Promise to the Constitution.
- 20:29 “holy spirit”
- 27:12 “Citadel” Bleed-over from Big John’s where we discussed a bar fight between John and two cadets from the Citadel.
- 34:18 “prevail”
- 41:11 “it can be overwhelming”
- 48:59 “shake shake”
- 56:11 “fire” (song lyric) The Great Fire of 1861 which destroyed The Pinckney Mansion.
- 1:01:06 “picked up”
- 1:06:33 “broken” (song lyric)
- 1:14:18 “nine two eight” I’d be more excited with the exact number of “twenty-eight”, but it’s noteworthy that the trial of Anne Bonny and Mary Read took place on November 28, 1720.
- 1:20:36 “won’t let go”
- 1:29:00 “ninety-nine” We didn’t discuss this story, but the apparition of Sue Howard Hardy was captured in a photograph 99 years after her death. The photo is cursed to females who handle the photo (even in a digital format), so this link does NOT contain the photo, just the story.
- 1:36:44 “doom and gloom”
- 1:44:20 “not tell you”
- 1:52:20 “oh, there’s Willie” Probably the most exciting phrase discovered in the spot check. Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, died after just nine months.
Thermal Imaging Video

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/Big Red Barn: The name “Barry” was heard on a spirit box.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave spikes of 4.6mG (milligauss) and 20.2mG. There was a definitive BLUE reading from the REM function of the same device indicating motion near the user.
Terms heard on various spirit boxes: “in trouble”, “come down today”, “eighteen”, “football”, “University of South Carolina”, “first” (George Washington, our first president, served as a pallbearer at Eliza Lucas’s funeral), “hit me with your best shot” (song lyric)(clues as to the next location where we would discuss dueling), “one four” and “five four” (common number of four between these two sets of numbers: Eliza Lucas and Charles Pinckney had four children), “fireman” (Great Fire of 1861).
Philadelphia Alley: Screaming was heard over a spirit box radio sweep.
Powder Magazine: The REM function of the Mel Meter gave all colored readings throughout the duration of time spent at this location. This is an abnormal occurrence for this device to react this way at this location. (5)
The Onvoy device gave the initials “AB” (Anne Bonny) and the correct spelling of “SHIT” (foul language of the pirates), and “MER” (noteworthy that Meredith was the user of this device).
Terms heard on various spirit boxes: “one”, “two”, “twenty-three”, “justice” (Chief Justice Nicholas Lawes was the judge over Anne Bonny and Mary Read’s trial for piracy), “Tom”, “John” (John ‘Calico Jack’ Rackham), “boat” (common to find loose pirate terms like this when discussing Anne Bonny), “one oh two [102]”, “Anne Boleyn” (Anne Bonny, we didn’t need the “Boleyn” part of this message), “seven summers” (common to see the number 7 around this location due to several ties: Dr. Ladd’s birthday of July 7 (7/7); Calhoun, our 7th Vice President buried nearby; and the Powder Magazine served in 7 different wars), “I killed her”.
Washington Park: Terms/phrases heard from various spirit boxes: (screaming), “King”, “beautiful”, “native” (second consecutive night this showed up at this site. Obvious that Timrod is proud to be a Native Charlestonian), “prehistoric America”, “war” (Timrod was considered the laureate of the Confederacy during the Civil War), “don’t” (this was a directive to the user not to approach the obelisk in the center of the park).
“Chariot” was also heard in real time. Here’s what I found in relation to this very specific term: “ An early teacher of Timrod, who really knew and appreciated his character and mind, describes him when a boy, as “modest and diffident, with a nervous utterance, but with melody ever in his heart and on his lips. Though always slow of speech, he was yet, like Burns, quick to learn. The chariot wheels might jar in the gate through which he tried to drive his winged steeds, but the horses were of celestial temper, and the car of purest gold.”
I would also like to note that the term “gold” was discovered on a digital spirit box word list from the prior investigation at the same location.

Real Time Events based on Location:
Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave the following readings: 4.9mG (milligauss), 14mG, 17mG, 29.2mG and 34.2mG.
A temperature spike of 57° was discovered as we entered this site, then dropped back to the ambient temperature of 50.7°.
The Onvoy device spelled out the word “KILL”.
Terms/phrases heard on spirit boxes: “understand this shit”, “twelve” (part of the date of the Great Fire of 1861 which destroyed the Pinckney Mansion), “thirteen”, “indigo” (Eliza Lucas made indigo crops profitable), “three”, “four” (Eliza Lucas and Charles Pinckney had four children total), “never forget”, “truth”, “pressure”, “kid”, “1700” (this is the correct century for the Pinckney family).
“August 15th” was also heard: Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, son of Eliza Lucas, died on August 16, 1825. (damn close!) “Charles” was also heard in real time. Also noteworthy is the word “COAT” on the digital spirit box word list. Though not spelled correctly, the phonetics are the same. I’ve also seen “COAT” spelled out on the Onvoy device in a previous investigation. This is an absolute great find!
Philadelphia Alley: The number “seven” was heard in real time (this digit is often heard twice due to Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s birthday of July 7), and the term “shot” was heard while we discussed dueling.
Powder Magazine: Terms/phrases heard on spirit boxes: “Kelly” (there was a Kelly on our team), “father” (common to receive religious terms and phrases while near St. Philip’s Church), “Christ”, “mark[le]” (Mary Read went by Mark Read to become a pirate and hide her gender), “healing”, “David”, “Newman”, “battle” (investigating a Powder Magazine).
The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 12mG and 13mG. These are high readings for this location.
Washington Park: The REM function of the Mel Meter gave a BLUE reading indicating motion near the user.
Terms/phrases heard on spirit boxes: “fifteen”, “red” (discussing Timrod’s “Blood Book”), “nine” (Timrod’s son, Willie, lived for nine months), “gone”, “rock”, an “M” sound, “Michael” (we were across the street from ST. Michael’s Church), “Declaration of War”, “tomb” (the last line of Timrod’s “Charleston” poem reads “…the triumph or the tomb”, “passed away” (when asking about Timrod’s son), “Augustus”, “fourteen”, “Kirk”, “stabbed”, “here I am”.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Powder Magazine: Terms heard on the SBox spirit box: “California”, “John Wolf” (John Rackham is the birth name of Calico Jack), “I wanna soak up the sun” (song lyric), “start the fire” (St. Philip’s church did suffer from a few fires), (laughing), “twenty-five dollars off”, “December 6” (see “eighteen” discovered in the SBox recording above), “Back Jack” (another nod to Calico Jack).
Lawrimore Park (Quaker Graveyard): Breezy, but slightly successful movement from the dowsing rods. Also on the thermal imaging video (approximately marker 42:00) the indentations of those buried on the grounds can be detected, very interesting find indeed).
Washington Park: Terms heard on the SBox spirit box: “Florida”, “2590434”, “we’re here” (after asking if someone was there), “Isaac Finn”.

- 1:21 “colosseum”

- 13:58 “sixty-four” Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s birthday is July 7, 1764. Interestingly enough, we commonly hear two number 7’s in this location (7/7).

- 1:44:26 “fifty-eight” According to the Quaker Graveyard marker, there are a minimum of 55 people buried here. The exact number is unknown due to the phrase “children of Thomas and Sarah Fleming” which could indicate two or more children.
- 1:52:05 “please help”

The REM function of the Mel Meter gave an ORANGE reading indicating motion near the user.
Terms heard on various spirit boxes: “stop”, “hang” (discussing pirates which were usually hung), “heartbreak” (while discussing Sue Howard Hardy), “seven five” (see “seven” in the SBox findings), “open”, “knock you up”, “you’ll never know”, “ask questions”, “body”.

Lawrimore Park, marker 57:40. Quick cold anomaly of 63.7° versus the 74.1° ambient temperature. This is a 10.4° difference. Not quite the 15° that would solidify supernatural activity, but nonetheless noteworthy.
No anomalies detected during the spot check of the IR Video.

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.
Philadelphia Alley: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Lord” (common to hear/see religious terms as we near St. Philip’s Church), “two locations”, “mind”.
St. Philip’s Church/Cemetery: Terms heard on spirit boxes: “number one”, “across”. The letters “C-J” were found on the Onvoy device as we discussed Calico Jack.
Powder Magazine: The REM function of the Mel Meter gave a BLUE reading indicating motion near the user. There was a 10mG (milligauss) reading on the K-II EMF detector.
Terms heard on spirit boxes in relation to the two Charles Pinckneys buried on the eastern half of the St. Philip’s Cemetery: “indigo” (Charles Pinckney’s wife, Eliza Lucas, brought indigo crops to fruition for South Carolina), “L” (Charles Pinckney had two wives named Eliza, both of them with maiden names beginning with “L”: Lamb and Lucas), “governor” (Charles Pinckney’s nephew, Charles, was once governor of South Carolina), “husband”, “father of mine”.
Other terms heard on spirit boxes: “competition” (still near Philadelphia Alley, once known as Dueler’s Alley), “where you are”, “Queen”, “die”, “three months”, “landed”, “worth”, “black” (see African American in the digital word list above), “latch” (can’t help but be reminded of Blackbeard’s real name Edward Teach/Thatch, when seeing this), “seven seven” (this is Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s birthday and is often heard while near Philadelphia Alley: July 7).
Washington Square: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 8mG, 11mG, 13mG, and 17.3mG. The REM function gave readings of ORANGE and BLUE indicating motion near the user.
The Onvoy gave the following : “M-V” (discovered a dedication to Margaret Valk while exploring the area), and “O-N-E” which was also heard in real time on a spirit box.
Terms heard on various spirit boxes: “Smith”, “fifty-nine”, “child”, “one eight four”, “freedom”, “nine out of ten”, “three”, “more time please”, “church”, “Jesus”, “one” (also found on Onvoy), “seven”, “eight” (see “thirty” in digital word list), “catch me”, “June”, “purchase”, “field”
Lawrimore Park (Quaker Graveyard): Among three users, two had successful movement with asking questions with the dowsing rods.

We’ve created this Field Guide to help you navigate the media in your data set. There are paranormal examples as visual aids so you know exactly what you are watching/listening for in your media below.
This first audio has all the histories we discussed during your investigation. It should be used a point of reference and listening for any EVPs that may have slipped through.
These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are there to help you learn what to listen for as you go through this type of audio.
*Note: The SBox only recorded 58minutes and 50 seconds worth of radio sweeps. This is either due to user error or from unknown supernatural forces. Know that all SD cards are erased before every investigation to insure this doesn’t happen from technical errors. This recording ends about the time we were leaving the Pinckney Mansion site.
- 0:38 “already”
- 6:09 “Super Bowl”
- 10:37 “license”
- 15:22 “just a matter of time”
- 16:42 “those numbers”
- 21:53 “change of shape”
- 22:10 “four three seven”
- 26:36 “forty-two”
- 31:26 “that’s how the devil wants us”
- 31:41 “four million” With our spirit boxes slowed down, it’s common to have extra terms that are not part of a message. (Think about the “what color is the Big Red Barn” question with an answer of “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”) Eliza Lucas and Charles Pinckney had four children.
- 35:38 “explore the area”
- 36:07 “John” Still close to Big John’s Tavern.
- 40:51 “we don’t think about it…living” (two distinct stations/voices)
- 45:45 “pirate” No confirming clue but Anne Bonny is said to be seen all over Charleston.
- 50:38 “mischief”
- 55:44 “our children”
*Noteworthy findings as a whole: With phrases that are in bold above, I have to look at this as a whole and the fact that the recording stopped after the Pinckney Mansion. Over the past few weeks, there have been unwelcoming messages coming through at the Pinckney Mansion site. I’ve been investigating this space for three years, and I believe it’s time to retire it for a while.

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.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The K-II EMF detector gave readings of 10-15mG (milligauss). The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 2.9mG, 3.1mG, 5.6mG, 6.1mG, 10.1mG. The REM function of the Mel Meter gave Blue and Red Readings indicating motion near the user. I can’t recall ever receiving a Red reading while at this site.
Terms heard on various spirit boxes: “red” (what color is the Big Red Barn), “chandelier”, “1953”, “only time”, “A-K”, “at home” (common to see “family” and/or “home” at this site), “hard times”, “it’s okay”, “Big John’s Tavern” (literally one block away), “you wanna play”.
The Onvoy device gave the following letters: “F-I-R” (the Pinckney Mansion was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1861), “C-O-R-Y”.
Philadelphia Alley: The word “eyes” heard several times on a spirit box. The letters “R” and “I” are often seen/heard here due to the initials of Ralph Isaacs and Dr. Ladd’s home state of Rhode Island. “Country” and “Danny” were also heard on spirit boxes.
Powder Magazine: The REM function of the Mel Meter gave Orange and Red readings showing a direct response to asking about Anne Bonny’s hair color: Red. A spike of 15mG was found on the K-II EMF Meter.
Terms heard on various spirit boxes: “temperature”, “West Virginia”, “in seventeen years” (part of the year that the Powder Magazine was established: 1713), (screaming), “1961”.
Washington Square: Completely random and a multitude of colors on the REM function of the Mel Meter. If there’s a pattern, this can often be debunked by electrical lines nearby, this was not the case here.
Terms heard on spirit boxes: “Katy Perry” (as funny as this sounds, it’s relative. Henry Timrod’s wife was named Katie, and he wrote a poem with the same name), “record us”, “one oh one”, “ninety-four point three”, “east side”, “three”, “boyfriend”, “Minnesota”, “go away”.

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are there to help you learn what to listen for as you go through this type of audio.
- 1:02 “sixty two hundred”
- 8:39 “feel the energy”
- 16:31 “the other three” Only three of Eliza’s children survived: Charles Cotesworth, Thomas, and Harriot.
- 25:15 “never been taught”
- 32:33 “against”
- 41:21 “eight minutes”
- 46:16 “couple gets married”
- 53:57 “pneumonia”
- 1:00:57 “seven” This number is often found near/at Philadelphia Alley, usually heard twice due to Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s birthday of July 7 or 7/7.
- 1:10:17 “to win” Inside Philadelphia Alley discussing dueling.
- 1:16:50 “John” (song lyric) Getting closer to the Powder Magazine where we discussed John “Calico Jack” Rackham.
- 1:24:05 “female…you will be tested” Two different stations/voices. We would’ve been discussing Anne Bonny and Mary Read around this time. It’s common to get gendered phrases/terms when discussing these female pirates.
- 1:31:50 “1829” A statue of Henry Timrod, author and poet, sits in Washington Square. Though buried in Columbia, he was born in 1829, according to this record of his works. Very cool stuff here as he is said to haunt the Charleston Library Society due to his famous “blood book” that resides there.
- 1:42:12 “during the day”
- 1:49:35 “prison”
- 1:57:05 “Edgar Allan Poe” Very odd thing to hear on the radio, BUT, we were just one block away for the Unitarian Church, where it is said that the inspiration for Poe’s famous “Annabel Lee” haunts the cemetery. This was a lost lover of Poe’s while he was stationed in the Army on Sullivan’s Island.
- 2:04:39 “twenty dollars” (that’s the tip you two gave me, ironic, but nonetheless, noteworthy).
No anomalies detected in the spot check of the thermal imaging video. This video can and should be used as an EVP Audio as well.

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.
Pinckney Mansion Site: The EMF function of the Mel Meter gave readings of 3.6mG (milligauss), 8.1mG, 9.8mG.
Terms heard on the SBox spirit box: “John” (Still close to Big John’s Tavern), “knock it off”, “32-32-32”.
Philadelphia Alley: The phrase “I don’t know them” was heard on the SBox spirit box.
Washington Square: A small EMF spike of 4.2mG was discovered on the Mel Meter.
Terms heard on the SBox: “where’s John”, “another question for no reason”, “this is 29” (quite possibly the same “1829” discovered on the SBox recording, relevant either way), “David”.
Lawrimore Park (Quaker Graveyard): The phrase “it’s a new way” was heard on the SBox. Not ironic, but this was a new location being investigated for an addition to the tour route. Not my investigation/report, but learn more about the burial grounds here.
Plenty of direct open/close responses on the Dowsing Rods brought by Kelly. (5)

We’ve created this Field Guide to help you navigate the media in your data set. There are paranormal examples as visual aids so you know exactly what you are watching/listening for in your media below.
These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are there to help you learn what to listen for as you go through this type of audio.
- 0:03 “spirits” Near Big John’s Tavern which serves alcohol.
- 5:34 “structures of strength”
- 10:54 “officer”
- 17:35 “million dollars of silver”
- 23:11 “it ain’t easy” (song lyric)
- 23:18 “September” Still near Big John’s Tavern, where Big John Cannady was born in September and died in September.
- 29:55 “give life”
- 35:14 “know how hard it is…fairly easy” (two distinctive voice/stations here, like a conversation)
- 41:12 “three twenty-nine”
- 46:11 “after the death”
- 51:57 “I’m not scared of these people” Just an odd phrase considering the lack of activity from this location prior to this investigation. The Pinckney Mansion site had significantly high spikes of EMF during this investigation.
- 58:23 “on the market” Ironic that we would’ve been passing or just passed Market Street around this time.
- 1:05:42 “what you got to say”
- 1:13:04 “fight” Inside Philadelphia Alley where we discussed dueling.
- 1:20:19 “no confession here”
- 1:27:45 “injury”
- 1:34:38 “kingdom of heaven” Very common to hear religious terms around St. Philip’s but we were also discussing Calico Jack’s ship, The Kingston.
No anomalies detected in the spot check of the thermal imaging video. This video can and should be used as an EVP Audio as well.

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.
